The song I had written that day was a song called '''"Walt Disney" (Track 15)'''. In this song I tried to describe the frozen, numb condition I had fallen into after seven months in the spotlight on the road. The song had a beautiful, mellow sound. I really appreciated it and was grateful to it. It did capture the state of my life at the time: the "phone singing" in the third verse standing in for Weezer's manager calling me to go over the details of our impending tour, which I clearly dreaded.}} | The song I had written that day was a song called '''"Walt Disney" (Track 15)'''.
