Great work.
Minor issue: Sherry, she needs me (1976) seems not to be about going back to one’s ex, but ending an affair with wife’s best friend.

Well it's a fair point in that I realized later it wasn't necessarily about going back to one's ex, but I don't think it can be about a wife's best friend either (though I wish it was because I like this interpretation better) because "maybe you'll want to make friends with her someday" implies no prior relationship between the two women. Are we overthinking it?

Watched it a couple of nights ago. Nice work, Adam!

Adam, not to be a nit picker, but Al wasn't the "new guy in the band" in 1965. Bruce was, though. Politically low on the totem pole, yes, and not an offical Beach Boy until 1973, but he'd been with the band for the first single, then from 1963 onward in the studio, in concert, and pictured on a few album covers prior to Summer Days. Great job as usual on the video!

Assuming this thread is also the main one for side two (although it's anything but clear), I'll take this opportunity to point out (again) the absurd similarity between the first three notes of "You're So Good To Me"...
...and those of Culture Club's "Karma Chameleon" (reptilian rather than amphibian):

Thank you so much for doing these. I always enjoy them, but this was particularly helpful to me. I have been going through a really stressful time at work recently and it has damaged my mental health. I really needed something to calm me and it turns out that the perfect stress reliever is your somnambulistic voice. I'm joking with that last comment, but serious about the rest. Thank you.

Thank you for telling me this. It really makes it all worthwhile. I'm glad it helped.

You simply cannot overthink enough.
