The 1966 Song That Leaves Paul McCartney in Tears - "God Only Knows" by the Beach Boys!

Paul McCartney is moved to tears by the Beach Boys' "God Only Knows" (1966). The *Pet Sounds* track is one of the ones that moves him the most. McCartney said, "It's one of the few songs that reduces me to tears every time I hear it." He praised Brian Wilson's genius for delicate melody and complex harmonies. The lyrics talk about love in a simple but profound way. McCartney and Wilson admired each other, competing amicably. They sang together in 2002.
