Brian Wilson - Live 8 (part 1) "Our Prayer" (Live in Berlin - July 2nd, 2005)

You don't quiet a crowd of thousands without being one HELL of a composer and performer. Damn, that's amazing!

[@pmoyer50]

This is possibly the best song ever created which would be perfect to sing at a place of worship during prayer.

If they played this at church I would go

Here it is on a dreary Sunday afternoon in Trenton New Jersey and I happen-stanced upon this clip. It is the essence of beauty. Thank you Brian for stirring many great memories and for timeless hope. God only knows.

the sky is blue, it makes me cry

[@slimkickens]

Only God could create something so perfectly beautiful. But Brian Wilson created it. Brian Wilson is God. It's the only way 'our prayer' can possibly exist

[@hollyodell4012]

I dont think Brian is God, but I think hes probably a conduit through which otherworldly musical perfection is channeled. There have been composers like that through the centuries. They would hear the music and simply write it down. It was theirs but at the same time they describe it as coming to them, appearing. How lucky.

We are all one since the big bang. He seems to be more aware of it than most of us.

[@Broblem12]

Her smile as she is singing brought a tear to my eyes. Lovely!!!!

[@nicholas70paul]

Wow.. I love this piece of music.. I never feel its old or out of date, or get 'bored' of it, that's special.

[@sombra1111]

Time has no power over this song

[@colindominy]

Who was it who ever said that Brian didn't know what he was doing when he originally composed this astounding piece during the Smile Sessions ... Brian knew exactly what he was doing ...

[@colindominy]

Brian & his band opened with this wonderful tune at his Sydney Opera House Concert in 2006, I think it was. I was there .. & he brought the house down !!

[@chuckcmusic]

What a great piece of music. I can't imagine how he wrote this.

[@veritasuno3304]

Blessings Brian & Friends -- #SoMuchLOVE

[@GravityBoy72]

Beautiful.

[@iferraro]

sweet! thanks for posting this. I wish "ich bin ein Berliner"!

[@johng9393]

serious composition

[@clotildeodeye73]

did brian wilson sing the mike love bass part?

[@JaanusSaar]

He started doing that a long time ago, since his voice got deeper. Not sure about this one, though.

[@MichaelAnthonyPresents]

I dont think so, I can tell by his facial expressions and that the Mike Love part is on an O vowel and his jaw position is in an A vowel position. I think he may have sang the Baritone part or the part that I believe either Carl or Dennis sang, I could never tell how they stacked things, but I remember reading Carl sang above Mike even though Carl had a lighter voice than Dennis so, it'd be nice to find out how the harmonies were stacked.

[@HunterGathererDrone]

@BWJLGC he wrote this in 1966

[@josephloehr9617]

Brian.Wilson.Is. God!

[@MrBillinoregon]

Want it played upon my death.

[@Beeglemon]

ok, 3 things. one...listening to it...simple awesome. Second, oh what I wouldn't give to sing this...with the legend himself! And third, who IS that girl?!

[@warreneckels4945]

For some reason, this reminds me of "Ach, was soll ich sunder machen?" harmonized by Bach. There probably exists some 16th or 17th century German chorale that fits better.

[@arvelaizto]

[@hammerain93]

@BWJLGC He had some help from Ellis Dee
