My daughter suffers with schizophrenia and she watched this film and she "That's exactly how I feel". She totally related to brian After years of hell and misdiagnosis and the wrong medication. She finally found the right medication for her many different problems with her illnesses. 34 now shes been stable for 4 yrs.

Very good interviewer. He made Brian feel quite relaxed and secure.Thanks for a very nice clip!

I wanna meet Brian so badly. He’s really the reason why I wanna make music like the way he did. It’s super complicated yea, but I wanna do it

Don’t you love Brian’s “antennae”? The way he can feel a person out.. he knows for sure what good vibrations and bad vibrations are.. like the dog in his whole spiel about how good vibrations came about.. love you Brian ❤️

Good interviewer. Brian in a good mood. Screenwriter answered the questions in a very sensible way. I am happy when I see Brian surrounded by people who love him and are supportive of him. And yes- harmony. Beautiful melodies, instrumentation, arrangements. He wrote words to a number of songs. I am glad he collaborated with other tunesmiths for words also. I enjoy singing Brian’s songs. We need to keep performing his music to keep it alive.

What a great interview! Great interviewer! Very respectful and caring for Brian Wilson as well as very interested in him as an interviewee! Great to see that it went so well

What a blessing to have an interviewer show the respect Brian deserves - kind, not patronizing.

Wonderfully sensitive and respectful interview.

Serious props to the interviewer. Killed it dude.

Very good interviewer! A gentleman!

I am one of the biggest Beach Boys / Brian Wilson fans ever. I connect so deeply with their music since I was young. I too suffer with mental health issues. I am lost on what to do, I’ve tried different meds & help; but nothing has really helped. I feel so lost & alone again right now with it all. Love you Brian

I still believe in you, Brian.❤️

Brian, I was 40+ years old, before I found out I had a behavior issue. ADHD. But, been dealing (or not) all of my life. Brian, you have been someone I looked up to, since I was about 7 years old. Your, and your brother's music, has been in my life since 1965. ADHD, if not treated, (for 40+ years) leads to depression. (Or, I have a side diagnosis of depression.) But, The Beach Boys, have been supporting me, for most of that time. If I could, I'd thank you, personally. Already have tickets for the June 7th concert, in Phoenix. I can only think of one band, decent enough, to play supplement to Chicago. They should be playing backup to YOUR band! Both are well loved groups, so we have a GREAT night of music to look forward to. steve

Love him! A gentle man who has earned every good thing that happens.

What a. life. 2 make the kind of music he did. It has endured the test of time. Then 2 hav a 2nd career still in music & 2 still break barriers comin 4ward about his mistakes & triumphs like they ptd out many others didn't survive. But now an advocate 4 makin mental illness less taboo & putting it out there 2 help others. Letting peo kno its real but u can survive. Thru Love & Mercy. Smile.

Mike Love must be the one who disliked this

I watched love and mercy tonight and wow, Brian has been through so much….he is wonderful and bless his wife …

Brian, you make me happy. God bless you.

Very good interview god bless Brian.

wonderful interview of the genius Brian Wilson ...thanks

This is one of the most sensitive and intelligent interviews with BW I've heard. The interviewer has tremendous patience with Brian's often laconic responses but by the end, it's clear that Brian respected him and opened up a bit. This is a model of good interviewing. I don't think Terry Gross could have done better.

I'm lying in bed just like Bryan Wilson did.

Brian must be fed up of talking about the same thing over and over again.

This is one of my favorite interviews with Brian. ❤️

Too short! Finally, someone who asks Brian ‘the real questions’.

I think that most creative people tend to be (lack of a better word) melancholy.. and the best way to release it as it is for me, is to create some kind of art. I cook for art

Very nice interview....great host who asked appropriate questions and excellent discussion with the screenwriter of Love and Mercy. Thanks for uploading.

I saw brian ,s life film and i cried and at the end of the film that he was now married and happy and a father❤❤❤❤❤

What great guys. Enjoyed spending time listening to this. Brian is animated, the script writer is sensitive to the subject and the interviewer has logical questions that didn’t make me cringe with embarrassment

Best interviewer Congrats!

Sure love Brian Wilson. What a sweet soul. God bless you Brian.

This was a great film and Brian had a incredible yet devastating life

Brian thank you

Thanks Brian! I wouldn't be the type of songwriter that I am today if it wasn't for you!

Good driven interview.

I know he’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I think he is extraordinarily brave.

Brian...may I add Both Father/Parent and Gentleman to your remembrances...

Maybe THIS is his time .. maybe WE’RE ready 4 his genius. I’m biased ; have always zeroed in on the Pet Sounds & Smile portion of his discography. Uno, u havvan abusive father, have ur musical genius rejected by Powers That Were including internal dissent, mix in the mid-late 60s, drug culture & u’d .. aaghh, float off too. Harmony, open musical genius & bldg on musical history is his legacy secured. 2 b sure some of his genius was inherited from musical parents. Thx Brian👌

Well Sir Paul has good taste. God Only Knows is my favorite Beach Boys song too. 😁

Yay for Brian feeling better

Its so great more n more talking about mental illness its a terrible thing to live with .you lose friends ,family .the stigma terrible

classy interview!

If only Syd Barrett did the same…

Paul dano playing him? It should be good

Every interviewer wants Brian to describe his “process”. I feel like it’s ineffable. It just is.

So many , Musicians today have Mental and Drug problems.

menul health... menul illness

When Landy worked with Brian he helped him to be healthy and Brian never looked so good. Can't deny that. So, I'm not sure that Landy deserves all this bad press as to the harm that he did to Brian. Nothing is perfect. Landy saved Brian from the worst direction in which he was heading and he deserves accolades for bringing Brian out of the hell he was in both physically and mentally. Let's stop demonizing a man who turned things around for Brian. Not an easy thing to do when someone is on that freight train to the abyss of mental and physical total collapse.

Mike love > Brian Wilson
