Quiddity
Some Mystical Impressions For My Wonderful Muse
Quiddity describes properties that a particular substance (e.g. a person) shares with others of its kind. It is the name for the mystical dream sea in Clive Barker's novel "The Great and Secret Show" that exists as a higher plane of human existence. It is featured as more of a literal sea in the novel's sequel, Everville.
Quiddity, as it turns out, is visible exactly three times to an ordinary human: The first time we ever sleep outside our mother's womb, the first time we sleep beside the one we truly love and the last time we ever sleep before we die.
I am using the second time that we see Quiddity for a poem for my Muse and I.

I want to hold you in this mystic sea
My mermaid queen , Iβll hold you close to me
My ocean maid , I love your gentle touch
In our ocean heaven we feel our love
ππ§π
I feel the water drip from my strong arms
Like my love that flows into you from me
And the love that flows to me from your heart
That means we are together not apart
ππ§π
In Quiddity we feel our perfect love
We hold, we touch and kiss and our hearts touch
Closer we are every single day
Touching our minds with each word that we say
ππ§π
I love you my mermaid , my perfect dream
I love that you love me, my ocean queen

'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.
