Just watched a documentary on the great Beach Boys album “Pet Sounds”.
Later they met the Beatles and they all listened to Pet Sounds together......after, John Lennon declared “God Only Knows” was “the perfect song”......I’d surely agree with that.
Caroline No it’s just one of many songs that few people I’ve ever heard, which are as poignant as anything the Beatles ever did. About 12 years ago Wilson put together some musicians together and performed a lot of the songs from Smiley smile. Heroes and villains, another Wilson song, is basically an ode to the old west. It tells the tale of a cowboy, who lived his life amongst the heroes and villains. His live version on YouTube is a masterpiece of musicianship.
