After churning out close to 20 albums in ten years, describing the entire relationship cycle in Pet Sounds, as well as the story of America and the universe in Smile, replete with rich vocal harmonies and orchestral textures, it seems that Brian Wilson was pretty fatigued by this point in time. "Busy Doing Nothing" is one of his autobiographical playlets, along with other underappreciated gems like "I Went to Sleep" and "Time to Get Alone" - spare instrumentation and nuanced rhythms as he describes the more mundane aspects of life. It's got a great bossa nova beat and complex chord progressions, as well as directions to his Bel Air estate.
