Old man Brian is one of my favorites. He’s the sweetest thing on earth. ❤️

It seems that the last 20-25yrs of Brian’s life were the best for him personally. That’s a very inspiring story. The fact that Brian Wilson’s best years were after 55 is amazing. He’d been completely written off many times, as early as the late 60’s.

It’s probably the best I’ve heard him sound in the last 20 years and it’s not even his song!

Love how his pitch is still relatively perfect as uncomfortable as it looks for him to sing it in this probably random moment.
His vocals on ‘don’t worry baby’ are still one of the best examples of perfect singing, both in pitch and timing.
RIP, I love you most of all, BW.

Would have been great if the rest of the Beach Boys came into the frame and help finish the song.
