That’s symbolism, right? God cannot be conceived of, so therefore we give him a literal meaning that he’s in the sky, so that people can understand what is being said." Reception He wants to run away from all that stuff and go back to his home, wherever that might be, in the sky. He explained that the narrator of the song "has so many obstacles that he just wants to go home.
Wilson's favorite part of the song was the "Take Me Home" section. According to Paley, "Brian was really into writing this as a survival thing, the idea of a little man against the big men and making it on your own … the misunderstandings that must have happened between travelers on the same trail and how scary that must have been." "Rio Grande" presents a series of episodic music segments meant to illustrate a trip across an American frontier. Early titles before "Rio Grande" was chosen included 'Baby, Child, Adult,' 'Child, Adult, and Parent,' and "Life's Suite." The lyrics of "Life's Suite" (pun intended), written by Landy, were brought in at the last moment and were rejected out of hand by Waronker.
Paley remarked, "Both Brian and the tremors took some adjusting to." A similar concept being worked on during the same period involved "Saturday Morning in the City" and "Saturday Evening in the City" about describing an ordinary Californian suburban weekend but was soon dropped. Work on "Rio Grande" began on October 1, 1987, which happened at the same time as a major Los Angeles earthquake that resulted in eight deaths and $350 million in property damage. It wasn’t directly influenced by Smile, just the vibes of it, the basic feeling of it." Some of it took on characteristics of the Smile album, but that’s all, just characteristics.
According to Wilson, "He wanted me to get a little bit into that kind of Smile bag, and I did. A Hawaiian theme was also being considered at the time but was dropped in favor of a Western theme. However, it was Lenny Waronker who insinuated to Brian to undertake a more complex, revealing, and provisional composition with an Old West theme inspired by the Howard Hawks film Red River and also the movie Rio Grande. Eugene Landy suggested to Brian to make a suite about the development of an individual. Waronker and Seymour Stein, the President of Sire Records, encouraged Wilson to make an impressionistic collage that had made Smile an interesting listening experience.
