Weezer - Weekend Girl

[@christinahamilton7676]

Pacific Daydream was specifically written to not include the word "girl" in any of the songs, which is how it became "Weekend Woman".

[@bajablink]

rivers needed to make a song about a girl so bad he just decided to find a loophole

[@8thFurno]

I personally prefer the change. Not only does the two syllables fit better with the chorus' vocal flow, but also the alliteration is a plus.

[@HalfAnimation]

0:33 i love that the lower register voice is still singing the original lyrics from burning sun

[@lzp12345]

The fact that a lyric like "She's getting lost in the light refracted" got cut is nearly criminal.

[@volutedmetal8543]

It makes me sad knowing how great of a line there used to be...

[@TheWretchedMammoth]

No kidding!

[@commentmanwhoeatsgahbage3022]

That's the line?! I heard "library traffic" and was so confused

[@twinkpeaks9993]

Bro this entire time I thought it was "the library practice"

[@mywhitenoise]

getting caught in the weekday traffic is much more relatable to me. Those moments you're sitting in your car listening to music, daydreaming.

[@johnjames529]

I love all 3 versions of this song: Burning Sun, Weekend Girl, and Weekend Woman.

[@skinnyneckhex]

They are all three SO GOOD, each in their own ways! I love all three as well.

[@bugorgans]

id do anything to have burning sun with the chorus of weekend girl/woman.

[@milkyway_WasntAvailable]

not sure if you'll see this but consider visiting "beautiful lies" it should be on youtube

[@darthmoop]

How am I just hearing this now? This is exactly what I always wanted Weekend Woman to sound like when I first heard it. Retains the energy and lines of Burning Sun, while still having the earworm chorus of Weekend Woman. Thanks for uploading

[@offtop5784]

oh my god this is amazing

[@TheWretchedMammoth]

So happy to hear this, Weekend Woman is my favorite song from the modern Weezer era. It's amazing to hear it as a traditional Weezer song.

[@onikaru]

A perfect mix of burning sun and weekend woman

[@shnorglebop1798]

Between Burning Sun, Weekend Woman, and this... this is prob my favorite. One thing missing from Weekend Woman was that awesome solo from Burning Sun and here it is!

[@Gabrn]

Probably my favourite too! They should have made a proper White follow up instead of Pacific Daydream

[@riverscuomo1584]

@@Gabrn As much as I love White, it's my second fav Weez album, behind Pinkerton. PD is not a bad follow up, neither is it a good one. It does some things well that would seem like a logical follow up, such as Mexican Fender, Weekend Woman, Sweet Mary, etc.

[@williambartholmey5946]

The bridge in Weekend Woman is better than this guitar solo that simply repeats the verse melody. What I like about this is the acoustic intro and the driving guitars during the verses.

[@SoniKast]

This solo is just the typical Green album kind of solo which makes sense I guess

[@SoniKast]

"Girl" fits better in the melody than "Woman" I feel, I'm ok with the verse lyrics in Weekend Woman but this is the one thing that shouldn't have changed I think And "I'm getting stuck in the weekday traffic" is a much worse lyric than "She's getting lost in the light refracted" I don't understand at all why he changed it

[@braydenfletcher8159]

I love Weekend Woman but imagine this on Pacific Daydream? This sounds phenomenal

[@BuIIet]

This seems so much more sincere than Weekend Woman. I hate when Rivers tries to refine his raw lyrics.

[@andreaspe5762]

I mean understand him. Pinkerton got eviscerated in the beginning and that did something to him, depsite all the retroactive praise and love he'll still be careful being too personal and raw

[@raditudesydney]

i'm dying for her why can't she be the one? to set my mind at ease i'm smiling for her but now the burning sun is setting on the seas ain't nothing i can do no spells that i can use but if my dreams came true i'd hold her every night fell in love on a sunday by monday morning i drifted away all i want is to see her all i want is to reach my weekend girl just can't seem to get back there she's getting lost in the light refracted all i want is to see her all i want is to reach my weekend girl i fell for her and got down on my knees but that was not enough ain't nothing i can do no spells that i can use but if my dreams came true i'd hold her every night fell in love on a sunday by monday morning i drifted away all i want is to see her all i want is to reach my weekend girl just can't seem to get back there she's getting lost in the light refracted all i want is to see her all i want is to reach my weekend girl

[@dtinagliastudios]

Yeah….

[@nittiotremo6563]

Weekend woman but better

[@RodieLEE]

burning sun exist

[@prettyboypop]

proof pacific daydream didn't have to be bad

[@shurbrrt]

pd wasn't bad, just could've been better.

[@shawwwstefani73]

@@shurbrrt its one of the worst albums ever

[@shurbrrt]

@@shawwwstefani73 not really, it's got some bad songs like la mancha screwjob and feels like summer but it's also got some good ones like mexican fender, qb blitz and beach boys

[@shawwwstefani73]

[@honeyconem]

@@shawwwstefani73 Are those Fantano's words or yours? I’ve listened to it a few times this month, It really isn’t that bad.

[@nekonikas3107]

this would the perfect if he said weekend woman instead of weekend girl
