I remember reading once Rivers said this was the song he was the most proud of from the White for how it evolved. This demo is beautiful I can't believe this song sat on the shelf since 2002, if anyone had just believed in Rivers around this time (who wasn't Rick Rubin) Weezer would have more songs like this

Can Rivers please release something a bit raw? Thats what makes those first couple records so charming. They've been improving in recent years but not every song needs to be super polished and squeaky clean to be good

It’s so crazy… I knew there was a reason this was always my favorite off the album.. it always stuck out so much. This blew my mind. This version is even better. The chorus is better here too. Wish it was remastered and remade for the white album

Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori

Oh, she left me there She left me all alone Oh, but I don't care But I don't mind at all She said she loved me She said she loved me She said she'd turn my heart around But up above me But up above me But all around the angels frown Oh, I'm all alone I'm all alone for good I can't have a friend A real friend at all Another heartbreak Another heartbreak Another chance for me to grow Girl, I can take this I'm gonna take this When I'm around to let you know Don't give me love Don't give me love Don't give me love I have had enough Don't love the hate Don't leave ??? Hey, hey Live it on and on Oh, I'm all alone I'm all alone for good I don't need a friend A superfriend, the gall Another heartbreak Another heartbreak Another chance for me to grow She said she loved me And I can take this I've got enough for me to know Don't give me love Don't give me love Don't give me love I have had enough Only the hate Only the hate Only the hate On and on and on Another heartbreak Another heartbreak Another chance for me to grow Girl, I can take this I'm gonna take this I'm not around for you to know Don't give me love Don't give me love Don't give me love I have had enough All through the hate All through the hate All through the hate I am gonna break I am gonna break I am gonna break I am gonna break I am gonna break I am gonna break I am gonna break I am gonna break Down

Iirc at the time the band was using line 6 PODs, so it's very likely one of those with the crunch and chorus activated.
