Don't Wake Them
I try to contain all these monsters in my brain, and sometimes, I lose.
Quiet!
Be quiet, I said!
Don't make me think right now
It's not safe in my head
Those voices might sell peace,
but they work for the dead
Don't try to distract them
they'll get louder instead
Don't overwhelm them
Please! They'll try to get out!
Oh god stop talking
I can feel their claws in my mouth
Shut the fuck up!
I never meant to say that out loud
Well I guess they win again
There's no point hiding them now
Try to ignore them!
They'll climb in through your ears
They'll tell you lies about me
And they know all of my fears
Just run away, leave now
Save us both the tears
You might say you're strong enough
To stick around while they're here
But they'll push you away
Its been happening for years

'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.
