Michael Buble singing 'God Only Knows'
« on: November 23, 2016, 11:01:14 AM »
I caught a bit of Michael Buble singing the old Beach Boys hit, 'God Only Knows', a couple of weeks ago and found myself a bit choked up by his interpretation of the song, his phrasing and slightly broken voice with  orchestral accompaniment. 

Watched it again on youtube: there are a few videos, one of which shows him recording the song in a studio with big windows onto the street and passers by looking through the window and taking photos.  Each time I saw and heard it I was profoundly moved.  It is repetitive, goes on a bit after a while, but regardless of that, I think it is beautiful.

It wasn't until during the last week that I read about his little boy having liver cancer.

This is the Children in Need extract with him in it.  I didn't actually see that part of the programme at the time but the song is the same:

I thought this was going to be a thread about Michael Bubble singing a song and nobody being able to recognise it.
