Well let's hope that's the game plan...

Personally I wouldn't be surprised if October/November passes and we hear nothing about the album

For those of us who don't know who most of these nice people are, the BBC explains, with pictures and little bios:

Well, here's another nice mess you've gotten me into. (It became fine later on.)

"They played a handful of shows this summer gearing up for the release of Wilson’s new album, set for early December."

November... December... January... At least it will be released within the next few months. It would be nice though if the date was announced.

Wow. Great to see some of my "other" idols up there paying tribute to the big guy. Stevie still sounds great. Pharrell's phrasing was a little weird, but maybe will grow on me.

The last shot of BW is SO COOL.

Already 7,000+ likes on the video. That's viral status. What a cool & classy way to throw BW back into the mainstream.

That was terrific.

If you're on Facebook, Twitter, etc...post that and send it to a friend. Nothing in the world beats getting a few minutes of pure unexpected joy from a work of art such as this.

What struck me was the arrangement...Ethan Johns orchestrated it for the remake, but consider he rarely strayed from Brian's original arrangement, the unique musical vision of a guy 23 years old when he created that masterpiece.

It still resonates, it still inspires. It always will.

Thanks for posting.

Beautiful song. It's just so wonderful.  It sounds good no matter the year or who's singing it. It's timeless. There's a lot of love in that song and I can truly feel it.

Hi Bruce. Just want to say good luck singing 'God' next show. There's talk it could be a No1 hit soon. Me, Elton, Stevie and all the rest know you try your best every night. Did I mention it might be No1?

All the best buddy!

Those first couple views of  the video gave me chills/goosebumps pretty much the whole time.

What a great tribute to one of the greatest of his era!

Not that we think he needs any more, but this should definitely give BW some more cool points in the general public's eyes.

Here's to a number 1 single!!!

I don't think it's available to purchase anywhere yet. If it is they're making it really hard to find  Tongue

Great that Brian is back in the news for all the right reasons and God Only Knows has been given a platform... but I thought it was awful. You cannot improve on perfection, so why bother? And the fact that that crappy little group O*e D*******n are on it leaves me appalled.

Sorry...

I love it. What makes it great is having Brian in the video...I felt quite emotional seeing him sing the last line. Not many songs could be picked for this kinda thing.

Even with borderline functional hearing in the one working ear, that was hugely impressive (except for Jake Bugg). Points to ponder...

It was the song chosen...
No-one said no when asked to take part...
They managed to keep it under wraps for two years...
It will chart very high in the UK, maybe #1.

And finally, you don't have to listen to it or buy it if you don't like it. Or comment on it.

No one's mentioned the real reason this song was chosen by the BBC....

1. The BBC is a publicly funded broadcasting organisation - i.e. paid for from a form of taxation, and free of advertising on radio and TV (and online etc).

2. The UK has a general election in May 2015 after which it's quite possible that a Conservative government, keen to pare back public services, will make further severe cuts - including to the BBC.... if not privatising it. The Tories don't like the BBC.

3. Hence 'God only knows where I'd be without you'.

as for point #3, do you really think that the "subliminal message" will sway anyone's opinion? Really?

i love the BBC. I watched the first show in Brian Cox's new series last night. Superb TV.

And as for the general election, all 3 main parties will "lose" no matter who forms a government. All 3 parties are weak and this will allow extremist fools to gain ground. I find it hard to bring myself to vote for Cameron Clegg or Miliband, but there's no way i'm voting for any of the others.

In other news, it was wonderful switching over from Star Trek TNG during the advert break to the BBC News 24 channel and being surprised by GOK. Made my hair stand on end. Very touching.

Gotta start somewhere so reminding the world that you wrote "God Only Knows" with a little help from the BBC is a pretty smart way to do it. Potential #1 single in the UK that should get major play on tv and radio, a (so far) critically acclaimed biopic about to launch and a star studded solo album.  If ever a 72 year old Brian Wilson was going to get new music played on the radio, this would be the time!
