865 The Beach Boys “Caroline, No” 1966

Brian Wilson “identified one of the key themes, when he recalled the sad and reflective end of the album with ‘Caroline No,’ ‘Oh it was (sad), but you know life goes on. So you get knocked on your butt. I got knocked on my butt a couple of times, but you get back up and you keep working. I mean, like there’s always the chance of a better day. Giving up is only for idiots” (Kingsley Abbot, The Beach Boys Pet Sounds, 2001). The Pet Sounds album is listed on the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress.
