==Overview==
==Overview==
"Living Without You" was apparently written in 2001, and was first recorded by the band during the late summer [[SnS Demos]]. The song was performed live at many shows during the [[Midget Tour]] series, as well as at several [[Goat Punishment]] shows later in 2001.
"Living Without You" was written by [[Rivers Cuomo]] in [[2001]]. Cuomo recorded the initial demo to an Olympus handheld digital recorder.<ref>''[[Alone II: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo]]'', [[Alone II liner notes|liner notes]]</ref><ref>"Maladroit Preview 2021-12-27 14.38.mp3" ''[[Alone VIII: The Maladroit Years]]''</ref> The song was first recorded by [[Weezer]] during late summer [[Maladroit_demos#Sage_and_Sound_.28SnS.29_demos|sessions at Sage and Sound Recording]] in Los Angeles (the first studio sessions to feature bassist [[Scott Shriner]]). The song was also demoed at Steakhouse Studios and [[Cello Studios]] in the following months. The band performed "Living Without You" live at various shows on the [[Midget Tour]], as well as at several [[Goat Punishment]] shows later in 2001.
 
The song was one of many that Weezer demoed and worked on during the ''Maladroit'' sessions, and is in fact the only completed non-LP song from the album's recording sessions that has been released.
 
The 'in progress' versions of the song released on the official site during the late 2001 / early 2002 sessions had slightly different lyrics. Originally, the line was, "I'll be your bestest friend", but was changed to "I'll be your best of friends" for the final mix.

Weezer worked on "Living Without You" throughout January of 2001 during the studio sessions for ''[[Maladroit]]'' at Cello Studios, though it did not make the cut for the record. Recording on ''Maladroit'' concluded in February of that year and within the month the band began [[Album 5 demos|demoing songs]] for a ''fifth'' album. The band returned for one additional session in April to finish recording "Living Without You," which appears as a bonus track on certain releases of ''Maladroit'' in the United Kingdom and Japan.

Because it hurts so very much
Living without you
 
And if you want to stay
These stupid games you play
Are not enough to stay
On, on, on and on now
 
Oh, good friend, I need you
Oh, you got a lot to say now</poem>
