My early pandemic project was to record live covers & re-arrangements of the entire Pet Sounds album on instagram, and when I got to God Only Knows I was stunned. I’d learned the verse & chorus chord progressions and things were going great, but at the bridge it fell apart. I knew it was the verse progression repeated, but it wasn’t resolving into the final verse like I knew it should. That’s when I checked the chords more closely and realized there was a key change at the bridge that felt so natural I missed it completely. Without that piece there’s no way to connect the two sections. “Musical sudoku” is right on.
