“God Only Knows” from the 79-year-old, Inglewood, California-born artist’s new LP, At My Piano:

Wilson, who has publicly struggled with mental health issues at times, said in a press release about the new record, “We had an upright piano in our living room, and from the time I was 12 years old I played it each and every day. I never had a lesson, I was completely self-taught. I can’t express how much the piano has played such an important part in my life. It has bought me comfort, joy, and security. It has fueled my creativity as well as my competitive nature. I play it when I’m happy or feeling sad. I love playing for people and I love playing alone when no one is listening. Honestly, the piano and the music I create on it has probably saved my life.”

Wilson’s new LP will also feature renditions of “Wouldn’t It Be Nice,” “In My Room,” “Don’t Worry Baby,” “California Girls,” “Surf’s Up” and “Good Vibrations.”
