Wouldnt it be nice is such an amazing piece of art. Grew up hearing it, never listening to the lyrics. Thought it was fun. As an adult finally paid attention to the lyrics one day and they knocked me off my feet. The happiest most upbeat song is really singing about something not quite there, an ideal, but real, something to be grasped and lost…or let go…

What a genius to be able to pull that song off.

As a young kid, I loved the Beach Boys, mostly associated it with cars and surfboards and silly love songs. It hits different a few decades later, especially that song. "Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray, it might come true"... oof.
