'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.

Wow, Tiffany, this is an incredible journey down the page. You put a LOT into this one. Well done!
I run out of ways to compliment you. This is awesome, my friend! I love the repetition at the beginning, like a chant, or mantra. I was loving all of it and then I came to the acrostic and went "ooo!" My eyes lit up. That adds a simultaneous vertical and horizontal message, sort of similar to a cross... which accentuates the whole message here. An aCROSStic, if you will. I personally believe all creative energy comes from God. We are like prisms. We create our own unique colors, but He provides the Light, the Inspiration. It's clear to me you channel His loving energy. Your worldview is truly inspiring. I hope you win the challenge with this!!!! It's always a pleasure, dear friend. 🫶💕🫶
Great advise, Tiffany - Very Powerful. Loved the repetition. Nicely Done!!!
Well-wrought!
Fire the bad made me feel like it was more like burn the bad? I don't know why. I love the repetition, it makes the message feel even more powerful.
Nice!!❤️

A small nod sent for strength blessing and L/B suggestions.
I love your creativity here. I feel the Energy here!!! Embrace the good; 💕 Abandon the bad Great job, Cousin Tiff!!!
What a powerful exhortation! Truly needed in this time. The world would change overnight if we all followed this guidance.
Great advice Tiff. if only it were that simple for everyone. If only thinking it could make all the unpleasantness disappear. Still, we send up the prayers. Well said.
What a powerful and motivating call to action! I love the imagery of using the "fiery power" to Renew, Reset, and Refresh.
Very uplifting and powerful. As a child of God, I find it very moving as well.
Whoaaaa, this felt sooo empowering Tiffy! Loved it so much!
I love it! Very inspiring and full of faith! Keep doing what you're doing!
❤️ 🔥always moved by your art and faith
This is punchy, in a great way. Also, I learned a new word :) (deflagrate) Might be worth mentioning one line kinda sits weird for me. “Alight candles of discrimination” I know what you’re saying and I dig it. But I can’t help picturing an intrusive image in my mind, of lighting votive candles around a prayer altar around the intention of discrimination rather than the burning up of discrimination. I don’t think that’s a fault of your writing, and most people wouldn’t read the line that way. More likely I just got my wires crossed. Hopefully people will take your poem as inspiration, to burn away some of the bad and kindle more good :)
So inspirational!! ✨✨👏👏
Wonderful Tiffany 🦋💙🦋
A great inspirational poem, Tiffany!
Stunning wording I like this piece very inspirational.
Hold the faith. Nice work my friend.
This one is fiery. Well penned my friend ❤️
