one day my dear child
you are going to understand
that i love you can sting like
a cut, sharp and clean.
as you draw in time and breath to recover
you’ll see through its pointed tongue
to the honeyed care lurking beneath
you’ll soon find be careful don’t
do that, you stupid child
had nothing to do with you
and everything to do with holding you
safe from the world.
one day as you see your own heart
sleeping in your arms vowing to love
like you weren’t loved
you are going to see those thorns
that embraced you were laced with longing too.
scarred and burned you’ll come to
see they loved you with the fire of
a thousand suns longing to
see you light up the darkness.
one day child you’ll discover
love isn’t always sweet
it’s sour and angry too
one day you’ll see through your pain
to theirs, breaking your heart before
it mends

'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.
