The Paul Loves Weezer Project - Song 47 Photograph

Weezer is on tour!  Check the front page of Weezerpedia.com and Weezertix.com for the details.

It's #WeezerWednesday, watch for a new video on Youtube!  Here is the playlist.

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-seventh Weezer Song of the Day is Photograph, which is the second song on the The Green Album


Photograph Official Video by Weezer:




The video was shot and directed by Karl Koch.  It is Scott Shriner's Weezer video debut!  

I have seen Photograph performed live 5 times.  According to Setlist.fm it has been played live 255 times, since it was first played live in Japan in April 2001.  On the 2014 Spring/Summer tour, Photograph along with Blur's Song 2 have been the set closers.  Pat has been taking over on guitar and vocals and Rivers plays drums on these two songs before the encore break.  This practice is a throwback to the 2005 tour.

Photograph is the second song on the Green Album and was the second single.  The song was originally called "If you Want It."  The song features vocal harmonies in a power-pop crescendo.  It's a song about never giving up on love if you want it.  It's an really enjoyable song that isn't overly complicated.  The only real ding is the guitar solo is a bit too short and simple, but the great hook makes up for it.






Rock!

What do you guys think?


Weezerpedia Entry for Photograph.

Who is ready for the new Weezer album?

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
