    Brian Wilson said he wrote this in 45 minutes. Wow, I've spent hours trying to memorize this on piano, and can't.

      One thing I've found that helps for me with memorization is to try to practice it with out any music and try to learn it by ear. This will take a lot longer this way but I find it imprints it in my memory as opposed to practicing sheet music and later forgetting it. Hope this helps.

      Caio Bandeira - This to me is the greatest song ever written. Will ALWAYS be my favorite song. God Only Knows where I would be without Brian Wilson’s music and Tony Asher’s lyrics.

    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 livin' 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
    Though life would still go on, believe me
    The world could show nothing to me
    So what good would livin' do me
    God only knows what I'd be without you
    God only knows what I'd be without you

      Imagine if they were played in the correct inversions like they were intended, the economical, root position form completely miss the depiction of distraught insatiability.

    John Lennon said it was the best pop song ever written.
    No one has disputed this since.
    And he wrote Pet Sounds inspired by Rubber Soul! Not quite a “competition”, but somewhat.
    Nothing else to add.

      @Ryan692.  4 года назад +1

      At the time the arrangement I learned this from was just chords and it didn’t have the melody notes. I also wasn’t as adept at figuring out the melody notes by ear as I am today so I just stuck with the chords where you can still sing along. The Beatles book I have includes all the vocal notes as well.

      No, in the second bar of the transition to Bridge she plays G in the Bass
      but it's actually a G over A in the Bass. At the end of each phrase the Bass does not go up to A but it comes down to F#. Listen to the original..
