'''''Ecce Homo''''' (Latin: ''"Behold the man"'') was the title for {{PN|Rivers Cuomo}} original draft of the album concept that eventually became {{PN|Weezer}} ninth studio album, ''[[Everything Will Be Alright in the End]]''. | |||
==Overview== | |||
[[Rivers Cuomo]] began developing the concept in [[2011]], deriving the title from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecce_Homo_(book) book of the same name] by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Nietzsche Friedrich Nietzsche]. The album cover would have been the 1474 Antonello da Messina painting "Ecce Homo",<ref>"File:Antonello da Messina 003.jpg" ''Wikimedia Commons''. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Antonello_da_Messina_003.jpg</ref> later used for the fan-club single "[[Everybody Needs Salvation]],"<ref name="eccehomo11">Ecce Homo 11.docx, ''[[Alone XII: The EWBAITE Years]]''</ref> and purportedly would have included a fold-out star map and a picture of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Babel Tower of Babel].<ref name="except">ExceptYouDie: A Weezer Repertoire. https://sites.google.com/site/exceptyoudie/everything-will-be/ecce-homo</ref> Several of the tracks from this collection would eventually appear on ''[[Everything Will Be Alright in the End]]''. | |||
==Synopsis== | |||
The album concept centered around the character [[Sebastian]] who, for deliberately ambiguous reasons, appears to exist throughout various eras of history and, over the course of the narrative, realizes the necessity of faith in a higher power. Some of these ideas carried over into the narrative of ''EWBAITE''. | |||
