The [[ | [[Rivers Cuomo]] wrote "The Dawn" [[2001]], recording a demo to a handheld recorder.<ref>''[[Alone II: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo]]'', [[Alone II liner notes|liner notes]]</ref> The song shares its single-verse structure with the song "[[Your Room]]", written shortly thereafter. Cuomo's initial demo was released as part of the demo compilation ''[[Alone VIII: The Maladroit Years]]'' in [[2020]]. | ||
"Your Room" is first known to have been demoed during the recording sessions at [[ | "Your Room" is first known to have been demoed during the recording sessions at [[Maladroit_demos#Sage_and_Sound_.28SnS.29_demos|Sage & Sound Studios]] in Hollywood from [[August 29]] through [[September 8]], 2001, the first sessions to feature bassist Scott Shriner.<ref name="rechist13">[[Recording_History_-_Page_13|Weezer Recording History - Page 13]]</ref> The song was demoed several times over the next several months. The song was included with the "[[The Black Album (2001)|Black album]]" sets of demos recorded at [[Steakhouse Demos|Steakhouse Studios]] and [[Cello Demos|Cello Studios]]. The song made its live debut during a performance by the band for the HBO show ''Reverb'' (wherein the band performed as "[[Goat Punishment]]") at The Knitting Factory in Hollywood, though the performance of "The Dawn" did not air. The song continued to be performed during the [[Midget Tour|Hyper-Extended Midget Tour]] and was included in most setlists throughout the remainder of the year, frequently as the opening song. [[Karl Koch]] uploaded soundboard recordings of some of these performances to [[Weezer.com]]. The song was performed for the final time on [[December 11]] and was, apparently, abandoned shortly thereafter, as it was not attempted during the sessions for ''[[Maladroit]]'', which began a few days later on the [[December 16|16th]]. | ||
During live performances, [[Rivers Cuomo]] would often conclude the song by saying to the audience "Good morning", despite concerts typically being played at night. The [[December 6]] soundboard recording of the song begins with Cuomo saying "I like the way you smack my ass", in a reference to the song "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C968xW1s75I&t=3m22s Control]" by Puddle of Mudd. | During live performances, [[Rivers Cuomo]] would often conclude the song by saying to the audience "Good morning", despite concerts typically being played at night.

To date, no studio recordings of "The Dawn" exist in circulation, only live bootlegs and soundboard recordings. However, a similar opening guitar riff to that of the one used in "The Dawn" would be used in the [[2002]] demo "[[Hey Domingo!]]", which also shares a [[Catalog O' Riffs|COR#]] with the song "[[Peace]]", which appeared on the band's [[2005]] album ''[[Make Believe]]''. | To date, no studio recordings of "The Dawn" exist in circulation, only live bootlegs and soundboard recordings.
