Trapped (Revolving Doors) - A Nonet
Time messed up..
Time fucked-up yet again, out of step
for us to mend, to see changes,
to learn to evolve, instead -
Shackled to the past and
Imagined futures,
Revolving doors,
Forever
too late -
Death.

"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.

Heavy and almost frantic, I like especially the “Revolving doors” image as a way of showing someone stuck in their past Grz 👏🏾
Just today I was thinking of life on a rotating spin. This evolving door in the matrix of imaginary life. Will it end at death though?
Crikey! That's a bleak one but beautifully formed, so I'll let you off.
Well that had an unexpected plot twist!! Nicely done Grz!!
Kind of sad and frustrating but beautiful at the same time! Any chance of being reincarnated and keeping searching for each other across lifetimes?
This is wonderfully done, Grz! It's so true how two people could love one another but the timing could be wrong. Fantastic work!
I loved the poignant imagery! Excellent work!
Oh my!!! To die in a revolving door!!! Great job, Grz!!!
Great entry and loved the illustration too
Dramatically done! Great entry!
Shackled to the past. We are, aren't we.
The cycle never end. Well done!
The evocative imagery and emotional depth in your words resonate with the universal themes of reflection and acceptance, excellent work, love it, thanks for sharing!
Oooo, like a vicious cycle! Really loved the concept you used here. So clever and creative!
Love the concept here wherein we are shackled to the past and our own imagined futures. While we need to learn from the past it is so that we can do better in the future rather than stagnate. Very well done.
Well done.
An intriguing approach to the challenge, Grz--very timely!
