- Who doesn't wanna write music like Brian Wilson? Well certainly John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr of the Beatles certainly wanted to. Brian Wilson's writing with The Beach Boys is truly singular in the 20th century. Influencing everyone from Eric Carmen and Raspberries, the Ramons and the punk explosion and later to the explosion of baroque influenced of the Chamber Pop of the 2000s pioneered by people like Andrew Bird and Feist. In this video we go over in depth the song "God Only Knows", if you've ever wanted an in depth analysis of how Brian Wilson does what he does, this is the video for you.

Yes please
You should play the sections you’re commenting on! Would make this much easier to comprehend for noobs like me (as it stands, I’d almost rather just read your words so I can listen to the section at the same time). I am all for a second or third part! It would be fantastic to finally see somebody do a song-by-song analysis of SMiLE, especially focusing on how the different songs and modules interconnect like a 3-dimensional sonic jigsaw puzzle lol. Bonus points to discuss the songs in order of when they were written/recorded so we can get a better idea of Brian’s musical trajectory during that period.
I would love to see more in this series!!!!
Definitely in the works! Thank you for watching!
Possibly the greatest song of all time. Certainly one of the most moving. Makes me cry, every listen.
You have done a great job with this video and it is super understandable for everyone! Good job, mate. Bloody love this track and you have given me a further appreciation for it.
Thanks for the video! I just want to say thank you Naete for your amazing content. I’m pretty young and have been a Beach Boys and Brian Wilson fan for a while and ever since I saw your Smile video I have watched most(if not all)of your videos and they are what got me listening to classical music and have sparked my interest in learning music theory(something that I have previously abhorred)and learn how to compose music myself, in fact I have recently started work on my own music more, and soon I’m planning to actually release it, and I probably wouldn’t have ever done any of that if it wasn’t for you, so thanks for all the amazing content and keep up the good work!
This comment means so much to me. I pray for the highest success in all your endeavors and am glad beyond belief this channel played a part in it
Been waiting for this one! great job!
A recording of Sruf’s up (1967 smile version) would be legendary!.
I love your channel. You do a great job. Here is a suggestion of an artist you could talked about : Elliott Smith
Wonderful. I would enjoy hearing your take on the BBs "Shortenin' Bread". (The good unreleased version from the Adult/Child album)
The one and only
First, thanks for all your Beach Boys coverage. One correction: @ 4:30 in, where you’re working with the horn call & bass line in bars 2 & 3, the French horn notes should be named in concert pitch [E, B & A, respectively] rather than in the up-a-5th transpositions found in the “score”.
Very helpful
Glad it helped further your understanding!!
@@NAETEMUSIC I like surfer girl
What made you decide to notate the song in E major rather than A? The B major feels more like a secondary dominant to me, the F#m more of a sixth, etc. Though at the end, when those “god only knows what I’d be…” counter melodies alternate between D and D#, the D does sound like a flat 7.
1. The official score is notated in the key of E but more importantly
2. Its quite clear to the ear that the opening stanza is in E, but as I mentioned in thee video your ears are deceived quite a bit throughout the piece because of the use of inversions
Don't forget Sondheim, Bacharach, Lloyd-Webber, etc.

Til I die?
very interesting analysis SPOILED for me by the headache inducing spinning background - so unnecessary and distracting, what a pity.
