Weezerpedia:Featured song October 2022: Difference between revisions

With a runtime of 5:14, "Run, Raven, Run" is thus far the longest song the band has released during the ''[[SZNZ]]'' EP series. In discussing the song's placement on ''Autumn'', [[Rivers Cuomo]] described the song on his [[Mister Rivers' Neighborhood|discord server]] as "the culmination of all the fear terror and anxiety and the loss we're about to confront," on ''[[SZNZ: Winter]]''.

The song possesses a non-traditional song structure by Weezer's standards, employing dramatic changes in time signature and tempo between numerous distinct sections. This includes a crescendo that recalls other Weezer album closers like "[[Only in Dreams]]" and "[[The Angel and the One]]," with [[Pat Wilson]] playing steady eighth-notes, and Cuomo and [[Brian Bell]] playing ascending guitar lines. Rather than culminate in a loud guitar section, however, the song ends with Cuomo alone, singing the song's main refrain accompanied by a music box. Cuomo reportedly sang this portion of the song while he was sick with COVID.
