Wouldn't it be nice if we were older?
Then we wouldn't have to wait so long
And wouldn't it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong?
Just putting this back on the top for everyone as a reminder
Devastated, and have so much love for Brian. He brought so much joy not only to my life, but the entire world- and we are all so much better because of it

RIP to Brian Wilson. The Beach Boys legend died at 82.
Paul McCartney has said “God Only Knows” is the greatest song ever written and one of the few to bring him to tears.
In 2000, McCartney inducted Wilson into the Songwriters Hall of Fame with a heartfelt speech:
“He wrote some music that when I played it, it made me cry and I don't quite know why. It wasn't necessarily the words or the music. There was just something so deep in it. There's only certain pieces of music that can do this to me and just reach it right down in me. I think it's a sign of great genius to be able to do that with a bunch of words and a bunch of notes.
This man deserves to be in the Hall of Fame that's for sure. So, thank you sir for everything you've done for me. For making me cry. For having that thing you can do with your music. You just put those notes and those harmonies together. Stick a couple of words over the top of it and you've got me any day."
