I know Brian Wilson was an amazing songwriter, but after listening to this analysis, I am completely floored by the genius demonstrated in this song.
[Strong Songs] "God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys #strongSongs

@voltronic God Only Knows is a masterpiece.
@voltronic For about 3 years in the 1960s Brian Wilson wrote the most innovative and beautiful music ever.
Then he sank into a drug-fuelled depression.
Smile,which I saw him perform in 2005, would have been THE modern American music album if it had been completed as
originally recorded.

@voltronic thank you going to give me something to listen to while I go putter in the tool trailer.
@voltronic and you must listen to the following episode where he breaks down Miles Davis around the first of April.
@FireMonkey
The So What episode is the one I was planning on listening to next. 👍
@voltronic just listen to the first 10 minutes of the Miles Davis one from April 1st
^ Seriously, people. If you want a lesson in just how skillfully a song can be written, you need to listen to this.
