I know the shape of your name in my mouth
And the way your heart looks on your sleeve.
I know where you like to holiday and exactly
The kind of candies that make you light up.
I have sat next to you on plane rides and taxis,
Laughed at all the offhand jokes your kids made.
I know the legacy you want to leave and I've even
Gone as far as laying a few of those bricks myself.
So why is it when the time came to take a picture,
You so easily forgot that I was someone you knew?

"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.

I call that selective memory syndrome... f*ck that stung. You pulled no punches for this SD!
aghh, That one hurt on the inside. cracking the code of what other people seem to need in order to qualify as meaning something to them, possibly self-immolation, is impossible. Forget blood, sweat, tears, and poetry.
Ouch. This stung so bad. I've been in similar situations to this. Sometimes not as deeply involved in their lives, but always felt like a fairweather friend. Well wrought, my friend, and sorry you've experienced this!
