Do It Again
Brian Wilson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Talk with old friends
The conversation turns to
Girls we knew when their
Hair was soft and long and the
Beach was the place to go
With suntanned bodies and
Rays of sunshine the
California girls and a
Beautiful coastline
Warmed up weather
Let's get together and
Do it again
With a girl the lonely sea looks good with your life
Makes your night times warm and out of sight
Been so long (Dip dip dit di dit)
Been so long (Dip dip dit di dit)
Been so long
(Hey now hey now hey now hey now hey now)
(Hey now hey now hey now hey now hey now)
Well I've been thinking 'bout
All the places we've surfed and danced and
All the faces we've missed so let's get
Back together and do it again

Brian has been writing amazing music, since
I was about 5 or so. Yet, his two biggest "hits"
are singing right along with Dad!
THAT has to mean a lot to Brian!
The Brian Wilson Band was here, last year. I
am SO glad we went. There was some "midwest
band" that was there, too. Kind of BeachAgo, but
no "beach boys" were there. Just Brian, Alan and
Matt Jardine. The "Ago" half, Chicago!
Talk about a KILLER concert, this wasn't! Was TWO
amazing concerts. Yes, Matt and Al showed up for
"Wishing you were Here!" Wish Dennis Carl, and
Carl Dean did. Also, no Terry Kath, either. All 3
were missed.

Saw him, (with Chicago) last June 7th 2022.
TWO bucket list concerts in a single day!
Chicago, as always, amazing. The whole
Brass section was KILLER! They even
played back up Brass, for The Brian Wilson
Band. Yes, both bands played Wishing You
Were Here. No Dennis, no Carl, no Terry.
But still, GREAT concerts!
