Ep. 276: A discussion on Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys “God Only Knows”

In this episode, Chris and Chris dive into Brian Wilson’s life leading up to the creation of The Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds and take a closer look at the beautiful and complex “God Only Knows.” Originally released as the B-side to “Wouldn’t It Be Nice,” the song wasn’t a major hit at the time, but has gone on to become one of the most revered and timeless tracks in pop music history. With Brian Wilson’s passing earlier this year, the conversation also reflects on his influence and the emotional weight this song continues to carry nearly six decades later.
