Weezer's Lost Album - Songs from the Black Hole
Jump to Connections
42,094 Views • Feb 12, 2023 • Click to toggle off description
After their debut self titled "Blue album", Weezer set out on his next project. Their frontman, Rivers Cuomo, came up with an idea for space themed rock opera. But, when personal issues got in the way of the project, it was scrapped. Ultimately, what came from the fallout was their second album, Pinkerton. But, what happened to the rock opera? What was it about? What was Songs from the Black Hole?

This was my first fully live-action video, outside of my QnA. I made plenty of mistakes, but I think the video turned out to be one of my favorites! If you liked it, please consider liking and subscribing.

Following up a Nirvana video with a video that's 27 minutes and 27 seconds long had to be you inadvertently fucking with me

It’s a shame they never pursued any albums as dark as their Pinkerton era, but I’m glad we have the demos and extra tracks for us to enjoy

I have spent an uncomfortable amount of my life trying to make a concise track listing using the story notes for the album. I have the utmost respect for anyone who can make sense of this mess.

There's only one album that really comes close to Pinkerton for me and it's Songs From the Black Hole. You can imagine my excitement when I saw Goat Punishment pull out "I Just Threw Out The Love Of My Dreams" (possibly my favorite Weezer song) and "You Gave Your Love To Me Softly" last fall. For me, the definitive version is Operation: Space Opera. For those who aren't familiar, It's a fan re-recording and interpretation of the entire story. Each character has a unique voice actor and it has the polish of a finished album. Despite all of that, Pinkerton is still my favorite album of all time. I'd love to see you do a similar video on the sea opera (or lack thereof) and Ecce Homo. I feel like Ecce Homo now has the mystique that Songs From the Black Hole had in the 2000s.

honestly rivers writes so good that each of his songs can stand on it's own even without context

Linkara Also Superfriend is very cool when you realize that right after seemingly admitting his guilt in leading a girl on and using her he immediately tries to do the same to Laurel. Bro is just so good at writing about what a weasel he is

It’s really weird listening to the Alone version of Longtime Sunshine because it sounds really melancholic and almost hopeful towards the end when Rivers changes the one lyric before the final chorus and the strings (or oboe? I have no idea what instrument it is) kicks in. The Pinkerton Deluxe version on the other hand is so unbelievably soul-crushing and hopeless in the context of SFTBH (I’m pretty sure this is the version meant for the album). It gets even better with the acappella section that closes out the song which could be interpreted as Jonas’ past thoughts and memories of him on the spaceship flashing before his eyes as he’s swallowed whole by the supernova star which is even more depressing and always gets me sad on relistens.

I think so many of us love SFTBH because it’s like Pinkerton taken to the extreme, the lyrics and instrumentals are rougher, and the basic production makes everything feel more personal. I’ve listened to it most certainly as much, if not more than Pinkerton

I like your interpretation of long time sunshine, but I personally disagree with it. Despite what Rivers says about Jonas volunteering, I think the more compelling narrative interpretation is about Jonas self-immolating via supernova. To me, the best ending of the story has What is This I Find leading Jonas to a breaking point. Realizing the harm he's caused the people around him, in Long Time Sunshine he strands himself without the crew knowing as a way for him to "atone" for the abuse he caused. However, while burning, the voices of the crew are still there. His death will not fix anything, it will not heal the wounds he opened. So, even in death, he is still acting selfishly. It means that there's really no way out after hurting someone. There is no good way for the story of the Betsy II to end, it's bleaker and I think makes for a more interesting narrative.

Long Time Sunshine is such a wonderful song. I love playing it on the guitar. There is an excellent version at the tiny desk concert.
