It's too bad nobody has commented on this, it's a really underrated song, and as always, Carl sings beautifully. Everytime I listen to the words, half of it sounds like mumbo jumbo to me for some reason (even though I can understand the words), but it seems pretty obvious that it has to do with overcoming difficult hurdles and fighting off the obstacles in life, or something like that. At any rate, people should search for this song on youtube, there's a really sweet music video type thing they filmed for it, with Carl.
Astrobot, I've listened to Beach Boys songs for years (decades even) but usually the more popular ones i.e the hits, but I stumbled upon this one yesterday and I haven't been able to get the chorus out of my head. I agree this is an underrated song. I'll check out the Youtube video tonight. I like Carl but always preferred Denny cuz he was cool as fuck but Carl could write and sing. No questioning that.

@astrobot I absolutely agree that this song is far underrated, however seeing Long Promised Road used as the title for Brian Wilson’s documentary is a beautiful nod to his brother and I’m noticing more attention being given to this album by YouTube creators. And yes, I do realize that your original comment was made 15 years ago ;)

This is pretty much a Carl Wilson solo track. He plays all the instruments and sings all the vocals. Amazing tune. RIP Carl :(
