"God Only Knows" is a song by the American rock band #theBeachBoys from their 1966 album #PetSounds. Written by #BrianWilson and #TonyAsher, it is a #baroque-style #loveSong distinguished for its harmonic innovation and complexity, unusual instrumentation, and subversion of typical #popularMusic conventions, both lyrically and musically. It is often praised as one of the greatest songs of all time and as the Beach Boys' finest record.
