GOD ONLY KNOWS
THE BEACH BOYS
SONGWRITERS: Brian Wilson & T.Asher
COUNTRY: U.S.A.
ALBUM: Pet Sounds
LABEL: CAPITOL
GENRE: SURF MUSIC
YEAR: 1964

Foi no dia 10 de março de 1966 que Brian Wilson deu início às gravações de uma das grandes maravilhas da música pop. Composta em parceria com Tony Asher (letrista e coautor de várias faixas do álbum Pet Sounds), “God Only Knows” também apresentou o lado mais espiritual do líder dos Beach Boys, fugindo dos temas surfistas que marcaram os primeiros hits do grupo.
Brian Wilson planejava gravar os vocais de “God Only Knows”. Mas acabou mudando de ideia depois de ouvir as gravações com os arranjos.
“Dei a música para Carl porque eu estava à procura de uma ternura, uma doçura que eu sabia que Carl tinha, assim como sua voz. Ele trouxe dignidade para a música e as palavras, através dele, não se tornaram [meras] letras, e sim palavras”.
                           - Brian Wilson
Hoje, “God Only Knows” é considerada uma das músicas mais bonitas de todos os tempos. Paul McCartney já declarou (mais de uma vez) a influência de Brian Wilson e Pet Sounds sobre o álbum Revolver, dos Beatles. Reza a lenda que “Here, There And Everywhere” teria sido inspirada em “God Only Knows”.
I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it

God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me

God only knows what I'd be without you

God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Well life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me

God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows

God only knows what I'd be without you

London calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls
London calling now don't look to us
Phony Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling see we ain't got no swing
'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing

The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
Meltdown expected and the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running but I have no fear
London is drowning and I live by the river

London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, you can go it alone
London calling upon the zombies of death
Quit holding out and draw another breath
London calling and I don't wanna shout
But when we were talking I saw you nodding out
London calling see we ain't got no highs
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes

The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
Engines stop running and the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error but I have no fear
London is drowning and I, I live by the river

Now get this
London calling yes I was there too
An' you know what they said? Well some of it was true
London calling at the top of the dial
And after all this, won't you give me a smile?


I never felt so much a'like, a'like, a'like

What day is it and in what month
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up
And I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

'Cause it's you and me and all of the people
With nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

All of the things that I want to say
Just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping in words
You got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here

'Cause it's you and me and all of the people
With nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

There's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right

'Cause it's you and me and all of the people
With nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of...
You and me and all of the people
With nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

What day is it
And in what month

This clock never seemed so alive

Thank you for this moment
I've gotta say how beautiful you are
Of all the hopes and dreams I could have prayed for
Here you are
If I could have one dance forever
I would take you by the hand
Tonight it's you and I together
I'm so glad I'm your man
And if I lived a thousand years
You know I never could explain
The way I lost my heart to you
that day
but if destiny decided I should look the other way
then the world would never know
the greatest story ever told
and did I tell you that I love you
tonight
I don't hear the music
When I'm looking in your eyes
But I feel the rhythm of your body
Close to mine
It's the way we touch, it soothes me
It's the way we'll always be
your kiss your pretty smile
you know i'd die for
oh baby
you're all i need
And if I lived a thousand years
You know I never could explain
The way I lost my heart to you
that day
but if destiny decided I should look the other way
then the world would never know
the greatest story ever told
and did I tell you that I love you
just how much i really need you
did I tell you that I love you
tonight
tonight
And if I lived a thousand years
You know I never could explain
The way I lost my heart to you
that day
but if destiny decided I should look the other way
then the world would never know
the greatest story ever told
and did I tell you that I love you
just how much I really need you
did I tell you that I love you tonight.
