I used to think that I knew great music,... but... now I know there's This. This song levels me every time. I can't get through it without at least a tear or two, though usually it's many. I'm convinced it may be the best song ever written, and this performance is one of the best I've ever seen. Thank you, Brian. I hope your soul is blessed with so much joy.
I was on a TV show for 17 YEARS and I Hated being even a LITTLE famous I hated it BUT I also introduced bands all over and it was HARD for me to do because im really shy inside.I just did it to be a part of something and be with friends not the Hoopla BS
Brain gives us a little listen of what HEAVEN might sound like,,kinda like YES does too THIS sounds SOooo GREAT but its a bit overdone because it kinds loses the BAND and replaces it with Half of England lol
It’s funny, I heard the voice of god on this song but based on my misheard lyric. I thought it was “I’m bored of tidal waves…” and I thought what a heart-breaking and profound, earth shattering artistic expression in regard to both Brian Wilson’s life and of the Beach Boys’ back catalogue. Guess I’m reaching. This is modern classical to me.
60 years of being a Beach Boy fan and I think this his best. I have seen them over 10 times in concert. I saw their 2012 50th Anniversary at the Hollywood Bowl. One of the greatest groups of all time
The shadows of the trees and chain link fences stretch longer on the sidewalk in the Southern California autumn...The air is warm and dry, and blows on your arms. You can see street signs and buildings that haven't changed since 1967, and your mind is given permission to begin walking backwards to the edge of reality and you trust fall into a kodachrome vignette

His genuine smile at approximately 3:08 is so touching. This song brings him joy
Fendertomes imcredible!!😮
Imagine if he had this band in 1967 and not the Bum Boys
Im not sure it gets any better than this.
The greatest sound ever made

Just magnificent.
The centerpiece & masterpiece of Smile.
It is a wonderful thing to hear this from the older BW with so much in his heart and in his head in this moment of humble triumph.
Beautiful!

Other musicians told of his extraordinary talent! This is the man!
So beautiful..I love this so much..Im going to listen to it again..
I eMt to hear beach boys gospel, barbershop musisic
I don't think music today could surpass this. This is the max.
Brian’s greatest work.
❤Love this!❤I need say nothing more!
I love you Brian~!!♥
I wish Brian Wilson would talk about Barbershop Quartet music and the Beach Boys.
Gets me every time I hear it. The pinnacle of songwriting. A glimpse into Heaven.
Always a genius and at his very best here. Is it absurb to love someone whom you know only through his work? This piece is IT for me!

What magnificent music. To think Brian had this in him while others pressured him to keep writing pop beach tunes. Yikes
His smile
His sweet smile 😢
He smiles
A broken man too tough to cry
Beautiful genius
