It starts with a curiosity
A desire to explore and feel
It turns into a dependency
A craving that seems so real
It grows with every indulgence
A habit that is hard to break
It feeds on every reluctance
A weakness that is easy to exploit
It blinds with every illusion
A fantasy that masks the truth
It hurts with every collision
A reality that scars the soul
It isolates with every rejection
A loneliness that fills the void
It manipulates with every deception
A lie that fuels the paranoia
It consumes with every obsession
A hunger that is never satisfied
It destroys with every regression
A failure that erodes the pride
It enslaves with every compulsion
A force that is hard to resist
It kills with every dissolution
A death that is hard to mourn
It ends with a recovery
A hope that is hard to find
It heals with a discovery
A love that is hard to define

'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.
