'''"Losing My Mind"''' is the fourth track on ''[[Death to False Metal]]'' | '''"Losing My Mind"''' is the fourth track on ''[[Death to False Metal]]'' | ||
==Overview== | |||
====Development==== | |||
"Losing My Mind" is derived from the [[2000]] track "[[My Brain Is Working Overtime]]". The chord progression is the same, and some of the "call and response" vocals of the chorus are similar, but the two songs are otherwise drastically different. | |||
Despite its age, a revised version of "My Brain Is Working Overtime" came back into consideration by Rivers on [[May 3]], [[2004]], a demo entitled "Do You Really Want Me Down?" By [[July 7]], while still demoing and refining songs by himself, the song had evolved into some form of "Losing My Mind". | |||
====''Make Believe'' contender, ''Death to False Metal''==== | |||
"Losing My Mind" was completed during initial sessions for the band's ''[[Make Believe]]'' album in October 2004. The song was one of twelve specific songs initially recorded by the band after Rivers had done much writing and revising. However, after much reconsideration from the band in late 2004 and early [[2005]], several of these completed songs were cut, including "Losing My Mind", becoming one of what is known as the "[[The Fallen Soldiers|fallen soliders]]" of the album. | |||
In [[2010]], when assembling the ''Death to False Metal'' album, the completed 2004 version of "Losing My Mind" was reconsidered and included on the album. | |||
In a [[Scott Shriner Fan Interview 2008|2008 fan interview]], Weezer bassist [[Scott Shriner]] named "Losing My Mind" as one of his favorite songs that weren't included on ''Make Believe''. | |||
