Pacific Sunset: Difference between revisions

"'''Pacific Sunset'''" is a demo by [[Rivers Cuomo]]. Several demos were released as part of the digital compilations ''[[Alone XI: The EWBAITE Years]]'' and ''[[Alone XII: The White Year]]''. Sections of the song later became part of the [[Weezer]] track "[[Run, Raven, Run]]."

"Pacific Sunset" was originally written in [[2015]] (or possibly earlier) in contention for Weezer's (''[[Weezer (The White Album)|White Album]]''), alongside a variation titled "Spirit Animal". Demos of the song were released in [[2020]] as part of the compilations ''[[Alone XI: The EWBAITE Years]]'' and ''[[Alone XII: The White Year]]'', though its inclusion in the former may be a mistake, as many of the demos included in ''Alone XII'' precede the demos included in ''Alone XI''. On [[December 10]], [[2020]], the project files for the song, for use with the music software Ableton, were made available as the first "Master Sessions" to be sold on the [[riverscuomo.com demos|demo storefront]] on [[riverscuomo.com]].

According to [[Rivers Cuomo]], "Pacific Sunset" was later demoed for the [[Weezer]] album ''[[OK Human]]''. The song was possibly briefly a contender for Weezer's ''[[SZNS]]'' series of EPs, though Cuomo confirmed on [[April 29]], [[2021]] that the song was no longer in contention (but that he was interested in repurposing the song's bridge).<ref>Cuomo, Rivers. ''Mister Rivers' Neighborhood'', 29 April 2021. Screenshot: [[:File:SZNS_ps.jpg]]</ref> The bridge (as well as the song's climax and final chorus) were ultimately appropriated as the bridge and climax of the ''[[SZNZ: Autumn]]'' track "[[Run, Raven, Run]]."
