“‘Surf’s Up’ was meant to be a very human album. My song, ‘Feel Flows,’ was intended to be very reassuring. […] We are into the music for music’s sake, not because it’s ‘cool.’ Making music for people, having them out there listening, is a humbling experience. Some people get an ego thing out of it, but it’s the opposite with us — very humbling. Celebrities are what people create in their own minds. They allow us to exist. If they didn’t want us, we wouldn’t exist as a group.” - Carl Wilson, The Cincinnati Post (November 22, 1975)
