***
A fragment still lingers, a scar on my soul,
A mark on my finger, a weight I can’t hold.
A home and a parting, a dream wrapped in fright,
A balm for the aching, a slap, and delight.
[Chorus]
So dual, so hidden, absurd to the core,
Both known and forbidden, yet I wanted more.
A lone little starlight that flickered, then died,
Salvation and sorrow burned side by side.
[Verse 2]
You slipped through my spirit, my heart held your place,
I dreamed I could meet you, then drowned in your gaze.
The fault must be mine too, though poisoned the fight,
I ran back a hundred times into the night.
[Chorus]
So dual, so hidden, absurd to the core,
Both known and forbidden, yet I wanted more.
A lone little starlight that flickered, then died,
Salvation and sorrow burned side by side.
[Bridge]
A hundred times fighting to pull you back through,
Yet still I grew weary—betrayal was you.
The kindest so often get lost in the storm,
Yet scars tell the stories of all we transform…
[Outro]
Each mark and each scar, though time may erode,
Remains in the cosmos of all that we've sown…

The Room of Altered Memories
Image by Freepik *** Everyone was waiting for news about the Room. That was what they called it, though it was not just a room. It was another dimension. Time flowed differently inside it. Its creators claimed it was the most incredible achievement of modern science. A few believed it was a black hole that would swallow the entire world. But the same world awaited news about it. With excitement. With curiosity.

"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.

How “Tamid Ohev Oti” Became an Unexpected Companion in a Season of Heartbreak.
I first heard Tamid Ohev Oti a year ago. When Facebook Memories brought it back to me recently, the response was immediate and physical. I was returned to that exact point in my life, not just emotionally but spiritually. I remembered how much I leaned on this song, how often I played it, and how deeply it reassured me when people had failed me.
