"I Just Wasn't Made for These Times" is a song written by Brian Wilson and Tony Asher for American rock band the Beach Boys about depression and social alienation. Also produced and sung by Wilson, it appears as the eleventh track on their 1966 album Pet Sounds. He described it as "about a guy who was crying out because he thought he was too advanced, and that he'd eventually have to leave people behind." Its chorus features Spanish-sung background vocals: "Oh, ¿cuándo seré? Un día seré" ("When will I be? One day I will be") The song is an early work of psychedelic rock. Its instrumentation includes harpsichord, muted bass guitar, and a theremin soundalike instrument called the Electro-Theremin. It is the first instance of an Electro-Theremin being used in popular music and the first in rock music to feature a theremin-like instrument.more »
