Daybreak
a chance for something new
watching the sunrise
listening to the birds singing
wishing and praying
that it will be a good day
The day awaits
so, let's see what happens
as the day moves forward
will it be a day of days or
fly by night
will wishes and prayers be
answered
one may hope
Take this day
with eyes and ears open
and greet it
with a smile
for one never knows
when it may be
your last.
So, make a wish or say a prayer
maybe it comes true or not
just take this
one day at a time, please.

'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.

This feels like a quiet reminder to pause, breathe, and meet the day as it comes. I love this time of the day, and every day it looks different and I always wonder what magical thing might happen.
Simplicity of your lines reflects the purity of daybreak itself. It reads almost like a gentle meditation.
