'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.

I think you know that I get this on so many levels.
Dude, can you give me Ruth’s email so I can talk to her and we can have inclusive conversations. I feel that you and I have a real connection, and I want Ruth to be a part of it so that everyone may benefit and become their best self.
Ahh so only a few years difference between us. I too am lost in noise
Dude, read my comment thread in this one and tell me I’m not a master of subversion: https://shopping-feedback.today/writers/does-the-vocal-team-value-its-creators%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
I left a comment on the Barbie villanelle with my suggestions. Hope I don’t come across as pedantic, even though I am.
This was a very Paul poem, lots of white space, minimal words, cryptic message. First, it felt like a mantra to slow down, breathe, accept, let go. And then I watched the seizure inducing video, for the 10 seconds I could handle it, and now the poem feels like desperation to find a way to slow down, breathe, accept, let go but you just can't escape the constant noise. Like laying in bed at night listening to the constant ringing in your ears while you try to turn off your brain and just can't fall asleep.
There's so much noise, even in the quiet, no matter what age we are. So many distractions, so loud at times. On a side note, I seriously thought y'all were in your 30's lol
I get it. I was once 45 standing in the noise. However, that was during the first Trump disadministration, and he was the 45th president when I was 45, so I was 44 and 12 months, just to disassociate.
