I love “God Only Knows” but my favorite song by Brian is “Don’t Worry Baby”. Just so so good.
Bout racing.. (and love)
@@jonjeffries3265 yeah, he says he should have kept his mouth shut when he started to brag about his car. But he's singing to his girlfriend. And it's beautiful.
My favorite is "Don't Worry Baby" also.
@@jeanettesmith765 He said The Ronettes "Be my Baby" influenced that tune..
@@jonjeffries3265 Didn't he marry one of them?
Oh never mind it was another women from a different group.
"The World could show nothing to me"
"So what good will living do me?"
Those lyrics alone bring a tear to my eye every time.
My personal favorite is "Don't Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder)". The lyrics and the melodic chords just builds the perfect atmosphere. But then, it's Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys.
The follow up to Paul's hit "Put Your Head on My Shoulder" was a catchy tune as well..."Put Your Head on My Scrotum"....
And that fn bassline!
When Brian sings "listen to your heaaaart" and the bass descends 💓💓💓
Have you listened to the instrumental track without vocals? Shiiiiit!
@@hippojuice23 its completely insane he wrote those chord inventions, like Cole Porter or Gershwin
The song The Warmth Of The Sun was a early Brian Wilson classic. It was a hint to the beauty of songs like God only Knows in later recordings.
I read many years ago and again in a recent article that I GET AROUND , from The Beach Boys Today , foretold the artistry of Brian Wilson and was thus a precursor of PET SOUNDS. Wings of Pegasus , the music reviewer here on CZcams, is a big fan our our BOYS and of Brian . He has done several reviews of Beach Boys music . Check out Wings of Pegasus.
The Warmth of The Sun was written the day after President Kennedy was "removed" from office.
"Band on the run" is a masterpiece. It's 3 great songs in one. And that sleeve cover is legendary
Agreed on all.
it's shite
Band on the run Is on the list 200 best álbum of all time in my opinion
@@billmoyer3254 your shite opinion
Do bent, old men with beards talk about it in legends?
Paul's pick of "God Only Knows" as his fav Beach Boys song is hard to argue against. Some of mine are: "In My Room"; "Caroline No"; "Sail On Sailor" and "The Girls On The Beach".
James Dunn Yes! “Surf’s Up” is brilliant!
Caroline No has always been my favourite, from the first time I heard it at the end of Pet Sounds, in a completely dark room, high as a kite, and it made me cry. Him being so innocent and childlike, and losing that because of the pain Caroline was causing, and the nostalgia of what they had. Man, what a great song.
Personally I love All i wanna do, even today it still feels like a really modern song
this whole world and sloop john b for me
Catch a Wave , I Get Around("I'm a real cool head - I'm makin real good bread")Brilliant! Sidewalk Surfin (jan & dean) Don't Worry Baby
The harmony and chord progression in God Only Knows is trully one of the most beautiful audio experiences I've had in my life
Agreed.
God only knows is for me the best song ever.
Sheer and utter perfection.
It has it all.
The band and Brian is really gone by the time , that track 'Pet Sounds ' was recorded. The you tube clips show other than Carl the rest of the band is out of it, drugged and gone by the time , God only Knows ' was performed on Ed Sullivan or whatever. Only Carl is on the record recorded track by that time..Carl first sang lead vocals on God only Knows and Good vibrations. From them it was Carl's band for the next 20 years. He is the only actual Beach Boy on the greatest tracks.
Even Brian Jones is still the Lead guitar on two of the tracks recorded with Sympathy for the D in Paris 1967.
No drum solo, so...
A genius commenting on another genius.
Well put.
Gifted Songwriters..!
Interesting theory. Do you have any evidence?
Interviewed by a genius
@@stevoglez Every rock guy is a genius. Einstein, DaVinci, Shakespeare, etc. What do we call them if 5 chord per song rockers are all geniuses? Even 4 chord rockers if their our favorites.
Ronnie wasn't saying that the song was "bluesy", he was saying that Brian had a lot of soul and a lot of hurt in him (which he did and still does)
Guessing.
Which, in my opinion, makes what he's doing now even more incredible. But through all the pain in Brian's life he's still standing and what the soundtrack of my life was from the 60's to this day. Brian and the Beach Boys were and still are as important to me as Lennon and McCartney and the Beatles.
In my room sums up Brian Wilson
I guess having an evil father beat the crap out of you all the time will do that.
@@Billfish57
Not necessarily, but if you're a budding, musical genius, you can take personal pain and exchange it into the world's gain.
The Beatles and The Beach Boys ❤️🇬🇧🇺🇲

Indeed considering all of the Beatles had Irish roots ☘️.
I've only recently come to appreciate the Beach Boys, and Brian in particular. I always loved "I Get Around", but HOLY CHRIST Brian knows how to make music, and how to give it so much character. Even with covers, whenever the chorus in "Do You Wanna Dance" hits, it hits me with full force and gives me the biggest smile. "Wouldn't it be Nice", "God Only Knows", "California Girls", "Good Vibrations", "Caroline, No", "Here Today"... The guy is just amazing (and of course the other Beach Boys too, who contributed considerably).
Brian Wilson's mental breakdown was probably the single worst thing that has happened in the history of pop music. In my opinion, its effect on the progression of music was as dreadful as the death of Buddy Holly a decade earlier; where were we to go from here? With the collapse of the SMiLE sessions, and Phil Spector's frustration over "River Deep - Mountain High," The Beatles were unopposed in artistic expression (which led to some rather lazy production in certain points of the White Album and Let It Be) and after they dissolved, what their rivalry with Wilson had created was now gone, and is yet to be recovered.
EDIT: I made this comment when I was like 16 lol. Brian Wilson is still one of the greatest songwriters of all time and the Rubber Soul/Pet Sounds era was a very interesting time in music. And the White Album is dope! It just has a few tracks like Honey Pie that are weird is all. Overall, I think I overstated this a bit. Thanks for the up votes though!
Brian Wilson will be in the same stage as Mozart and Beethoven
I don't think there's too much of the Beach Boys catalogue that stands up. "God Only Knows" is a terrific song. "Heroes and Villains" is his masterpiece. "Good Vibrations" was innovative at the time but lacks the depth of The Beatles experimental stuff. "California Girls" - good but lacks emotional depth. What else is there?
***** I must confess I only have a passing acquaintance with Surf's Up. Will give it a listen over the next few days. I always considered myself an admirer of the Beach Boys but I think the legacy is fairly meager. It is all, of course, individual tastes. I'd add "In My Room" and "Do It Again" to my list..
well try songs like Forever (by the great Dennis who later became a great composer), Warmth of the sun, Till I Die. Beach boys has a Lot of deep stuff
***** Yes, amazing body of work
Hard to argue with Sir Paul. God Only Knows is a beautiful song (great vocals by Carl). But I Often play Good Vibrations to lift my spirits. Like The Beach boys themselves, GV is timeless.
I have always loved Paul McCartney, and now I can say we both got something in common, we both agree that God only Know,s is a great, great song and our fav Beach Boys song.
"God Only Knows" is one of my favorite songs of all time.
God Only Knows is an amazing song! Carl does a great job in vocals too
When Carl died a huge part of the beach boys died it was so sad
Oh man! Carl Wilson's voice! Perfection!
Brian wrote the song for Carl to sing, his voice is half of what makes it amazing IMO
God only knows is one of the best songs ever written!
Paul is so level-headed ...lived the Rock & Roll lifestyle ...comes out level-headed ...very impressive, I'd say
He is...now, at least.
Every year he becomes wiser and more down-to-earth it seems. Don't get me wrong, I love all of the Beatles and it would be nearly impossible to be a BEATLE and not have an ego slightly smaller than Texas. One can certainly get some sense of how controlling he could be toward the other Beatles in video/audio clips and perhaps a bit of arrogance in interviews and such.
That said - his interviews and appearances in his silver-haired years have gotten progressively more thoughtful, entertaining and gracious towards fellow musicians, rivals and of course the other members of THE band, etc
(playing Wah-Wah on stage with George's friends during the Concert for George, anyone?)
@@jrodowens appreciate long reply Ted ...something about Paul, I really like ...can't quite put my finger on it ...it's a connection of sorts ...take care ...answer could be found in my mother's Scottish boodline, perhaps
@@jrodowens Paul didn’t have a bigger ego than the others. The only time he was dominant or overbearing was in the studio when it was his song. Otherwise he is said to be the nicest person ever. Why shouldn’t he have been a perfectionist in the studio? He understood what the Beatles meant to the world more than the others so he wanted to make sure everything was perfect.
@@ewest14 I dunno any of them personally, so maybe you're right - maybe not, I probably shouldn't have said anything either way.
However, the most reasonable presumption (and its just that) would be that the four most famous and beloved artists on the planet at the time (and for some time after) would find it difficult to contain their ego and avoid the trappings of fame and influences - and I mean that for all four of 'em.
I don't think any of them were horrible people, just shades of grey but mostly good like 2/3 of humanity (only with exceptional talent and charisma.)
I'd go so far as to say about all four, that their being beloved to this day is partly testament to their decency and genuine character - it shines through and highlights the humor and the beauty they conveyed to so many with words and music. Cheers.
@@ewest14 Paul was always known as the Diplomat of the band. All what he has achieve in his lifetime, he is entitled to have a bit of an ego. Love the guy.
Harmonies AND the numerous counter melodies as well. Such a genius vocal arrangement.
Well, there you have it: a living legend of pop music giving honor to another legend of pop music. It's 55 years later after The Beatles and The Beach Boys were popular, but both groups' music is still being played and discussed.
"Harmonies, melodies...words. It's a great song."
I'll add Brian's "Surf's Up" as well...
I strongly agree!
Definitely!
That would be my shout too.
Yes!! The song is so beautiful and the harmonies are incredible 💗
I may not be in the mayority but Still I Dream of It is also great
I was hoping he'd pick "Don't Worry Baby". I love that song.
Saying it's his favorite Beach Boys song is an understatement. That's his favorite song of *all time.*
"In My Room" is my favorite Beach Boy Song.
I couldn't choose. 'Wouldn't it be nice' is so heartfelt and innocent, 'I can hear music' so vulnerable and warm, 'id talk forever' just to name a few. This doesn't even touch the feel good songs that they did. TBB were truly great.
God Only Knows is one of my top favorite songs. A colleague from way back when, who was in his 50s and very much into classical music, especially Bach, grinned whenever that song was played on the radio and had to admit it wasn't another banal popsong, but something else. I remember that Friday On My Mind, Happy Together and No Milk Today were some of the other 60s songs that had his approval.
I cry because nobody appreciates Brian Wilson now a days like in my generation but I’m also happy cause Paul Said it’s a great song.... one of the Fab Four ....
McCartney acknowledges a "rivalry" with Wilson... and that's how, in all arenas, Humanity Progresses.
"Revolver" inspired "Pet Sounds," which inspired "Sgt. Pepper."
Jobs goosed Gates, who goosed Jobs.
Ravel gassed Gershwin, who gassed Ravel.
"Competition" is only a dirty word when it is accompanied by envy, by a lack of generosity-of-spirit:
At its best, it makes us all better than we would be otherwise, and that is all to the General, and Universal, Good.
tuxguys I agree with you, but it was Rubber Soul that inspired Pet Sounds, which was released not only before Pepper, but Revolver too. Yes, it is mind blowing ...
Fine with me...
I always liked "Rubber Soul" more than "Revolver," which I also liked.
Ya, and the guys who get it, understand that without one, the other is diminished so without the Beach Boys, the Beatles would have been less and vise versa
tuxguys Pet Sounds came out before and was a huge influence on Revolver.
Yes, Rubber Soul was released Dec 5, 1965 (recorded Oct 12, 1965 - Nov 15, 1965), Pet Sounds May 16, 1966 (recorded July 12, 1965 - Apr 13, 1966), Revolver Aug 5, 1966 (recorded Apr 6 - June 21) so we see there is a whole lot of overlap. I'm not going to try to research who was visiting whom in the studio etc or who was turning on to pot (Beatles Aug 1964) or acid (Beatles, summer 1965) when......
In my room is my absolute favorite. Such a genius. Beautiful tone in his voice.
“You still believe in me” is underrated makes me tear up
Yeah. Great singing, harmony and the lyrics are amazing. What a song to sign a girlfriend....
Heroes and Villains, Surf's Up, and All I Wanna Do are my amongst my favorite deep cuts by The Beach Boys. Brian Wilson set the blueprint for the complexity in pop music.
You could make the argument for all I wanna do being a deep cut. The other 2 are well known and highly regarded.
Love all three of those songs though
All I Wanna Do is my favorite song of all time. But only during summer.
I like God Only Knows a lot, but it's Good Vibrations that is not only the best Beach Boys song ever, it's the best 3 and a 1/2 minutes in rock and roll history.
disagree. WIBN is the best for me
With the old 8 track recording system, Brian Wilson pioneered putting the vocals on seven of the tracks and the instruments on one track, the reverse of what usually was done. This provided deeper more full vocals and harmonies that became the Beach Boys’ trademark
I would add pretty much everything Brian did. His music changed culture and is timeless.
I feel like “I’m Waiting for the Day” is an underappreciated masterpiece. That is my all time favorite song from The Beach Boys. “Good Vibrations,” “Sloop John B,” “Hushabye,” and “Surf’s Up” are some of my other favorites from them.
"Wouldn't it be nice "......sweet , naive young love, applies to us all at some time in our younger lives.
👍🏻
Good Vibrations is a masterpiece
Ronnie, Paul and Brian Lengends.!
Thanks for the excelent Music.
Great song. Best part is when they come out of the middle part with the da da da’s and hold that suspended note for a moment, and then resolve it. Heaven. Gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. Paul McCartney calling another composer a genius is like Albert Einstein calling a physicist a genius.
it's hard to argue against Paul McCartney and I pretty much agree with him. I'm going to throw warmth of the sun in there as a masterpiece. Aww heck, everything brian does is a masterpiece
Warmth of the Sun is my fave. For each verse, the part with just the vocalizations has a different feeling even though it’s sung exactly the same each time. Genius.
Mine is "Let Him Run Wild" from their transitional album "Summer Days and Summer Nights" (1965)
RockinProfessor That’s a GREAT album!
Yes!
I'm not sure if God Only Knows is my favourite Beach Boys song; however, it's definitely up there. I think it's between God Only Knows and You Still Believe In Me. Pet Sounds was certainly their best album, but I pretty much dig every sad tune that Brian created, regardless of the album. Sure they more commonly known for their sunshine 60s surf rock/pop songs, but Brian's true genius came out in his sad songs. Like the quote (i can't remember who said it), "the genius is sorrow"
*****
If we talk about all the beautiful, ingenious, astounding songs written by Brian Wilson, we'll be here all day. :) There's so many.
I love God Only Know, too. But probably my favorite sad song of Brian's is 'Til I Die, from the Surf's Up album (1971). A relatively unknown GEM !
burlingtonbill1
'Wouldn't It Be Nice' is my #1 favorite song ever.
thank you for mentioning til i die, one of the most sublime songs ever written. it always transports me.
jjaniero I agree. For me, Til I die and Surfs up are even better than the Pet Sounds Tunes. But: The concept of the album as a whole, the songs all together: Brian never reached that again. And probably I'm talking to B.W.-experts, but if you don't already know: Check out the "Love You" album. Synthie-Pop at its best.
And Carl sang it. Always knew you had the voice Carl.
RIP CARL and DENNIS WILSON
Good Vibrations is my pick. I don’t know why but it gives me chills every time.
Your right Paul god only knows is my favorite personally I think it's one of best songs ever written and the way thay sing it wow
There's a video of George Martin going to Brian Wilsons house and they're listening to the original master tracks of ''God Only Knows'' at the mixing console. Martin is messing with the sliders bringing tracks in and out to which Wilson says, ''You know what? That is a better mix than I had for the master.'' Martin replies, ''Never.'' Wilson's response was, ''George, I can't believe this is happening.''
This is the link to that video: czcams.com/video/CnVyCuc9_P8/video.html
@@gustaaf1892 ..Thanks .. that was great
That was my favorite too!!
When I first heard good vibrations in the early 80's when I was 13 or 14 it was like music from an other world, totally amazing and unique, then I got pet sounds ......
Paul and Brian’s birthdays are one day apart. Both are equally amazing singer, songwriters.🌹
Let’s Go Away For Awhile is my favorite off Pet Sounds
I really do love God Only Knows but my special favorite is Warmth of the Sun. The story behind it is inspiring and it reminds us that life goes on.
"Warmth of the Sun," "Don't Worry, Baby," and "In My Room," all great songs, probably surpassed by The Beatles' " A Day in the Life" for excellence.
I enjoyed so much the full episode, it was magic watching see them talking about music so comfortable ❤
Yes...God Only Knows is my favorite but I love Good Vibrations, I Can Hear Music, and Wouldn't It Be Nice". Carl's voice was strong and so pure...perfect pitch.
"God Only Knows" (Brian Wilson-Tony Asher). Mr. Asher wrote the entire lyric to the song and should forever be credited. Asher wrote the lyrics to most of Pet Sounds.
Thanks goodness they scrapped his lyrics for Good Vibrations (I know it's not on Pet Sounds) and went with Mike Love's.
"Good Vibrations". Best single of the 1960's
It's up there for sure. and Mike Love's lyrics certainly helped as they are poetic. However, the 60s just have so many great singles. The Beatles alone have many such as Yesterday, Hey Jude, Strawberry Fields Forever, She Loves You, Something
It’s a good one for sure. Although I really think it’s hard to say a beach boy song is the best of the 60’s. There’s just no edge to it, hard to be better than strawberry fields
@@maxg1836 that’s the point. There is no edge, it’s just beautiful. Strawberry fields is a good song but it’s more heavy duty. Not beautiful in the same way.
@@simonbean8855 and that’s my point. You need edge to be the best song in the 60’s. Good vibrations doesn’t capture that decade like whiter shade of pale, strawberry fields, the weight.
@@maxg1836 I don’t see why you need an edge.
When I was young Ronnie Wood and Rod Stewart were backup singers in a band called Faces...
Best harmonies "in my room"
Hey Ron-the crypt keeper called. He wants your corpse back.
LMAO! Good one
no shit
Regarding harmony, "I can hear music", by the beach boys is their best work IMHO
My favourite Beach Boys song is the same as Sir Paul. Always loved that song and also sang it to my Sweetheart .
Just the opening strains of God Only Knows are breathtaking 😍 ❤✌
That French horn on the intro - I don't know where, but it sends me there.
I don't know if I would use the term "bluesy" but there is absolutely an undercurrent of "melancholy" in songs like "God Only Knows", "Wouldn't It Be Nice", "Don't Worry Baby", etc. To me, that element makes The Beach Boys music so great---there is a certain wistfulness to it, VERY introspective and reflective!!
For me, it's either Feel Flows from the Surf's Up album or Add Some Music To Your Day from Sunflower.
I can't choose between the 2.
so predicably his favorite 'CMON pick somethin else
Thank you so much !!!
The worst thing about this video is Paul’s face in the thumbnail
BiZaRReTV I know right? They could've done a better job on picking out the thumbnail
Lol
For me the best Beach Boys songs were the ballads: In My Room, Surfer Girl, Don't Worry Baby.
Yes! to all three ... and Wendy, and Wouldn't It be Nice.
It's a truly fabulous song, and will always hold up. The sound and lyrics of the first verse had me already.
Loved this show these two are fans as well it was great to see this loved the Ronnie wood shows 👏👏👏👏👏
Pet sounds one greatest of rock and roll history
I can hear music, is a great song, by the way, do the rolling stones live near something that is radioactive?
lololo, Fred...that was good!
Hilarious!
Your summer dream. Beautiful song. I know that the beach boys were and are world famous but many of there songs have been way overlooked and so has the band in general and i just think that they don't get the recognition they deserve.
"God Only Knows" is a stand-out track on the 'Pet Sounds' album. I do enjoy the French horn, the flutes, the strings, the complex chord changes, and of course, Carl's lead vocal.
and thats why the beatles are the greatest my friend
People, be real. Ronnie has lived the rock n roll life of late nights, to bed at 5:00a.m., drinking, smoking cigarettes and partying. That sort of life does take a toll eventually. Ronnie and Keith Richards have both endured a rock n roll life well. Mick is a jogger and likely a health food fantastic. Charlie has a brush with cancer and hopefully he is living organically too. I love the Stones.....they are legendary!
Mick Jogger
Don't forget Bill, he's the oldest of the bunch and he's still doing fine. Though he wasn't nearly as wild as Jagger and Richards were.
There are so many songs of The Beach Boys that just stunning. Enjoy !
California native here. I like Good Vibrations
Maybe not their surf stuff, but 'Sail on Sailor' feels 'bluesy' enough for me.
Coincidently George Martin's also had an obsession with this song, it might also be a testimony of how much the Beatles were influenced by Mr. Martin's opinions.
Beautiful 🤩 !!!
Heros and Villains. Good Vibrations a close second.
"Chords and Harmonies, stuff of THAT TIME", sadly its not stuff of this time.
Why do people always comment things like this as if good music just doesn't exist anymore? There's still plenty of good music everywhere, all that's changed is what the most popular stuff is.
It does - it just isn't in the charts (mostly). It's like saying there are no good writers since Shakespeare or Dickens etc - if you get to a library and get searching, you'll soon find some gems. Same with music, if you expect the charts to spoon feed you the best music then you're going to be disappointed. You've got to put a bit of effort in and look for it. In the past you could search through a record store - now you've got to explore on Spotify or CZcams etc. There are some amazing artists out there - but you won't hear them through your radio these days. The music business has changed a lot since the 60's and some stuff just isn't deemed ''commercial'' enough for the masses to ever get a sniff of it.
Ate o cara ta aqui kk
JoãoVitor. That’s exactly wat I WASN’t thinking. br kol pok lap slu.
_" not stuff of this time."_
Autotune, quantizing and copyright lawsuits.
god only knows what happened to ron wood
👍👍👍👍👍👍
I never thought I’d be so happy to hear someone I love so much talk about something else I love almost as much.
Gotta agree with the legend here. God only knows is one of their best hits and certainly my favorite as well.
I love that Paul Mccartney loves this song...wait Paul. I love your songs but sad you didn't get to write this song. i love my Beatles forever...I reallly believe Paul have liked to have wrote this song...too late Paul...you have Yesterday that is your song. beach boys rule with God Only Knows..
She's Leaving Home's an unusual but quite touching Paul song if you're in the mood. I'd rate that, Eleanor Rigby, Here There and Everywhere, For No-One and others above his lighters in the air stuff like Yesterday and Hey Jude.
Here, There and Everywhere is my favorite Paul song. I think it's much better than Yesterday honestly.
Good grief, take it easy!! We are enriched by both of their contributions - thank god they didn't write the same songs. What a dull world if creativity were so confined...
Whatever the Beach Boys did, the Beatles would usually come back and top them on the next record, but I don't think they ever topped "God Only Knows." It was just _too_ good. (Although "Let It Be" was extremely close.)
Bill in my opinion she's leaving home or a day in the life tops god only knows
Talking about albums, they never topped Pet Sounds but had a better discography outside of that. Also, there's no way they would've been able to top Smile if Brian finished it.
great video thanks for posting
God only knows is my favorite beach Boys song to. Really great song
Poor Paul. He couldn't even stand looking at Wood. (Why is even there in the first place?) Let's not forget, girls. Paul was the cute one! The Stones hired Ron so that Mick and Keef would look handsome. (The same reason Tyler hired Perry for Aerosmith.)
Beach Boys Bluesy?
Yeah but Paul was talking about God only knows
i think the intro to good vibrations is the best song intro of all time
It's my favorite too Sir Paul!
Beatles in competition with Beach Boys for harmonies!? Lol, dont think so.
who ever said that the Beatles had better harmony? you are making shit up
Because
This boy
If I needed someone
The list goes on. Definitely in competition with the BB.
@@DrB81 Don't forget Yes It Is.
Brian Wilson was very "bluesy"? Sorry Ronnie, you're way out of your depth.
Yeah!
Love
The Beach Boys!
I don't know if I would use the term "bluesy" but there is absolutely an undercurrent of "melancholy" in songs like "God Only Knows", "Wouldn't It Be Nice", "Don't Worry Baby", etc. To me, that element makes The Beach Boys music so great---there is a certain wistfulness to it--very reflective!!
Brian Wilson > Paul McCartney
Brian Wilson + John Lennon > Paul McCartney + Brian Wilson > Brian Wilson + Brian Wilson > Al Jardine + Al Roker
Ted Bundy > Al Bundy
The Beatles were so fucking overrated
Nah, The Beatles aren't overrated, they're great. But The Beach Boys are EXTREMELY underrated.
Lennon/McCartney > Wilson
Lord Krishna and The Drummer > rest of the Beach Boys
Still...Beach Boys > modern pop
