I Just Wasn't Made for These Times is the second album by American musician Brian Wilson and the soundtrack to Don Was ' documentary of the same name , released by MCA Records on August 15, 1995. It consists almost entirely of rerecordings of Wilson's past songs. The title is derived from the Beach Boys ' 1966 song "I Just Wasn't Made for These Times ".
Wilson commented of the rerecordings in a 1995 interview: “At first, I thought ‘This is gonna be contrived, the songs were all old hat. But then I understood the context of it all, so I felt free to talk without worrying about what I was saying. I got a sense of my self — a sense of worth.[ 6]
