A sample of the genius that was Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys.

This broadcast focuses on the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra versions. Although the originals need no edit to be understood as cosmic and divine, these versions might provide beings with new ways into such timeless ideas.

Once, when describing the music of The Beach Boys, Wilson used the phrase “Teenage Symphony to God,” a beautiful summation that mirrors my first experience of this music. One core thought. These are hymns.

Thank you for everything, Brian.
