The Bauhinia, a bride in the sunset's embrace
As the beautiful shadows in the waves, my soul they trace
I long to be a coral, in the waves aloft
The rain-kissed beach, its waters so clear
A rainbow's reflection, a dream ever so dear
Enveloped in seaweed, a dream takes flight
Iridescent and fleeting, a vision of delight
Shall I seek my dreams, upon the open sea?
Raise the sails, and to the island's beauty, set me free
The starlight, it sings in warm embrace
The summer insects, they add their own melody
My heart filled with the wonders that here reside
A vision of grace, a story to tell
The shadows in the waves, they dance and play
Rippling reflections, in my soul they sway
A fleeting beauty, a heart to be borne
The sails raised high, to the island's beauty, set me free
A symphony of splendor, in this early summer's grace
Weaving a tapestry of beauty, that shall not wane
For in this moment, I have been truly blessed
I find solace in the wonders that stir my heart
The Bauhinia, the waves, the seaweed's sway
The rain-kissed beach, the rainbow's play
All a testament to the fleeting, the true
A beauty that lingers, forever bound to you
I left quietly, just like when I came
Waving farewell to the waves, my heart all the same

Postscript:
As the final words of this ode to the beauty of the natural world fade, a profound sense of appreciation and wonder lingers. The tapestry of images we have experienced - the Bauhinia bride, the dancing shadows in the waves, the siren call of the swaying seaweed - have all served to remind us of the profound beauty that surrounds us, if only we take the time to truly see it. In this fleeting moment, we have been transported to a realm where the rain-kissed beach, the iridescent dreams, and the symphony of summer insects come together in a grand celebration of life's transient splendor. And while we must eventually depart, we are left with the knowledge that the essence of this beauty will forever be etched in our hearts, a treasure to be cherished long after the final curtain falls.

'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.
