I tried and I failed, I tried and I failed
It was the best thing that could have happened
There's nothing left here, nothing to care for
No one to talk with, no one to listen
I tried and I failed, I tried and I failed
It was the best thing that could have happened
Too bad you find it all so impressive
Too bad you see it as something precious
I tried and I failed, I tried and I failed
It was the best thing that could have happened
There's nothing left here, nothing to care for
No one to talk with, no one to listen

A Glorious Moment

"A Glorious Moment" is the twenty-sixth and final track from Alone III: The Pinkerton Years 1994-1997.
===Appearances===
*Alone III: The Pinkerton Years 1994-1997 (2011)
*Alone IV: The Blue-Pinkerton Years (2020)
==Overview==
"A Glorious Moment" is a spoken word recording from April 15, 1995, the day after Rivers' leg surgery to correct a congenital leg-length discrepancy, which is largely documented in The Pinkerton Diaries and helped influence some of the content from Pinkerton. A track listed as "1995-04-15 RC After Operation" in The 4 and 5 star demos of Rivers Cuomo likely refers to this recording.
==Transcription==
"It's 5:30 on... the 15th... the day after my operation. Um... I'm, eating saltines, drinking juice. I actually peed... for the first time... on my own. It was... a glorious moment. It was truly glorious. Now I'm going to try to... set up some music to listen to. Goodbye."

A Glorious Moment Teenage Victory Songs track review

We’ve already discussed the infamous leg operation that contributed to all the pain in misery of Pinkerton – an X-ray is featured in the single art for “The Good Life” – but this little tape-recorder snippet takes documentarian instincts a step further. Recorded the afternoon following the surgery, Cuomo reports he is “eating Saltines, drinking juice” after having just peed on his own “for the first time” (since yesterday, one presumes). “It was a glorious moment,” he says feebly. Publishing this clip is a funny and candid way to cap off Alone III: The Pinkerton Years, especially considering that disc was a companion to Cuomo’s journals dossier of the same time period. As with a similar track on the first Alone, though, it also underscores the ample wasted space on a CD that could have included legendary, still uncirculated demos like the solo piano recording of “Devotion.”

A Hundred Times as Good

"A Hundred Times As Good" is the sixth track from the debut album by The Special Goodness.
==Overview==
"A Hundred Times As Good" appears to be a pep talk to encourage someone - possibly Pat to a fellow Weezer member or himself, or his wife to himself - to strike out on their own . The song evolves from another song titled "I'm With You Sister".

==Lyrics==
How can you go on this way?
A waste of every day
It's meaningless and sad
And I just have to say
That no one really wants to see you try
They like how you don't bitch about your slice of pie
I think you're a hundred times as good
Now, what makes you want to stay?
I ask it everyday
It's not as if they had
Respect for what you say
'Cause they don't really want you to succeed
They're happy with the way you have a need for them
I think you should push them all away
Even if you stay and succeed
You will know that it's nonsense
And it doesn't wash off for a very long time
So don't be the one that didn't have the nerve
To stand up for yourself because you had to serve
Someone with some pretty dumb ideas

Brian Bell's Carnival Art makes an appearance with the song "Bring A Torch, Jeanette Isabella", which also makes clever use of the song "Welcome Christmas", from the perennial yuletide TV special How The Grinch Stole Christmas.

Recorded at Sweaty Elvis Studios in Los Angeles, the track is likely an outtake from the Chisolm-produced sessions for Thrumdrone.

I check my vital signs and then I realise
My life's a mess but more or less, I'm alright
(I check my vital signs)
Slightly depressed, yeah, but more or less, I'm alright

Ma, I'll be alright, mom, I said, alright
My life's a mess, I confess, but I'm alright

(Go into) To the night
(Go into) Just fly away
(Go into) Into another day
I walked into an empty record shop
The last one standing, the last one on the block
Broken down, nearly obsolete
I wave goodbye, crying in defeat
(Go into) Butterfly
(Go into) To the night
(Go into) Just fly away
(Go into) Into another day

A Rose Is a Rose

"A Rose is a Rose" is a song by The Rentals written by Matt Sharp. It is the first track on Chapter Three: The Future, the third and final mini album of the Songs About Time project.
==Overview==
The song's lyrics revolve around the American writer and poet Gertrude Stein and her famous sentence "Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose." from the poem Sacret Emily. At the age of 29 Stein moved from the United States to Paris, France where she spent the rest of her life. In the chorus Sharp sings about going to Paris. The French director and actor François Truffaut is also mentioned in the song.
A Japanese Version of the song was released as a bonus track as part of the deluxe edition release.
Coincidentally, the 70s New-Wave band also called The Rentals released a single titled "Gertrude Stein" in 1979.
==Lyrics==
Gertrude Stein, standing in the sunshine
Surrounded by the children of Truffaut
Fixing her hair, she sits in a director's chair
Cue the sound, let the cameras roll
Put me on a plane to Paris
It's time for me to go
where a woman is a woman
A woman is a woman
A rose is a rose
Gertrude says: "Why are we so out of focus?"
Out of focus, sliding off the road
Now come on people, think about your motivation
Pull it together, try to gain control
Put me on a plane to Paris
It's time for me to go
where a woman is a woman
A woman is a woman
A rose is a rose
Gertrude Stein wants to be a friend of mine
She calls me up on the telephone
She says: "My boy, I want a piece of celluloid
A little film to call my very own"
Put me on a plane to Paris
It's time for me to go
where a woman is a woman
A woman is a woman
A rose is a rose
Put me on a plane to Paris
It's time for me to go
where a woman is a woman
A woman is a woman
A rose is a rose

A Small Circle of Friends: A Germs Tribute

A Small Circle of Friends: A Germs Tribute is a 1996 compilation album.
==Overview==
A Small Circle Of Friends, as the title suggests, pays tribute to The Germs, a seminal, yet short-lived punk band from Los Angeles in the late 70s. Led by the mercurial Darby Crash (aka Bobby Pyn, the subject of the 2007 film What We Do Is Secret), and featuring future Nirvana/Foo Fighters member Pat Smear, the band managed to leave a mark on music history despite recording only one full album. Many relevant (or at least popular) acts of the mid-90s show their appreciation with covers of songs from The Germs' limited catalog, including That Dog, The Holez (Hole featuring Pat Smear), Flea (of the Red Hot Chili Peppers), and Matthew Sweet.

Ace Frehley

__NOTOC__
Paul David "Ace" Frehley is a founding member of Kiss and the band's original lead guitarist. Rivers Cuomo was hugely influenced by Kiss' music.
===Influence===
Frehley was pivotal in Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo's decision to pick up a guitar and begin playing, with Cold Gin being the first song that Rivers ever learned to play. Frehley's first lead vocal song, "Shock Me," was one of Cuomo's favorite songs growing up. More specifically, the ALIVE II version was his favorite guitar solo. It is likely that Frehley's signature lightning bolt guitar strap was a specific influence in Cuomo's decision to use a similar strap.
Ace Frehley is namechecked in the song "In the Garage". He is also listed on the map underneath the Pinkerton tray.
==="Ace" username===
In 2002, Cuomo posted on the weezer.com message boards under the screen name "Ace," and many of his posts have been archived by a former moderator of the site. Cuomo's attitude toward Weezer fans during this era of the band's history has become notorious because of these posts online. Cuomo took to what fans have called "trolling" these message boards with ridiculous posts. The term "DISNEYGAY" was coined in this era.

I know it's hard to figure this out
You're overcome by fear and self-doubt
But if you could see you with my eyes
You would believe your home is the sky
High up in Avalon
Someday, you will fly across the meadow
To find your flower as sunbeams
Warm the wings on which you fly
Cocoon for a while and shut out the world
Forget what you've seen, forget what you've heard
Look in your heart, and there you will find
Someone who's smart, courageous, and kind
High up in Avalon
Someday, you will fly across the meadow
To find your flower as sunbeams
Warm the wings on which you fly
Someday, you will love yourself as much
As I am loving you right now
So give yourself a little time
You are so beautiful
You are so beautiful
You are so beautiful
So beautiful, so beautiful to me

To find your flower as sunbeams
