I remember hearing this at the beginning of the game and thinking, “man what a beautiful rendition.” Then it plays again at the end credits and you realize what this song truly means to the story of this game, it makes me cry every time.
I sang an a capella version of this song at my mother’s celebration of life because she always loved The Beach Boys, and always wanted to go to the ocean. And, when we gave her ashes to the ocean, it was perfect. I know she appreciates it
This arrangement had no business being so good. It caught me off guard when I first played the game and now it touches me more than the original from Pet Sounds. All due respect to Brian Wilson but I like the stripped-down sound
You might like Barbershop, I suggest finding channels like Spaguy62 for old time barbershop, Talkin'Shop for 80's to 2000's quartets and the Barbershop Harmony Society for modern and old performances.
This is the only version of this song that my brain allows me. I have tried to listen the beach boys version, but its hard when this is the melody that comes to mind. I cant thank Bioshock enough for this one ♡
If you haven't cried listening to this song at least once, you either gotta play the original campaign again, or you gotta read an in-depth summary. I KNOW Y'ALL KNOW!!!
@@warningpage8032 if you've played the game songbird is a major antagonist in the game this song is from (Bioshock Infinite), but it's revealed close to the end that he's trying to protect one of the main characters because he was effectively biologically bonded to her (it's weirdly complicated in game) and ends up dying trying to protect her.
@@HyenaFox I never really truly appreciated video game narratives until just recently, but hearing this song, and remembering bits and pieces of infinite? It's heartbreaking all around. Booker to Elizabeth Elizabeth to Booker Songbird to Elizabeth. God, I've really gotta play this one again with a fresh perspective.
Bro this song, I knew when I heard it, that this game, or more like franchise, was truly one of a kind, something I’ve always thought about is how probable it is that one of the many red shirts who are slaughtered in the battle between Columbia, the Vox, and Booker and Elizabeth could have been a member of this quartet, maybe even all of them are dead by game end, it really made me reflect on the games message and how beliefs like that of comstocks can cause so much collateral damage
I may not always love you But long as there are stars above you You never need to doubt it I'll make you so sure about it God only knows what I'd be without you If you should ever leave me Though life would still go on believe me The world could show nothing to me So what good would living do me God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you If you should ever leave me Well life would still go on believe me The world could show nothing to me So what good would living do me God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows God only knows what I'd be without you
Does anybody imagine how could be only this game if Kevin Levine would made it as he wanted? stages, script and expansions... If bioshock returns this generation without his mind It reaaally wont be the same...
+Gabriel Cabral It makes sense. I however, interpreted it to be between Booker and Elizabeth. Because Elizabeth's existence was drastically changed by Booker busting her out of that tower. And also, the part of the song where it says, "And if you should ever leave me, though life would still go on, believe me, the world could show nothing too me. So what good would living do me." I feel that its towards Booker because after he gave away Liz, he kinda fell into that sort of 'depression/regret'. BUT IDK...I'm ranting now...
It's about Booker going so crazy without his daughter that he becomes a firebrand conservative cult leader who hired crackpot scientists to tear the fabric of spacetime apart and drive himself crazy just to get her back.
@spuriouslathos2518 not quite, the Booker DeWitt that became Comstock never had children and never gave away his daughter. He was made infertile by the Lutece's machine, so he went to Booker's universe and stole his daughter so he'd have an heir.
Everytime I replay the game I sit and watch the entire time they sing! Cannot get enough of this version of the song
Same!
Same. Sang a one person a capella version of this for my mom’s celebration of life service. Difficult but perfect
Same
Who didn't?!
They are Columbia’s Gayest Quartet after all.

And this song makes even more sense after playing the 2-parts DLC, still get shivers and tears to this day hearing this🥹
@@mikaelchartrand9342 i havent played in years but how is the ending I heard it was weird but beautiful i
Finally a version without a shitty intro tagged into it. Thank you.

If you like this give the original in Acapella a listen, it's on RUclips and I think I like it better than the original

@@OmnipotentApplle in quad stereo too, if I'm not mistaken. Nothing quite like hearing Pet Sounds stripped down and bouncing around
i literally turned the volume on my tv up and turned all other sounds of and got the best point in game to hear it love this song
Same
At the beginning: Oh, this song is pretty cool
At ending credits: What have I played? Could a videogame truly reach this level?
I had to replay it 3x to fully understand the story and I STILL have to play the DLC 💀
This song hits so different in the end

BIOSHOCK INFINITE LIVE FOREVER ;)
I agree.
still after 8 years

God Only Knows what I'd be without this music and the game
God only knows what I'd be without Bioshock.
Paul McCartney has said that the Beach Boys version of "God Only Knows" is the greatest song ever written.
Made sure i listened to this again during my new campaign today! Always gold!
So many memories...
I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I'd be without you
If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
If you should ever leave me
Well life would still go on believe me

So what good would living do me

this song is good
Very cool!
7 years and this comment only had 7 likes?! How the hell is that possible?
It was truly beautiful arriving in Columbia.
Im addicted to this version
I practically cry
This game have beautiful songs
this better play in my afterlife
I imagine them singing this song as Columbia is in flames as their last performance. Like in the movie The Titanic
Sería genial pero muy deprimente ver una bella ciudad como Colombia en llamas mientras canta por última vez 😢😢😢
Often i be w this playin on my head randonly
Oh god I love this. >w<
comfort
end of 2023 and Im still listening this masterpiece
Who are the vocalists?.. who are these amazing voices
get out of my head get out of my head
get out of my head get out of my head
for me, it's a song about elisabeth and the songbird (or big daddy and little sister). Make sense, right? haha :3

Based.
It's like a cover, but reversed

Wondering if you can apply this application of the wheel booster to an ebike
God only knows
Great ending.
God didn't know about this one dislike..wtf ?! xD
It's two now... probably the same person on another account...
@@gaiusjuliuscaesar9296 I bet that person voted for Trump.
Oh yeah
My first playthrough, the moment I heard this song, I knew something was wrong.
Yeah, last time I checked, The Beach Boys weren’t a barber shop quartet from 1912. Definitely a bit shifty.
I like the beach boys version haha
dope
Might be an unpopular opinion. I kind of like this version of God Only Knows more than the Beach Boys version.
Anyone has the lyrics ?
Thank you, kind sir
dude, i cant beleive that people are still around to appreciate this wonderful song. if yall like this song, dont like this comment
What kind of music is this? I mean the gender
Acapella?
@@norikofu509 It's similar but I'd call Barbershop Quartet a sub-genre of Acapella. Possibly even it's progenitor.
@@JaelinBezel _a cappella_ means "like chapel" as in choir music. Voices harmonizing without instruments is much, much older than barbershop.
@@Mr_Wallet thank god, someone reasonable
Woman
Better than the Beach Boys. Change my mind.
