Beach Boys — He Almost Called It Fred Only Knows

That near-miss became "God Only Knows" — the Pet Sounds ballad Paul McCartney called the greatest song ever written. This is the story of how a song nearly buried on a B-side became one of the most quietly influential recordings in pop music history, and how its meaning changed forever after Brian Wilson's passing in 2025. 📺 The Missing Track — The music stories nobody told you. 🎵 Listen to the song: 🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/17QTsL... 🍎 Apple Music:   / god-only-knows   ▶️ YouTube Music:    • God Only Knows (Stereo)
