I wish I didn't have to run this today.

This is my favorite Brian Wilson song. I'll start with a cover you probably haven't heard. The second cover is one I've posted before. The Fendertones are a gem.

If you've never seen it, I recommend that you watch the movie "Saved."

Lyrics:

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

This song features on our album "Forever".
