Martyrs OF Love
Poem By: Dr. Hisham Farghaly- Translation By: Tahany Azzab
O martyrs of love…
I call you to be witnesses…
The passion of my lover has flowed into my blood
Do I have the right to ask you?
As if I were a student in the sanctuary of passion
Whoever answers me will be my teacher
Who among you has not had a tremor from touching
the palm of your lover's hand?
How can you escape from the arrow of her eyes?
When she looks at you and smiles
If her shadow visits you in the evening, would you be able to close your eyes and sleep?
Who among you has not drowned in the sea of love?
No matter how a skilled diver you are
Who would love his lover’s Areej's perfume?
Would not you thank God for the blessing of her smell?
Who among you would not love to hear the tone of his lover’s voice?
The sound of the guitar fades whenever you hear her voice
You will feel as if you are deaf to the guitar’s tones
Who among you wouldn't quit talking after talking to his lover?
Would not you hate to listen to words other than hers?
Wouldn't you intend to fast afterward?
Whoever among you could not answer what I asked, deserves all my blame
What I say to my lover…
Oh, my queen…
You stand tall in your palace
The stars are sitting under your throne
You slyly asked me about my birthday
So here I am, after I loved you..
I was just born today….

'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.
