''That Lucky Old Sun'' is an album by American artist Music/BrianWilson. Released in 2008 and fully produced by Brian, it also features lyrics penned by Wilson's long time collaborator Music/VanDykeParks.
It is a concept album centered on Southern California, the area where Brian grew up as a [[Music/TheBeachBoys Beach Boy]]. "That Lucky Old Sun" is originally a song of the late fourties and serves as a leitmotif of the album while other songs like "Midnight's Another Day" and "Going Home" talk about Brian's life. Two old outtakes were used for the album: "Going Home" (originally recorded during ''Music/ThePaleySessions'') and Can't Wait Too Long (originally recorded for The Beach Boys' ''Music/WildHoney'').
!!Tracklist:
# "That Lucky Old Sun"
# "Morning Beat"

!!Those lucky old tropes:
* AlbumTitleDrop: Many times throughout the album.
* BoxedSet: Released the following year and containing music sheets, lithographies by Peter Blake (the art director of ''Music/SgtPeppersLonelyHeartsClubBand's cover who also collaborated with Brian on ''Music/GettinInOverMyHead'') and a VIP Pass for Brian's concerts dedicated to that album.
* CallBack
* CerebusCallBack: The soft voices that Brian hears in "Morning Beat" become beautiful on "Forever She'll Be My Surfer Girl" but become hard towards him on "Midnight's Another Day".
* CoverVersion: "That Lucky Old Sun" is originally a hit song from 1949.
* DoubleMeaning: "Room With A View" has the lyrics: "Meet the crack of dawn / A freeway starts to roll". While it can mean that life has its own flow, it also references the many freeways in Los Angeles.
* FadingIntoTheNextSong: Between each track.
* GratuitousSpanish: On "Mexican Girl" and "Cinco De Mayo".
* JadedWashout: "Venice Beach"
--> ''There's an old smudge of a beatnik by the bay''

--> ''Like a dream he drifts away''
* {{Leitmotif}}: The cover of the 1949 song "That Lucky Old Sun" reappears throughout the album, lyrically or instrumentally.
* LimitedLyricsSong: "Can't Wait Too Long":
--> ''Been Way Too Long''
--> ''Been Way Too Long''
** The reprise of "That Lucky Old Sun" near the end of the album:
--> ''Ooh, lucky old sun''
--> ''Ahh, lucky old sun''
--> ''That lucky old sun''
--> ''That lucky old sun''
--> ''He rolls around heaven all day''
* LyricalColdOpen: "That Lucky Old Sun"
* LocationSong: "Venice Beach" and "Southern California" (the former being located in the latter).
* TheMaker: "Live Let Live"
--> ''I got a notion we come from the ocean and''
--> ''God Almighty passed his hands on the water''
* MythologyGag: "Forever She'll Be My Music/SurferGirl" is about the year where Brian came up with classic Beach Boys ballad.
** "Going Home" features the "Shortenin' Bread riff", named in reference to the nursery rhyme which was also an obsession of Brian from the seventies to today.
* PepTalkSong: "California Role"
--> ''If there’s a roll in your heart, and a rock in your soul''
--> ''If you miss your shot''
--> ''It doesn’t mean you won’t reach your goal''
* ShoutOut: To Creator/WilliamShakespeare on "Between Pictures"
--> ''I mean, are we all not actors?''
--> ''And the whole wide world our stage?''
