Additional Infos As Brian notes, the song was written on November 23, 1963, only hours after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Brian had just broken up with his first serious girlfriend. This melancholy ballad and beautiful lyric perfectly capture that feeling of loss.

The song originally was intended as the B-side of "Fun Fun Fun" and was started at the same session as "FFF" -- six days before work began on "Fools."
