Darkness falls as the city becomes hauntingly still
Pouring a cup of fresh brewed coffee
It’s heavenly aromas are a delightful sin
Conjuring vivid emotion from my past
Evoking feelings of comfort that never lasts
The moonlight guides my traveling thoughts
Dancing waves of vibrant color splash across my mind
As memories come flooding back into focus
I softly float away and am transported through time
Magic transpires during these mysterious midnight hours
The darkness has its curse on me as my life is set in rewind
As the hours fade away into the eerie shadows of tomorrow
The sun begins to rise with the unveiling of my somber reality

'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.
