The Beach BoysIn My Room Lyrics:
There's a world where I can go,
And tell my secrets to.
In my room, in my room.
(In my room.)
In this world I lock out all,
My worries and my fears.
In my room, in my room.
(In my room.)
Do my brooding and my scheming,
Lie awake and pray.
Do my crying and my sighing,
Laugh at yesterday.
Now it's dark and I'm alone,
But I won't be afraid.
In my room, in my room,
(In my room.)
(In my room.)
(In my room.)
(In my room.) [Fade.]
(In my room.)

1 About "In My Room," Gary Usher, who co-wrote the
lyrics, "Brian was always saying that his room was his
whole world." Brian seconds this opinion, saying "I had a
room, and I thought of it as my kingdom..." In 1990,
Brian wrote, "I also enjoyed producing 'In My Room'.
There is a story behind this song. When Dennis, Carl and
I lived in Hawthorne (California) as kids, we all slept
in the same room. One night I sang the song 'Ivory Tower'
to them and they liked it. Then a couple of weeks later,
I proceeded to teach them both how to sing the harmony
parts to it. It took them a little while, but they
finally learned it. We then sang this song night after
night. It brought peace to us. When we recorded 'In My
Room,' there was just Dennis, Carl and me on the first
verse... and we sounded just like we did in our bedroom
all those nights. This story has more meaning than ever
since Dennis' death." "In My Room" resided on the
Billboard Top 100 for 11 weeks, peaking at #23 in 1963.
Rolling Stone magazine named it #209th on its list of
greatest songs of all-time.
