When Brian Wilson heard The Beatles Rubber Soul album, it inspired and challenged him to create an album of his own that would stand as an equal. And he pulled it off. Universally considered one of the greatest albums of all time, Pet Sounds is a testament to Brian's genius as a songwriter, arranger & producer.  

The album includes some all-time classics like "God Only Knows" and "Wouldn't it Be Nice", but on this episode, I'd like to focus on one of my favorites on the record-- "You Still Believe in Me".  

Like most of the songs on Pet Sounds, this is a very personal song, a confession of a young man who knows he's failing as a husband, but can't help himself. Brian's vocal is pure, honest, and perfect. And when those harmonies come in... I melt. Let's listen together.
