Traveling On Highway 1
Our Song Came On
Stopped the Truck
Facing the Ocean
The Sky was Golden
The Moment Was Priceless
Birds Flew Across the Setting Sun
The Contrast of Light and Shadow Danced Across the Sky’s Painted Canvas
Standing on the Beach
My Husband’s Arms around Me
Encircling Me As My Own Encircled Him
In That Briefest of Moments, A Mere Puff of Breath
Contentment… Love… Joy at Being Together
Reality of The Tricks Life Plays- Cruelly Crushing Future Plans
Suspended and Placed On Pause
That Most Vulnerable Moment of Experiencing Happiness and Love
Two Souls Breathing as One
While the Sun Melts into the Darkness of Night
I Remember the Touch and Feel of You - Your Strong Arms, Smooth Lips…
The Safest Space I Ever Knew or Ever Will Know
Words of Love Exchanged
Spoken from One Heart to the Other
I Remember….

'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.
