agree with blue waves. Lyrically it's a pretty straight forward love song. Melodically, it's gorgeous, so props to Barry/Greenwich/Spector. I don't know how popular either version was back in the day, but it deserves more credit. I'd not heard it until I went on a Beach Boys binge this year. Vocally, Carl is at the top of his game here, just beautiful. I've heard that this is regarded as the point where Carl effectively assumed the position as musical leader within the band.
