The Path of Totality
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Eroding tireless queries, the layers regenerate, as does the
crustacean's secret.
Lifting one’s head above the horizon, unworthiness acclimates;
intimidating the understanding of that which eludes grasp.
Perhaps, intrigue subtracts the splendor from tranquility as
stellar dreams reveal themselves with stark precision. Alignment may be
eventual, but it's the Mother of Totality who brings forth all gifts.

"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.

Love this concept and so well executed! This left a lovely image in my mind 🤗
Brilliant entry, Lamar!
Great entry, I loved it.
“stellar dreams reveal themselves with stark precision” is a line I liked Lamar, and this made me think about the sun as a powerful force and life-giver.
That was crazy good you may have a winner with this one
Whoaaaa this was so magnificent! Loved your Acrostic!
“stellar dreams reveal themselves with stark precision” Amazing entry! ❤️
I especially loved the line - it's the mother of totality that brings all gifts. It's a powerful statement. Excellent acrostic, Lamar!
A compelling acrostic with a contemplative tone! Very nice!
Well-wrought! Mother of Totality!
I'm sure this is excellent as is all your work, but it's poetry so for me 🤷♂️?
Excellent Take on the Challenge
Quite stunning Lamar, and really powerful celestial feel about it. Great interpretation of the brief.
