Most mornings my alarm goes off, and it’s time to rise and ✨ shine
Now I roll over and take my sleeping pills, cause asleep is the only time I’m fine.
Realistically that can only work but so much, so I try other ways to cope
Anything to give me peace; anything to give me hope.
I’ve tried hanging with my peeps sometimes; but my laughs are just for show
Turns out I’ve become a pretty good actor, cause the real me no one knows
I drink or maybe get high once in a while. So I can just for a time be numb
Being alone with just myself, that’s when all the feelings they come.
Swarming around inside my head, everything at the same time
Anything… I would do anything, for my feelings to just be mine
“But if wishes were horses, all beggars would ride”, the first in line I would be
Unfortunately though, it just isn’t so; with my pills once again I’ll just sleep.

'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.
