Dennis Wilson's track 'Rainbows' from his 1977 solo album Pacific Ocean Blue has appeared in the sci-fi film Project Hail Mary and the HBO series DTF St. Louis. The song plays key scenes in both projects released this month. Its lyrics about nature suit the moments perfectly.
In August 1977, Dennis Wilson, the Beach Boys drummer, released Pacific Ocean Blue, the first solo album by any band member. The highlight 'Rainbows,' co-written with his brother Carl Wilson and Stephen Kalinich, was not a single—those were 'River Song' and 'You and I.' Nearly 50 years later, the song has found new audiences through recent screen placements. Its lyrics include lines like 'Earth opens up its arms for me/And when you get the feelin’/The feelin’ everything’s all right, you’re right.'
