Poppy's Prompt #5
Descend with me into the depths of darkness
Where the wind strips the flesh from your bones.
Enclosed in an envelope of starkness,
Feel all hope of escape erode
As demons paint the walls with your blood.
Get your tickets here!

'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'm shivering, such an interesting read.
What a different vibe from your last entry for this prompt that I read! Such a creepy and sinister tone!
This sounds like a very captivating blurb of a book that I would definitely buy!
Dark but so beautiful. Very relatable. Wonderful work!
This is exactlyyyyyyy how I feel right now so it resonated so deeply with me. Loved your poem!
Ooo! Not your usual darkness but I am all here for it!! Great work Dana!!
Definitely darker! I like the last line, drawing attention to our behaviour.
Whoa, this is chilling! I felt the wind cooling my blood as I read it. "As demons paint the walls with your blood." creates such a visual! I love this, Dana!
Oh damn, that was decidedly dark for you!! 'Get your tickets' was a fantastic, surprise last line. Great work!
I'd love to hear this sung by the Cure. Got my attention.
Fabulous work, Dana. I love this
Definitely darker, I like the visual you painted
βFeel all hope of escape erodeβ Nice! Utterly dark. Perfect breakfast read, lol.
