Everything Will Be Alright in the End now has a Weezerpedia page!

In honor of the new album announcement and Ric Ocasek, I'm going to go through the Green Album and it's b-sides.

The forty-sixth Weezer Song of the Day is Don't Let Go, which is the lead track of The Green Album. 

Don't Let Go by Weezer:

(2005 AOL Session)

I have seen Don't Let Go performed live 3 times.  According to Setlist.fm it has been played fewer than 160 times, since it was first played live in February 2001.

Don't Let Go begins with the kick drum and feels like a Weezer song.  It was a great choice to start out The Green Album.  It's a damned happy song with a fun guitar solo.  There were several changes made to the recorded version of the song after initial pressings and especially the live version.

It is kind of a transitional song between Pinkerton and Green.  The sound is very Green, but it is thematically reminiscent of 1990's Weezer.  The lyrics are akin to love worship, even going as far as:  

I'll be down on my knees begging for that girl to stay

Rock!

What do you guys think?

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 Sunshine, Turn 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
