I don’t recognize the title of any of these songs.

The title track was actually written and partially completed in the ‘60s golden age, but it sat on the shelf with most of the rest of the tracks from Brian Wilson’s legendary unfinished “Smile” album, though Brian played a solo piano rendition on a TV show that aired in 1967.
