[B] [Em]
[A#] One of the things that interested me [A] most about this project was the idea of bringing together so [F] many different styles [D#m] of music.
[G#] To [B] make so much diversity work [C#] within one piece of music was quite [Dm] a [G] challenge.
[A#] You know, [F#m] [C#m]
[F#] I feel like I've taken a thousand piece puzzle and I've [F#m] just thrown it in the air.
[C] [D] I'm standing there trying to grab [Bm] them as they come down and put them in place.
[F#m] Think of it almost like a solo in a way.
[B] Yeah, it's your moment.
[E] It's Ethan's [C] choice, this song, and I think [E] he's chosen it brilliantly.
It's one of those [A#] songs which connects [A] with everybody.
Everybody gets the significance [E] of God Only Knows, and that's what we're [F#] trying to do with BBC Music.
We're trying to make [E] it feel like it's [D] an all-encompassing brand for everybody.
[Bm] It's great to be able to record [F#m] someone on the other side of the world.
[B] Strangest thing ever.
I know, it's [E] really weird, isn't it?
Once you [F#] start going into a song like we have been today, [E] you come upon a new respect.
[C#m] It's beautifully [A] constructed and quite [E] enigmatic, really.
It is this [F#m] kind of heart-swelling, [A] emotional, [G] stirring [Dm] sound, [Am] this [Bm] record.
I think [A] that's what draws people in.
[G] [Dm] [Em]
[C] [G] [A]
They're [Bm] [G#]
[A] [Bm] singing for no other [E] reason other [A] than for the joy of the music and for the joy of doing [D#] it,
which to me is the best reason [D] to do it.
God [A] only knows what I'd be [Bm] without you.
[A] It's a privilege to be able to go [D] in there with some people who know what they're doing
[A] and work on a great [Bm] song.
It doesn't get any better [A] than that.
[D] The [A]
song [Bm] for me expresses [A] absolute necessity of love.
[C#] Everybody [D] loves a song about love.
I'm very [A] impressed with the fact that somebody said it's taken a [Bm] year to do.
I like the fact that it's got a nice [A] Ben Hur ring to it.
[D] That's kind of what BBC Music's all about, [A] bringing together just an [Bm] insane diversity of [A] music talent.
All in BBC could do [D] it, really.
It's a great journey, I [A] think, musically.
God only knows what I'd be [Bm] without [A] you.
[D] God only knows what I'd be without you.
