I Know There's an Answer
"I Know There's an Answer" is a song by American rock band the Beach Boys, taken from their 1966 album ''Pet Sounds''. It was composed and produced by Brian Wilson in lyrical collaboration with bandmate Mike Love and the group's road manager Terry Sachen. The song was written as a reaction to Wilson's experiences with lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), as he explained, "I had gotten into that kind of thing. I guess it just came up naturally."
It is characterized by its unusual juxtaposition of instrumentation which unfolds as the song progresses, which include tack piano, bass harmonica, banjos, saxophones, flutes, and organ. ''MOJO'' described it: "A fried treatise on how LSD separates the turned-on 'us' from the uptight 'them'." For a 1990 CD reissue of ''Pet Sounds'', an earlier recording of the song with different lyrics was released as a bonus track under the name "Hang On to Your Ego".
==Composition==
Its composition features a verse/refrain/verse/refrain/bridge/refrain pattern, music framing devices consistent with other tracks of ''Pet Sounds'' such as "You Still Believe in Me", along with a melody which stretches two octaves. Dissimilar to other tracks is its key movement which occurs for the lyric "''now what can you tell them''"—it proceeds up a minor third whereas Wilson usually proceeded down. Inverted chords are used just as they are in other ''Pet Sounds'' compositions.
Author Jim Fusilli observed that "the lyrics seem an oddity when compared with the elegance and empathy of the rest of the recording." The narrator expresses pity for "''uptight people''" who "''trip through the day''," but leaves them alone to live as they wish. The refrain of the song states: "''I know there's an answer / I know now but I have to find it by myself''". When asked what the "answer" was, Wilson said it was: "Your self. There is an answer for you."
