The grey sky is lulling,
sit down at your desk.
Sun will hide today,
let’s give him some rest.
/
Pause for a moment,
meditate on my voice.
The raindrops are speaking,
louder than your brain noise.
/
Watch as I work,
to wash the world for brighter times.
Tap along to my rhythm,
as static volume climbs.
/
The gloom is important,
so sigh with me.
Open your window
and let the rain be.

'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.

A delightfully whimsical poem. There’s a time for all types of weather.✅
Well-wrought! Whether in storm or stress or under a sky cloudless we are naturally ourselves, still, and should drink our fill!
The gloom is important, so sigh with me. Open your window and let the rain be. Those lines were revitalizing! Beautiful entry!
I love the rain too and pitter patter is fantastic! A great poem!
