Feelings are just energy in motion
I remind myself as I feel emotion
I remember this as the tears pour down
I feel so sad, I feel so thrown
But even as the sadness thrives
I recall what it is to feel alive
To battle through despair
Smooth my hair
Come bouncing back
Move away from feelings of lack
To know however close I came
To giving up, I'd do it all again
Because of resilience
Because of being brave
I'll never give up
Never completely cave
It's part of BEING a 'Cave'
I appreciate the love we gained
The things we learnt
The friendship we made
Things may not turn out as we planned
But we still gain in friendship, a hand.

"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.

Hi Karen, “to battle through despair” and “bounce back”. I’m sure that is a journey many of us are on or have been. I liked the optimism of this message throughout your piece. 😊
