The Paul Loves Weezer Project - Song 37 Too Late to Try

Weezer's Spring Tour is on hold until the end of May.  Check the front page of Weezerpedia.com and Weezertix.com for the details.

For the thirty-seventh Weezer Song of the Day, I chose Too Late to Try, which is another summer songs of 2000 demo, which is still officially unreleased.  It is astounding to me that this and some other SS2k songs haven't made it onto an official release.  They have to be on the Deluxe Green Album one day!

Too Late to Try Live in Japan:



I have not seen Too Late to Try performed live.  According to Setlist.fm it has been played live 36 times over the summer of 2000 tour in Canada, the USA and Japan.

Too Late to Try is a rockin' demo song.  Crunchy guitar intro and a super hook in the guitar solos!  

What are the lyrics about?  Is Too Late to Try about getting the band back together?  Maybe we'll find out one day for sure, but the gang sounds a lot like Weezer in the late 1990's.  Of course, I'm super happy this sentiment didn't settle in after Matt left to pursue The Rentals full-time.

We need to hear TLtT live soon!




Rockin' Demo!

What do you guys think?


Weezerpedia Entry for Too Late to Try.

There has got to be a Green album deluxe edition soon, right?

Project Info: 
So why did I create this blog?  To document my Weezer Song Project.  Over the next year, I am going to attempt to listen to every...EVERY Weezer song recorded.  All the album tracks and b-sides will be easy, but there are some unreleased songs that may or not be accessible.  Hopefully, the search (and destroy) will be fun to follow.  At the moment, the list has 214 songs!  My list includes You Gave Your Love to me Softly, Longtime SunshineTurn Me Round, Getting Up and Leaving, Waiting on You, and Back to the Shack.  We learned early this year that a new Weezer record is on the way and we got to hear Back to the Shack twice on the Weezer Cruise II.

So here is the master list from Karl et al. on Weezerpedia!
 I will soon publish my Google Doc Spreadsheet, which will document my progress.
Here is my Spotify playlist.

PLW Rater!  It's not quite Leonard Maltin, but it will work.
1 - Go get a beer...It's still a Weezer song, but it's a good time to rent a beer
2 - Head Bobber...The song causes at least moderate movement
3 - Rock it out...Banging of the head and the arm is in the air \m/
4 - Undone...No choice but to jump around
