==Overview==
==Overview==
"Private Message" was worked on extensively throughout the [[Album 5 Demos|sessions for the band's planned fifth album]] in [[2002]]. It was recorded at various studios beginning as early as February of 2002. "Private Message" was one of the first post-''[[Maladroit]]'' [[Weezer]] songs to be uploaded to fans, released before ''Maladroit'' was even in stores. Later the song was practiced acoustically at [[S.I.R._Demos|S.I.R. Studios]] in late [[2002]]. It was performed at a secret show at [[Weezer concert: 11/03/2002 - Los Angeles, CA|The Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles, CA]]. The song was worked on again beginning in November of [[2003]], though it did not appear on the resulting album, ''[[Make Believe]]''. Weezer guitarist [[Brian Bell]] later reworked the song into a demo for his band [[Relationship|The Relationship]] titled [[Hand to Hold]], released on MySpace in April of [[2007]].

You think that I'm just some dumb, horny guy

I'm trying to show you a hint of my coolness
I'm trying to show you
But I can't give up on the secret (deep?)
A hint of my coolness
But I can't give up on the ???
'Cause love is so empty when you can cheat
'Cause love is so empty when you can cheat
