"Love Is the Answer" was written by [[Rivers Cuomo]] and is first known to have been demoed for potential inclusion on the album that would eventually become ''[[Make Believe]]''. The song was included on Cuomo's "A-list" throughout the Spring and Summer of [[2004]], when it went by the title "Take It Easy", before being renamed "Love Is the Answer around July. The song was being considered for inclusion on ''Make Believe'' until near the end of production, even appearing on the Amazon track listing mere months prior to release [https://www.weezerpedia.com/wiki/File:Amazon_screenshot_(1).jpg]. The song was completed at Grandmaster Recorders in Los Angeles as of October 2004, but ultimately went unused, making it one of the so-called "[[The Fallen Soldiers|fallen soldiers]]" as dubbed by [[Karl Koch]]. This version remains unheard by fans except for a short clip played to fans by Koch during a Stickam chat. | "Love Is the Answer" was written by [[Rivers Cuomo]] and is first known to have been demoed for potential inclusion on the album that would eventually become ''[[Make Believe]]''.

'''Rivers:''' That one was really cool 'cause we got Amrita Sen, who's an Indian woman, classical singer, to come down and she did this beautiful vocal in Hindi. And one of our friends was playing Sitar. It is a very new sound for Weezer. | '''Rivers:''' That one was really cool 'cause we got Amrita Sen, who's an Indian woman, classical singer, to come down and she did this beautiful vocal in Hindi.
