Still I Dream of It

"Still I Dream of It" is a song written by Brian Wilson for the American rock band The Beach Boys. The song was originally written for Frank Sinatra, but was also intended for Stevie Wonder or Elton John, in case Sinatra would reject it.[1] After that, the song was to be on the Adult/Child album; when the album was aborted, the song sat in the archives for many years. It was eventually released on the Beach Boys' 1993 box set Good Vibrations: Thirty Years of The Beach Boys as the fourteenth track on disc four. A demo version of Brian Wilson singing the song and accompanying himself on piano was included on Wilson's 1995 solo album I Just Wasn't Made for These Times.
