Impossible Orchestra - "God Only Knows" BBC Music Video Behind-The-Scenes:

The song's writer, Brian Wilson, is featured prominently along an incredible collection of stars that includes Pharrell, Emeli Sande, Elton John, Lorde, Coldplay's Chris Martin, Florence Welch, Kylie Minogue, Stevie Wonder, Jools Holland, Queen's Brian May, Jake Bugg, One Direction, Zane Lowe, The Pretenders' Chrissie Hynde, Dave Grohl, and Sam Smith.

Beyond the celebrity star power, the music is also phenomenal. While each singer only has about a line each, they all show off their unique personality and they each sound great. In addition to the vocal performances, Stevie Wonder's harmonica playing is a highlight as well as Brian May's guitar cameos.

Proceeds from sales of the song are being donated to BBC's Children In Need.
