The song is known for its bitter-sweet tune, a creative harmonic scheme, and subtle arrangement. Many have claimed it to be a landmark triumph of the soft rock genre. Critics allege that the song was inspired by the kind of material Brian Wilson crafted for the Beach Boys on the classic Pet Sounds album. The cheerful melody of the verses is counteracted by the more haunting minor modes of the bridge.
