I used to believe in soulmates:
one person, tied to you by an
invisible thread.
I found my person, and then
I found my other person.
I found friends who I love
as strongly as any partner.
I still believe in soulmates,
but that word is plural
for a reason.

'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.

Hell yes! There is no limit to Love. And a soul mate can be anyone, from a friend to a family member to a lover. And there can definitely be many throughout a person's lifetime. Blessing to You & Yours. ⚡💙⚡
Love comes in so many forms!
Excellent message!!! Best of luck, Kelsey!
Yes, it is plural for a reason. Good job on this poem. Well Done!!!
Soulmates can always be platonic, not necessarily romantic. Loved your poem!
Love is pliant, resilient and capable of embracing a much wider world than we can ever comprehend. This is an original take challenging the romantic notion that somewhere in the world is the perfect mate for me as well as an honest and beautiful poem, Kelsey. Excellent entry to the challenge!
Fabulous work! Go Kelsey! 🎉🩷
This. is. spectacular. I love how personal it is to you and just how buttery smooth it is - every single word has its perfect place and is working harder than 10 lesser well-chosen words that you could have used. Stunning work, Kelsey. Hope I see this in the winner's list!
