It has aged very well by hardly aging! How can a man in his 70s not sound that different than ages ago in my favorite Jardine vocal number, the Breakaway chorus part.
It's not "Pet Sounds" or "Smile" but still a very sweet song. The man can still write great hooks, melodies and vocal arrangements that give me goosebumps!
I don't think that radio stations or promoters did their job with this song. I didn't hear it when released and it's every but as good as "wouldn't it be nice" in my opinion. I could just keep listening to it!!!!
I love their sound together…..amazing they are so easy to listen to. Big love to Brian Wilson & Al Jardin for still being able to create such beautiful songs
Hey leo I can't believe I found you on this video. I've been watching your channel for years. Now I know you have excellent music taste as well. Brian wilson is a genius.
The brilliance of Brian Wilson has always been evident A musical genius if ever there was one Although he wrote most of the songs he would ultimately decide who would sing lead vocals at production stage For example it was his decision that his brother Carl would sing lead vocals on "Good Vibrations" on "Darlin" and of course "God Only Knows" but equally he would lend lead vocals to other members on various other tracks That was his brilliance He knew exactly who's voice was best suited to each song
I could listen to Brian’s melodies all day, truly healing sounds. I’m glad I am alive at the same time as this extraordinary human - the modern day Mozart - and I can’t thank him enough.
Should've been a major hit. Maybe it was. Great song, great musicians, living legends. Saw Al in person recently at the Dakota Jazz club in Minneapolis. Great show, great musician including stand-up bass & he tells great stories. John from West St. Paul, Minnesota.
Driving home from work I heard this song for the first time and thought that it sounded like the Beach Boys a bit and really enjoyed it. When it finished it was announced that it was Brian Wilson's song. Well Brian you still have it that's all I can say!
It's the voice man. Who cares about a few wrinkles. Time may not be kind but hear the sound, look at the spirit. Talk about heart. For the love of music. The love of singing. How lucky to have such passion for something and to still be able to do it so beautifully. I envy them!
I love this song, heard it quite a lot on the radio. Thought it was an old hit! Strange how the voice still sounds like the beach boys, thought it would have aged very differently.
Look people, these are 70+ men singing in a style we seldom hear today, so just appreciate it for what it is: a beautiful piece of music! Who cares if this is digital or not, it IS three Beach Boys (David Marks was NOT an original member, he took over from Al Jardine when he left the group to pursue a degree in Dentistry) playing and singing some 55 years after it all started! GET OVER YOURSELVES AND ENJOY!!!!!
This is awesome. It's really nice to see Brian still recording and enjoying it with what he's been through. The best part is it sounds like he's really improving the sound the original Beach Boys had back during their prime.
You're right! No offense to Jeff, but his falsetto was way too overpowering and just not as pleasant sounding (see "Desert Drive") for example. Jeff would be good in a Beach Boys tribute band. ...well, actually he kinda is now. lol
Al Jardine still has such a smooth voice at nearly 80 years old and of course Brian is as brilliant as he always has been. These two guys were the nucleus of the Beach Boy sound. Mike Love is a JACKASS who would have spent his life washing cars if it had not been for these two guys!
Such a GREAT tune. Enjoy watching this video, seeing Brian Wilson, Al Jardine collaborate with group of talented musicians, including Don Was and Jim Keltner. Always leaves me smiling...
Think we know even in the early days any one of the Beach Boys could have taken the lead vocals spot but as with this song the balance amd interchanging of the leads just work.
My favorite moment is when Brian hits that lyric leading into the beat, and says, emphatically, "But, not this time!" ... such, such, such a beautiful song. The reason why we love Brian is because every ounce of his soul all his life has been about channeling God, in whatever form we identify with Him/Her/It/Everything. ... A treasure, and absurd he is still doing what he's doing after all he has been through. Him/Her/It/Everything is looking over, i'm guessing. :)
Brian Wilson seems happy, am so glad. And he and Al Jardine seem like old fishin' buddies. Good to see David Marks, so great, and Don Was just adds icing to the cake. Love this.
YOU GUYS SOAR. ICONIC. MIKE LOVE EAT YOUR HEART OUT. AL YOUR LEAD VOCALS ARE SO GOOD ITS CRAZY. AND SEE HOW PROUD GENUIS BRIAN LOOKS AT MATT JARDINE ON HIS BACK UP VOCALS AND FALSETTO. EVERYONE OF YOU. STUPENDOUS. YOU BET SURVIVING MEMBERS OF WRECKING CREW BLOWN AWAY ON THIS GEM.
Brian Wilson never fails to make me Smile. This is going to be a great album! Brian and Al sound fantastic together! I can't wait to hear the rest of the album!
To all the people posting negative comments: these guys made some of the most iconic American music ever produced, and they're now in their 70's and still rocking out. So fuck off with your negative comments because if you should be so lucky to even live that long, you'd be blessed if you could still walk at that age let alone rock! God bless Brian and Al and thanks for all the amazing music!
jamesthebookseller Depends; Jardine and Wilson are obviously still capable of performing well. But when I see David Lee Roth (Van Halen) ,or Kiss, or Ian Gillan on stage, then "old age" is no excuse, it just looks and sounds pathetic! Some artists don't know when to quit. But these two guys are still good. It also depends on the style of music; If you're over sixty ,should you still play in a hardrockband (Roth,Paul Stanley)?
L O V E in it's unique, beautiful & all-encompassing simplicity in the REALM OF SPIRIT ETERNAL "that's the quest of this humble Don Quijote looking for his..."
Great song; smooth! I love the run of words, "so many pieces, but never in a very straight line." Wow! I'm glad to see David Marks here, altho they are side shots, not full face.....I always admired David Marks. Brian and Al sound great!! Thank you for the music over the years! God bless you all!!
It's hard to imagine Fun Fun Fun, I Get Around or When I Grow Up To Be A Man without Mike's vocals. Love was really good for the early stuff, not so much for the later stuff which is probably why he turned into kind of an ass.
I personally can’t STAND Mike love, then again I don’t know him personally. But I feel like he did Brian dirty and basically took over The Beach Boys, even though Brian was the true genius. Overall mike love just gives me bad vibes
Theres countless reasons why the world loves brian: the single most influential, integral artist/composer of the last 52 yrs, and he never makes a dud.
I am loving this song .voices sound so good .this is what music is all about fills you with joy and happiness in your heart another one of Brian's master pieces
Brian Wilson you are the best! I got 10 th row center for count Basie in Redbank sept...so excited! My love will be with me in spirit...he educated me on your talent and we listened to countless hours of music everyday...;)
I've been playing this song a lot for a couple of years now. I like everything about it but David's contribution is the icing on the cake for me. It's understated but just fits in so well and the song would not be the same without it. He looks so calm and peaceful too. Given that he was Carl's friend originally, I like the fact that he ended up working with what you might call "Team Brian."
I love this song. Brian Wilson your music has changed how I write my own music. Thank you for writing such great music. And Al your voice hasn't changed at all you still sound like you did singing Barbara Ann in the 60's.
Anytime is the RIGHT TIME for Brian Wilson music
Brian's face when he sings shows the pure joy it brings him, and how much he loves everything he does.
Good Al Jardine's voice sounds terrific, belying his age so much. The younger part of the crew here must have been bedazzled.
Isn't it nuts? Brian Wilson has been pulling out hits like this for (50 years?).
How can you not love Brian Wilson? And it's great to see Al Jardine featuring on some of the tracks and singing lead vocal. He's still got it.
Wilson, Jardine, Was and Keltner.
Over 5 years since this gem was released. Like Al's voice, it has aged very well.
It has aged very well by hardly aging! How can a man in his 70s not sound that different than ages ago in my favorite Jardine vocal number, the Breakaway chorus part.
I love to hear Al and Brian together .... their voices are beautiful together. Live long my dear friends.
This sounds like a modern day BB song. 100% Wilsonified
All these years later, still pouring them out
Can't stop listening to this. The vocal harmonies are incredible.
Those unmistakable Beach Boys melodies and harmonies. Great stuff.
Thank you Brian for so many beautiful sounds throughout my life. There is so much hope in your music.
It's not "Pet Sounds" or "Smile" but still a very sweet song. The man can still write great hooks, melodies and vocal arrangements that give me goosebumps!
I’m a 72 year old musician......Brian is the only artist that can bring a smile to my face....
Would like to see the genius of Brian Wilson and Paul McCartney do some serious writing and recording together. That would be Epic.
Brian is back.....AGAIN!! yeah.
stewart beatle and even better than before. I love his new sounds, so unique and refreshing.
I don't think that radio stations or promoters did their job with this song. I didn't hear it when released and it's every but as good as "wouldn't it be nice" in my opinion.
I could just keep listening to it!!!!
Brian Wilson is one of the world's greatest songwriter
I love their sound together…..amazing they are so easy to listen to. Big love to Brian Wilson & Al Jardin for still being able to create such beautiful songs
Still an absolute musical genius
My favorite off of Brian's "No Pier Pressure" album. Now in his 70's, he hasn't lost his magic touch. May God continue to bless Brian Wilson.👍👌
Completely agree It us a beautiful album
Im a fan of Jardine: so humble, so talented, so loyal... a real good friend
I love hearing about Al Jardine and David Marks working together. That just warms my heart!
Brian Wilson is a gift.
It is a gift to See you, Mr. Wilson.
stunning, Brian sounds awesome as always
Hey leo I can't believe I found you on this video. I've been watching your channel for years. Now I know you have excellent music taste as well. Brian wilson is a genius.
leokimvideo and better than ever. I love his new sounds. Refreshing!
The brilliance of Brian Wilson has always been evident
A musical genius if ever there was one

Great to hear Brian & Al singing together...😎😎😎
This entire album is awesome. If you haven't, check it out.
Mr Jardine, sir, this is magic-Al.
Driving home from work I heard this song for the first time and thought that it sounded like the Beach Boys a bit and really enjoyed it. When it finished it was announced that it was Brian Wilson's song. Well Brian you still have it that's all I can say!
Al Jardine still sounds almost the same.
so amazing to see brian wilson happy throughout this whole video it just makes me happy
It's the voice man. Who cares about a few wrinkles. Time may not be kind but hear the sound, look at the spirit. Talk about heart. For the love of music. The love of singing. How lucky to have such passion for something and to still be able to do it so beautifully. I envy them!
Agreed 100%
I'd like to see them do a united tour again. It would be SOLD out time after time!
I think it's "the right time" for all of them!
I love this song, heard it quite a lot on the radio. Thought it was an old hit! Strange how the voice still sounds like the beach boys, thought it would have aged very differently.
Love the lyrics and melody! Al sings this beautifully and is just awesome here. Brian harmonizes perfectly as always. Just love this song!😊❤
Johnny Cash and Brian Wilson, the greatest American artists of their time
Yes, yes. yes, it absolutely is, its the best time.
Look people, these are 70+ men singing in a style we seldom hear today, so just appreciate it for what it is: a beautiful piece of music! Who cares if this is digital or not, it IS three Beach Boys (David Marks was NOT an original member, he took over from Al Jardine when he left the group to pursue a degree in Dentistry) playing and singing some 55 years after it all started! GET OVER YOURSELVES AND ENJOY!!!!!
It's great to see Brian back in the studio, and rather touching to hear him and Al Jardine harmonising as wonderfully as ever.
This is awesome. It's really nice to see Brian still recording and enjoying it with what he's been through. The best part is it sounds like he's really improving the sound the original Beach Boys had back during their prime.
finally! and album where it's not Foskett making the high falsetto parts!!
You're right! No offense to Jeff, but his falsetto was way too overpowering and just not as pleasant sounding (see "Desert Drive") for example. Jeff would be good in a Beach Boys tribute band. ...well, actually he kinda is now. lol
Jeff will still be on the album, just not all of the songs like in the past.
I always thought that Jeffrey's falsettos sounded like a 14 years old teenager's mourn and was far to give tribute to the former Wilson's voice.
Matt Jardine's falsetto is better.
Foskett is ten times better than Matt. He strains to sing the parts while Foskett does them naturally.
This is a really nice song. I still like Brian Wilson singing falsetto. The chorus brought back that Summer Beach Boys sound. I definitely approve.
Al Jardine still has such a smooth voice at nearly 80 years old and of course Brian is as brilliant as he always has been. These two guys were the nucleus of the Beach Boy sound. Mike Love is a JACKASS who would have spent his life washing cars if it had not been for these two guys!
The happier half-brother to Lay Down Burden, I can dig it Brian! Keep on keeping it real.
Such a GREAT tune. Enjoy watching this video, seeing Brian Wilson, Al Jardine collaborate with group of talented musicians, including Don Was and Jim Keltner. Always leaves me smiling...
Al - Always a great BB from then till now.
Think we know even in the early days any one of the Beach Boys could have taken the lead vocals spot but as with this song the balance amd interchanging of the leads just work.
My favorite moment is when Brian hits that lyric leading into the beat, and says, emphatically, "But, not this time!" ... such, such, such a beautiful song.

A treasure, and absurd he is still doing what he's doing after all he has been through. Him/Her/It/Everything is looking over, i'm guessing. :)
takes you back 50 years .... great job Brian. Al, and Mark ..
Don Was is so smooth on that bass.
Beautiful. I've never heard it before. ❤
Fantastic music
great song.
Brian Wilson seems happy, am so glad. And he and Al Jardine seem like old fishin' buddies. Good to see David Marks, so great, and Don Was just adds icing to the cake. Love this.
A masterful performance by Brian,Al and the rest of the group here..Great work!!
Talent never fades
That was fantastic. It's like the "Rise of the Pheonix". Top of my shopping list.
6 years ago!
And Brian is still making music
Fabulous, beautiful harmonies. These guys sound better than ever, which is quite something considering their advancing years. Long may they continue.
YOU GUYS SOAR. ICONIC. MIKE LOVE EAT YOUR HEART OUT. AL YOUR LEAD VOCALS ARE SO GOOD ITS CRAZY. AND SEE HOW PROUD GENUIS BRIAN LOOKS AT MATT JARDINE ON HIS BACK UP VOCALS AND FALSETTO. EVERYONE OF YOU. STUPENDOUS. YOU BET SURVIVING MEMBERS OF WRECKING CREW BLOWN AWAY ON THIS GEM.
Such a great, great song!
Brian Wilson never fails to make me Smile. This is going to be a great album! Brian and Al sound fantastic together! I can't wait to hear the rest of the album!
They still know exactly how to do it. This is great!!
Wow! Such a heart piercing song for anything!!!
Still fantastic artists!
Uno dei più grandi geni della musica :grazie Brian !

Happy to see you singing with smile Brian
Lots of love to you man and long life
SMILE of THE YEAR!
Brian has always made quality music since the 60s. And this song is really good!
Congratulations to Brian & Co.
Great song; smooth! I love the run of words, "so many pieces, but never in a very straight line." Wow! I'm glad to see David Marks here, altho they are side shots, not full face.....I always admired David Marks. Brian and Al sound great!! Thank you for the music over the years! God bless you all!!
0:18 AL jARDINE IS THE BEST SINGER IN THE WORLD TODAY
Nobody does harmonies like Brian Wilson. Good to see Al and David on this too. Even better NOT to see you know who.
It's worth noting that BBC 2 has this song ranked #2 in airplay!
Heard this on Chris Evans the other day, not been able to get it out of my head since! Easy listening
i don't know about anyone else, but I've always thought, Al was a better singer than Mike Love
It's hard to imagine Fun Fun Fun, I Get Around or When I Grow Up To Be A Man without Mike's vocals. Love was really good for the early stuff, not so much for the later stuff which is probably why he turned into kind of an ass.
You are SO right.
mike love sucks, he was lucky to be a cousin of Brian or he would be in the streets.
Maddagozo08, it is not a contest! They can both be great singers.
I personally can’t STAND Mike love, then again I don’t know him personally. But I feel like he did Brian dirty and basically took over The Beach Boys, even though Brian was the true genius. Overall mike love just gives me bad vibes
The mere fact that he's like 5 year older than me, makes me realize that I still have a long way to go. Cheers, Yves
Theres countless reasons why the world loves brian: the single most influential, integral artist/composer of the last 52 yrs, and he never makes a dud.
Absolutely incredible. What a great song!
AH still so classy,thanks brian.
Good song ! Great Brian ! And drummer Jim keltner is a very happy man ! Since Imagine 1971 always with the greatest !
I am loving this song .voices sound so good .this is what music is all about fills you with joy and happiness in your heart another one of Brian's master pieces
Brian Wilson you are the best! I got 10 th row center for count Basie in Redbank sept...so excited! My love will be with me in spirit...he educated me on your talent and we listened to countless hours of music everyday...;)

Given that he was Carl's friend originally, I like the fact that he ended up working with what you might call "Team Brian."
The creativity that keeps coming from this guy! Love you Brian
What a fantastic song sung by legends
WONDERFUL!!
I love it! Such a beautiful melody and harmonies! Congratulations, Mr. Brian.
Grandes viejos ...Could it be the right time 🎵♩🎶👀😉
Love this, love the harmonies, thank you 🙏 Brian.
How can Al still sing like he’s in the 60s. Also this sounds like “Lay down Burden” that Brian wrote for Carl
I can't describe how much I love this song and how excited I am for the new album!
Great song...
I love this song. Brian Wilson your music has changed how I write my own music. Thank you for writing such great music.
And Al your voice hasn't changed at all you still sound like you did singing Barbara Ann in the 60's.
Al Jardine has a awesome voice and Brians voice has been really strong the last few years. So nice to hear the real beach boys !
