[Drumbo]

Sidenote: Written by Brian Wilson and Tony Asher for the Pet Sounds album, this is far and away my personal favorite Beach Boy accomplishment. In Asher's own words, "The general tenor of the lyrics was always Brian's, and the actual choice of words was usually mine. I was really just his interpreter." Asher helped Brian make a clean break from the by-then-famous and clichéd "surf music" (associated with surfing, cars and adolescent love) and not wanting to collaborate with any of the songwriters with whom he had previously worked, Brian called Asher in London. He was working as an advertising copywriter and Brian barely knew him in early January 1966, but within ten days they had started to write what would eventually become the Beach Boys' most influential album. While Asher downplays his role, he was instrumental in helping Brian find a new direction and instilled confidence in a tortured soul.

In one of the most melodically complex and orchestral rich compositions in Pop music history, Brian produced a masterpiece that is as fresh and inspiring now, as it was then. Mojo magazine ranks it as the 13th greatest song of all time. Pitchfork Media named it the best song of the 1960s and it is ranked 25th on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest songs of all time. High praise indeed, although when it was released on July 11, 1966 as a single it only reached #39 on the US charts. In Europe however, it was a great success scoring #2 in the UK, #2 in Australia, #3 in Ireland, #4 in Holland and Belgium, #6 in Norway, and #22 in Germany.

The song was a huge risk and Brian agonized over it by all accounts. Mentioning God, much less in the title was just not done in his words, "outside of Kate Smith doing God Bless America". According to Tony Asher, "No one had done it, and Brian didn't want to be the first person to try it. He said, 'We'll just never get any air play.' Isn't it amazing that we thought that? But it worked, and 'God Only Knows' is, to me, one of the great songs of our time. I mean the great songs. Not because I wrote the lyrics, but because it is an amazing piece of music that we were able to write a very compelling lyric to. It's the simplicity — the inference that 'I am who I am because of you' — that makes it very personal and tender."

Wilson explained that although he feared putting the word 'God' in the title of the song, he eventually agreed to keep it. He said that he agreed firstly, "because God was a spiritual word", and secondly, because The Beach Boys would "be breaking ground."

Carl Wilson later described how lucky he felt being given the opportunity to sing "God Only Knows": "I was honored to be able to sing that one. It is so beautifully written, it sings itself. Brian said something like, 'Don't do anything with it. Just sing it real straight. No effort. Take in a breath. Let it go real easy.' I was really grateful to be the one to sing that song. I felt extremely lucky." Brian had originally planned to sing the lead himself, but after more agonizing, he made a sacrifice and had Carl sing it. The only other voices on the track are Brian and Bruce Johnston who replaced Glenn Campbell as a Beach Boy. He explains that, "Brian really worked a lot on 'God Only Knows', and at one point, he had all the Beach Boys, Terry Melcher and two of the Rovell sisters [Brian's wife Marilyn and her sister Diane] on it. It just got so overloaded; it was nuts. So he was smart enough to peel it all back, and he held voices back to the bridge, me at the top end, Carl in the middle and Brian on the bottom. At that point, Brian's right move was to get subtler. He had a very tender track here. 'God Only Knows' is a very small masterpiece with a major heartbeat, and he was right to peel everybody back and wind up with the three parts. In fact, it's probably the only well-known Beach Boys track that has just three voices on it."

Paul McCartney has expressed on a number of occasions his love for the song. In an interview with David Leaf in 1990 he stated, "It's a really, really great song — it's a big favorite of mine." When asked to name his 10 favorite songs for a Japanese radio interview Sir Paul says, "I didn't think long and hard on it but I popped that on the top of my list. It's very deep. Very emotional, always a bit of a choker for me, that one. There are certain songs that just hit home with me, and they're the strangest collection of songs ... but that is high on the list, I must say ... God Only Knows' ' lyrics are great. Those do it to me every time."

Speaking on a special Radio 1 show to mark the British station's 40th anniversary, McCartney said "'God Only Knows' is one of the few songs that reduces me to tears every time I hear it. It's really just a love song, but it's brilliantly done. It shows the genius of Brian. I've actually performed it with him and I'm afraid to say that during the sound check I broke down. It was just too much to stand there singing this song that does my head in and to stand there singing it with Brian."

In October 2006 during Brian Wilson's induction into the UK Music Hall of Fame, U2 front man Bono said that, "the string arrangement on 'God Only Knows' is fact and proof of angels". American composer, Jimmy Webb, has also stated his love for the song, stating, "I love 'God Only Knows' and its bow to the baroque that goes all the way back to 1740 and J.S. Bach. It represents the whole tradition of liturgical music that I feel is a spiritual part of Brian's music. And Carl's singing is pretty much at its pinnacle — as good as it ever got." Indeed, the opening French horn motif bears a very close relationship to a motif, also stated by French horns, in Act II Scene 2, the "Hagen" (itself a variation of the "nature" motif) of Richard Wagner's Die Götterdämmerung (Twilight of the Gods).

So much could be said about this song, and so much has been ... so lets just listen. Here's the original to be followed by a very different interpretation by David Bowie who expresses his admiration as only he can.

Thanks...she really needs prayers. The one thing I am hoping will happen, is they will finally and definitively figure out why she is having so hard a time breathing, and FIX IT!!.
