From the bright green of Evermore,
Spawned forth from days of yore,
Beasts of blood-dripping gore,
Burst through its rotting door.
Wickedly spoken into lore,
Grizzled mercs came ashore,
Coin was spent on drink and whore,
To placate the fear they bore.
Brackish fiend and savage boar,
Sliced fresh meat to softened core,
Escaped a wild haunted roar,
Evil deeds and sin galore.
Blackest black, Death wore,
Monsters died and men swore,
Scalding heat and blood rain pour,
Where the green meets before.
Waves of red flowed underscore,
The broken ground heaping more,
Trails of tears glimmer hoar,
Opened worlds can't ignore.
The hawthorn gate marked four,
Scraped a sticky ichor floor,
Closing eyes, pustules sore,
Leave behind Evermore.

'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.
