Deirdre
Beach Boys · Other Songs - Beach Boys
It wasn't so bad
It's only life and what you're livin' for
Sit down right here
I'll send away your tears
Well we don't have to talk about it much more
Good things turn bad but it's over now
So don't look sad 'cause you're older now
Lots of people miss Deirdre
You're back again
You still have all your friends
And they used to ask me why'd you go away Deirdre
Oo hoo hooo
What could I say
That you ran away
Don't you think it's time that you stayed right near me
These nights, pretty nights, that were meant to be
With you and me
It's the way that we
Always had our love, Deirdre
I love your red hair
Deirdre
Do do do do do do
Dear dear dear Deirdre
I'm glad you're home again
Oo ooo ooo
Ooo hoooo
Oooo hoooo
Baby 1 2 3 and you're back with me
Ooo hooo
Tomorrow at ten
I'll wake you and then
We'll take a bath and then I'll laugh again with Deirdre
You may not live with me every day
All that I care is that we find a way
To stay together with Deirdre
Deirdre
Do do do do do do
Dear dear dear Deirdre
Ooo do do do do do do
Ooo do do do do do do
Deirdre - Beach Boys
Released in 1963, "Deirdre" stands as a pivotal track in the early catalog of The Beach Boys, marking a significant shift in their sound and thematic focus. While the group was renowned for its harmonies and surf-pop themes, this recording introduces a more mature, melancholic tone that would define their later work. The song features Brian Wilson's intricate composition and vocal arrangements, blending traditional pop structures with a deeper emotional resonance that foreshadowed the psychedelic and experimental directions the band would take in the mid-1960s. Its enduring legacy lies in its ability to capture a specific moment of introspection within the broader landscape of California rock and roll, influencing countless artists who followed in the pursuit of complex vocal harmonies and sophisticated songwriting.
