One Cold Bite
The hidden magic of a frosty night
**********
From Jack’s first bite
Twinkling like stardust in morning’s first light
Winter nibbles every night
Catching toes and nipping noses
Misty mornings and foggy nights
We build fires under starlight
And set the sky alight with colours bright
Tell stories of magic and wonder
Take blanket-covered slumbers
Dream of love and romance
Tasty treats and cosy nights
Warm cuddles under string lights
Festive songs and merry dances
Secret kisses and stolen glances
First dates and second chances
Icy streets and snow-covered houses
Cold hands and hot mugs
A holiday full of love
Laughter, frolics, and jigs
Roasted chestnuts, cinnamon, and figs
Dark nights, naughty or nice
It all starts with one frost-covered night

'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.
