If I had my way, I'd probably put the This is Such a Pity chorus as a counter-melody to the Tell Me What You Did chorus. If Rivers ever hears enough fan love for this version of the song, I'd love to see him and the band do a pseudo-mashup of those two versions.
...or you know hed probably re-use it for a track on some spongebob movie or a track which takes parts of Crazy Train... Those 2 exemples are why I don't think Rivers should leave the demos as they are haha...
@Nome Cognome personally i think red is one of their best works, especially featuring deluxe tracks (mostly the 4 main deluxe tracks and their cover of the weight because i love the og song)
You tweakin rubin made this album the shit. Maladroit and green album were let downs but make belive at least brings some good blue album and pinkerton type songs

Gonna be honest, I prefer this song over what was released on make believe by a longshot. I know Make Believe is a make or a break album for most people, but as someone who is getting into Weezer 20 years too late, these are just my opinions. The chorus is so much more satisfying, with the guitars coming in and Rivers' melody over the top of the chords really works in my opinion. I also prefer the lyrics, as I found the ones in the final song to be a teensy bit cheesy. I know you could probably say the same about the lyrics in here, but I think they're just that tiny bit more interesting. The general vibe of this song just feels so much better to me. I wish this would be released on Spotify and/or just recorded in better quality. It's such a good sounding song, and I wish it had been released in some form alongside the final cut. The Solo and breakdown is so good, and I've found myself listening to this on repeat all day. I will admit, my opinion is biased due to my love for distortion on guitars, and my gravitation to songs with more oomph to them, but I do think my point still stands. This sounds way more like classic Weezer than most of Make Believe. I have seen people say that the sound is a lot more like something out of Pinkerton and I agree. I've seen people say that Make Believe is like a cross between the Green album and Pinkerton, for better and for worse, and I agree that it did change some of the songs. This one is actually a great example. In the pre-chorus you can kind of hear the tug between the two albums, before reaching the chorus which sounds very Pinkerton. This is described way better in MarcButEvil's "Make Believe - How One Album Ruined Weezer's Reputation" at the 21:14 minute mark. It's actually a really good video to look into if you're not very informed on Weezer's decline. In the end, I think this song is an absolute straight banger, and I wish it was released to something like Spotify, even with some other Demos or bonus tracks. Just my two cents though, feel free to disagree. :)
honestly i prefer this version than "this is such a pity", this gives a vibe much more similar to pinkerton and feels more personal than the finished product
i just love the demos so much more. i think it's because its not "clean" and produced that much. but hearing their demos gives me so much comfort edit: now thinking of it, probably because weezer was the first band i loved. so im just going to have unintentional comfort with them. idk.
I can’t believe how watered down This Is Such A Pity is listening to this. The chorus felt so empty in the final, and it sounds so much more complete here.
@@alexmott507 Actually I did buy that one back in 2016. I liked Summer Elaine and Drunk Dory but not enough to "break the curse" at the time. Thank you for suggesting the EPs.
@@alexmott507 summer and autumn? lol what? The obvious recommendation would be winter... I mean autumn is decent too, but Winter is their best work since MB/red
I like this. First time hearing it. There isn't a Weezer song i don't like, i love them all. The guitars, drums, vocals, lyrics, all of them are superb.
The pre-chorus is like the green album sound and the Pinkerton sound fighting for control of the song, with Pinkerton winning in the chorus. Shame this version Wasn’t on Make Believe. MarcButEvil described it perfectly
It's interesting, merely as a bridge between the original A5 Demos version of the song (the name escapes me atm) and the final version, which I absolutely prefer. But I'm admittedly a big Cars/new wave fan, which it homages. I dunno, I think people have a tendency to over-romanticize demo/early versions. The big riff parts could have bene re-used as the basis of another song.
I love following the song writing process and discovering the changes that were made as songs were being demoed! “She Who is Militant” turning into “This is Such a Pity” is one of the biggest leaps I’ve seen... I never even associated these songs with one another.
I can't believe MB got shafted so hard, could have been one of the best albums of all time if the critical reception of Pinkerton at the time made Rivers absolutely horrified at the idea of trying to reproduce that sound.
@@JaysonCarmona I get ya, no disrespect meant. I just find "This is Such a Pity" to be better arranged, have a higher quality solo, and have a better chorus melody.
@@MichaelDermotMusic i like this version more just cus the guitars sound more distorted but the vocal melodies on the chorus in the make believe version are so much better
Are we talking about the same This Is Such a Pity? Where the hell is the overexaggerated 80's aesthetic?! There's a reason this is my 4th favorite Weezer song!!!
It still follows the chord progressions of This Is Such A Pity. And for the notes in the chorus it's just the melody in the studio demo, except only playing the first two strings. Just more distortion
They're like, "we really don't want you to watch Chinatown in a theater. You see Chinatown or you eat dinner. But not both." What kind of fucking world is this?
Lyrics How is your heart little darling? I didn't mean to get so mad Let me just hold you closely How did things get so bad?

I feel like MarcButEvil described this song really well with the conflict of green and Pinkerton fighting
I agree
Which video did he talk about it? I wanna watch it

I honestly like more this version than the final version; it really feels like a Pinkerton Song
Most of their demos are like this, Rivers is stil writing these bangers and then they just fuck them up in the studio somehow
There's enough demos like this that, had Rivers decided to go in that direction, Make Believe could have been Pinkerton II
@@TheRenegade...it would’ve been a success though
People were more adapted to Pinkerton 9 years later
someone build a time machine to go back to 2004 and stop rick rubin producing weezer
@pinkeo that's true, at least the guy took the extra step and helped rivers tremendously
@pinkeo this is why make believe is the best weezer album
@Nome Cognome personally i think red is one of their best works, especially featuring deluxe tracks (mostly the 4 main deluxe tracks and their cover of the weight because i love the og song)

@@mlnhed1753 ahh yes because mental health is less important than a pretty good album.
this is actually an amazing track. If it was released as the official "This is such a pity" it might've been one of the best songs by weezer.
*LYRICS FOR THIS VERSION*
How is your heart, little darling?
I didn't mean to get so mad
Let me just hold you closely
How did things get so bad?
I know how to pick on you
You pushed me over the edge
We caused so much agony
We can't seem to move ahead
What is going on?
What is it we need?
Have we gone insane?
Is this just our greed
Fighting for a chance to survive
What kind of future will we have?
Will we ever find peace?
Everybody thinks we're crazy
They're about to call the police
I don't wanna be a chump
You think I'm a fascist pig
Right now everything is black
I don't think we'll ever give
What is going on?
What is it we need?
Have we gone insane?
Is this just our greed
Fighting for a chance to survive
All day, all day, all day
What is going on?
What is it we need?
Have we gone insane?
Or is this just greed
What is going on?

Have we gone insane?
Or is this just greed

They should have released this version its so much better than the official release
omg this chorus is a million times better
Nope don't think so
Come on!!

edit: now thinking of it, probably because weezer was the first band i loved. so im just going to have unintentional comfort with them. idk.
i feel the exact same
same man weezer is how i discovered my love for music
Same dude. Blue album came out a month before I was born. They were my first band too. Been listening to them since their start!
words cant describe how much i love 2:24
I cry with that part
I can’t believe how watered down This Is Such A Pity is listening to this. The chorus felt so empty in the final, and it sounds so much more complete here.
If i had a Weezer cover band, I would only play this version. =w=
PS: This is the first pro-Weezer vibe I've had since 2009. This demo is that good.
Hell my band rarely plays covers... but if we pick Weezer, it's gonna be this song.
If you haven't liked Weezer in a while, you should check out The White Album and their Summer / Autumn EPs from this year, they're outstanding

True Weezer fans remember when this song was originally “She Who Is Militant”
The best demo, probably
The Longtime Sunshine demo has got to be my favourite
Every month i feel the same about another demo LOL so much good stuff in these demo tapes
This sounds like it couldve fit in perfectly on one of the Alone albums. Like the officially released ones.
this is so cool i love weezer!!!
Such a pity that they scrapped 'All I Wanna Do'
you could say that
this is such a pity
If this was on Spotify I would listen to it constantly
In an alternative universe, I hope to believe that Ric Ocasek worked on Make Believe.
I like the final product but this good asf
I like this demo a lot. At first the verses threw me off, but I kinda dig them now. The choruses are reallll good
I like this. First time hearing it. There isn't a Weezer song i don't like, i love them all. The guitars, drums, vocals, lyrics, all of them are superb.
“Where’s my sex”
"can't stop partying"

This version is so much better
Someone put this on Spotify!
This chorus and the final releases intro and solo would drive me crazy
me 2 brother
cannot believe they released this is such a pity over this version’s layout. absolutely insane
For real bro
This is better then the release they should’ve went with this
“How did things get so bad” indeed
This song is fucking amazing
Damn this is way better than anything weezer has put out since pinkerton
I love both versions
Thank God I'm not the only one 😭 everyone's dragging This is Such a Pity but I honestly love both so much
❤
This is excellent
This song makes me get naked and dance while eating peanut butter!!!!
Listen to it every night!!!!!
Wtf this is way better. God damn it they always make classic Weezer shit then scrap it
Can’t believe they changed the lyrics. This is such a pity.
This sounds better than this is such a pity
i luv weezer too.
The chorus is soooo much better on this version!!!!!
the verses are a bit rough but the chorus gives off strong blue album vibes
It's interesting, merely as a bridge between the original A5 Demos version of the song (the name escapes me atm) and the final version, which I absolutely prefer. But I'm admittedly a big Cars/new wave fan, which it homages. I dunno, I think people have a tendency to over-romanticize demo/early versions. The big riff parts could have bene re-used as the basis of another song.
I like thew raw sound of this demo.
This is tremendously better than the album version
Most of their demos are, it's weird.
That was jarring going into the chorus.
woah
guess "she who is militant" turned into this is such a pity? weird process
Yep, and its all documented in half a million demos.
@@lazrpo little more exaggeration, it’s more like 6 lol
@@Imdone13Gaming lol there's legitimately 6 versions of She Who Is Militant alone, iirc. Rivers REALLY wanted this song to work!

Exactly with this is such a pity it's way too popy and overproduced also this sounds like something from Pinkerton
this sounds kind of like blue almost
it sounds like pinkerton more than anything
so gooooooddd
I think Rivers was going through an identity crisis when he threw this version out
Someone put this on spotify please 🙏🙏
This version feels so more personal =w=
Dude this stuff is so 90's and pinkertonish
Very awesome
this is way better
Are we talking about the same This Is Such a Pity?
Where the hell is the overexaggerated 80's aesthetic?! There's a reason this is my 4th favorite Weezer song!!!
I feel like the pitty is way better but a fully completed and produced version of this would still be really good regardless
anyone got tabs for this version? lol. The guitars are so much better than in the studio version
This song is way better then this is such a pity
WHAT IS GOING ONNN
🔥🔥🔥
i need a tissue for my nose
people who say the final version is worse are complete idiots. both versions are sick.
the chrous is clean it feels like a beat switch
🫶
This feels so Pinkerton
This is wayyyy better. Has a little Pinkerton in it too.
Vodka, that's what he needs
God wanted me off the street. Christ according to America wanted to judge me. I pray to God. That is my position.
=w=
Havent heard the original. Not the biggest Weezer head. But this is amazing how come this is not a proper song
At least the final name was accurate, it is such a pity that this song got gutted
I'm trying to make a cover for this song but can't find guitar tabs on the internet, might be tough to do it.
It still follows the chord progressions of This Is Such A Pity. And for the notes in the chorus it's just the melody in the studio demo, except only playing the first two strings. Just more distortion
The opening chords play, to me at least, sound like A5 to B5. power chords if you're unfamiliar w chords names
Hold me
anyone know what alone album this is on?
It’s on make believe but this version of the song never god published
@@Logannnnnnnnnnn i realized. I kept looking around and found the demo. Thank you though
They're like, "we really don't want you to watch Chinatown in a theater. You see Chinatown or you eat dinner. But not both." What kind of fucking world is this?

3:13
Very Pinkerton sounding.
TISAP has a much better chorus, but I like how the overall sound is closer to classic Weezer, and the bridge is sounding like a SFTBH demo.
This sound better than release
Lyrics
How is your heart little darling?
I didn't mean to get so mad
Let me just hold you closely
How did things get so bad?
I know how to pick on you
You pushed me over the edge
We caused so much agony
We can't seem to move ahead
This is such a pity
We should give all our love to each other
Not this hate that destroys us
This is such a pity
(This is a pity)
What kind of future will we have?
Will we ever find peace?
Everybody thinks we're crazy
They're about to call the police
I don't wanna be a chump
You think I'm a fascist pig
Right now, everything is black
I don't think we'll ever get it
This is such a pity
We should give all our love to each other
Not this hate that destroys us
This is such a pity
(This is a pity)
This is such a pity
We should give all our love to each other
Not this hate that destroys us
This is such a pity
(This is a pity)
This is such a pity
We should give
We should give all our love
All our love
All our love
All our love
All our love
All our love
