Those eyes, equipped with icy daggers,
wounded every pleading excuse.
Tight fisted, grimaced, flawless
gestures, framed the vivid
tale of what you spoke,
without ever
saying a
single
word.

'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.

Wow, wonderful job building the intensity to the end!
Brilliantly crafted!
Your nonet certainly packed a powerful punch. Well done.

So fascinating 👏
I'm not sure if I have a "the look". But loved that you used this concept for the challenge!
So very wounding.
The ole stink eye breakup! Great twist on the Nonet challenge, Lamar!
Back away slowly. She looks pissed.
Wow, that’s a new meaning of bilingual. My son is fully bilingual so I was naturally drawn to this poem. Glad to see it’s a different type of language you mean here, Lamar!
Nicely done, sir.
Ah, the power of "the look". My son described my "look" as my "We are not amused" look! 👋💕😊
