Where Is My Mind?

Monday morning, Allison Young asks the question that is perpetually on my inner tape loop. The song was originally done by The Pixies in the 80s in a very different way.

I lost it at the whistling.

God Only Knows

Paul McCartney once called Brian Wilson’s “God Only Knows” the most beautiful love song ever written. I found the version above to be very intriguing. The performers are from several different genres and generations of music. I kept watching this over and over to identify all the performers, to catch all the visual detail in the imaginative creation, and to re-live the beauty of the song.
