Tomorrow runs; yesterday hides.
Today is the only time you're alive.
Most of refuse to accept that simple fact
Instead we anticipate the future and attack the past
In goes by so fast and we know nothing lasts
So I can't help but laugh at my own irrationality
Refusing to live in the reality of here and now
Knowing the logic and dismissing somehow that
Today is the only time I'm alive.
Tomorrow runs; yesterday hides.

'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.

yup, that first line is definitely tattoo worthy! great entry!
I really do appreciate that you let us know that you were the one that wrote this. AI has been kicking us in the chin, and this for me is comforting to read. Anyways this was fantastic, you have outlined the path that we take when we know better. Planning for tomorrow when tomorrow runs, that was a clever way to put it. I too seek to live in the there here and now. I also really like this line, ‘ Instead we anticipate the future and attack the past’. It shows us how silly we are and also guide us at the same time 👌🏽
