about

Well, there's not many people that really deserve the title of "legend," but Brian Wilson is without a doubt one of those few. I had the supreme pleasure of meeting Brian (truly one of my musical heroes in every sense of the word) this past weekend, and I thought what better way to celebrate than by recording one of his songs. What else can be said about this song that hasn't been said before. "God Only Knows" is quite possibly the most prolific piece of pop music of all time, one of a select few songs that I believe will be known hundreds of years in the future.

I almost feel it to be sacrilege to reinterpret a classic like this, but without even planning to release it for a "Song Of The Week," I found myself starting to lay down a bunch of ideas for a slightly different arrangement than Brian's, including some Brian May inspired guitar work...realizing after the fact that Brian May was just recently involved in an "All Star" version of the song himself...well...at least my version of it doesn't feature One Direction ;-) Before I knew it I had a completed tune, so here's one for Brian. It was really great meeting you, man!
