Sweet Caroline Lyrics
Great, fun song. I love the way it builds into an explosion; from the very beginning there's a sense of moving toward something big that's just going to knock your socks off. It fits the words really well - something like a love affair begins in a small way and then before you know it it's just this big huge beautiful happy thing.
"The hands, touchin' hands" part gives me the goosebumps because there's such a sense of anticipation that builds and builds and builds until BAM! Sweet Caroline, bum bum bum - he chorus is incredibly infectious.
There's a cool little old place in NE Minneapolis called Nye's - it's famous if you're from around there. There's a piano bar where people sit and sing along to songs this little old lady who's been there for like 8000 years plays. I've heard this song done there and it's a lot of fun with a crowd. I'd love to be in Fenway to experience that some time.
I can't listen to this song without getting a smile on my face and feeling happy.
And yes - it's about loving someone who loves you back and you can be together for always and everything is perfect. sigh It doesn't always feel this way, but boy when it does...!
Definitely a favorite of mine. This song says is all when it comes to loving somone.
My parents named my little sister Caroline after this song, so naturally it means a lot to me.
Extremely sweet song about a relationship he didn't expect to last, but did. I love it.
I like this song cause it's got my great grandma and my middle name in it and it's a good song
this song makes me have to sing. it gets caught in my head and i love that!
Don't know what it means, but in the 8th inning at every Boston Red Sox home game they play it, and the whole crowd stands and sings, its pretty amazing to be there for
Yeah, they do play it in the 8th inning and we all sing. It's the best. I miss fenway. Great place.
Great drinking tune
This song makes me happy like no other! Loooove it.
As for the meaning of the song, I think he's singing about being happy with a fling. Just a lighthearted song, and it's hard not to sing along. I always wondered why everyone knew this song around here, and now I know. I live in the Boston suburbs but have been to Fenway park only once. Those tickets are too expensive. Such is the downfall of having a champion team, an insanely loyal fan base and a small ball park.
