Brian Wilson’s final album: “Life goes on and on, like your favorite song.”
Taylor Swift’s most recent album: “Life is a song, it ends when it ends.”
Also, that same song, “Opalite,” has a vocal reference to Ronnie Spector’s “Be My Baby,” famously Brian’s favorite song.

What it really is? Her offering a tool she’s used to the rest of us to help survive bullying.
