Mental health is something that fluctuates,
Some days are overbearing and I’ll appear like things are okay,
Everyone wants me when I’m hiding behind artificial smiles;
But the moment my life gets turbulent everyone abandons me.
It’s easier to lock away my soul and keep myself guarded
Please don’t get me started
With telling me I’m dull now, I’ve become jaded,
Or that the burdens I carry were more than anticipated.
I know I’m heavy and
it’s the baggage I’ve carried,
I have a closet full of skeletons,
And they’ve unpacked and settled in.
I’ll forever be a work in progress
I can only carry so much with me,
I just need you to have patience
And a bit of faith in me.
I swear I’m not always numb,
It just waves of my trauma that I was suppressing,
There is times I may stumble,
But I’m trying to keep moving forward with healing.

"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.

great one. Go ahead.
I swear I'm not stalking you, haha! I've just been at home all day and hovering on Vocal for most of it! But your stuff is amazing! 🩷 I love how this captures the baggage we can have and how we hide it, sometimes for the sake of others. Feel like I spent most of my life trying to just "appear like things were okay" 🩷
