"Always" was, at least at the time of its recording, a rather unusual Weezer track. It consists only of Rivers Cuomo on vocals and acoustic guitar, back by strings. Some fans have compared it to mid-period Beatles recordings, such as "Eleanor Rigby", which departed from the standard four-piece rock bnd approach, and ventured into experimental areas. | |||
There are two versions of the recording avialable. Initially released as a B-side to "Island in the Sun", this version was an incorrect short edit, which was discovered by [[Rivers Cuomo]] after its release. He then located the correct, longer version, and made a point to have it released, intiially on a Los Angeles area radio station charity compilation, and eventually on a promotional single exclusive to France. This promo, which also features two live tracks exclusive to it, is untitled, but is generally known by fans as the "Always" promo, making it a sort of 'unofficial' single. Curiously, "Always" appears as the third track, after the live tracks. The longer edit was also released as a free, 128K mp3 at the band's official site. | |||
