I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams: Difference between revisions

"I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams", commonly [[List of common abbreviations used on Weezer forums|abbreviated]] by fans as "IJTOTLOMD" is an interesting song because it was the only ''Black Hole'' demo to receive proper SFTBH treatment; that is, it has the female vocals (sung by [[Rachel Haden]], who would have played [[Laurel]]), it's sound is exactly how SFTBH would have sounded (multiple singers, heavy "spacey" EML Electrocomp 101 synth) and it was officially released.

IJTOTLOMD was played at a soundcheck while Weezer toured with That Dog.  During the soundcheck, Rachel sang lead vocals.  Additionally, Rachel sang lead vocals on [[Superfriend]] at a soundcheck (showing that she was at least familiar and most likely on board with the concept before it was abandoned).

The original demo was intended to be for ''Songs from the Black Hole''.  It was sung by Rivers Cuomo, but pitch shifted to show that it was meant to be sung by [[Laurel]], who at the time would be played by [[Rachel Haden]].  In the song, Laurel sings about rejecting [[Jonas]], despite being in love with him.  Some lines could refer to a lover she has back on Earth ("Even though my love's a world away"), or perhaps Jonas left for his mission and landed on [[Nomis]], leaving Laurel on [[Betsy|Betsy II]].
