	Brian Wilson the newlywed shares very candidly his uneasiness of this new commitment, something that becomes quite clear if you examine the lyrics of several other songs ("Let Him Run Wild", "Help Me Rhonda", "You Still Believe in Me"). It was an inspired idea to have Dennis Wilson handle these difficult and vulnerable vocals, he pulls it off admirably. "In the Back of My Mind" is a well-crafted but difficult listen, with the meandering melody and orchestration creating quite a disturbing combination.	Bruce Beatlefan	April 28, 2008

Lyrics

I'm blessed with everything
A world to which a man can cling
So happy times when I break out in tears
In the back of my mind I still have my fears

I live my life with her
Love her true she knows I'm sure
I make her happy just living so plain
In the back of my mind I'm 'fraid it's gonna change

I tried to run far way from thoughts
I should try to keep away
But they just keep coming back to me
I tried to rationalize
But some day I might realize
That things are just good the way they'll be
I know it's so hard to find
A girl who really understands your mind
What will I do if I leave her
It will always be way in the back of my mind
