  • «Wouldn't It Be Nice» es la canción apertura del álbum Pet Sounds de 1966, de la banda de rock estadounidense The Beach Boys. Fue compuesto, arreglado y producido por Brian Wilson, con letras por parte de Tony Asher. Algunas décadas después, Mike Love fue incluido en los créditos de la canción por sus contribuciones en la coda.​ Fue lanzado en sencillo dos meses después de la edición del álbum, con "God Only Knows" como lado B.​ La letra describe una pareja de enamorados lamentándose por ser demasiado joven para casarse, fantaseando sobre lo agradable que sería si fueran adultos. Al igual que otras pistas para Pet Sounds, Wilson construyó el Wall of Sound usando una variedad de instrumentos no asociados a la música pop de ese entonces, luego se registró el complejo arreglo cantado por el grupo, a partir de las especificaciones exactas de Wilson. El sitio Pitchfork Media incluyó esta canción en el séptimo puesto de su lista de "The 200 Greatest Songs of the 1960s".​ (es)

  • "Wouldn't It Be Nice" is a song by the American rock band the Beach Boys and the opening track from their 1966 album Pet Sounds. Written by Brian Wilson, Tony Asher, and Mike Love, it is distinguished for its sophisticated Wall of Sound-style arrangement and refined vocal performances, and is regarded among the band's finest songs. With its juxtaposition of joyous-sounding music and melancholic lyrics, it is considered a formative work of power pop, and with respect to musical innovation, progressive pop. The song was inspired by Wilson's confused infatuations for his sister-in-law, who projected an "innocent aura" that he wished to capture in "Wouldn't It Be Nice". Lyrically, the song describes a young couple who feel empowered by their monogamous relationship and fantasize about the romantic freedom they would earn as adults. Like the other tracks on Pet Sounds, it subverted listeners' expectations, as past Beach Boys songs had normally celebrated superficial conceits such as material possessions and casual flings. Wilson produced the record between January and April 1966 with his band and 16 studio musicians who variously played drums, timpani, glockenspiel, trumpet, saxophones, accordions, guitars, pianos, and upright bass. The harp-like instrument heard in the introduction is a 12-string mando-guitar plugged directly into the recording console. One section of the song engages in a ritardando, a device that is rarely used in pop music. The band struggled to sing the multiple vocal parts to Wilson's satisfaction, and the song ultimately took longer to record than any other track on the album. "Wouldn't It Be Nice" was released as a single in July and peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100. It has occasionally appeared in the soundtracks of films such as the 1989 documentary Roger & Me, where it was used to underscore visuals of economic devastation. As of 2021, it is the band's most streamed song on Spotify, and it is listed among the thousand-most highest rated songs of all time on Acclaimed Music. (en)

  • Wouldn't It Be Nice è un brano musicale del gruppo pop rock statunitense Beach Boys, pubblicato nel 1966 sull'album Pet Sounds.La canzone venne composta e prodotta da Brian Wilson, con testi di Tony Asher, Mike Love e Wilson stesso. Nel documentario Endless Harmony, Brian Wilson descrive la canzone come "ciò che tutti i bambini pensano prima o poi... non sarebbe bello essere più grandi, per poter così fuggire via di casa e sposarsi?" A proposito di Wouldn't It Be Nice, Wilson dichiarò: «Ascoltate le fisarmoniche rockeggianti e le eteree chitarre nell'introduzione. Tony ed io avevamo visualizzato una scena in mente. Sentivamo una sensazione nei nostri cuori, una specie di vibrazione. La mettemmo in musica, ed essa trovò autonomamente la sua strada sul nastro. Fummo veramente soddisfatti di quella canzone». Brian Wilson utilizzò il titolo della canzone per intitolare la sua autobiografia. Durante l'assenza di Brian Wilson dal gruppo, il brano veniva eseguito frequentemente da Al Jardine alla voce solista. Pitchfork ha classificato la canzone alla posizione numero 7 nella lista delle "200 migliori canzoni degli anni sessanta". (it)

  • I can remember in "Wouldn't It Be Nice" that we'd both had the experience of being too young to have what the rest of the world would call a serious relationship with a girl and yet wanting to be able to have it taken seriously. [...] it was autobiographical from the point of view of both of us. We were writing about what we both knew and had experienced. (en)
  • The one song that sticks out in my mind the most is "Wouldn't It Be Nice." Brilliant parts. It was hard to sing without getting tears in your eyes. We all seem to remember singing it a lot. Many times. Many days. (en)
