'Carol, I Know' was the original title, written about an ex of Tony Asher's. She had moved to New York and cut her hair. The B side was 'Summer Means New Love', which was an instrumental from 'Summer Days And Summer Nights'. I still think this is Brian's greatest melody, with perfect lyrics by Tony Asher.
OMG, this song shatters my heart into a million pieces. Every guy out there has a "Caroline" in his life. These songs bring me back in time to a much better place.
This song is so poignant, Brian and Tony Asher hit a homerun with the lyrics. In order to fully appreciate how absolutely perfect this song is, just listen to it performed by America and Timothy B. Schmidt.
I bought the 45 when this was released back in the 60's, it only had Brian Wilson credited as the artist. I believe on the flip side of the single was a Beach Boy song but don't recall with one.
135 seconds of sheer perfection. The melody and the harmony of this song will never cease to amaze me.
Brian Wilson is right up there with the world's greatest songwriters and Caroline No still gets to me every time I play it
Dammit! Everytime this song floats up in my head, its stuck there for weeks! Masterpiece!

At 1:22, Brian in his "smart glasses" phase during the Pet Sounds sessions!
I love the music, and think of this song when I get my hair cut.
I hope your stylist isn't named Caroline.
