A year out of High School and soon on my way to Vietnam to get shot at and missed, shit on and hit. Four years later and safely back in the States, I can lite up a doobie, put the headphones on, fire up "Only God Knows" and instantly back to happier times. I'm so glad I lived through all the great music of the '60s and '70s. What a gift.

I had no idea the orchestration was quite that detailed. Like the entrance of the flutes. Amazingly subtle. At the beginning with the French Horn, Brian lacked the vocabulary to say he wanted the two notes legato, but he demonstrated what he was looking for and got it across. And, of course, he was right. This is frighteningly good work.

Brian didn’t have all the vocabulary he needed, like telling the French horn player he wanted more legato. But he’s right about every criticism. And 23? Insane. He was right to insist on those takes. This would be a classic on the vocal ending alone, and there’s so much more to it than that. I learned a lot from this video. Like I didn’t even know the flutes were there.

Brian is as meticulous about recording a track as Stanley Kubrick was directing scenes in his films. Both men used the very best performers and technical crew.

Well that story is always mentioned and is not quite accurate . He never said it was the best song ever in history, that is just plain wrong. He said it was one of his favorites. Here are his remarks : "It's a really, really great song---it's a big favorite of mine. I was asked recently to give my top ten favorite songs for a Japanese radio station...I didn't think long and hard on it, but I popped that ["God Only Knows"] on the top of my list. [Thinks for a moment] It's very deep. [Quotes the lyrics to "God Only Knows"] Very emotional, always a bit of a choker for me, that one. There are certain songs that just hit home with me, and they're the strangest collection of songs...but that is high on the list, I must say." That is a far cry from saying it;'s the best song ever in history. It's simply one of his favorites.

This is partly true. This music was never made again because it was Brian at his creative peak, trying to bring what he heard in his mind, to life. The studio process is special because you'll find things that you didn't plan on happening and that'll inspire something else and before you know it you have something even better than you'd first imagined. That's what I believe happened in these sessions, and because of that convergence of things it'll never happen again. There is still amazing music being made today, but you have to really look for it, which is sad. Check out an album called MCII by Mikal Cronin.

It still amazes me how one guy had all these parts in his head. Here is a guy that must have spent endless hours sitting at the piano and learning every note in a chord by ear. Not just 3 note voicings but 4 note voicings and at first applying this to vocal harmony then later to orchestration. He is not a schooled musician but with raw talent was able to do what few others could do which was to compose catchy melodic yet inventive commercial songs. Not many people can do that.

When Pet Sounds came out, I asked my sister (who bought it) how it was. She said, "eh, it's ok. No more surfing music though!" I left it alone for years. Then one day - years later- I wondered what all the fuss was about, so I listened to it all the way through. I was so deeply moved. It was ageless! It's an album to take with you throughout life because it never becomes dated. Songs like this seem to stand outside of time. Does it sound like it was made in 1966? 76?2016? None of them! If it came out today, it would knock people's socks off.

There are so many ways to enjoy this song. You can just soak in its glory. If you're into musicology, you can try to figure out what key it's actually in.

It's magnificent and for me, anyway, the most beautiful pop song that's ever been written.
