Sail On, Sailor
"Sail On, Sailor" (mislabeled "Sail On Sailor" on original pressings) is a song by American rock band the Beach Boys from their 1973 album ''Holland''. It was written primarily by Van Dyke Parks and Brian Wilson with Ray Kennedy, Tandyn Almer, and Jack Rieley. The song was released as a single in 1973, backed with "Only with You", and peaked at number 79 on the American singles charts. A 1975 reissue (also backed with "Only with You") charted higher, at number 49. Wilson himself later stated, "It's the only song that we did that I absolutely do not like at all. I never liked 'Sail On, Sailor'." Nonetheless, according to biographer Jon Stebbins, the song "is perhaps the only perennial Beach Boys favorite to still thrive in the classic rock and album rock FM radio formats of the present." Background Initial writing and demo tape Van Dyke Parks, who was then director of audio-visual services at Warner Bros. Records, explained the impetus for the song: "I called rianup out of the c ...

Unleash The Love
''Unleash the Love'' is the second solo studio album by American singer Mike Love. It was released on November 17, 2017. Background and production Before ''Unleash the Love'', Mike Love had not officially released a solo album since 1981's ''Looking Back with Love'', released 36 years earlier. ''Unleash the Love'' initially had the title of ''Mike Love Not War'', but that got shelved during the recording process. The term ''Mike Love Not War'' had previously been used in a variety of contexts, such as being placed on t-shirts and adopted as a title for an extended play by indie pop group Smudge (band), Smudge. Speaking with ''The Guardian'' in 2013, Love stated that he'd "stockpiled" a collection of songs for possible release "for decades". However, he'd hesitated due to needing to assemble the proper "team to get my music out". Broadly speaking, Love aimed to have the release remark upon "the hopes and aspirations of those on the planet who like to see more positivity and ha ...
