Ipod Essentials #76: "Wouldn't It Be Nice"--The Beach Boys

It wouldn't be a summer without this quintessential band, would it? The Beach Boys, in their prime, created simple tunes with complex melodies. Lyrics were about cars, summer, surfing, and of course, love.

This song about longing makes me long for happier times, when I wasn't worried about job security or finances (Yesterday's routine trip to the mechanic turned into an expensive day.) The lazy days of summer are now rare events.

Will we ever get these days back again? Or will our technologically busy-busy-worry times keep us feeling this void?
