“The moon reminded me of you.”
Her: Look, a half-moon! It’s been quite a while eh?
Him: fascinated?
Her: It’s like you.
Him: What? Am I some light in the dark? Cheesy.
Her: More of a half-good and a half-bad. Acting so tough up there pretending you like how it feels — to be alone. When all along your other half is here beaming some light by his presence to wherever the other can’t reach.
Him: Huh? Of all the people, you know how bad of a company I am. I’m not good with it, you know, talking — those sweet talk girls want. I’m not it.
Her: Yeah. But there’s something you are good at. I don’t think you know it.
Him: What?
Her: Mmm, you can tell things others won’t. You told me how stupid I am for the choices I made. When everyone I knew pushed me into something they thought was good for me, you were the one who pulled me out asking if it was something I wanted for myself. You taught me how to consider myself, I know it’s not an easy thing to do. Stubborn as I am but you never gave up on me. See? I don’t have a word for it but I like it.

"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.
