My heart was not ready to lose @BrianWilsonLive, not at this time. Musical genius is so rare. His loss will be felt throughout the world, and his music will live forever. Here's one of his most beautiful songs about his life. Love & Mercy, Brian. 💔 youtu.be/lJsrBBMcAmo?...

#CarlsChallenge The Last One A song to say farewell to 2024 This song - one of JB's best - is more for all of you than for the year. You've all "made it so hard to forget." Always remember that, "I haven't stopped lovin' you yet..." Love to all. 🥰 youtu.be/xn2gMdxlQBc?...
