Weezerpedia:Today's featured song/October 9, 2008
"No Other One" was originally written as "There is No Other One" in July of 1994. It was the last song Rivers wrote that would appear on a Weezer album before he became famous. The song is in 3/4 timing
Rivers wrote "No Other One" about a hypothetical girlfriend caught in a spiral of drug use. Despite this and her abuse, he doesn't want to leave her due to fear of loneliness. The song also makes a reference to snakes, the first of many animal references in the album's lyrics.
This song was originally intended for the abandoned Songs from the Black Hole and is therefore likely to be about Maria and sung from the perspective of Jonas. After losing his chances with Laurel, Jonas contents himself with having Maria by his side, despite his negative feelings for her. The song does not appear on Track List 2. (more...)
