It's Beach Boys Week: Part V -- Okay, Okay, I Promise to Lay Off the Beach Boys Shit For the Forseeable Future, But You Gotta Hear This One So Indulge Me!

Alrighty then -- please behold in breathless wonder as some kid named Kent Nishimura does a solo acoustic version of The Beach Boys' "God Only Knows."

My god, that's gorgeous. And unlike classical guy Göran Söllscher, whose cover of The Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby" I posted yesterday, the kid's doing it all on a conventional six-string guitar.

Damn, but I hate talented people. That said, you can find out more about the kid at his website over here.

And okay -- I promise we return to music NOT written by people from Hawthorne, California on the morrow, and for at least the next week and a half after that. 😎

I give up and am going to sell all my guitars. This was beautiful.

A beautiful tune done with splendid feeling.
