"When I go to the keyboard, I feel holy, like an angel over my head."

AP story on CNN has some great interview bits from Brian Wilson about his upcoming album, That Old Lucky Sun. He speaks about his writing process:

"When I go to the keyboard, I feel holy, like an angel over my head. I feel very holy. When we did (the Beach Boys hit) 'God Only Knows,' I felt holy about that too. A godly something comes through me," Wilson says, motioning with his hands. "I'm always thinking about melodies. The melodies come from my brain, and my keyboards. I play a really pleasant keyboard. It sounds so pleasant it makes me want to write melodies."
