Overthinking, Online
unfiltered hope, filtered into self-afflicted pain
I (think) like her …
How … why?
We don’t know each other
Just someone I follow
From a mutual connection
But no connection between us
A few likes and comments
Is that all it takes for me now?
...
Oh! They messaged me!
Not about me, a helpful piece of info for me
Pleasantries shared ... and that was it
So why did I message her again so soon?
I got too excited, thought something was happening
Thought that nothing was something
...
Four days later … no response
...
How’s the overthinking going?
...
Days pass, still overthinking
...
But why? Have I really done this?
Falling for someone so easy?
It’s like I want to be hurt again
But I don’t know
...
There’s a feeling, there’s …
Something
A feeling
A thought
This is not lust
This is not obsession
...
But what is it?
...
Why her?
Why feel this way?
Why so quick?
...
Her name captures my imagination
Her eyes steal my heart
Her personality spreads my smile
...
I cannot explain it, I cannot understand it
...
But I see a future there ...
I do see
A future
With … her

"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.

Crushes sometimes feel exactly like that- like you're being crushed!! But it normal :) Enjoyed this poem
Good luck with finding what you're looking for.
I wish you the absolute best with this, Savannah!! When we feel something so strongly, even if it ends up hurting us in the end, I find we often feel it for a reason. Whether it’s love to be found or a lesson to be learned, pursue it! And best of luck with it! ♥️
