Weezer - The Sweater Song (Acoustic, Solo, Cover, Sonic Sessions)

Here's my cover of Weezer's Undone (The Sweater Song), the acoustic version that they did with avant weird poet Tim "Speed" Levitch at the epic Sonic Sessions.

Pardon the singing. I think I'm the only person in the world that can harmonize with himself out of key. This is one of those songs that it's okay to be out of tune, right?

Had to write down the lyrics for Tim's part. Here they are:

In each of you is a reminder to the Earth of what it's capable of
You are all the reasons jumping, rational, lacidasical, irrational
You are ceaseless sieges on the city of joy
the reason agemennon went to Troy
the idol of gods, unbase yourself, at the knees of yourself
intelligence is not of this planet it is an experience
allow it to explode
destroy buildings I'm sorry I hurt your feelings
Did I lose that sweater or did it lose me?

And language was invented so people could lie
don't just I love you, let you're love perspire and fly
it is the most profound gymnastics an incredible callistenics
let me pole-vault you
let me cartwheel into your beauty in an ideal love affair
we never have to say I love you,
stutter first, by the way, I love you

Sweaters that are loneliness
which is a dellusion
Sweaters that immasculate
creating confusion
a giant refreshion
melting into suppression
sweaters of lydra
sweaters of spandex
we don't need them
sweaters of knitwear
creating the reason
Ceaser when to Gaull
We don't need the sweater
walk through the sweaters
Sweaters that murder and marade
sweaters that take over our lives
and remind us that we don't like the
way that we walk
sweaters
walk through the sweater apocalypse and find your own warmth

[RomanceExplosionLive]

@edbreeyan San Francisco, CA!!!! Pink Triangle's a great song, but I think I'm done with Weezer covers for a bit. I might do "Across the Sea" sometime in the far off future though. Cheers!

[edbreeyan]

awesome! i subscribed.. ^_^.. can you give me a tabs on the solo of this song?.. please... thanks

[RomanceExplosionLive]

I'm using the Blue Album tab book for reference. However, check ultimate-guitar (dot) com, the might have something on there that's close.

[edbreeyan]

thanks man... is the tab book really accurate? how much is it though?... i saw one on ebay for 13bucks..

[RomanceExplosionLive]

I bought it a looong time ago. It's accurate, but I'm sure you can find something pretty similar on Ultimate-Guitar (dot) com for free.

Second time I listened: It's sound better

Thirth time I listened: Damn it's sound good :p I had the sound in my head. Haha

[KoolThing14]

I've actually been using this version of the song as an exercise to teach myself to play and sing at the same time and every time I go back and look at this for reference, I wanna punch you in your stupid face for doing it so well.

[KoolThing14]
