Poetry of the Hunt
Chasing the unseen depths,
the flipped-over truth,
fuelled by a belief
that rapidly appears,
before a single word
could be spoken,
shaping and shifting everything.
Unsettling memories
linger just beneath the surface.
Wounds that cut so deep they bleed,
taking hold of
every aching bone.
One day gone, one day drawing near.
Riding the rollercoaster's dips and climbs,
never certain when I'll arrive
where dawn ignites in crimson hues.
Some days just breeze by
everything clicks from the start
a bright spark beneath screeching tires.
Other days are a slog
like a cart horse
stumbling, misdirecting, and whining.
Looking forward to tomorrow,
to recapture all the missed connections,
they drift in the stale air
hoping to coalesce
into something beautiful,
becoming part of the narrative
persevering through every challenge.

'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.
