The Angel and the One: Difference between revisions

"'''The Angel and the One'''" is the tenth track off of ''[[Weezer (The Red Album)|The Red Album]]''.

"The Angel and the One" is a reworked version of the song "Bad Girl". Many [[Weezer]] fans have noted that "The Angel and the One" is one of their favorite tracks on ''[[Weezer (The Red Album)|The Red Album]]''. Strangely, the song has not been played live until Weezer's [[Australasia Tour 2013|Australasian Tour]] in 2013. Drummer Patrick Wilson has stated that is his favorite song from the album as well. The song has been compared to [[Only in Dreams]], due to it's length and the way that the song builds, slowly getting louder. Almost every lyric of the song rhymes, and Cuomo claimed he wrote this song in an attempt to write a nontraditional song.

And I just wasn't satisfied with it. It wasn't moving me spiritually enough. It was too normal. So one day I sat down with my acoustic guitar and I just played that song over and over on basically looping it. My fingers hurt so much, but I just kept playing it. And over the hour that I was playing it, the song slowly evolved and it smoothed over and the sections blurred into each other. And it turned into this spiritual reverie that is really just one long development with out any distinctions between sections. Every line in this rhymes and the melody just gradually gets higher and higher and the music gets louder and more powerful... There isn't any study of music in that song. It was just the desire to breakaway and not write a standard three minute pop song.''<br></blockquote>
