Wouldn't It Be Nice

The Beach Boys

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

The Beach Boys || ”God Only Knows” (Session Highlights)



I don’t know which is more beautiful, this production, or the song, or the vocals themselves.  Each has made me cry on occasion.

I like how Brian asks his Dad’s approval on a sound—though he’s an abusive dad they said, there is a moment of cooperation.  Here, listening to them fine tune this production is amazing.  How each little sound becomes crucial to the final recording.
