"God Only Knows" (Beach Boys cover) - Matthew Jordan

A cover of my very favorite song EVER, "God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys... with a shout-out to Jonatha Brooke, whose cover gave me inspiration for some of the vocal parts. As usual, all instruments and vocals were performed by me. Brian Wilson is one of my musical heroes - I hope you guys love this song as much as I do! :)

Oh wow. Congratulations. This must be the best cover of this song I have seen so far (and I've seen several, just saying). If I lived near you, I would gladly play the viola for anything you wanted to record :) Way to go, greetings from Colombia ;)

@Isomoth Aw thank you so much! This is one of my favorite songs. Had a lot of fun making this video and I'm so glad you enjoyed it :)

Great cover, but you have a serious Matt LeBlanc look going on.

@kvnthw Hey! Thanks so much for the support. I did use hollowed out coconut shells for the "clip clop" percussion sound. Believe it or not, I actually got them when I saw a production of the musical "Spamalot". Unfortunately I don't know where you can find them, but I'm sure a google search will turn up some results. Good luck! :)
