The world lost Brian Wilson on June 11, 2025. We have returned to pay special tribute to our favorite artist, publishing this episode on the occasion of his 83rd birthday.

We share our thoughts and spotlight some songs as we attempt to honor him to the best of our ability,

This is it! Our series finale! We wrap up the way we started by comparing a couple of individual songs.

Summer's Gone, the final track from the final Beach Boys album (2012), versus Now & Then, the 2023 single from The Beatles. Both songs serve as farewells and see the bands wrapping up their discographies with style and class.

Which song will we pick as the winner?
