+"'''Save Me'''" (formerly "'''[[I Was Made for You]]'''" and "'''Someone Who Can Love'''") is a demo by [[Weezer]], recorded in contention for the band's fifth album, ''[[Make Believe]]''.

 ==Overview==
-'''"Save Me"''' is an unreleased Weezer track. It was first recorded as an acoustic song in 2003 by [[Rivers Cuomo]] and was later released on the [[Alone IX: The Make Believe Years]]. The song would then turn into the track "[[I Was Made for You]]" in spring of 2004. This version would eventually be released on the [[Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo|first Alone]] album. In June of that same year the song would undergo another retool into the song "[[Someone Who Can Love]]". It would later regain its original title when demoed by Weezer themselves for the album ''[[Make Believe]]''. It did not make the final cut.
+"Save Me" is, seemingly, unrelated to [[Save Me (2003 song)|the 2003 demo of the same name]] recorded during [[Office demos|sessions at the band's rented office space]]. The [[Recording_History_-_Page_14#09.2F07.2F03_acoustic_Office_demos|Weezer Recording History]] makes no distinction between the two songs, listing both with the [[Catalog O' Riffs]] number of 610, and the demo compilation ''[[Alone IX: The Make Believe Years]]'' lists both songs as "Save Me." The [[2004]] version of "Save Me" is a reworking of the Cuomo demo "[[I Was Made for You]]" (also listed as #610 in the [[Catalog O' Riffs|COR]]). Another demo titled "[[Someone Who Can Love]]" is listed in the Recording History as an early iteration of this version of "Save Me," though it remains unheard. Another title, "[[Please Save Me]]," is listed in the Recording History as having been recorded on [[December 19]], 2003, but it is unknown which version (if any) this demo is related to.
-Please Note: In 1998, Rivers created a song called Somebody Save Me, which had the same chord progression and type of melody for the chorus. It is unknown if this song stemmed from that.
+A demo recorded by [[Rivers Cuomo]] in [[1999]] titled "[[Somebody Save Me]]" bears a similar chord progression to this version of "Save Me," though it is unknown if this is is a coincidence.
+[[Recording_History_-_Page_15#6.2F11.2F04_Rivers_-_preproduction_demos_at_SIR_rehearsal_studio.2C_L.A.|According to the Recording History]], the earliest confirmed recording of "Someone Who Can Love" was by [[Rivers Cuomo]] at SIR Rehearsal Studios on [[June 11]], [[2004]]. The song was renamed "Save Me" by July, and was thereafter on Cuomo's "A-List" of demos for the band's [[Make Believe|planned fifth album]]. "Save Me" was recorded as a band during the ''[[Make Believe]]'' sessions at Grandmaster Recorders Ltd. throughout the summer and fall of 2004. The song was completed as of October of that year, but did not make the final album and received no final mix. [[Karl Koch]] would later dub these scrapped songs the "[[The Fallen Soldiers|Fallen Soldiers]]."
