Blue wraps my skin
As I look up on the Earth’s sky
How I ponder it’s deception
Within my minds eye
Yet it’s a beautiful conception
One I love to partake upon
And when night falls
I stare into the great beyond
Darkness is just another shade of blue
Just another kind of hue
Where stars and galaxies of life
Reside and partake the great divine
The mysteries intertwined
And how I ponder them all
If there is life beyond this all
Is there life beyond us all?
Or are we only here
A creator looking down
Watching us with their eye
And when the rain falls
That is when they cry
When they see humanity
And it’s never ending animosity
As we continue to climb
Over top one another
To find
If there is other life
Outside of our brother
Yet we refuse to forgive
Our fathers
Sisters
Brothers
Mothers
Blue is the color
That wraps my skin
And it wraps this beautiful world I’m living in.

'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.
