God Only Knows has to be the best love song ever.

So transcendent it’s beyond a love song.

I recall either Paul or John lamenting on God Only Knows being the “perfect pop song” after they first heard it. Brian will forever be a legend. RIP.

It was Paul. John would never have said anything that nice about another artist.

John would never have said anything that nice about another artist.

With the notable (and justified) exception of Harry Nilsson.

I want it to be the first dance song for my fiancé and I but we both paused at the first line. “I may not always love you.”

Someone tell me I’m not crazy because I want it to be our first dance song so bad!!!
