in hopeful light of spring's first dawn,
morning dew whispers to the waking crocus,
take me back
to rumors of a thawing earth,
where life stirs
under the lifting weight of winter
take me back
to the cardinals' return,
their red frame a stark contrast
against the fading gray.
They sing beneath the sun,
coaxing the buds on barren branches
to blush shades of green
at their melody.
by the brook,
children shed their coats
and the water dances over smooth stones,
take me back
to laughter tangled in the wind,
small hands plucking daffodils,
and mud-splattered boots.
under the vast stretch of awakening skies,
clouds part like curtains
unveiling spring’s reign,
take me back
to the ever-present scent
of rain on pavement,
fresh and sharp — the fragrance of renewal.
to gardens where lovers walk,
hands still clasped, vines entwined,
take me back
to promises whispered through bushes,
floral buds witnessing vows renewed
spring holds us, briefly
in the cradle of rebirth
take me back

"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.
