About this episode
Diallo and LUXXURY swim in the Beach Boys’ achingly beautiful ballad “God Only Knows,” a song that packs emotional vulnerability, baroque instrumentation, and studio innovation into just two and a half minutes. They break down Brian Wilson’s singular vision, Carl Wilson’s tender vocal, and revisit the long-lost sax solo left on the cutting room floor.
