"Feel Flows" is a song written by Carl Wilson and Jack Rieley for the American rock band The Beach Boys. It was released on their 1971 album Surf's Up.

Carl Wilson's lead vocals were recorded using reverse echo.

The song was used in the 1972 surfing documentary Five Summer Stories. In 2000, movie director Cameron Crowe used this song in the Almost Famous soundtrack, and it played during the end credits of the film. Use of the song in the film may be indirectly attributed to Crowe's wife Nancy Wilson of Heart (no relation to the Beach Boys' family). In a syndicated "Guest DJ" 1 hour radio program that aired nationally in 1982, Nancy Wilson played it as one of her selections and offered high praise for the song.

In 2005 it appeared on a compilation album of music that has inspired the Welsh indie-psychedelic pop band the Super Furry Animals titled "Under the Influence".

The Beach Boys are an American rock band, formed in 1961 in Hawthorne, California. The group was initially composed of brothers Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson, their cousin Mike Love, and friend Al Jardine. They were managed early on by the Wilsons' father, Murry. The band's leader, composer, arranger and producer Brian Wilson was responsible for writing most of the band's early singles and albums. After signing with Capitol Records in mid-1962, Wilson wrote or co-wrote more than two dozen Top 40 hits including "Surfin' Safari", "Surfin' USA", "Surfer Girl", "Little Deuce Coupe", "Be True to Your School", "In My Room", "Fun, Fun, Fun", "I Get Around", "Dance Dance Dance", "Help Me Rhonda" and "California Girls". These songs and their accompanying albums were internationally popular, making The Beach Boys one of the biggest acts of their time. The band's early music gained popularity across the United States for its close vocal harmonies and lyrics reflecting a Southern California youth culture of surfing, cars, and romance. By the mid-1960s, Brian's growing creative ambition and songwriting ability would dominate the group's musical direction. The primarily Brian-composed Pet Sounds album and "Good Vibrations" single (both released in 1966) featured a complex, intricate and multi-layered sound.

Carl Dean Wilson (December 21, 1946 – February 6, 1998) was an American rock and roll singer and guitarist, best known as a founding member, lead guitarist and occasional lead vocalist of The Beach Boys. Wilson performed lead vocals on a number of notable songs by The Beach Boys, including "Good Vibrations" and "God Only Knows".

Carl Wilson was the younger brother of fellow Beach Boys Dennis and Brian Wilson. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988. Wilson died in 1998 from a combination of brain and lung cancer.

Wilson was born in Hawthorne, California, the son of Audree Neva (née Korthof) and Murry Gage Wilson. Wilson played the Chuck Berry-esque guitar parts on many of the band's early hits. Turning 15 as the group's first hit, "Surfin'", broke locally in Los Angeles, his father and manager, Murry Wilson, who sold his business to support his sons' band, bought him a Fender Jaguar. By the end of 1964 he was using a 12-string Rickenbacker, also favored by George Harrison of the Beatles and Roger McGuinn of the Byrds. Because the band first became successful when he was in his teens, he was still developing as a musician and singer. Though both quickly became skilled guitarists, he was nominally the lead over David Marks when they first started recording. Dave Marsh, in "The Rolling Stone Illustrated History of Rock & Roll" (1976), stated that Pete Townshend of The Who expanded on both R&B and white rock "influenced heavily by Beach Boy Carl Wilson...".
