The Beach Boys' masterpiece God Only Knows remade with the help of a few friends to celebrate the launch of BBC Music.
See who’s who in the video: bbc.in/1vUMGLp
Brian Wilson is the real star of this video
Brian Wilson is god himself
along with Brian May,Stevie Wonder ,Elton John.
Definitely
David Slaner Okay- but Brian Wilson is one of The Beach Boys, that’s what they were getting at
@@nievesofficial not only one of the beach boys, but the writer, producer, and singer in most if not all of their best work... god only knows is an example of that
Anyone gonna talk about the short but sweet Brian May solo and that ever lovely tone though

"Whenever I hear God Only Knows I think I don't want anything, I just want my Carl back, and there's nothing I can do and it hurts."

Please tell me he didn't said that, MY HEART
@@lamericana2903 I know, it's so sad. I wish Denny and Carl were still here to give Brian a hug.
@@ShaNaNa242 how sad... Brian's life has been so unfair and I can't even imagine how great it would be if that hug happened
Well what have you done without him a good life and moved on life or a bad one cuss you dont wanna move on

For the non-musicians amongst us; This song was written in 2 different keys, A Major and D major (Bass line) played at the same time. That is simply mind blowing considering that music is math. There are 12 steps (notes etc) to a key. To write at 24 notes "in your head" is simply unfathomable, yet Brian Wilson was able to "hear" this in his head and then transpose this into a song. Simply incredible! Say what you want, but this song transcribes our normal abilities as humans to put into a normal song's structure, yet he was able too. Enjoy greatness when you hear it people. THIS song is greatness.
Eddie Edmo I can not agree with you more. I have learnt how to play this on the piano. It is truly genius, the chord/Bass composition quality is rarely heard, while still being immediately gorgeous to the ear. To think he was only 24 when he wrote this.
Eddie Edmo if you haven't seen it I recommend the film Love and Mercy, shows Brian Wilson's amazing talent and all his struggles. Paul Dano and John Cusack (both playing BW) are INCREDIBLE.
Miles Cardis And he's also deaf in one ear. Wow.
Eddie Edmo you do realise a major and d major have one different note between them.... and there are 7 different pitches to a key, not 12, there are literally 12 pitches total in an octave, so 24 notes is a bit off-base
i mean not to discredit the work or anything, but it seems like you don't know what you're saying
Brian Wilson, absolute musical genius, god only knows what I'd do without the Beach Boys. ..
Just for those of you who dont know; that guy at 0:57 and 2:34 is Brian Wilson the man who wrote and produced the song, along with many of the Beach Boys' best hits like Good Vibrations.
Those 5 seconds that Brian Wilson sang at the end give me chills
Brian Wilson is a singular talent. Many in today's generation wouldn't know him, but for singers and songwriters, producers and arrangers, Brian Wilson is a freaking musical god. This video just makes me feel good. For my money, it's one of the very best love songs ever written.
RadOn548 shut up
@@colleenmahony8803 Brian Wilson is a musical genius but we mustn't forget Tony Asher who wrote the lyrics. Paul McCartney said it's 'the greatest' song ever written.
no sherlock, shit
What I really like about this production is the fact that each of the artists sang their line in their very distinct, unique singing voice and style.
Like shit you mean ?
Are they famous or something? (I mean apart from the obvious ones like Elton, Brian May or Stevie Wonder... I think I recognize the singer of Coldplay and the guy that sings the "happy" song)
How out of touch are you? Lol. From Brian Wilson and Chrissy Hines to Dave Grohl to One Direction. But love your confidence in your ignorance
yeah and this comparison only made Brian voice outperform everyone else.
I liked Lorde singing in cursive right after Elton John lol
This still never fails to bring a tear to my eye. Musicians, singers from every genre of music coming together in literal harmony to cover one of the greatest songs of all time with the legend himself, Brian Wilson.
I never used to like The Beach Boys when I was a kid. But as a musician myself, my dad (who’s favourite band is The Beach Boys) really opened my eyes to what musical geniuses they are. Especially Brian. He’s a visionary.
This is my absolute favourite commercial
Don,t have music like that any more and it makes me sad

People that came here and bashed artists featured in the video truly missed the point. At the very end, it says, "For the love of music." This whole thing, besides being a promotional stunt, was to show how artists from around the world and all different genres can connect to a single song. 'God Only Knows' is known widely as one of the greatest pieces in musical history, which is why artists from One Direction to Stevie Wonder to Lorde to Paloma Faith to Dave Grohl have such a respect for the song. Music is only of the few connectors left in society, it is not meant to divide. You have every right to dislike an artist's style or voice, but to discredit them and their fanbase completely is the opposite of the intent here.
This was the best written comment I have ever read on a video of any kind. You are a very well spoken person and this comment was really needed on this particular video. Wow that was an amazing comment.
+Allison Rataczak Why thank you 👋
+Ryan Florek thankyou! you've completely nailed the entire point of this video!
Preach
+JB P I think it's also cool how much the Beach Boys and the Beatles built off of each other. Like the Beatles made one of the greatest folk albums of all time, Rubber Soul, which inspired the Beach Boys to make one of the greatest pop albums of all time, Pet Sounds, which inspired the Beatles to make one of the greatest albums of all time, Revolver. If only Brian didn't have his issues with the band post-Pet Sounds, we would have been able to have 5 or so years of them battling each other for top spot.
It's amazing how they reached in together really different artists with different styles, from music history legends like Brian May, Elton John, Dave Grohl and Brian Wilson to New generation singers like Jake Bugg, the One Direction, Lorde and Sam Smith. Truly amazing.
yeah but wth was Dave doing there? lmao

What a beautiful cover. Congratulations to everybody and dear Brian....LIVE FOREVER AND EVER!!!
This is the best song of rock and pop, from history. Le´t´s, face it! Bryan Wilson, genius of our era! Even Paul McCartney said, how perfect this song is.
Surprised not to see Paul McCartney here considering it was his favourite song of all time and inspired him to write one of his very best "Here, there and everywhere"
He apparently finds this song so emotional that he has a hard time singing it. No joke
ElevatorMan5482 ElevExperiencing Productions Oh yes I did hear that too, shows the power of this great song
I think that's really cool, that someone with the songwriting resume of Paul McCartney finds himself emotionally overwhelmed by someone else's song. That's a powerful endorsement, if ever there was!
maybe he couldn't attend the making of the music video... I think that's a good reason!
ikr XD
The love of my life died a year ago. This was our anthem. God only knows how I'll cope without him. I loved this. He would have absolutely treasured it. Thank you.
I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you're doing well. Sending virtual hugs.
Touching tribute to your love, thanks for saying it so simply and eloquently. May you find peace.
R.I.P. I am sorry for you (don't press 'read more' if you don't really have to)
But comment section is not a place for saying things like this, it's for commenting the video cuz community doesn't give a f*** about you, sry 😐:)
sorry for ur loss 💗
How you’re still doing well and stay blessed 🙏
It’s 2023 and I still love this just as much as I did 8 years ago when it came out 🥲❤ I was 18 then and 26 now with two kids and another on the way, man it’s crazy how the time passes.
One of the greatest songs ever written in my opinion.
Especially loved Brian Wilson in this, considering he wrote it for Carl.💗
He didn't write it for Carl. He wrote it for his wife Marylin... He was originally going to sing it himself and there is actually outtakes on youtube of him singing tyhe lead. He just thought in the end that it suited Carl's voice better and so Carl sang the lead in the final version we all hear
Why am I only now discovering this??? I need to re-evaluate my life!!
Same here! (At least with the ‘discovering this’ part lol) Beautiful version! ❤️
I discovered it few hours ago so I am in a bigger problem hahahah
Omg me too now😂

SMUS16475 Exactly
SMUS16475 I stand corrected!
Such a beautiful song. RIP Carl and Denny Wilson
i remember hearing this for the first time years ago and loving it. i adore the original, and so i loved this version. i searched it up today for pure nostalgia’s sake and ended up repeating it and crying each time it played. there’s something so beautiful about it. the ending with brian wilson, his voice somewhat cracking, makes me feel so warm and peaceful. this really is one of the best covers of any song i’ve heard in quite a while
Brian Wilson was a genius while writing, producing & singed with the Beach Boys. So happy he was included in this compilation video. Everyone should own a copy of "Pet Sounds" by The Beach Boys...
It's my favorite album.
I'm so protective of my copy lol.
Watagak
True
it is loaded on my cell and I play it all the time. one of the greatest albums ever made
It's kind of funny reading through some of the comments on here. Some people referring to Brian Wilson as a genius, and a lot of other people thinking to themselves "who is that man sitting at the piano at the end of the song, and why are they calling him a genius? He hardly looks or sounds like one!". It's true that life hasn't been kind to Brian and he has suffered a lot of mental health issues over the years, but that is another story.
Brian Wilson was the leader of the The Beach Boys. In the 1960's, Brian composed, sang on, arranged and produced about 90% of their records. By the time the Beach Boys recorded God Only Knows for their Pet Sounds album in 1966, he had already produced about 8 other studio albums in the space of 3 years. By the time God Only Knows was originally released, Brian was only 23 years old!
Brian co wrote God Only Knows with Tony Asher. Brian composed the music and Asher provided the lyrics. Brian would then arrange for about 20 top session musicians to come to the recording studio so he could record the backing track. Apparently, Brian never had much in the way of written music to give to the musicians when they entered a recording session. He would literally sit down with each musician in turn and tell or show them exactly what he wanted them to play and they would write it down. In some cases, he may actually sing a part to a certain musician. Nothing was really worked out or written out before hand, the whole arrangement was in his head!
Once the backing track was recorded, he would then overdub the Beach Boys vocals. In the same way as before, the group would sit around the piano, and he would sing everybody their individual part. In the case of God Only Knows, he got his brother Carl to sing the lead. Brian's sings the fade out at the end along with Bruce Johnston.
Once everything is recorded, he would then mix everything down (usually in mono) to a master tape and submit it to Capitol Records for release. Basically, Brian Wilson is in total control of the whole process from start to finish with limited help from others, in charge of top musicians in the business and only 23 years old. These are just some of the reasons why he is highly regarded as a musical creative genius! What makes his efforts even more outstanding is the fact that he is almost completely deaf in his right ear! (another reason for mixing records in mono).
Thank you for giving the history behind this song and explaining the genius of Brian Wilson. It's a shame that there aren't more people like Brian around, but I think the reason is so we can appreciate what he's done for music. If everybody could do what he's done, it wouldn't be as special.
Brian Wilson! A musical genius...
But one direction tho...
The 2 most talented women in music... Chrissie and Paloma ❤ we are lucky to hear you sing
That Danielle de Niese has an incredible voice, but I just don't think it was right for this song. Her last few words were at about the right pitch. Eliza McCarthy used her voice perfectly, IMO.
makes me so happy they actually included Brian in this rendition :)
If they hadn't I would have bombed them out of this universe!
@Raven Cook: a genius AND a survivor; great to see and hear him.
God only knows what these musicians would be without Brian's revolutionary music
this has 14 million views. i sure wish those 14 million all owned PET SOUNDS or at least one beach boys album.
and yet they chose an American song, odd innit
I agree 💖
Having a genius like Carl Wilson at his side should never be overlooked, without Carl there was no band.
@@rongwynne3824 Fair enough. But only "genius" in the the Beach Boys was Brian Wilson.
Best thing about this video is that people recognize what good music is.
I watch this at least one a year since it first aired & it never ceases to awe & inspire.
not sure why this made me tear up
Me too.
Brian Wilson, 0:59, wrote it with all his heart and soul back in the day with wonderful chord changes and a beautiful melody. A great milestone in Pop music.
Every time. :)

Because it's very beautiful
I came here just to watch One Directions but but I didn't know what part they were in so I watched the whole thing and I'm in love with this. I love how BBC brought all these different, but extremely talented, artist to recreate this song. Truly beautiful and I think I'm going to have to listen to some of these artists' music if they sound this good on their own.
I still cannot stop watching this. And every time I get chills and tears well up in my eyes. So beautiful.
Paul McCartney called this song, "The most beautiful ever written!" I rest my case.

I love the fact that one direction sang my favourite part from this beautiful song and I am a huge beach boys fan so when I listen to 1D singing this song it makes me really happy :)
I don't understand how someone can listen to the greatness of The beach Boys then listen to One Direction. It literally makes no sense.
***** But to go from amazing music to "ID" just doesnt make sense. Unless it's a little girl.
+something.great Your favorite part? You mean "God only knows what I'll be without you"?? ...
+Ryan, Musiq I'm not a little girl, quit assuming things and yes I listen to a wide variety of music and different music genres, some things may not be your cup of tea but I don't just listen to one direction; if you can't understand how I can listen to something like the beach boys and one direction then you sir keep that to yourself because your comment was completely unnecessary.
+Ryan, Musiq Please stop being arrogant for goodness sake. People love and enjoy different things. People can think that One Direction are absolutely amazing and talented. Is it gonna kill you?

I love how each artist manages to put their style into one sentence
Sends shivers down my spine every time
Every time I watch this masterpiece of art I am deeply moved with tears swelling up. THIS piece fusing classical art and pop music plus delivering it in a modern yet baroque visually opulent directed style is a grand vision of what is possible when the most talented people before and behind the camera come together, not for profit but only for the love of music.
CHRIS MARTINS VOICE OMGGG
Instead of arguing about One Direction being there or for the song having the word "God" in it, let's just enjoy the fact that so many artists came together. They have their own voices, and they're all talented in some way. You don't get to see this kind of stuff very often, so let's just appreciate the work and enjoy the music.
i know right D: i mean, when did it become right to bash on artists? i honestly don't like one direction but i don't go around calling them faggots. plus if you hate an artist that much, just keep it to yourself, not comment it. i mean they have feelings too :(
@みさきめい I'm sure you would do the same. Let's also avoid assuming anything pessimistic.
Brian’s tone at the end…makes the spine tingle. Such a special sound.
I watch this often. An amazing, brave song. And in this version, so much joy.
1:45 DIRECTIONERS 😁😭
Absolutely beautiful seeing artists from across the decades come together for a rendition of what Paul McCartney called “the most beautiful song ever written.”
Harry and zayn gosh it’s been 7 years and i still can’t get over this epic moment
One of the most beautiful things here is Brian is clearly singing the song here with the way he goes for the high note (of course it's overdubbed with a studio recording), instead of just mouthing it as if he's singing perfectly without effort. Beautiful.
Chris Martin and Stevie Wonder, both have uniquely fantastic voices for this masterpiece. There were a few other standouts, but I guess I’m not in touch with the newer artists, cause I dont know their names
Stevie always nails it! One of my favorite musicians!
This cover is terrible Kistch. But Stevie would send this song to outerspace.
