"That's Not Me" is a song by the American rock band the Beach Boys, the third track from their 1966 album ''Pet Sounds''. The song was written by Brian Wilson with Tony Asher. It is a work influenced by psychedelic drugs that inspired Wilson to turn his attention inward and probe his deep-seated self-doubts.〔 〕 ==Composition== The song was written by Brian Wilson and Tony Asher. While it is commonly understood that Wilson composed the majority of the music on ''Pet Sounds'', it has been claimed in Steven Gaines' book ''Heroes and Villains'' that "That's Not Me" was one of three songs in which Asher contributed musical ideas rather than acting solely as a co-lyricist; the other two being "Caroline, No" and "I Just Wasn't Made for These Times". Allmusic considers "That's Not Me" to be "the closest thing to a conventional rocker" on the ''Pet Sounds'' album. According to biographer Jim Fusilli, the harmonic structure of the composition is deceptive beginning in the key of E major. The choruses see the key modulate to B major. After the second chorus, it modulates again to C major. Fusilli notes that the arrangement does not indulge on string and horn orchestrations, unlike the rest of the ''Pet Sounds'' album, and as a result is an "avant-garde piece of pop music" which displays a "subversive performance" in the face of its sparse instrumentation and avoidance of major seventh chords.〔 As written in the ''Student's Guide to Music Tech'', Author James E. Perone recalled the song's use of a "sighing" ''motif'' present throughout the whole of ''Pet Sounds''. He explains, Asher has expressed dissatisfaction with the lyrics for the song, describing them as "labored", and that he had "missed the mark".〔Charles L. Granata, ''Wouldn't It Be Nice: Brian Wilson and the making of the Beach Boys' Pet sounds'' (Chicago Review Press), ISBN 1-55652-507-9, p. 93.〕 In 1976, Brian stated, "I think "That's Not Me" reveals a lot about myself, just the idea that you're going to look at yourself and say, 'Hey, now look, that's not me, kind of square off with yourself and say 'this is me, that's not me'." According to Brian, "Tony and I actually didn't even really realize who we were writing it for. We didn't really write for anybody; we just wrote the songs. So we had full ''carte blanche'' to create these songs."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「That's Not Me (The Beach Boys song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
