Who am I?
Am I like those dull birds just flapping around?
Who am I?
Eager like a rabbit with a carrot in its mouth?
Who am I?
Silvered spooned without a crown?
Who am I?
Smiles yet nothing compares to the miles that swoon in midair.
Who am I?
Backwards or forwards, no man can't see, that with me there is no dream.
Who am I?
Potent,
How can I?
Leverage,
How could you?
Revenge,
How could I?
Lust,
How could you?
White roses in dozens, and made love to nothing.
How could I?
Tomb stones, and slash marks, you would think I was in the dark,
How could you?
Crooked smile for a while but couldn’t be down to,
How could I?
Love anything but you.

'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.

Deep & beautifully written
Thanks for sharing this! I think it captures the abstract struggle of asking who we are quite well… After all, who knows themselves in all clarity?
This is some deep and rather cryptic stuff. It makes me wonder what inspired these thoughts. Are they about personal identity struggles? I can relate to grappling with questions about who we are. What do you think the overall theme here is?
