The cool misty morning
The fog descends
A chill stirs
As autumn begins
---
The dew dries up
With the summer heat
The orange leaves
Crunch under my feet
---
Loose dresses
Turn to woolen sweaters
This time of the year
Everything gets better
---
Baked goods
Warm drinks
Just soak the dishes
In the kitchen sink
---
Take it slow
Nowhere to go
Sit on the couch
And watch a show
---
Apple ciders
And pumpkin spice
Linger in the air
Through autumn's night
---
My garden shrivels
The weeds die down
Nothing left to do
But meander the town
---
Open windows
Rain rushes in
Light my candles
Evenings about to begin
---
The things unfinished
This summer season
Doesn’t seem to matter
It has no reason
---
Soon the bright hues
Will turn to white
Another season
To just sit tight

"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.

I love the imagery & was whisked into the heart of autumn; the love the colours of the leaves, and yes—how they crunch under my feet.. and lots of staying in and binge watching Netflix dramas. Lovely poem. 🍁
