Combing through the mysteries of life
The dark edges of my inner cosmos
By way of my mystical heart
Searching endlessly to find a clue
To where imagining ends and living begins.
*
Sitting in the lotus
Staring inward bound
Searching for my soul
Amongst a cobweb of dreams
And angst-ridden sounds
Of dark melody.
*
Were I a bird
My plumage would be dark
If a dragon, then one with the fire extinguished
I fear I live in a dark imaginary world
Where true living is for others
And all light has been expunged.
*
Such am I
A night creature
Searching for the light
Searching for life
But for the moment
I search in vain.

'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.
