Love and Mercy - Brian Wilson

[@judyaiello7791]

My respect for this beautiful, gentle man, is immense. My heart breaks to know all the pain and abuse that he has suffered. The fact that he still perseveres, and continues to make such beautiful music is nothing short of amazing. How lucky the rest of us are, that he still wants to share his genius with the world. Brian, I am very happy that God chose to finally bring you the happiness and peace you deserve. What I wouldn't give to meet you just so I could give you a great, big, hug, and thank you personally for all that you have given so freely to everyone.

I was lucky enough to meet all 3 Wilsons. Carl 10 plus x's,Dennis 2x's. I got to meet Brian 5 years ago. He didn't say a word just smiled an took a pic w/ me. These days he seems to be more engaging. To think of all the joys he's given us over the years. All that while truly, he was so ill. God Bless Brian . Rest in peace Dennis an my friend Carl

Judy Aiello he’s a great guy. I said the dumbest thing when I met him. I said Brian, I bought your very first record. He threw his head back and laughed and said, did you really. I told him I would see him Friday at the House Of Blues. Amazingly I found out a secret of how to get in before anyone else and was inside for five minutes before anyone else. I stood right in front of the organ hoping I was in the right place. Sure enough he walked right over to the organ and looked at me and said hi. What a magical night it was. I’ll never forget it. He was rolling out his new album That Lucky Old Sun.

So very well said.

[@Mozart1220]

I would very much like to tell him that I had an abusive Father AND older brother, and Brian's Music saved me.

[@heliotrope3345]

I agree, Brian makes me cry with how wonderful he is.

[@Shepthebassman91]

I saw this tender hearted and sweet spirited man in concert in 2007 in my hometown! When the Pet Sounds masterpiece “God Only Knows” was played and sang, my heart, soul mind, and body were forever changed and i literally wept with tears of joy and sadness at the same time! This man is a timeless treasure and truly a genius in music! I shall never forget that night in my life! Thank you Brian for all you have given and you are such a wonderfully brilliant composer and artist! Your name and music will always and forever ring in our ears and hearts! Like your late great brother Dennis once said, “Brian Wilson IS the Beach Boys and we are the messengers!” It couldn’t have been said better by anyone else! Brian you have touched so many lives with your love and mercy! Long live Brian Wilson and his music both with and outside the legendary Beach Boys!

Musical genius. Period.

[@davidcopson5800]

I agree with you entirely. A Beautiful soul who wrote/writes beautiful music. Long live Brian.

God bless you, Brian Wilson! 🇺🇸

[@LadyJessM7]

So simple, so truthful. Sometimes angels visit this earth in the form of musicians. Brian Wilson is one of them. ❤❤❤

[@6leafdom]

wow....such a common and simple chord progression....yet he made the melody so unique....repect

[@stoneyardband]

thats exactly what i thought

[@princezzpuffypants6287]

Brian could cover Lean on Me and turn it into a thing of beauty (no offense to Bill Withers as a person, but that song is... 😬 )

[@Macca687]

One of the great songs,the lyrics are fairly simplistic and yet so clever.Once again Brian shows us that he is a great observer and the voices in his head are those of everyday people,Happy trails Mr Wilson and thank you for some of pop musics finest moments.

[@welles2002]

Fragile he may be, but a Genius no one can deny !!!!

[@bobsherunkle1]

I know he's had his ups and downs Well they say "Brian is back" But in my heart he's always been a-round. Finally saw him three years ago on the 50th anniversary tour. He has many people to thank for still being around to thrill us, but musically speaking none more than Darian Sahanaja and the Wondermints.

[@MarySmith-l8i]

Im actually crying watching this 😢😢❤

[@Linda-pw8gx]

Aw….. love Brian Wilson🎶🎼🎵🎤

[@novapup2001]

Simple message and brilliant composition from dear soul to us all.

[@davidseals352]

Brian is very happy and he has all he ever dreamed of these days. Still writing significant music. Love and mercy is living within him. Recently I met his best friend in high school before he formed The Beach Boys at Al Jardine’s Post Card From California. Brian loved football and that was the connection they had. He was a halfback, Al was a fullback and Brian was the quarterback. They had a very good team and made it to the state championships. He had some great stories about their school days as well as stories about their friendship today. BTW if you get a chance to catch Al’s show I highly recommend you don’t miss that opportunity, you’ll be glad you went. There’s really no need to worry about Brian because life is good for him and he is handling it well. One thing I have come to understand over the last 15 years is being Brian Wilson is not an easy thing. A lot of responsibility and effort goes along with the territory.

[@MarySmith-l8i]

I absolutely adore Brian Wilson 💯😢❤

[@heliotrope3345]

How beautiful!! To wish every soul love and mercy! What could be more wonderful?

love to hear beach boy music.

[@allenjones3130]

Jackie Evancho should record a cover version of this classic!

[@aurelienlabrot9065]

my favorite song

[@o8bit0hero]

No doubt

[@infact8601]

I got a version on video with a fourth verse I havent seen in any video on KZbin or elsewhere. I'm shy to upload it because of copyright violation or maybe because Brian doesnt want that fourth verse to be widely spread. I wait for possible reactions on this comment then we'll see.

[@bobcondon9602]

I can't believe that no one else asked you to share it. This and surf's up are 2 of my very favorite songs out of thousands. Brian's music made my life better. I spent a weekend listening to his catalog from start to finish. That was a wonderful journey.

[@infact8601]

Thank you for your answer. I appreciate it and think about uploading in the near future.

[@Mozart1220]

[@Geronimo_Jehoshaphat]

So much more pure and profound than that hypocrite John Lennon's passive aggressive secular humanist anthem "Imagine".

[@halloweenjack95]

Why not just appreciate both ?!

[@Lozh1993]

Couldnt agree more

[@luisleija]

Agree 100 I have never cared for Lennon

[@Mozart1220]

@@luisleija Why? Because he's a flawed human?

[@Mozart1220]

Oh stop it. Lennon meant what he said in Imagine. You try growing up like Lennon did. And what's wrong with saying IMAGINE no religion? Religion has been the cause of more pain and suffering in the world than anything else. It's making The USA a dangerous place.

[@ForeverMan91]

this is disturbing to see brian in this form but still a great melody

[@marckyle5895]

We all...degrade when we are abused. He has recovered darn well for what he was put through.

Grausam sie sollten das singen sofort beenden

I just wish he would play the keys
