Possibly one of the best mastered pieces of music released. Listen to the layering of the vocals and the energy and pure romanticism put forth. Paul McCartney stated that Pet Sounds was a masterpiece that he and the other Beatles listened to often.
I never ever get sick of hearing this song. I love how it makes me feel. It's a masterpiece. I especiailly like the carnival sound effects. It takes me back to the simplicity of my childhood. Pet sounds still speaks to me.
This song takes me back to my freshman year at Trevor Browne High School in west Phoenix. The year was 1980 when I first discovered this as a 14-year old on KOOL 94.5 FM when they played real oldies. This song entered the Top 40 on August 20, 1966 when I turned 3 months of age.
Sin lugar a dudas, este álbum es la obra maestra de los Beach Boys, y uno de los más grandes albums de cualquier grupo de ese y todos los tiempos, creo que incluso Paul McCartney así lo ha expresado y reconocido. Genial!
The writer who said this album was overrated only needed to pull the youtube tapes of Paul McCartney and Beatle producer George Martin who said this album was directly responsible for inspiring the Beatle's Sgt Pepper and revolutionized how recordings and instrumentations would be made in the future. McCartney said the music on this album made him cry when he heard it and he calls "God Only Knows" his favorite pop music tune of all.
Chip Gaasche The thing I find really touching, as a COMPLETE fan of both...is when they meet each other, still... They both look like fans. I can't quite comprehend the genius of either of them...and then they're together and are both so humbled and thrilled. Make me glad to be alive, both of them.
I didn't appreciate Pet Sounds when I was young. I was into Led Zeppelin, Sabbath, Allman Bros etc. The Beach Boys was too pop music for me. Now that I'm older I can appreciate Brian Wilson, he was a genius
I can hear the rooms this was recorded in, the reverb in the walls, the true depth behind the sound, the grain of the wood which lines the floors. I don't know how this came out of one man's brain.
Timeless representation of what music can be at its highest level.I wasn't born in the generation of when this came out,but at this moment in this century I'm happily memorized by it.
Getting the chance to see this performed live by Brian Wilson is one of the greatest moments in my life. Pet Sounds is by far the greatest album to be released by any band, period.
This is a great song, and even though I was only a young kid at the time when it came out (1966), it really takes me back to those days. The song really captures the mid-60s era.
May 16, 1966, I was 14yrs 4mos age. I was so enthralled, taken in with the music I couldn't concentrate on anything else. I didn't realize the import of the technical aspects. Only the vivid imagery brought to me in the brightness, purity, happiness I felt when this was playing
Esse foi o melhor disco do The Beach Boys, e foi uma reação ao sucesso que estavam fazendo os grupos ingleses Beatles e Rolling Stones, o que mostra quantas maravilhas a competição que houve entre os grupos de música pop durante os anos 60 trouxe para nós. :)
One would have to emerge themselves in the time when Pet Sounds was put together as an orchestration in order to fully understand the Album. There was no CD or iPhone or Internet or Thumpin Bass high definition car stereo. Most people only owned an AM monaural radio, or a 45 monaural record player. Pet Sounds was one of the most elaborate orchestrations of music ever written, released to the public who would only hear bits of the album played through a tin can with a string (monaural AM). To say the album was ahead of its time is a complete understatement. Only today with the advancement in music listening devices can people appreciate what Brian, the Wrecking Crew and the Beach Boys vocals were to sound like as a Stereo orchestration. I find no one today who possess the talent to pull together such an orchestration, especially when one considers that the entire orchestration was assembled without the aid of today's digital technology and advanced recording techniques If you have never listened to the album .... Get a copy and prepare to be completely amazed... just as Lennon and McCartney were when they heard it in a London just after its release.....
You can hear a lot of inspiration on Sgt. Peppers from this song. That wall of sound is just great, and really fills the room. The authentic sound is instantly identifiable.
Paul McCartney has said many times that 'God Only Knows' from Pet Sounds is his favorite song of all time & he told everyone listening at RRHOF Induction of Brian Wilson that he is A Genius... high praise from another genius. Gotta love that. The Beatles & Beachboys completed in the 60s & admired each other & we all get the results - REAL MUSIC
We were visiting friends in Republic Missouri. We went to a discount store. I saw Pet Sounds the album and asked Mom if she would buy it for me. I was 12. She did and when I put it on our friends record player his Mom said that she didn't realize IT WAS THAT KIND OF MUSIC ! So I had to take it off and wait till I get home in my room in Dallas. Great memories.
I am 20 years old and this is one of the most amazing things i have ever found. In nowdays, I can't find something so pure. Just the lyric themes in Beach Boys' music are trove.
That's awesome, I was 10 when I discovered the beach boys, but I didn't discover this album until I was 23 in 1999, it really sticks with you over the years, pure is I good word:)
hey do you know anything about what i'm talking about??? i was just on a train when suddenly it seemed like i was 50 years old. there was also this guy with green hair going around and using his fishing hook on people. it was really weird
I'm in a long distance relationship (give or take - we see each other everyday, but it's hard to be romantically intimate in the environment we usually see each other) and it's often difficult for me to visit her, and this song is so beautiful and perfectly relatable. I love it.
Lyrics: Wouldn't it be nice if we were older Then we wouldn't have to wait so long And wouldn't it be nice to live together In the kind of world where we belong You know its gonna make it that much better When we can say goodnight and stay together Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up In the morning when the day is new And after having spent the day together Hold each other close the whole night through Happy times together we've been spending I wish that every kiss was never ending Wouldn't it be nice Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true Baby then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do We could be married And then wed be happy Wouldn't it be nice You know it seems the more we talk about it It only makes it worse to live without it But lets talk about it Wouldn't it be nice
@@denisnevsky3734 the Beatles album Revolver was released August 5, 1966, and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band/Release date was May 26, 1967 s so you are correct Dennis
Beach Boys needed trillion of musicians, producers and the entirei capitol building to do pet sounds, and betles, the four, with some strings quartet and et cetera made sgt. peppers
Best album ever! This is the album the made me fall in love with music and learn to write and compose spanning many genres but I’ll never be near as good as Brian Douglas Wilson! No one will!
This entire album is public domain because the original vinyl release lacked any copyright notice of any kind. The RIAA doesn't want people to know about that loophole in copyright law, but it's there if you bother to look it up. Pass it on.
Under US copyright law, all pre-1978 works are public domain if they lack proper notice. Therefore, any records which don't have it are public domain. Interestingly, the sound recordings are public domain but the underlying composition is not, so you can download and share to your heart's content and the RIAA can't do a thing to stop you. However, you'd still need to pay a licensing fee to whoever owns the sheet music if you wanted to use something in a film or whatever because sync rights are attached to the composition not the recording. Look it up if you don't believe me.
I see. Here ya go: www.discogs.com/The-Beach-Boys-Pet-Sounds/master/17217 Check the front and back of the vinyl sleeve. No notice. If it's too small to tell, do a google image search to find a bigger scan.
Brian said he smoked some dope and listened to Rubber Soul and was blown away - and that was his inspiration for pet sounds - to out do the beatles - and then beatles were likewise blown away by pet sounds. Bran said it was like being on an upward spiral - both trying to be better and better.
I saw an interview with Paul McCartney that really changed my view of him where he had some members of the Beach Boys had asked him questions how they made such a perfect album and he pointed back to the beach boys and said if it wasn't for Pet Sounds there would not have been Sgt. Peppers.

They always were my favorite band and still are. I never tire of their music. They were a huge part of my child hood.
The opening to this song might be my favourite opening of all time.
Robin Sutherland Totally agree!!
Right m8
True
Definitely - and not only opened the song, opening for the entire album.
Perfectly could be
"I wish that every kiss was never ending." Brian's perfect voice in stereo.
It doesn't get any better than this!!!!!

It brought me to tears listing to it the first time
So true, so true !!
the harmonies.......they are just magical.
This whole album sounds like a fairy pouring magic into my ears!
Nice. Stealing that one, I am. 🤣
One of the top 10 albums ever made. People don't realize how original this album was at the time.
Thomas Purcell Yes, they do.
Chip Gaasche unfortunately not with the younger crowd.
anyone that truly cares about Pop music knows. I found it to sound rather pretentious for you to speak for EVERYONE!
there's always the haters.
Thomas Purcell
Who, exactly, is hating?
Brian Wilson is a freakin genius.
Brian Wilson was crazy, but you have to be crazy to survive in this idiot world !
@@JoeVanos I agree
@@iouel shut up
@@greasyflab3180 what's wrong flabby, Trump got ya toungue?!
It blows my mind that no band since has captured the California vibe with brilliant rock-pop elements since.
I wish more music was like this now. It's just such an amazing orchestration.
Derek Eklund Listen to the album Strawberry Jam by Animal Collective
There’s plenty of music like this now. Boomers just refuse to listen to anything new.
"Pet Sounds" really kills it!! And the Cali High Harmony is off the charts! Beach Boys ROCK!!
A brilliant opening to one of the greatest rock albums of all time.
>rock
Pop album
Rock album
Pet Sounds is the apex of music.
@BrunoP lol
@BrunoP also Rubber soul Is my first Beatles album :D
Hey rubber soul your little brother is inspired from this you know right
Ur dumb as fuck, it's insulting to say pet Sounds is the best music has to offer u dumb piece of shit

The Beach Boys are overlooked. Way underrated.
Not even close. They are recognized as one of the greatest pop bands and musical acts of all time.
Not "underrated" in any way, shape or form. Known as one of the top 5 bands in American history.
Brilliantly orchestrated by Wilson. The use of two accordions makes this truly unique.
awesome line : 'you know it seems the more we talk about it, it only makes it worse
to live without it'
Sin lugar a dudas, este álbum es la obra maestra de los Beach Boys, y uno de los más grandes albums de cualquier grupo de ese y todos los tiempos, creo que incluso Paul McCartney así lo ha expresado y reconocido. Genial!
Song makes me cry. In a good way.
This album changed my life. If you want to hear music inspired by Brian Wilson click on my channel and listen to my song Ocean.
Happy-cry?
Saw Brian Wilson and Mike Love live back in November, and I nearly cried hearing this live. It's such an amazing song.
Hear ya, buddy ~ hear ya, loud & clear.
Pet Sounds was produced by Brian Wilson and all music was recorded by the Wrecking Crew, that's why it is brilliant
Yes, but the voices are from The Beach Boys.
Studio musicians extraordinaire.......
that's right .. the crew
This is my wake-up alarm song. Still hasn't ruined this song for me and I get up with a smile!
The writer who said this album was overrated only needed to pull the youtube tapes of Paul McCartney and Beatle producer George Martin who said this album was directly responsible for inspiring the Beatle's Sgt Pepper and revolutionized how recordings and instrumentations would be made in the future.

812shiloh Well Sgt. Pepper's is overrated too.
waybetterthanjeff Says you.
Chip Gaasche Obviously.
Which mean nothing... obviously.
Chip Gaasche The thing I find really touching, as a COMPLETE fan of both...is when they meet each other, still... They both look like fans. I can't quite comprehend the genius of either of them...and then they're together and are both so humbled and thrilled. Make me glad to be alive, both of them.
This album has been a part of my life since the 60's. God bless Brian Wilson and all of the musical experiences he has given.
I didn't appreciate Pet Sounds when I was young. I was into Led Zeppelin, Sabbath, Allman Bros etc. The Beach Boys was too pop music for me. Now that I'm older I can appreciate Brian Wilson, he was a genius
sunkist commercial in the70s . awsome!
The vocal harmonies on this are just insane
It's truly impossible to articulate how beautiful "Pet Sounds" is in words❤️ there's so much going on in this one.
Lennon said "Pet Sounds" was the best record he ever heard.
Lennon? I'll take your word for it. But certainly McCartney did. He's on record saying this.
Lennon said" The Genuine Imitation Life Gazette" was his favorite record.
no ,,it was Paul who fell in love with Pet sounds the other 3 thought it was ok
No, you're wrong. Lennon said: Brian uses the voices as if they were musical instruments. That's what you said, Paul McCartney said. :)
Lennon said, "Give Peace a Chance"
Brilliance, balance, happiness and purity..all in one song, FANTASTIC!
The best on the whole album to me. It's impossible to get tired of it.
Beach Boys, Mamas and the Papas, CS&N---the best encyclopedia of vocal harmonies there is. Period.
You left out Queen, otherwise I totally agree with your choices.
Everly Brothers
Don't forget the Beatles
How about the Sweet? If you like there music or not, their harmonies were amazing. listen to "No You Don't" or "Action".
fredpulm The Association were great too!
Mindblowingly gorgeous. And the only song I've ever heard that puts the intro in a different key than the main song....
I can hear the rooms this was recorded in, the reverb in the walls, the true depth behind the sound, the grain of the wood which lines the floors. I don't know how this came out of one man's brain.
So glad to be in a world with Brian Wilson's genius and the Beachboys' harmonies
Timeless representation of what music can be at its highest level.I wasn't born in the generation of when this came out,but at this moment in this century I'm happily memorized by it.
The Beach Boys helped to shape the 60's and 70's with songs that made it easy to follow and really listen to!
Thank you Brian, for all you did. Listening with new ears after watching Dicney Doc, last night.
Happy 50th anniversary Pet Sounds--just one of the many reasons that Brian is pure genius---Thanks for all the great music
GOAT of all albums. Hence why they have the GOAT on the cover.
Jim Gordon on the drums, brings all of the songs on Pet Sounds together. A masterful drummer that deserves more accolades.
And hal !!
I agree😎
How proud are they, eveyone who worked on this-- wonderful ✨🎶🏆
Pet Sounds is one of the greatest albums ever made, a rare masterpiece. If don't own it, you should.
i was a university student when i heard this song for the first time. in 1999 or 2000. since then, i'have loved this.so sweet, so touching.
I have tapped the replay button on this video more times than all of the other videos I have watched combined.
Getting the chance to see this performed live by Brian Wilson is one of the greatest moments in my life. Pet Sounds is by far the greatest album to be released by any band, period.
the horns at .24 of a minute is insane along with everything else, never gets old
I have heard so much about this album and how good it is. This is my first listen to the whole thing!
Still on the top 40 Pop Albums after this many years ....it says something for music in that generation
Chills. Nothing like listening to this album with some headphones on in the summertime.
Congratulations Brian, on one the most beautiful albums of all time!!! Belatedly, of course.
It really is the best album ever made!!!
Pure Genius!
One of the best albums ever recorded. Brian Wilson was a genius!

I didn't know what love meant, only that my emotions for a girl made me crazy
A masterpiece.
Greatest double sided hit ever....wouldn't it be nice and God only knows...
This hits different after watching Love & Mercy
One of the best albums I have ever heard.. The writing and harmonies are so advanced!
Happy 50th birthday Pet Sounds. Still a beautiful piece of art.
that's a distinguishing character about art. it is powerful in its presence of timelessness
Que álbum perfeito! Que harmonia!
Listen to Brian Wilson's new autobiography. WOW
stunning band. Timeless

Wow
Just watched Love and Mercy. I am again blown away by Brian!
La forma mas epica de introducir a un álbum!!!
The perfect opening song for this album. It's like an *amuse bouche* for the brain.
pure genious and happiness, in the era maybe the greatest album ever recorded

8/15/1995 Three Rivers Stadium In Pittsburgh PA I saw the Beach Boys! One of the best concerts I ever went to!
A perfect example of music!
50 years old and I would *almost* believe it if you told me it was released yesterday. What a genius Brian Wilson is.

Just fantastic..... Legendary!!!

Lyrics:
Wouldn't it be nice if we were older
Then we wouldn't have to wait so long
And wouldn't it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong
You know its gonna make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together
Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through
Happy times together we've been spending
I wish that every kiss was never ending
Wouldn't it be nice
Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true
Baby then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do
We could be married
And then wed be happy
Wouldn't it be nice
You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But lets talk about it
Wouldn't it be nice
bah bah , bah bah bah
One of my earliest albums. Had it in Mono. This stereo remaster is nice. Just the greatest Beach Boys album of all time , at least in my opinion...Ed
Paul McCartney played this for the rest of the Beatles and the next album that they putout was Sgt Peppers.
Pet Sounds was indeed the primary inspiration for Sgt. Pepper's.
They put out Revolver next, not sgt peppers
denis nevsky just shows how it took two albums before the Beatles decided they had somewhat eclipsed pet sounds
@@denisnevsky3734 the Beatles album Revolver was released
August 5, 1966, and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band/Release date
was May 26, 1967 s
so you are correct Dennis
Beach Boys needed trillion of musicians, producers and the entirei capitol building to do pet sounds, and betles, the four, with some strings quartet and et cetera made sgt. peppers

Damn......can't believe that both Pet Sounds & Blonde on Blonde turn 50 today. Talk about a monumental day for music.
What a pair of history masterpieces... The start of popular rock albums as an art.
Love this album. Beautiful music.
Brian said he smoked some dope and listened to Rubber Soul and was blown away - and that was his inspiration for pet sounds - to out do the beatles - and then beatles were likewise blown away by pet sounds. Bran said it was like being on an upward spiral - both trying to be better and better.
The mono is magic, but the stereo is just as good. Such a shame Brian Wilson can never enjoy hearing it like us.
I saw an interview with Paul McCartney that really changed my view of him where he had some members of the Beach Boys had asked him questions how they made such a perfect album and he pointed back to the beach boys and said if it wasn't for Pet Sounds there would not have been Sgt. Peppers.
