-{{Featured song artwork|Vanweezer cover.png|I've Thrown It All Away}} "'''I've Thrown It All Away'''" is an upcoming song from ''[[Van Weezer]]''. The track was originally written in [[1993]] by [[Rivers Cuomo]], [[Patrick Wilson]], and [[Jason Cropper]].
+{{Featured song artwork|Weezer Maladroit.jpg|Living Without You}} "'''Living Without You'''" is a ''[[Maladroit]]'' outtake that was released as a bonus track for international editions of the album.
-According to the [[Recording_History_-_Page_4#Late_Winter.2FSpring_1993:_Various_8_Track_recordings_by_Rivers.2C_and_Pat.|Recording History]], "I've Thrown It All Away" was originally conceived by Wilson, who recorded down versions of the song with only drums and bass to 4-track, with an additional version thereafter recorded using a Yamaha workstation. Cuomo recorded a demo of the song in February of [[1993]], later including it in the demo cassette tape ''[[Monterey Jack]]''.
+The song was apparently written in 2001, and first recorded by the band during the late summer [[SnS Demos]]. It was performed live at many shows during the [[Midget Tour]] series, as well as at several [[Goat Punishment]] shows later in 2001. The song was one of many that Weezer demoed and worked on during the ''Maladroit'' sessions, and is in fact the only completed non-LP song from the album's recording sessions that has been released.
-On [[April 14]], [[2020]], Cuomo hosted an ''[[List_of_Rivers_Cuomo_video_streams#Island_in_the_Zoom|Island in the Zoom]]'' stream over the video conferencing platform Zoom in which Jason Cropper appeared as a guest. Cuomo mentioned during this session that Cropper had co-written an old song (later confirmed to be "I've Thrown It All Away") that would be appearing on ''Van Weezer'' and sang the beginning of the first verse [https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=202&v=fOkTmq3x87s]. On [[December 9]], [[2020]] Cuomo released the [[1993]] demo of the song (albeit with a truncated ending) on the [[riverscuomo.com demos|demo storefront]] on [[riverscuomo.com|his personal website]], as part of the compilation ''[[Patrick & Rivers]]''.
+The 'in progress' versions of the song released on the official site during the late 2001 / early 2002 sessions had slightly different lyrics. Originally, the line was, "I'll be your bestest friend", but was changed to "I'll be your best of friends" for the final mix.
