Brian, you are LOVED by me and so many others. Thank you for all the great music for the 60 years of my life. I wish you peace for your remaining time on earth.
My husband just passed away and he use to sing this around the house to me all the time he was such a big fan of brian wilson. Thank you for giving me something to listen to for one of his memories. I play for him each and every day I visit the cemetery
How amazing that at 73 years of age, against such incredible life-experience odds, that he has outlived his two younger brother's, Dennis and Carl (may they both rest in peace), and still composes inspiring masterpieces. What a true testament to the enduring musical passion that he has bestowed on us! How fortunate are we all to continue enjoying and relishing every note, lyric, and meaning behind all of his songs! He absolutely is "meant for these times"!
God I love him so much it hurts. This song makes me cry every time I hear it. Listened to his music every day since I was 5. I wore out his first solo album after having listened to it 3 times a day every day from beginning to end. You're the closest thing to family I ever had. Thanks for everything!
I get tears, every time I hear this. I knew it would have to end, but i hoped, it never would. Summer is gone, The Boys of summer are gone.----------Thank-you Brian. For a lifetime of music. I grew up on your music, & it's been my life.------------WolfSky9, 74 y/o
My 8 month old daughter passed on the 5th of March this year from a heart defect. This song perfectly expresses all that I'm feeling. There's never enough time for the ones that you love.
Kevin, I am so very sorry at the passing of your 8 month old daughter. That must have been crushing. Life just starting...so damn unfair. My heart is heavy reading about her here. I bet the song resonates for you indeed. I know you will always hurt and miss her. I do hope the heaviness of heartbreak is a little lighter though. I wish you well.
I'm reading this on March 5th, 2021, exactly a year ago of your daughter's passing. It was about exactly a year ago today when my 5 month old grandson receive a new heart valve to keep him alive. My sympathies for your loss on this anniversary.
I heard this song, and burst into to tears. It's such an emotional song, coming from a man who's been through so much. Brian Wilson's music is simply the best of our time.
Yes, a man in so much pain has found peace and comfort in his music. Luckily for the world he shares his beautiful compositions with us. Pain turned into beauty, thank you Brian.
+MovieMaker484 it's really a good song, he still make beautiful music, I'm young, 19 years old but I love so much the beach boys, and his new album. those kind of song and beach boys song are amazing and that's what " real music " is.
Just stunning! A masterpiece! I listened to this ten times in a row but finally had to stop as I was crying my eyes out and I am a grown man! Brian Wilson is a gift from God! He is America's greatest songwriter!!
Love you Brian . You’ve been such an inspiration to me . I stated listening to The Beach Boys when I was 5 . I’m 49 now. You taught me to sing with the records my mom had as a teenager. I won UIL completions.in high school . I loved choir because of you your voice. I love you !
An emotionally powerful, heart wrenching masterpiece. Brian Wilson wrote the soundtrack to my youth and to that of so many others. This is a fitting coda to his album. There were times when no one believed that he would be the sole surviving Wilson brother. I hope he will continue writing beautiful music for many years to come. Brian, thanks. Really, thanks.
I lost my wife in April and celebrated our 40th anniversary in October without her for the first time. I listen to this song and others on the No Pier Pressure album every night in bed
OMG, I was in tears when I 1st heard this; what a way to end this album. As he always can, Brian touched me right in the heart . What a gorgeous way to say " thank-you" to all of us. THANK-YOU BRIAN--THANK-YOU SO MUCH!! --KUDOS to Paul von Mertens for this beautiful arrangement. Wolfsky9
I want to end this Friday with a heady but hopeful note. I heard a song today that struck a deep chord and stayed with me all day. I listen deeply to music, always trying to find something unexpected (The Fall) or moving (Beach Boys) or funny (Half Man Half Biscuit). I'm not a causal music fan. With that said, this incredibly sad, sad, sad song is also one of the most beautiful I've ever heard. We all interpret music in our own ways. We take what we like, what we need from songs. And we own them. Artists just make the music. But it belongs to the listener. This song took me back 5 years. To the death of my father. It's a goodbye message with an end chorus that floored me. And it made me cry and smile at the same time (on my way to work this morning). Any artist that can do that is a master of the craft in its purest form. My friends, meet Brian Wilson if you haven't already (for fullest effect, put on headphones).
I love you Brian. Thank you for helpng me through the most difficult times of my life. I've been your biggest fan since 1975. I'm super sensitive too..so I get you. I appreciate you. "In my roon" was my favorite as a teenager. You nailed that! And I still feel the connection with you my dear soul. Loves...Netti ....and NO, I'm not a stalker! I'm happily married but my sons do remember standing on my toes while we danced to Beach Boy music in our HUGE old fashioned kitchen! Great memories!!
I have to say, the music of No Pier Pressure is wholly better than anything he’s done prior. He has totally grown as a musician composer arranger and producer, far above all expectations from both critics and fans. And it shows in his music that he has moved on from the past and is now accepting of himself and of the gift that God has given him. That being said, I love his music in this album, it’s his best one to date, and I hope for more like this from him as he raises the bar for even better arrangements in the future. God Save Brian Wilson!
What a great album from a remarkable musician, I'm thankful to have lived my life at a time when Brian was making great music. Thanks Brian. RockinRonny
This is a fantastic love song. It could also be about him and his family The beach boys and how they are getting older now. He wishes he could sing forever.
Such a beautiful song. The most beautiful song I have ever heard. I am not brought to tears too easily, and this song brought me to tears. If this was the only song Brian ever gave us, it alone is great gift to the world. I love his music, and wish they had captured more videos of Brian putting his music together. It is so amazing to see him put it all together, and I truly believe it comes from the depths of his soul. I believe that Brians musical talent is a gift from God...and a gift to all of his listeners as well.
Brian Wilson is the man! Still making beautiful original music at his rich old age and not a single song cookie cut for bland modern audiences. This is proof real music can be made even today!
he will always a good singer and a good song writer. These songs are awesome and even at his age, Hes sounds good still. al and him both sound good in the songs that they sing together in
Greatest musical mind ever Brian Wilson is the best song writer to ever create music pet sounds, smile, now this greatest I hope he writes more people should stop listening to rap and hip hop and listen to him and anyone from the 60's-90's no rap at all.
Totally agree im just annoyed that im like the only teen in my whole school who likes this stuff or has even heard of it! Well, next year we are studying god only knows so I hope that will help people will get into the spirit!
When I hear this song, I have the blues... The blues of the last summer evenings on the US west coast. All the tourists are gone, some diehard still walk... they walk with their dogs, admiring the fog far ahead from Malibu. This is Brian Wilson, in love with his native California, who writes so much beautiful songs and ballads. Here's "The last song" from the album "No pier pressure". Brian Wilson... genius.
As Moving and Poignant a song as I've heard in a very long time. The Lyrics and music fit together absolutely perfectly. "Spiritual" is the best adjective I can come up with to describe this song.
When I hear THIS SONG I just cry. I wish my partner ( Bill Wilson ) of 27 years. Would be alive today so I can share this song with him. In my mind I would like to place my head on his chest. Our arms wrap around each other. Bill will say 'Thank you for the song,I Love you George. "Don't be sad, there was a time and place for what we had."
@@pooky1959 Thank you. Some day we will be together. Not now . Have to take care of our pets. Don't you just love Brian Wilson. I like him better as a solo artist.
@@georgehinojosa5059 , I like him both as a solo artist and a member of the BB. When you think of it though, he created Pet Sounds and Smile alone, so maybe you’re on to something!
What if this is indeed the last song Brian Wilson ever comes out with? Maybe that's why he called it "The Last Song", as a final goodbye to all of his fans that have stuck with him and appreciated his music despite all he's gone through. Do I hope he keeps making music? Of course, but if he doesn't, then this is a perfect way to end his career.
6 assholes can't really understand nothing. How can a human being put thumbs down to such a gorgeous masterpiece? Poor society. Brian, you're the best from the best. This is impossible to hear without crying. Really. "I'd whished I could have given you so much more"... No worry about, you've given ALL, pal.
*Mana. Big hugs... Mass love & respect Brian ! Its not often I'm ever pulled into an entire album (esp. in this era)....to FEEL basically every song equally & so immensely like I was with "Pier Pressure". I'd end up writing a few paragraphs attempting to express all I feel in my love & appreciation & words would still fail me so I'll just say Thank you ,once again Brian....for. everything. And I do mean....EVERYTHING. You are truly a gift & I am grateful . Hō'ihi !
Who knew this song was definitively a closure. Thank you Brian for 53 years of beautiful writing, sweet beautiful harmonies and arrangements.
Brian, you are LOVED by me and so many others. Thank you for all the great music for the 60 years of my life. I wish you peace for your remaining time on earth.
"Don't be sad, there was a time and place for what we had. "
My favourite ever lyric, absolutely heartbreaking.

Man oh Man! I am going to have this song played at my funeral.....Seriously. Brought tears to my eyes.......
Just lost my wife after over 40 years. This made me cry for the first time since she passed.
I lost my wife in April and celebrated our 40th anniversary in October without her for the first time. I listen to this song and others on the No Pier Pressure album every night in bed
@@denniscasnettie7164She celebrated with you!
the brighest star to ever shine in the history of rock music - musically he has no piers
I'm not sure if that was intentional, but good pun.
@@brianwalendy3735 Peer or Pier.....Brian brain Wilson has none!!!
Michelle Richter *peers
@@christinehudson7492 , but isn't a nice play on words?
Wilson was/ IS a musical genius!
Last song of his final lp. He knew what it did. Thanks Brian for everything...
Everytime I hear the part where Brian sings, If there was just another chance, for me to sing to you.... my eyes well up. God, I love him.
I sure hope Brian isn't done. I hope he gets back in the studio and gives us many more magical moments in song
This song made a grown man cry...
Two grown men.
68 now......I have followed these guys 4-ever......Time flies but genius is everlasting.
I lost my mom in January and this song really makes me think of her.

Many years later...but the earphones, AMAZING suggestion!
Beautiful! From an old guy from the 60's....
This is the best song of the album. The album is a puzzle, this is Brian.
No words. Only tears. Awe. Hope. Brian, thank you.
He has the ability to create such emotional music. He really is amazing.
Simply beautiful he has been through a lot in his life that’s what makes him human and what a lovely human being thank god ❤️
I hope someday I can hear this song complete with Lana's vocals.
this is on par with Summer's Gone for heartwrenching effect. But then the beauty of Brian Wilson was and is tapping into the soul.
awesomeness - his music is amazing, can listen to it all day
Just so powerfully moving when I listen to this song I think of my family and friends who are here no longer here, bittersweet but stunning
God bless you Brian. So many of your songs mean so much to me. Thank you my dear friend. :)

This is a fantastic love song. It could also be about him and his family The beach boys and how they are getting older now. He wishes he could sing forever.
This is one of those Very Rare Songs that is More Profound and Meaningful Every Time I Listen To It!
So sad.. Probably the Last Brian's song... CAN I START CRYING?????
