[Verse 1]
In a gilded hall, where shadows creep
Lurks a hidden truth, buried deep
Puppets dance on golden strings
A tragic play, of wealth and kings
[Pre-Chorus]
They weave a tale, of power and greed
A hollow dream, a soulless creed
But beneath the mask, a heart still beats
Yearning to break free, from deceit
[Chorus]
Puppet strings, a haunting tune
A tale of wealth, in a world of doom
Bound by chains, of silver and gold
In a game of shadows, where dreams are sold
[Verse 2]
The puppeteer, pulls at the strings
Silencing voices, that dare to sing
The chorus of the silenced, a whispered plea
For a world unbound, by tyranny
[Pre-Chorus]
We dance to the rhythm, of their drum
A tale of disparity, that leaves us numb
But in the depths, a spark remains
A flicker of hope, amidst the chains
[Chorus]
Puppet strings, a haunting tune
A tale of wealth, in a world of doom
Bound by chains, of silver and gold
In a game of shadows, where dreams are sold
[Verse 3]
We stand united, against the fray
Unraveling strings, we find our way
A symphony of voices, rise from the deep
A chorus of truth, that dares to speak
[Pre-Chorus]
No longer bound, by golden chains
We tear down walls, and break the reins
Together we stand, our hearts ablaze
In a world reborn, where love remains
[Chorus]
Puppet strings, a haunting tune
A tale of wealth, in a world of doom
Bound by chains, of silver and gold
In a game of shadows, where dreams are sold
[Bridge]
Instrumental Break
[Verse 4]
In the puppet play, a truth unfolds
Of men who rule, with hearts so cold
Women, mere pawns, on their chessboard
A tale of injustice, that can't be ignored
[Pre-Chorus]
But a shift begins, a new dawn nears
As women rise, against their fears
Breaking free, from the chains they wore
They'll dance to a different tune, forevermore
[Chorus]
Puppet strings, a haunting tune
A tale of wealth, in a world of doom
Bound by chains, of silver and gold
In a game of shadows, where dreams are sold
[Verse 5]
The laughter echoes, in their ears
A cruel symphony, of pain and tears
But the women stand, their resolve like steel
Unwavering in the face, of a world so surreal
[Pre-Chorus]
With hearts united, and spirits strong
They march together, to right the wrong
No longer silenced, their voices ring
A chorus of change, that they will bring
[Chorus]
Puppet strings, a haunting tune
A tale of wealth, in a world of doom
Bound by chains, of silver and gold
In a game of shadows, where dreams are sold
[Verse 6]
A new era dawns, a world reborn
Where women stand, free from scorn
The puppet play, forever changed
A testament to their courage, forever sustained
[Pre-Chorus]
In unity they rise, to the call of the light
Forging a future, that's theirs by right
Together they'll dance, on a path of their own
A symphony of change, their legacy now shown
[Chorus]
Puppet strings, a haunting tune
A tale of wealth, in a world of doom
Bound by chains, of silver and gold
In a game of shadows, where dreams are sold
In a game of shadows, where dreams are sold
[Verse 5]
The laughter echoes, in their ears
A cruel symphony, of pain and tears
But the women stand, their resolve like steel
Unwavering in the face, of a world so surreal
[Pre-Chorus]
With hearts united, and spirits strong
They march together, to right the wrong
No longer silenced, their voices ring
A chorus of change, that they will bring
[Chorus]
Puppet strings, a haunting tune
A tale of wealth, in a world of doom
Bound by chains, of silver and gold
In a game of shadows, where dreams are sold
[Verse 6]
A new era dawns, a world reborn
Where women stand, free from scorn
The puppet play, forever changed
A testament to their courage, forever sustained
[Pre-Chorus]
In unity they rise, to the call of the light
Forging a future, that's theirs by right
Together they'll dance, on a path of their own
A symphony of change, their legacy now shown
[Chorus]
Puppet strings, a haunting tune
A tale of wealth, in a world of doom
Bound by chains, of silver and gold
In a game of shadows, where dreams are sold

A Year in Music:
As the year comes to a close, I find myself thinking about how music guided me through this season of transformation. In a world filled with noise—opinions, judgments, and countless voices—sometimes real peace comes not from hearing more but from hearing less. My journey this past year was about finding silence in unexpected places, about learning to reset through music without words, and about reconnecting with the inner peace I’d long neglected.

'20/20'
"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.
