Wouldn’t It Be Nice
no. 4 song of 1966
are they more sophisticated now or more jaded?
more cynical? more realistic?
would this no longer resonate with a 17-year-old?
is the 17-year-old of today so different from then?
recognition of the naivete, of course
could we get past that
to muse: a deep young love in a better world
on some level
below the level of sophistication
below the level of cynicism
below the level of realism
could we allow it to resonate?
