My love (sorry I have to cry)
Inspired by Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) by Nancy Sinatra (soundtrack Kill Bill)
The day I caught sight of you
You were walking in your thoughts
I said to myself that day
with you, I don't want to play
My love, now you can fly
My love, I'll say goodbye
My love, I don't know why
My love, sorry I have to cry
For years, we have loved each other
We smiled and we cried together
We were talking about time
Who's taking your heart and mine
My love, now you can fly
My love, I'll say goodbye
My love, I don't know why
My love, sorry I have to cry
I'll join you in heaven, maybe
You went too far away from me
How will I be able to do
To have a laugh without you
And never kiss you again
On my broken heart comes the pain
My love, now you can fly
My love, I'll say goodbye
My love, I don't know why
My love, sorry I have to cry

'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.
