I fell for the journey
Sometimes, you find out that you love what you never wanted
Wrote for the trees and wrote for the star
A new point, a different theme, witnessing eyes from afar
A million ideas igniting brain membranes
Need a notebook inside cells to write those sparks
Sought for the 'destination' and fell in love with 'journey'
The pain of beauty, and the beauty of pain
Bumps teach you to drive, pains are a gain

'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.

Good job Maryam. I have not gotten into free verse, but I must try it. It will be a challenge because I like my poetry to flow like the words of a song.

"Wow! This is amazing. In free verse, this is a wonderful beginning. "Sought for the 'destination' and fell in love with 'journey' The pain of beauty, and the beauty of pain" These lines are truly remarkable; I will keep repeating them all day. I have no words, dear sister. I am very surprised and happy to see that you are improving yourself every day. Whether it’s freeing yourself from bad habits or infusing life into your writing. You have my respect, sister; your determination to bring about change and improve yourself is truly commendable. I have received so much inspiration from you—a true inspiration. Please don’t mention mistakes!"
