“海滩男孩”对乐坛的贡献,并不在于他们创造的以描述美国黄金时代奢侈生活为内容的浮夸的冲浪音乐,而在于他们完成了一个和谐完整的男声和声体系,这对以后的乐队和声组合影响深远,乐队在这一方面的集大成之作,当属《宠物之声》专辑。专辑中优美整齐到天衣无缝的和声极具欣赏价值,专辑中的代表歌曲也是最流行的歌曲就是这首“岂不更好(Wouldn't It Be Nice)”。
岂不更好(Wouldn't It Be Nice)完成于1966年,却一直传唱不衰。它描绘的是少男少女希望与自己的恋人相依相慰,白头到老的这种纯真情感。不仅曲调清新,歌词也让人充满畅想。最近的亚当.桑德勒的新片《初恋50次》中取起作为贯穿全片的主题曲,也显得十分优美动人。
岂不更好(Wouldn't It Be Nice)歌词
Wouldn't it be nice if we were older Then we wouldn't have to wait so long And wouldn't it be nice to live together In the kind of world where we belong
You know its gonna make it that much better When we can say goodnight and stay together
Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up In the morning when the day is new And after having spent the day together Hold each other close the whole night through
Happy times together we've been spending I wish that every kiss was never ending Wouldn't it be nice
Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true Baby then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do We could be married And then we'd be happy
Wouldn't it be nice
You know it seems the more we talk about it It only makes it worse to live without it But lets talk about it Wouldn't it be nice
