Man, I just can't get over how well you can do this. It defies imagination. I've had a fantasy for over 40 years of doing something like this. I cannot tell you how HAPPY I am that someone actually COULD do it, and DID do it! It is so beautiful and rich, and you have just the voice to pull it off. I appreciate the complete absense of embellishment also. Most could not resist that. But what you have accomplished is a real tribute to BW!! Thank you a thousand times!

@gregormann7 thank you so much for the kind words (here and on my 'Til I Die video)! I'm a huge, huge admirer and student of Brian's music (it's been almost all I've listened to since I discovered Pet Sounds a few years ago), and it means the world to me to know that others appreciate my humble tributes. as far as the embellishments go, it's always a rare moment when i hear a cover that makes a musical choice that's better than Brian's original. hard to improve on perfection!

You are INCREDIBLY talented. I also listened to you tackle the very difficult "Heroes And Villains" and "Our Prayer." Beautiful, beautiful!!!! I wonder if any of the Boys themselves have heard you. I'd love to hear you take a stab at "And Your Dream Comes True" which I noticed is on YouTube at v=xh7ZVCdbVRg

Stunnibgly true to the original masterpiece. It's true that to elect any embelleshment in any cover of this would get in the way of the equisite harmonic backdrop. I know that what drew me to the Beach Boys and Brian's works way back when was the background, even though i was not probably aware of that fact, i think our hearts are in the same place with these works,a dn I feel extremely fortunate to be alive at the same time that Brian wilson is alive and continuing to create.

This is an awesome cover. You really did Brian justice and I am glad to see such a great version of this song. :]
