O álbum Pet Sounds, geralmente considerado o segundo disco mais importante da história, perdendo apenas para a produção que o teve como inspiração – Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, dos Beatles – tem várias pequenas obras primas. Dentre as faixas menos comentadas está I Know There’s An Answer (Brian Wilson/Mike Love/Terry Sachen).
Tão brilhante quanto a melodia e o arranjo, é a letra, que fala daquelas pessoas que acham que podem resolver tudo sozinhas e fingem estarem cercadas de amigos. Que se mostram calmos, quando na verdade estão sempre desconfortavelmente tensos e passam as noites com seus pensamentos vazios.
Quem não conhece Pet Sounds precisa ouvi-lo logo.
Lembre: sempre há uma resposta.
I know so many people who think they can do it alone
They isolate their head and stay in their safety zone
Now what can you tell them
And what can you say that won’t make them defensiveI know there’s an answer
I know now but I had to find it by myselfThey come on like they’re peaceful
But inside they’re so uptight
They trip through their day
And waste all their thoughts at night
Now how can I come on
And tell them the way that they live could be betterI know there’s an answer
I know now but I had to find it by myselfNow how can I come on
And tell them the way that they live could be betterI know there’s an answer
I know now but I had to find it by myself
