"Broken Arrows," also known as "Love Canopy," is an unreleased Weezer song demoed during the Maladroit recording process.
Contents
Overview
There are three versions of "Broken Arrows." The song was first recorded by Weezer lead singer Rivers Cuomo on a phone answering machine. During the Maladroit sessions, Weezer recorded this song on both January 3 and 4 of 2002.
Reception
"Broken Arrows" has received varied responses from fans. Its original demo, sometimes referred to by devout Weezer fans as the "answering machine demo," is often praised as one of the few emotionally charged songs of the Maladroit era. Many fans criticize later, full band versions of the song for its heavier, more rock-oriented feel. "Broken Arrows" has yet to be discussed on Teenage Victory Songs, but it was praised in an entry for "Hot Tub:" "The Weezer discography is one fraught with criminal omissions. Why didn’t “We Go Together,” “Broken Arrows” or “Diamond Rings” make Maladroit?"
Personnel

Lyrics
<lyrics>Every hour every day Since you've gone far away It's a love canopy of dreams And broken arrows And broken arrows
Baby don't you know No Get in the car Just before we go We go We go
Every hour every day Love it seems far away It's the last chance to be with you And hear your heartache And hear your heartache
But baby don't you know No Get in the car Just before we go We go We go
And after all that we couldn't say Oh no I turned to you and said "anyway" Oh no He had no right no We stood and fought I need love I need love
Baby don't you know No Get in the car Just before we go We go We go
Every hour every day Every hour every day </lyrics>
