I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't get this song - which captures the beauty and insanity of a mind that can't _not_ be musical, a mind epitomized by the legendary Brian Wilson's. I love this song so much and would give it ten thumbs up if I could.
My friends and I were playing guitars in the park, and a man came over, and asked to see the guitar, we were a little wary of him because we obviously didn't want him to take off with it. He sat down in the middle of a group of high schoolers and sang the most beautiful version of this song I have ever heard...amazing. So chilling and almost somber...but beautiful.

I've been running an experiment for years with this song. When I go into a bar where you can control the jukebox, I play this one every time - and this is (by my VERY scientific research) the most universally loved song by everyone. Almost all the patrons know the words, they're singing or dancing along - it never fails
i am a brother from jamaica .. this song just does something for me love the tempo. just really love this song..it's so true they need that signiture leading voice back..
Agreed.....Stephen Page was the voice of the boys, for sure. When Ed "took over" he was good.......but Page had that "signature" voice. You coined it correctly!
Steven Page did a tour with a symphony earlier this year, and I was the photographer for one of the shows. They did a sound check and played this, and I was the only person in the room (besides the musicians and the sound guy)... I was in absolute awe. I love this song!

I love how the clothing of the band members and even the lyrics “just to check out the late night record shop” date this song. It’s so fantastically 90’s. What a wonderful time that was, and I’m sadly afraid that we’ll never get back to that place again.
I still remember going to watch these guys play at Bumpershoot in Seattle, WA way back in '93 before anybody even knew who they were. They blew away the entire audience and wailed out every song, especially this one, my favorite. They even upstaged The Violent Femmes. I can still remember their amazing breakdance routine at the end of the show. Man, this band rocked and STILL rocks!
Just saw Brian Wilson in concert last week with an 11-member band. I thought it would be good ... it was absolutely fantastic! They did a SEVEN-song encore after a full show with no intermission. Great to see one of the best overcome his issues and get back our there again.
+scottutube1 I'm going to see him in the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall in May and am going to the pre-show meet and greet. It will be an honour to meet the great man, and his band which includes Al Jardine. I can't wait!
Fun fact: Steve Page wrote this song as a teenager. He will sometimes tell the story when performing live. It’s not just a fun tribute to Brian Wilson, it’s a song about mental health. Page (and the whole band really) are on another level when it comes to musical melodies and story telling. If you get the chance, see him live. And the Bare Naked Ladies. Not sure if we would ever get a reunion tour, but if so, it would be a dream come true for the fans.
Page's split (2009) from Barenaked Ladies was prompted by his bandmates. He had been arrested for cocaine possession. Plus there were rumours about other serious inappropriate behaviour. There is zero chance of a reunion. He did perform with them in 2018 to receive an award at the Junos. It is very unfortunate cuz he was an important member of the band.
Guys, come on: let Steven back in the band. One of my favorite memories was seeing you guys in concert at Hershey, PA promoting "Everything to Everyone." It's just not the same without him. I know he messed up, but hasn't enough time passed?
This song is the all-time best showcase of Steven Paige's voice and all he can do with it. He is great with delivering lyrics with just the right touch.

A gospel is an account describing the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. I don't think this song has ANYthing to do with that. So I wouldn't call it a Gospel song.
MrThetronica - Next time you're cruising wikipedia, check out 'gospel music'. 'Gospel music usually has dominant vocals (often with strong use of harmony) with Christian lyrics.' Sounds like a gospel song to me.
I was a sophomore in college. Innocent as I have ever been. We were all starting to get wrapped up in drugs. Anyway, my best friend C.H. posted this song on his Facebook with the simple message, "Good Bye". I ran to his apartment as fast as I could, and had to kick in the door. He was laying on the ground overdosed, near death. We threw him in the bed of a pickup and drove him to the ER. He survived that, but sadly, 8 years later, I no longer believe he is with us. RIP, you were an amazing dude.
I have heard of them, but never listened to not one of their songs, I’m in love 🥰 with so many. Nostalgic, poetic, romantic, funny. I’m definitely expanding my musical horizons. I’m officially addicted.
I agree the Bare Naked Ladies are an unjustly under-rated band. The instrumentals on this song are brilliant, and I've always loved their ferocious lyrics.
I've seen these guys 3 times live in concert. Their music still brings me back to when I was a teenager. Powerful songs and powerful lyrics combined with a haunting voice. I will never grow old of BNL , specifically Gordon.

I remember seeing these guys, when "if I had a million dollars" just came out,it was in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan,at an outdoor concert, I think it was around 1993, they were just AWESOME, I wish Steven Page would re-join the group. I think this is their BEST song ever!!!!
@@g9g9g9 Unless I am mistaken it has to do with an interview that was done in the mid 70's on the beach boys individually, Brian Wilson stayed in bed for the entire interview,when it was done he said "well I should get out of bed now,lol. but it could be about something else
@@injun65 i always thought it was a metaphor for depression, cause Brian had been in bed a lot for a few years. but then as the saying goes, sometimes a duck is just a duck
Genius song. How can anyone not like this song. If you know about Brian Wilson, this song hits the right tune, Lovely voice, and not related to me by the by.

Brian Wilson used to open his show with his own version of this song. It's Definitely Meant to be a Tribute to Him!

'Gospel music usually has dominant vocals (often with strong use of harmony) with Christian lyrics.' Sounds like a gospel song to me.
oshawaxpress how is this "Christian" lyrics?
If I could like this more than once... then I'd like it exactly 37 times.
This song is fantastic. Love the musical finish. They're a lot of fun live.
I was a sophomore in college. Innocent as I have ever been. We were all starting to get wrapped up in drugs. Anyway, my best friend C.H. posted this song on his Facebook with the simple message, "Good Bye".
I ran to his apartment as fast as I could, and had to kick in the door. He was laying on the ground overdosed, near death. We threw him in the bed of a pickup and drove him to the ER. He survived that, but sadly, 8 years later, I no longer believe he is with us.
RIP, you were an amazing dude.
I have heard of them, but never listened to not one of their songs, I’m in love 🥰 with so many. Nostalgic, poetic, romantic, funny. I’m definitely expanding my musical horizons. I’m officially addicted.
If you ever heard the theme song to the Big Banh Theory you have heard one of their songs.
I agree the Bare Naked Ladies are an unjustly under-rated band.
The instrumentals on this song are brilliant, and I've always loved their ferocious lyrics.
I've seen these guys 3 times live in concert. Their music still brings me back to when I was a teenager. Powerful songs and powerful lyrics combined with a haunting voice. I will never grow old of BNL , specifically Gordon.
One of my top 10 albums of ALL TIME
Legend has it, Canadians still dress like that to this very day.
Begins to argue...looks in mirror...closes mouth
Why don't you stop looking at the legends and see for yourself ? And is they do? So what.
Lol you're an idiot
Agreed
I mean ur not wrong..
wow, this has to be one of my favorite Barenaked Ladies songs ever! So beautiful!
Brian Wilson is a very talented singer and he has this magical voice and lyrics that I love💕 his songs will never be forgotten in this world🌎. Tell me since when I’ve you been listening to Brian songs?
The Harmony in this song is is beautiful! This and welcome to the old apartment are absolutely amazing!
This song never gets old for me. Why don't more people know BNL for this and not "One Week"?!?!?

I love these guys. I grew up listening to them in the 90s, my very first tape AND CD was Gordon. I got to see them live before they broke up - what a wonderful experience. Thank you for all the memories and great music!
Wish they still made songs like this today
They do you just have to look, npr tiny desk is a great place to start
I owned this album and I've never really listened to the flag. It just brought me to tears, beautiful song, I'm a grown man, I believe that happened one other time in my 44 years.
They put so much thought into all of their songs, its amazing.
I hope you all know who Brian Wilson is. He is alive and still a legend
"GOD ONLY KNOWS"...A LEGEND IN HIS OWN TIME👍
ABSOLUTLY!
I do not.....who is he?
HE IS THE GENIUS BEHIND THE BEACH BOYS 🎼
He sang "Warmth of the Sun" he had the voice of an angel, too bad he got so messed up with drugs
Blessings in an abundance of the faith. I salute you. 😘🙏 Grace and peace be unto you and to this place. Thank you. God bless you. 😊Will you believe and receive Jesus Christ as your LORD and personal saviour??? I do. 😊
Song is the best. And so’s Brian Wilson- an icon and absolute genius !! I love the min in of the “surf sound” to get the vibe up.

Hello how are you doing
I just feel good when I hear this song! It's just got everything. Intelligent lyrics with humor and a good beat! OMG love the retro bass/
What a great tribute to Brian Wilson; makes me happy to know some band made a song in his honor
There's some great fretless bass playing on this track. And I love the typical early 90s "dry" mix where you can actually hear the bass!!

The mid to late 90's, in my opinion, were the best songs ever in a generation. That's a lot to say from a guy who lived thru the 80's. BNL, Tonic, Vertical Horizon, Third Eye Blind, Dave Matthews...
Dave Matthews & his band would play bars clubs; UVA area Richmond. I met him 2X 1990s. Nice guy, low key.
It was extremely underrated. Not sure I can put it up with the early 80s but it’s really high quality era
Such crazy dude and such a creative song, musical genius’ and a lot of fun to play…
one of the first albums i ever bought. hearing it tonight brought me to tears.
I love this song and deeply empathise within it. It is one of my very favourite songs. 😊 Thank you!

One of my favorites of all time! Love every live version even! Love you Dave!!And thank you! Sincerely!
I liked this group when I was younger, but now I'm really impressed how creative and clean their lyrics are. Nice rhythm too
Same. They were my favorite band as a kid in the 90s, but I didn't truly appreciate their genius until I was well into adulthood.
Everyone always brings up Steven and Ed but the drummer is highly underrated
OMG you guys don't know what you done for me in life! First of all you did it for me and my twin sister! But she died this past summer she died unexpectedly August 2nd 2020 22. Carl I love you guys so much that we chased you down one time when you were at a meet-and-greet in Cleveland Ohio and you guys look so stressed out trying to get away from us to wasn't even funny but we both loved you so much we've loved you guys for so many years and now that she's gone. But when the old apartment comes on that was her mind's most favorite song I guess besides Brian Wilson LOL😊 but why we were listening to the old apartment we were beat each other up while listening to yourself LOL I miss her so much I just want to get into a big fight every time I hear your song ❤️❤️😊

"Lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did.....OOOOH YEAH! Drove downtown in the rain nine-thirty on a Tuesday just to check out the late night record shop".

One of those songs that make you unexplainable burst into long feel good tears. ❤
The way they melded the lyrics and music was sublime. I saw them 3/20/2001, the last show of their tour, in Albany NY. Hearing this song live was fantastic. They rocked!
It all ways struck me about these guys...on the surface so funny and off the wall..and then when you listened lose about what they were talking about....God it just killed ya
Some of the smartest stuff ever written......at first glance they appear goofy....then one listens to the lyrics and BAM.
@@nocheteipsum that nerdy looking jam at the end of this tune is the shit! They look like they're having a blast but it's also musically brilliant.
I concur
@@nocheteipsum The BNLs with Steve were very much like Brian Wilson's Beach Boys -- an image of fun fun fun, but very complex music and deep melancholy in many of their ballads.
What a blast playing this song, Such great Chord changes. Love it!
this version has soul and emotion passion and energy of a whole other uncomparable nature

Top guys.. loved them for so many years .. used to play them driving with the family 20 years ago and we still talk about it now ❤️❤️❤️
The live version of this song kicks up the magic like 11 levels.
My favorite song from the modern era. An incredible work.
It's O.K NOT TO BE O.K...HELP IS OUT THERE...NEVER GIVE UP..NEVER....GIVE UP...YOU ARE SPECIAL TO SOMEONE...AND GOD.

Start to finish "Gordon" is one of thee most innovative, fun and enjoyable albums of the last 30 years. Every song on it is a true work of art.
This video sums up the 90's.
**Profound statement about how this song relates to the era in which I grew up and how music hasn't been as good since.
i fricken love this song over pretty well 20 years later since been introduced to this song as a child
Thank you for this version; I almost always have to settle for the live version instead.
Top 5 Canadian bands, ever, period.
Brilliant!!! Saw them in concert in Detroit...unbelievable!!!

So many memories listening to these guys. Went to many concerts and every one was amazing. Their songs never gets old. Love them.

I had a friend who'd always pick this at karaoke night. He had a mental break years ago and is still on a dark path of substance abuse and self destruction. I come back to this song when I think of him. Hopefully one day he'll get out of bed, like Brian eventually did.
I hope your friend recovers. Love and Mercy to him.

Everything about this music video completely embraces what we think of the 90s
I remember seeing these guys, when "if I had a million dollars" just came out,it was in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan,at an outdoor concert, I think it was around 1993, they were just AWESOME, I wish Steven Page would re-join the group. I think this is their BEST song ever!!!!
I don't alway lie in bed
But when i do its just like Brian Wilson did
you lie like a rug
on the shoulders of john malchovitch
I didn't get this reference, still don't.
you and I both but sometimes you have to give it up for blatant reach
@@g9g9g9 Unless I am mistaken it has to do with an interview that was done in the mid 70's on the beach boys individually, Brian Wilson stayed in bed for the entire interview,when it was done he said "well I should get out of bed now,lol. but it could be about something else
@@injun65 i always thought it was a metaphor for depression, cause Brian had been in bed a lot for a few years. but then as the saying goes, sometimes a duck is just a duck
Genius song. How can anyone not like this song. If you know about Brian Wilson, this song hits the right tune, Lovely voice, and not related to me by the by.
On a BNL bender today. Definitely one of my favorites.
On a BNL bender, awesome band...great memories through their songs...
That's the best kind of bender.
thats what is great about these songs---how can you have a view---except ,,,how great this guy can write a song---a poetic journey------twisted and insane,but down to earth too !!!
