 ==Overview==
-It was then recorded during the band's second attempt at making ''[[Make Believe]]'', at Grandmaster Recorders in Los Angeles, CA. It was one of 12 songs that Rivers Cuomo asked to band to only concentrate on, as well as part of the early ''[[Unchained Melody]]'' working album. The ''[[Unchained Melody]]'' version has a roughly 2-minute instrumental introduction ("[[Me and My Posse]]") appended to the beginning.
+"Always, Forever" is first known to have been demoed by [[Rivers Cuomo]] at S.I.R Rehearsal Studios in [[2004]]. The song underwent several iterative rewrites throughout the year under multiple titles, ultimately culminating in the song "[[Last Chance]]," which was completed by [[Weezer]] during the final ''[[Make Believe]]'' sessions at Grandmaster Recorders in Los Angeles, but did not appear on the final album.
