My room was warm when I went to bed,
(I turned the heater off before I slept)
Snug and cozy beneath all the blankets
But cold alongside darkness crept
Like frost on windowpanes, chill slinks through
Spreading slowly, nothing can stop it
Where warmth resided, cold now reigns
Floods start with a drop in the bucket.
Dawn comes, alarms ring, I groan as I awake
Emerging from a warm cocoon, only cold to find.
The hardest part about waking in Winter
Is leaving the Blankets behind.
I’m in the Southern Hemisphere, so while Most of Vocal is complaining about heatwaves, I’m over here whining about low-single-digit temperatures and having to defrost my car to drive to work.
No one in my life appreciates how hard it is to unwrap myself from the blankets every morning…

'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.

I feel you. Waking up to cold in winter is rough. I've been there, having to defrost my car and peel myself out of warm covers. It's no fun.
