Masquerade
Darling
to the dauntless,
How
are you so flawless?
Born…without an err?
Elegant with that glimmer,
River full of shimmers
Such wondrous fate to bear!
What elegance;
What grace!
A masquerade, hard to be erased?
For beneath that surface
Rests those nightmares, unshared! Those blemishes; all too painful to bear
Fret not, however;
As you see, dear one
Like trees in the forests,
Like hairs on thy head,
There are others like you
Like us.

'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.

This made me think of princess Diana for some reason. I think we're all masquerading to a certain extent in the many roles we have fulfill in life x Enjoyed this very much and the message resonates so well,
Hopeful!
This is a fantastic poem!
Forgot to add the spacings to this one, comment if I should release the actual variant!
