The Dying House that Made me
Inspired by Frankenstein (with Mia Goth 2025) and Jane Eyre
I’m
Desperate; I can’t dig deeper than how I was created, fastened together with embers that neither burned deep enough or melted me away quick enough
I’m a monster of man
A servant of wiles, snarling wolves that have eaten my starving insides to recreate womanhood
I’m so desperate for a touch that doesn’t feel rotten
Oh blood Raven Moon, you have tormented me as the crimson oils spill over my eyes
Eternal flames feel divine in my mouth as as if God Himself planted a ethereal seed to grow from my lungs
But all that comes out
Instead of love
Sweet, forgiving, cradling, soft love
is
Fire.

"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.

'A servant of wiles, snarling wolves that have eaten my starving insides to recreate womanhood'. I am not even sure I can articulate a comment that does this piece justice. Amazing work!
Intense but also uncertain, like you're finding your way. And that artwork? I mean, it's striking!
