Weezer - Haunt You Every Day (Demo)

[blue_axolotl]

you honestly could have told me the demo for this song was from pinkerton and i would've believed you, i love how gritty and emotional it is

[Popilo]

The little voice crack at 1:59 alone makes this better for me than the final release

[kerosene_ceo]

I think this version captures the emotion of the lyrics more

[gargamellf]

i just wish weezer did stuff like this man come on

[darthmoop]

One of the greatest Weezer songs ever. Specifically this version

[SoniKast]

The final version feels like you're going insane (the licks in the song making it feel more complex, the pitch, the production) and this version just feels like you've just completely lost everything (less guitar parts, lower effort singing, rougher production, obviously but still)

[Urlocallordandsavior]

Holly crap does Rivers look young in that thumbnail.

[pulse]

as a big fan of the final song (and honestly the entire album), this is really good. not sure if i like this more than the final version but i fucking love this

[skatesever]

as a lo-fi rock fan, this hits the spot perfectly. god i love weezer's unreleased stuff...

[_caustics_]

Pinkerton was one of the last studio albums I loved listening to. Production is missing this. This sounds like music.

[goose]

i love how chunky the guitars and bass are in this song

[heda]

never thought id start crying with a weezer song in the bg

The demo version sounds absolutely raw, natural and gritty in the best way, just beautifully done. 👏👏

[potato]

"demo"
my brother in christ this sounds polished

[TheyCallMeDrNope]

This version kinda sounds like something out of Pinkerton/Songs from the black hole, so much better than the final version

[scarlet]

The album version isn’t bad per se, but it’s a shame that they had to overproduce it, this version feels more genuine

[lazrpo]

The overlapping melodies at the last chorus does so much for the dramatic tone of this demo. It sounds so nice!

[Angelsarchive]

It’s a shame Perfect situation doesn’t have a demo equivalent to this aside from the one where it sounds like he shitted on his guitar; it could really benefit from this style of production

Interestingly enough, the live versions of perfect situation Weezer are doing now are definitely the best versions of the song. It’s actually crazy, and no one is talking about it. I’ve always wanted someone to do a cover of the song eliminating most of the elements I didn’t like about the album version, but everyone would just copy the album version. It took Weezer themselves to bless me with a better version of Perfect Situation

This sounds much more like Weezer than the album version

[passamal]

this one hits extremely hard, maybe it´s the simpler production, maybe it´s cause I found it during the pandemic, maybe it´s both... just absolutely crushing
