-{{Featured song artwork|Alone-II.jpg|The Purification of Water}}"'''The Purification of Water'''" is the third track from ''[[Alone II]]''. One of [[Rivers Cuomo's]] most lauded demos, it circulated among fans for years prior to its official release.
+{{Featured song artwork|The Relationship Album Cover.jpg|Mother Night}}"'''Mother Night'''" is a song by [[The Relationship]], written by Savic Enn and [[Brian Bell]]. It is the fourth track on the band's [[The Relationship (album)|self-titled debut album]].
-The song was originally recorded on [[January 2]], [[1993]], but the only circulating version was recorded in July of that year.  Karl has said the song was possibly never intended for Weezer, and that it seemed Rivers never quite felt satisfied with the song.
+"Mother Night" was one of the first Relationship songs heard by fans, originally released by Bell on the band's MySpace page. Like many of the songs the band would eventually release on their debut, the song underwent re-imaginings. The first features an acoustic drum recording, vocal percussion effects, and a synth string arrangement. Its chorus also includes a call-and-response backing vocal which would eventually be dropped. The second arrangement is quite different, as it is piano-driven and much more stripped down.
-From Cuomo's ''Alone II'' liner notes:
+The song was [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI4g2cAwvbI performed live] during Relationship's set on the [[2014]] [[Weezer Cruise#Additional Cruises|Weezer Cruise]], and has been performed solo by Bell a handful of times.
-  The next day Aliss and I said goodbye to each other as the King Size crew returned to L.A. She gave me a tape of a Guatemalan band named Garibaldi which I took with me and listened to a few times, thinking back wistfully on my Latin girlfriend. I recognized that the heartache I felt apart from Aliss was another good subject for a song. Specifically, I wanted to capture my pessimistic belief that the love I seek in relationships will always break my heart because all relationships must come to an end. I used a metaphor to stand in for my romantic longing: a thirsty gringo traveling south of the border, made sick by the water he so desperately seeks. The song was called '''"The Purification of Water"
