Am I really living
Or just enjoying the chase
Everywhere
Everyday
I see her face
But there’s no place for us here
Because we’re surrounded by fear
The fear of something different
Something
“Strange”
Unusual they say
But little do they know
People like us have existed
Existed before the invention of the day
Like all other people
We’re just one of many different variations
Just trying to exist
In a world that wants to limit us
In a world
That in fact
Is limitless

'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.

great poem
Being limited in a world that's limitless. Certainly does sound very sad.
Great poem, and hopefully not the only side of the story for you.
May I simply be allowed to quote one of my favorite authors/actors & not quite yet a PEGOT (the Oscar is almost inevitable): "Love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love....."
