This one has my heart. I love the Beach Boys and their amazing music and harmonies. This song is a perfect example of both. Plus it is simply and beautifully written.

Music is my passion and sanity but unfortunately is also also my torment and preoccupation. That is how I can best describe it. I am lost and absorbed in it. I feel like I am in a studio recording the songs as I listen. I live the lyrics. I consume the music. I become what I hear.

It really is a beautiful song.

I'm thinking of watching the movie about Brian Wilson, this weekend. The one with John Cusack, I've forgotten the title. It looks a bit intense and possibly triggering, but I'm interested.
Thanks for this!

Yes, as Ripose mentioned, the film is titled Love and Mercy. I saw it a few weeks ago and loved it. I adore the Beach Boys. I place them in the same category as the Beatles. Pet Sounds is one of my favorite albums. I knew nothing of Brian Wilson's life prior to the movie. His life is sadly beautiful, the movie, also sadly beautiful. I highly recommend it. I related to it well. I did find it entirely triggering in parts; it is incredibly close to life with mental illness. There is a scene where Brian is sitting at a table with his wife and numerous friends eating dinner. The clanking of the silverware overpowers him and he simply cannot cope with it. Everything about the scene, from the timing to the acting, is brilliant and perfect. I highly recommend this movie! If you are a fan of The Beach Boys and/or Brian Wilson, beware, you will be sucked deeper in.

Here is the scene (caution, it may be VERY triggering):

The link didn't work but I looked up the song. It's good. I've never heard Demi Lovato sing. She has a strong voice.

Fun fact for those who don't know (which is probably very few)- Demi Lavato has bipolar disorder.
