-{{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.
+{{Featured song artwork|Balladforthefallensoldierbrussels.jpg|A Ballad for the Fallen Soldier}} "'''A Ballad for the Fallen Soldier'''" (also known as "'''I'll Love You Every Day'''") is a song by [[Weezer]].
-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.
+[[Rivers Cuomo]] is first known to have demoed the song, under the title "I'll Love You Every Day", to his phone's recording app on [[March 27]], [[2015]]. This recording, featuring Cuomo singing over acoustic guitar, was released on [[November 23]], [[2020]], as part of the compilation ''[[Alone XII: The White Year]]''. Full demos were later released on [[December 13]], 2020.
-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.
+The song was first heard by fans when it was performed live by Weezer, as an instrumental, on [[October 18]], [[2017]] at the [[Weezer concert: 10/18/2017 - Brussels, Belgium|Ancienne Belgique in Brussels, Belgium]], wherein it appeared on the setlist under the title "I'll Love You Every Day". The song was listed at subsequent concerts under the title "A Ballad for the Fallen Soldier", and was performed for the remainder of the [[Feels Like Summer Tour]] in Europe in October of 2017. The song was performed one additional time the following December in Portland, Oregon. It followed the song "[[Happy Hour]]" at all concerts in which it was played.
