This was written by Ellie Greenwich, Jeff Barry and Phil Spector for The Ronettes, who first recorded it in 1966. The Beach Boys' remake of this song is the first Beach Boys song in which Brian Wilson had no involvement, either with performing, composing, or producing - ironic, as Wilson idolized Phil Spector. Brian's brother Carl Wilson handled the production and lead vocals.
Ah, ooh This is the way I always dreamed it would be The way that it is, oh oh When you are holding me I never had a love of my own Maybe that's why when we're all alone I can hear music I can hear music The sound of the city, baby, seems to disappear I can hear music Sweet, sweet music Whenever you touch me, baby Whenever you're near Lovin' you It keeps me satisfied And I can't explain, oh no The way I'm feeling inside You look at me we kiss and then I close my eyes and here it comes again I can hear music I can hear music The sound of the city, baby, seems to disappear I can hear music Sweet, sweet music Whenever you touch me, baby Whenever you're near I hear the music all the time, yeah I hear the music, hold me tight now, baby I hear the music all the time I hear the music I hear the music (baby) Ah I can hear music I can hear music The sound of the city, baby, seems to disappear I can hear music Sweet, sweet music Whenever you touch me, baby
