==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
"Sacrifice" was initally written by [[Rivers Cuomo]] in [[2001]]. Immediately following completion of (and before the release of) Weezer's fourth album, ''[[Maladroit]]'', the band immediately began work on a fifth album. "Sacrifice" was demoed multiple times by Weezer throughout [[2002]]. Only one recording, dated [[July 2]], [[2002]], has been shared online with fans, though the song continued to be demoed thereafter, eventually being renamed "Flown Away" and "You've Flown Away." It is unknown how these later iterations differ from "Sacrifice." "Flown Away" was performed live once at [[Weezer concert: 11/03/2002|a secret acoustic show]] at The Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles on [[November 3]], [[2002]]. | |||

Cuomo's original demo was released as part of the digital compilation ''[[Alone VIII: The Maladroit Years]]'' in [[2020]]. | |||
