Beach Boys - God Only Knows (Lyrics)

[amonterisi]

The best pop song ever, according Sir Paul McCartney. And me.

[HannahHypnotize96]

Haha, I remember when I was in 4th grade, I went through this Beach Boys Stage, and my friends thought I was crazy, but I will always love this song!

[sabrina27ize]

@kingkhan2894 They're BOTH amazing songs. Did you know Paul McCartney said this was his favourite song of all time? The Beatles and The Beach Boys admired each other a lot.

[iskandalozaaa]

thumbs up if you got here from wonder years 57

[HeWhoWalksAlonely]

Thumbs up if you think the guy who cried is still a pussy even though he admitted it.

[HebigamiBogard]

@HeWhoWalksAlonely Suck mine.

[RFKFANTS67]

When I kick off I want this tune at my funeral:}

[TwilightStarrr123]

@RFKFANTS67 Same :'D Morbid as that sounds, I was just thinking about that the other day xD

[FernandoNINETorres]

@RFKFANTS67 Same here! A bit different from "i did it my way"

[WORLDEALER]

I LOVE YOU.... J.L.V

[YouSillySausage1]

I really can't get enough of this song

[kimmetje1976]

Brilliant song

[kingkhan2894]

yesterday rapes this song

[mangoshakess]

@kingkhan2894 *pats kingkhan's head* there there.

[F5veSeveN]

@kingkhan2894 They're both good songs. But if I had to choose I'd have to pick this song. I'm a huge Beatles fan too - but I feel this song is more moving than Yesterday.

Yesterday's a really good song though.

[joemoe611]

make more videos

[clivegirl1978]

Beautiful Song!

[FifiInthis]

We all have that special someone who we can't ever see ourselves without. Peace Love and Happiness my friends. Long Live Love

<3

[DrCool1221]

ohemmgeee luvvv ettt!!!!!!

[18jpmartin]

amazing



[dzejnulka1]

I heard this song in Love Actually. I found out the title of this song and I came here to play it and add it to my favourite videos. And I found out very strange thing - I was already listening to this song according to youtube. But I don't remember it. And if I saw this video before, how it is possible that I didn't add it to my f.v.? :) Weird! :) Lo this song!

[dzejnulka1]

@dzejnulka1 sorry : Love this song!

[MasquaradeMurder]

Love Actually :)

[nimrodius]

Thumps up lf Hatred actually brought you here!! D-:<

[VeilanArt]

I just love this song:)

[13XxAlucardxX13]

This is how i would i feel if my girlfriend is gone like broke up with me its like i cant continue...the very thought of it makes me Cry.....

[ModernMusicSucks69]

day 3 of looking for bjl257's comment..... running out of food and water i dont know if im going to make it........

[Casserroo]

This is my all time favorite song. I just love love love it!!! Thanks for posting this wonderful song.

[Theevasstyle]

what a song godd!! beautifull

[rdkirley]

This version features little brother Carl on vocals, but I also enjoy Brian's version. Both had voices like angels. Originally all 5 Beach Boys, Bruce Johnston, and some women sang on this song. During production, Brian scaled it back to only Carl, Bruce, and himself on vocals. After finishing 2 different lead vocal tracks, he settled on Carl. RIP Carl and Dennis.

[joemoe611]

love it

[ozarkrevival]

Awesome song. I heard that Mccartney and Lennon attended a pre debut screening of this album where McCartney said it was the best song he'd ever heard. That's saying alot. This album also started a string of albums that charted higher in the UK than in the US.

[MrBigben1952]

Hi KaceyC93 - Thank You! Thank you for posting this beautiful song and including the lyrics. I am 60 years old and these Beach Boys songs helped us tell a girl just how we felt back in the day. As far as the other BS postings, everyone is involved, let it roll on. You are doing a good thing here for the rest of us. God Bless.

[MrTomsTips]

just enjoy the music! stop complaining!

[iiisssaaacccguepardo]

this is rubbish!!!

[proudmexican111]

@iiisssaaacccguepardo

....is that why it's in your playlist......

[dduble07]

@iiisssaaacccguepardo so your mom's vagina after i RAPE HER!

[fbobe1948]

in the middle 60's I had a 45 copy of the beach boys Sloop John B and this was not the B side. It was some other song that started with just some sounds like "na na nana na" does somebody have any idea what it is?

[SPNGleekWarrior]

Thumps up If Love actually brought you here!! <3

[FOGang]

bombabomba bomb bommmb ba bom ba bom ba bom babom bom ba bomb ba baaaa

[andrez03]

I was in freeform college radio in the 70s. When I played God Only Knows-Beach Boys, I left a respectful one-second of dead air between this and Cherish-Association, Bus Stop-Hollies, and Reach Out I'll Be There-4 Tops...

That was my VERY sacred "Early-Sept 1966" set.

[Original602]

Strong love

[AlwaysThere4YouX]

Went to a wedding and sang this instead of a hymn! SO epic!! LOVE THIS SONG~!!!

[elvisatemydonuts]

Best last minute of any song I can think of. Brian's soaring falsetto and the french horn echoing his line -- mixed in with the other two vocal parts . . .

Could it get any better than that?

When Paul McCartney says this song makes him cry every time, it's probably because he's singing along with Brian's high part at the end. That will definitely do the trick.

This is what genius sounds like.

[axelXriku13]

big love :p

[LSA2013]

The Beach Boys: incredibly underrated now a days... my parents went through their childhood while the Beach Boys and Beatles were the most well know groups around, and I grew up at dates after 1980 (Led Zep breakup due to Bonham's death), so I missed the epic music era. but God Only Knows, maybe we'll have another epic 20 years of music ...

For the record, I'm 16.

[jabba12000]

i'm drunk fellas.

[Cml725]

Thanks for sharing, Kacey :-)

[agentoranges]

dat fade out...

[kmepic]

Hebigamibogart- ..me too

[kmepic]

[pialdap]

[mrtcrunner123]

Brandonbryer. !!! U must not had a bar

Of soap put in your mouth when u

Anyway ,, great love song and great band. First

Class.

[sobettax3]

My favorite song is I get around but this song is good to :-)

[misspurplepetals]

<3 this song :)

[brandonbeyer]

People fighting in the comments of a beach boys song ftw. Thank you silly folks for making my day, keep the hate alive people, I wanna watch this motherfucker burn

[HebigamiBogard]

I'm gonna be honest: I almost cried when I replayed this song several times.

I'm man enough to admit it.

[wazy73]

@HebigamiBogard to be honest you're just another thumbwhore

[HebigamiBogard]

@wazy73 Chill. I don't care about thumbs up. I just love this song. If you want to be a hater go somewhere else.

[CFCID]

@HebigamiBogard puss

[HebigamiBogard]

@CFCID Screw off. :)

[felicia7021]

we had this as our first dance at our wedding.

I really dont care what anyone else says, its one of the best love songs of all time, if youre really in love, or ever have been you`ll understand,. it isnt about words, or frills, its about something you cant put into words, but `life would still go on beleive me, but what good would living do me` comes pretty close. :)

[thenewburys1]

one of the all time greatest love songs....fantastic song

[MsMegaball]

lol fck them

[badalnow]

thanks for uploading this, like the song and was looking for the lyrics too. Thanks.

[BenaiahLLC]

I can't believe that I really hated this song when I first heard it. I thought it was annoying and repetitive. But after hearing it again, I realize this is one of those great things that I just totally misunderstood and now this is one of my favorite songs.

[bocachico69]

I heard this song long time ago in Colombia, it brings to me good memories.

[andrez03]

This BBoys song was a thoroughly awesome part of my Top-40 AM Radio experience in early Sept 1966 along with Cherish by the Association. Yes, I'm as absolutely hardcore hetero as they come!

[TheLFCfan04]

I heard this song from a volkswagen advert :) great song amazing

[eltardo20]

I love that you put the lyrics to the song...gave it more meaning for me. Beautiful!

[izzatluv]

one of the greatest songs

[NolitaDenise]

Lyrics videos usually have better sound quality than their 'true video' counterparts.

If someone needs to memorize a song for a band or chorus this is handier than buying the whole cd.

I'm sure they help some people learn how to speak English. I inadvertently learned some French from films and it got a little better from Vanessa Paradis lyrics videos. I'm sure if someone set out to use lyrics videos as learning tools they would only improve in their lessons.

[Neverhaarrry]

LIKE if Tony from SKINS brought you here :D ♥

[BanginDRCuT]

This song makes me feel good inside, the vibe is trance-like

[KayceeSparks]

Big Love <3

[scarfacebadass]

great song

[adamayres1988]

I enjoy the videos with the lyrics so I can "sing" along (I'm using the term sing very loosely of course).

Thanks for uploading this :)

[Deppcrazy01]

I'm only 17, and this song truly makes me believe that love is out there. I get all giddy and wistful whenever I hear it. It's my favorite love song =)

[katiebearman]

Love Actually!

[StatenIslandisBoring]

Amazing song.. and its even more amazing because Big Love used it =P

[KaceyC93]

@bjl257 This video was posted purely because at the time there wasn't one that did it. Lyric videos are actually popular on YouTube. Sorry, I forgot you made gold dust videos. You didn't click on me though, you clicked on the video. Bad grammar, yet again. How about you actually upload a video before attempting to criticise other peoples'. Enjoy your life.

[alexandrasppl]

@KaceyC93 Thanks so much for taking the time to post this!!! what a great tune for the summer!!

[00jonfor]

@KaceyC93, everybody acts like 10 men from the safety of their computers lol talk to each other like that in the real world you'd be lucky not to get slapped lol.. good luck you brave brave people!

[KaceyC93]

@00jonfor It was a general reaction at the time :3

I agree, everyone tries to act hard over a computer screen, because people are too full of cowardice to say anything face to face.

[Blashada]

@bjl257 Ok if you actually had the talent of singing you would look up this song and attempt to sing it, this is what people who can't seem to sing don't seem to get, singing is as uplifting as the touch of god, and this song in particular makes you want to make love to a women via the use of a microphone as she sweats and pampers to the sound of your voice, but I guess you could never understand that because you don't understand what true musical talent is.

[MaisieH1]

@bjl257 Why did you click on the video titled 'Beach Boys - God Only Knows (Lyrics)' if you didn't want lyrics.

Your arguement against Kacey is unstructured with terrible grammar, so until you make your own video with 'rare footage' Kacey has won this 'battle'.

:)

[eichbienyermaw]

@bjl257 is your idea of having fun going on to youtube and bad mouthing someone else video??? if u want a video with rare b&w footage go make one, twat!!!

[alexandrasppl]

@bjl257 YOU need to get a life! Someone should have kicked the shit out of you when you were in school?! if they already hadn't!!  hahaha

[stefalah]

@bjl257 LOOOOL what the hell is wrong with you?! calm down and enjoy the song instead of posting your opinion unnecessarily ¬_¬

[Legoairborne101]

@bjl257 you have a 2mm penis and have one testicle

[toby8stores]

@bjl257 Twat (no wait better bastard)

[KaceyC93]

@bjl257 Actually, you very articulate man, if you look at my profile, which any well educated person would do, it tells you I'm from the UK. So next time you attempt to be witty, please, do a good job of it. Oh and it's *Let me guess, you're an american with a college degree!*

Seriously advise you learn grammar.

[maverscomeback]

@KaceyC93 Well i appreciate you for putting the lyrics up because when the lyircs are there right in front of you and you listen along you kind of appreciate it more. It's reading a poem. So is right Kacey! bjl257 sound like a bit of a meff to me x

[bithot2nite]

@KaceyC93 Haha, cool KaceyC93...that seriously impressed me :-) Thumbs up. And I see you are from my home town too, good on ya, hun :-)

[RastaMastaKonTiki]

@KaceyC93 The irony here is that there are common elements of poor grammar throughout your post.

[KaceyC93]

@RastaMastaKonTiki All I can really notice is *it tells you that I'm from the UK. So, the next time you attempt to be witty..... Oh, and it's *Let me guess, you're an American with a college degree.

That's all I really notice looking back :3

[Kevin107ish]

This wipes the floor with any love song by the Beatles!

[emywem100]

@Kevin107ish Hush up.

They're both epic at love songs!

[KaceyC93]

@emywem100  I must admit, I'm more of a Beatles fan than anything else.

[emywem100]

@KaceyC93 I'm gonna have to agree with you on that one.

[Fuzzzie0Peachhez]

my parents used this song at their wedding, and i can't wait to use it at mine.

[greendayslipknot2011]

ahhhhhh. my favorite song by the Beach Boys. ive hit the play button like 20 times already. my second favorite is Wouldn't It Be Nice

[babalvg]

@surfertrojan that's good for you! but I think you're watching the wrong video... this has nothing to do with him

[KaceyC93]

@surfertrojan

 I'm really glad that you have your favourite 'artist'. His voice couldn't compare to The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Electric Light Orchestra, Queen or any of the old bands. They're the gods.

[greendayslipknot2011]

@surfertrojan why  r u commenting on something about justin beiber, when its not his video? go find a stupid justing beiber video and put ur comment there. and the beach boys r so much better than justin beaver face. he just cant compete with the beach boys, cause they r better

[OMGabba]

@surfertrojan nobody asked u ¬¬

[skip328]

@surfertrojan tell me, how old are you?

[ironbaby12]

@surfertrojan God only knows why you said that...

[PIECREST]

@surfertrojan trolling ftw

[Wolflord13]

@surfertrojan I pity you.

[geissler91]

@surfertrojan inbeforeautotune

[zinzilla]

@surfertrojan get ur ears cleaned up seriously...

[MystiqueStorm1990]

While I love all of the songs put out by Beach Boys, this one is my favorite :)

[BonnyDramaGirl]

This song makes me think of my best friend. We've been through everything together.

[LokiTheMisfit]

*sigh* music has declined so much since this era ~_~; There are still good musicians out there but you have to dig through a whole lot of crap plaguing the radio to get to it. Yet here was an era where good stuff actually was mainstream.

[wheeters81]

i sang this to my girlfriend of 12 years on a karioki

[thegirlleftover]

My mom died ten years ago, when I was still in high school. A few years later, I found one of her old cassette tapes in a box. When I played it, I found this song--and my mother's voice singing karaoke along with it. She was one of the most mentally ill people I have ever met, but she had the loveliest voice; I can hear her every time I listen to this song....

[munnyman444]

@thegirlleftover so nice you have to say it twice =(

[thegirlleftover]

@munnyman444

Sorry, I just realized I accidentally posted that twice!

my computer froze up as I was posting the first time, and I thought it hadn't gone through. Thanks for bringing that to my attention! :-)

[munnyman444]

@thegirlleftover its still a lovely story.

[VageVlogs]

press 7 :D

[wntw319]

[cubone109]

@Mrhotshot55 6 now man ..6 D:

[Ansuzie]

This song makes me cry. I almost wish I didn't love it so much.

[ericwizdom]

awesome

[Denise506]

Paul McCartney named "God Only Knows" as his all-time favorite song. McCartney has frequently said that it was the inspiration behind the seminal Beatles' album, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

[DoctorWhoTorchwood1]

I love you for putting this on here,

[KrayzeeBaybe]

Love this song my nanna's funeral song made a slide show nd everything

[x141louis]

true classic

[shewolfallie]

this song inspired the Beatles to write "Here There and Everywhere" It brought tears to Jhon Lennon and Paul McCartneys eyes that how good it is lol! Luv the Beach Boys

[Tommythecat01]

Definatly 1 of thier best!!!

[nyerShumom]

My Favorite Song of the 1960's!

[primomarino]

This song is at the end of the movie boogie nights. Great movie, great song.

[darred29]

We're thinking of taking a page from love, actually, and having this at our wedding!  :)

[dylanfinn1]

this song reminds me of the love of my life cos without her GOD ONLY KNOWS WHERE I´D BE!!!!!

[jcmeadows12]

This song has always reminded me of my mother. When i was very little she would sing it to me. She also died of cancer. 

[denidowi]

There's no doubt that Brian Wilson is some kinda Genius!

McCartney might have declared this [God Only Knows] the greatest song ever written ... Personally, I'd pay the most genius piece in pop history to another of the Beach Boys efforts: "Heroes and Villains". In my view, the Beach Boys were the only group who ever really mastered the famous psychedellic sound with some credence of balance

[themightyquinner123]

Paul McCartney called this the greatest song ever written...true story.

[shirgro1]

just makes you dance and sing this song!

awesome

[amadora79]

beautiful voice and lyrics

[Applemysteries]

I Love this song! i mean I'm not religious, but that doesn't mean I hate songs that mention god, because I don't. I love this song! :D
