"'''When You're Looking for Love'''" is | "'''When You're Looking for Love'''" is an unfinished song written by [[Rivers Cuomo]] and [[Karl Koch]]. It was included on the ''[[Video Capture Device]]'' in [[2004]]. | ||
==Overview== | |||
The song originated from a vocal idea concieved by [[Karl Koch]]. [[Rivers Cuomo]] adapted his lyrics, briefly playing them on acoustic guitar while in a hotel. A clip of Cuomo playing was included on the compilation DVD ''[[Video Capture Device]]''. According to Koch, the band was asked by their lawyers to give the song a name as well as official credits before including it on the release. The decision was made to register it as a co-write between Cuomo and Koch. | |||
Said Koch, after he was asked about the song in [[2022]]: | |||
{{Karl Koch quote|Well, it was in the VCD as i recall, in a video i shot in a hotel room. i had come up with the vocal idea, and Rivers ran with it on his acoustic guitar. I wanted to include the clip in the VCD but the lawyers were like "ok whats this song it needs official credits?" So it got officially registered as a co-write. It isnt really a complete song at all... we should finish it someday.|<ref>[[Karl Koch|Koch, Karl]] (as Karlophone). ([[April 7]], [[2022]]). [[Weezerpedia Discord Q&A with Karl Koch]].</ref>}} | |||
The clip's placement in the ''Video Capture Device'' indicates it was recorded around Spring [[1995]], during the [[World Domination Tour]]. | |||
