• "Til I Die"
  I'm a leaf on a windy day
  Pretty soon, I'll be blown away
  How long will the wind blow?
  How long will the wind blow?
  Until I die...
• "Caroline, No". Brian Wilson wrote it about an unrequited love of his.
  • The They Might Be Giants cover is also quite heartwrenching, John Flansburgh can sure pull of any sad love song.
• Also: "Surfer Girl", "God Only Knows", "Don't Worry Baby", and especially "In My Room".
• Despite the rather cheerful music, "When I Grow Up to Be a Man" is this to those unsure of where they will be when they reach adulthood.
• The entire second side of Today! (well, maybe not the "Bull Session"... unless you think about Carl and Dennis), starting with "Please Let Me Wonder."
• The entire three-part "suite" that ends That's Why God Made the Radio. If it is indeed the final Beach Boys album, it's hard to imagine a more fitting conclusion than "Summer's Gone", fading into rain at the end...
  Summer's gone
  I'm gonna sit and watch the waves
  We laugh, we cry
  We live, then die
  And dream about our yesterday
