Tomorrow I must say goodbye
You have tried to stay, for me
Last week you asked to be let go
I cannot ask you to keep trying
It isn't fair when you are ready to go
As my heart breaks, it also is hopeful
You are leaving for a long wait
Waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge
With Hawkeye, your predecessor
Pain free, running, bucking, farting
My heart horse reincarnated
I will now have lost you twice
Twice the heart ache, yet twice the love
I would not be who I am without you
My teacher of life lessons, again I graduate
Tomorrow I will drive with you to the end
I will weep for the time we will no longer have
Weep for my failures to protect you
Memories will leak down my face as I leave you
My heart will ache and a part will always stay with you
This night, I will gather friends
Close company, those who knew you
We will celebrate your life with a toast
Surrounded by loving friends who know
Know how much I miss you at this, the end

'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.
