I spent years begging a person I loved to just talk to me, work through issues together, tell me what was wrong,
only to be met with anger, a slammed door, a drunken return,
so excuse me if I spend the rest of my life in awe of you and us,
how easy it is to have a simple discussion, how conflict never leads to arguments,
how we hold each other through it all,
facing every challenge with fingers too interlaced to be pointed with blame.

'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.

So short and simple yet I was there with you feeling what you felt
This is such a tender and powerful reflection. It’s beautiful how you’ve captured what healthy love should feel like.
I love that last line about fingers being to interlaced to point. Great job, and I'm happy for you that you found a better relationship. 💜
