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...!
