Title: God Only Knows (Brian solo music video) Post by: Rocky Raccoon on November 25, 2014, 04:10:30 PM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCYw3HrtXAQ
Found this while browsing the Youtubes, looks like it was only put up a few days ago. Some footage of Brian recording his vocal track for his solo version of God Only Knows in the studio. Title: Re: God Only Knows (Brian solo music video) Post by: Lee Marshall on November 25, 2014, 04:32:52 PM That was excellent. The shirt though!!! :-[ At any rate what I admire and love about that is the fact that Brian and HIS crew can reproduce THAT level of performance live on stage. The other gang? Maybe not quite to as lofty a plateau. [that was pretty nicely said wasn't it?]
Since the post Landy comeback Brian's voice has continued to get stronger and truer to the notes. There are still certain things he should step aside and let someone else sing [as he did with the Beach Boys every inch of the way] but by and large...the guy just amazes me endlessly. I have LONG thought, and it has never been confirmed in any way shape or form, that a MAIN reason why Brian stopped touring and didn't want to perform with the Beach Boys all those decades ago was because they [and the backing musicians] couldn't deliver the level of performace Brian could [with musical assiastance] in the studio. I just kind of saw Brian thinking to himself that if his creations couldn't be performed the way he heard them and wanted them done that he wasn't going to participate. Maybe I'm dead wrong...but now that his music is being presented and performed that specific way he's there like a dirty shirt. [there's that shirt thing again] Anyway...thanks for the video. Well worth the listen. REALLY well done.

what a 'ripper' version from Bri! This needs a release somewhere..... somehow!! someway!! Killer cover of one of his own great tunes.... Brian Wilson is still the man...... is this new? or is this from the 'what love can do' period???...... what is the Go with this clip and song?

It truly is a wonderful mix!
Title: Re: God Only Knows (Brian solo music video) Post by: The LEGENDARY OSD on November 25, 2014, 05:34:36 PM This is overwhelming! To imagine him doing all kinds of justice to his song is none other than truly heartwarming while giving shivers at the same time. Any recording date here? Does it come on the heels of The Voice performance? Thank you, Rocky!! :thumbsup
Title: Re: God Only Knows (Brian solo music video) Post by: Rocky Raccoon on November 25, 2014, 05:53:12 PM It's from 2007, from a compilation called What Love Can Do produced by the late great Phil Ramone. Brian also recorded the title song for the album which he co-wrote with Burt Bacharach. It's one of his best latter day songs if you've never heard it. There's a video for that one too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8A_J4KSvRg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8A_J4KSvRg)
You can download both songs from iTunes here. https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/what-love-can-do-god-only/id331220449 Title: Re: God Only Knows (Brian solo music video) Post by: Pretty Funky on November 25, 2014, 06:17:28 PM Ha. I mentioned this last week under the 'The Voice' thread just in case I was an idiot and had missed it from 2007. I guess I now have my answer. :lol
As I also said, the high profile of late makes a perfect marketing opportunity. Oh....Just remembered that 'Big Love' first aired in 06 so the original was getting weekly plays on TV at the time.

God bless Brian Wilson. Title: Post by: zachrwolfe on November 25, 2014, 08:58:16 PM
Title: Re: God Only Knows (Brian solo music video) Post by: Micha on November 25, 2014, 09:49:17 PM Good and heartfelt vocal by Brian - but this BBC version found at the side of it baffled me more, both by the visuals and the sheer amount of people on there:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIeWWgmLbY4 While I can only identify the older artists on there, most youngshters with no Beach Boys knowledge will probably think "Who's that autotuned old guy at the end?" Brian's vocal on the solo version this thread is originally about is much better. Still, this version gives the big respect to Brian's great composition it deserves. Even if there are some things in it I don't like that much, so much effort was put into this, what you wouldn't do if the song wasn't so great. When was this one made?
