Requiem to a dream
Rage to Goodbye -- Haiku-sky
.............fate, o fate...do wait
...........Death draws near...see the sky weep
The trumpet...the grave!
🗡️
HARD has been my path
DREAMS faded-hopes stolen--rage
REQUIEM to sky
🗡️
NO more gentle breeze
ALONE with many a tear
FOREIGN soil i sought
🗡️
HOME--i dream of you
LOST to woeful sad refrains
WIND sings lullaby
🗡️
BOOK Of Life record
OPEN thy eternal gates
ETERNITY...rage!

"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.

Extraordinary! BRAVO!
Wow, words are just words but you definitely know how to put them together to create meaning; to paint a picture. To bring alive your spirit, making it seem as though you are capable of existing in multiple places at ones. I feel your pain, I can see your woes. It hurts to go across the ocean searching better, but having to leave the soil that held your tears and good memories. I hope the wind will sing you a happy tune, reminding you that you’re on the right path. You’re talented from your head to your toes, you’re seen and you’re heard.
Loving the tattoos. Rage we must, for the light must ever shine. Strength in numbers. Love the message.
