My mind, my own personal torture chamber
Being confined, caged by my own thoughts
Such a chaotic mess
So many thoughts, like hearing a million voices all at once
All indecisive, all pulling in different directions
Staying frozen in place, not knowing which way to turn
Screaming inside, begging for something to be said, something to be decided
Annoyance turns to frustration
Frustration turns to anger
Holding on with every ounce of strength
Not letting the flood gates burst
I fight back the tears, I smile, I say "I'm okay"
Overstimulated, my mind unable to handle anything else
Mentally shutting down,
I hear nothing, eyes focus on one thing
Finally, the chaos is silent
I no longer feel anything

'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.
