Do It Again
Seanchai Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
to that land of milk and honey, californi-ay.
wheels doin' spins down a tree-lined boulevard
hot rods and bronze gods and no-one actin' hard
friday nights on the box, everybody had it made
there was the bradys, pete wilson, and ruben kincaid
and when the winter winds blew cold and bit up at my face
i'd reach out for brian wilson to take me to a better place
palm trees and calm seas
a blonde in just a suntan layin' in the white sand
i quickly get the notion, lend a hand with her lotion
but just like the ocean, she's gone
but that's alright, on a snowy sunday night
that's the best trip i ever been on...
it's automatic when i talk to old friends
the conversation turns to girls we knew
and their hair was soft and long
and the beach was the place to go
their suntanned bodies and the waves of sunshine
the california girls and the beautiful coastline
with warmed-up weather let's get together and
do it again...
and with a girl the lonely sea looks gold in moon light
makes your night times warm and outta sight...
well i been thinkin' bout all the places we
surfed and danced and all the faces we
missed so let's get back together and do it again...
In Seanchai's song "Do it Again", he nostalgically reminisces about his teenage years spent in California. The song starts with Seanchai desiring to be taken back in time to the land of milk and honey, California. He paints a picture of cruising down a tree-lined boulevard in a hot rod, the atmosphere filled with bronze gods but no one acting hard. The weekends were spent watching shows like "The Bradys", "Pete Wilson", and "Ruben Kincaid". Seanchai longs for the California dream with the sweet chords and surfboards, palm trees, and calm seas. He vividly describes a blonde laying in the white sand, and although he gets the notion to lend her a hand with her lotion, she's gone like the ocean's waves.
As the song progresses, Seanchai goes back to talking about old friends and the conversation always turning to the girls they knew. He recalls how their hair was soft and long and how the beach was the best place to go. Their suntanned bodies and the waves of sunshine hearken back to warmer, nostalgic times. Seanchai then goes on to describe how the lonely sea looks gold in the moonlight, and how being with a girl in such circumstance is magical.
The chorus of the song suggests that Seanchai longs for these memories to return, to do it all again. Call it a mid-life crisis or just the simple desire to be young again, Seanchai's evocative and passionate lyrics shed light on the human yearning to relive memories from the past.
