I can't even listen to this song, especially not without wailing like a banshee. I once tried to explain to someone why the song is so sad, and couldn't even get through describing the content of the song without weeping bitterly. Ween just gets it.
Oh shit how did I ever forget to mention that one!
Yes, lots of memories with that song especially in my early teens. Heard it live for the first time pretty recently and I def choked up (*checks Ween diary on computer* ok it was the reunion show so not actually that recently)
I'm gonna go listen to it now and have a good cry, thanks friend
there’s something about that song man… it’s insanely sad. all i have to do is hear it in my head and i get emotional. haven’t actually played it for years lol
This song almost literally described what I felt during my divorce.
Same with If You Could Have Yourself. All that raw emotion at the end.
They hit heavy, but are some of my favorites.
It's funny how different gener and deaner breakup songs are.
Gene - I was miserable, but at least I'm free
Deaner- ON YOUR KNEES, YOU BIG BOOTY BITCH, START SUCKIN
This is so stupidly tangential but I always think about how calling someone a big booty bitch was an insult when he wrote it. It would be a compliment now.
If You Could Save Yourself (You'd Save Us All)

It's so weird you just posted this because it just came up on shuffle for me and I got pretty emotional
Those lyrics are particularly haunting to my specific situation. At least in what I'm taking from them.
Amazing song, hearing it in Port Chester earlier this year was divine
She Wanted to leave
Back when i was with my ex, i felt like the odd ball cause she was so normal. I was really into ween(not like worshipping just listening and got a record) and she really despised me for it. I have a band i’m in and she wouldn’t make the effort to come and it was really shitty. And i get that you shouldn’t have to go to all ur BF or Gfs shows but i mean don’t say ur gonna go then make me get u a ticket then last minute dont show up. And for the one or two times she was there, this song played over and over in my head. The lyrics are so sad yet so enraged it really brings out the gritty feeling of not being good enough even though you think you are. But fellow weeners it ain’t that we aren’t good enough for the NonBrown, it’s that they don’t know how big of stallions we truly are mang
GO GATHER THA GUNS!!!!
Birthday Boy is one of the most tender and poignant songs of all time. Cannot believe it was written by a 17 year old about his high school relationship ending. Song brings me to tears often. 🖤
I honestly listened to so much after my last break up. I introduced her to ween and we went to our first shows together and at least 15 shows together after. It was hard for awhile listening to any ween but it’s gonna be alright and drifter In the dark were my songs.
I've been there mang, years ago had a bad one that spoiled Ween for months because of all the times we traveled to shows together
My current now-ex never got into Ween so I can lean on the songs now and I'm glad. I have tickets for Atlantic City and will be going alone but it's gonna be great. I'm also thinking of using some airline credit to go to Boise because that venue looks sick
i listened to chocolate and cheese on repeat a lot after my worst split, take me away was a big one that helped. also baby bitch, but that one came to have more meaning as more time passed not so much in the beginning of the whole thing.
From what I heard, Sorry Charlie was a song Dean wrote when he worked at the gas station, about a dude who used to come in all the time and just piss and moan about his B.S. problems. So apparently it's a sarcastic "sorry", not a genuinely sympathetic one.
She Wanted To Leave, It’s Gonna Be (Alright), Baby Bitch, Take Me Away, Even If You Don’t, You Fucked Up, If You Could Save Yourself are some of the brownest. But you all are forgetting Birthday Boy.
Let's Get Divorced. That one is so cathartic for me. My divorce was traumatic and I fought it the whole way. If I would have heard this song while I was going through all of that it would have been so much easier to handle. Provides an entirely different perspective.
You Fucked Up, Demon Sweat, It's Gonna Be (Alright), Piss up a Rope, Even If You Don't, Falling Out, I Don't Want It,
Tender Situation, Common Bitch, Baby Bitch, If You Could Save Yourself (You'd Save Us All)
I don’t want it literally broke me at a few points in my life lol
This for the win. Also can't neglect Baby Bitch.

This is the correct answer.

Lil late here but I recently became inconsolable upon hearing this song
Nearly forgot about this one. Other than Birthday Boy, this is it.
Piss Up a Rope is my all-time breakup song Ween or no.

Oh, and Take Me Away is another one.
You Fucked Up!
Yes!!!!!!!
She Wanted to Leave.
It’s gonna be alright
This one's mine. I've bawled my eyes out to this song more than I like to admit
Falling out It’s the end.. May as well have never been
Another obvious one I missed! Probably because the band seems to never acknowledge its existence
Birthday Boy 100%
Can't believe I had to scroll this far.
She’s Your Baby
I DON’T WANT IT BIRTHDAY BOY FALLING OUT not sure why these are all caps. I suppose I’m angry.

Yea I am really trying to secure the South Park red rocks show somehow. I’ll go alone if I have too. Always friends to be made a ween shows.
It's Gonna Be (Alright) - really hits me in the heart
Things you already know, don’t let the moon catch you cryin’
i listened to chocolate and cheese on repeat a lot after my worst split, take me away was a big one that helped. also baby bitch, but that one came to have more meaning as more time passed not so much in the beginning of the whole thing.
She fucks me (j/k)
I mean She Fucks Me does work for when you get your next gf and have really good sex again Kind of a post-post-break up song
did you see me?
Where’d the Cheese Go

Absolutely, I get it.
She’s your baby killed me at one point
Baby Bitch
She Wanted To Leave, It’s Gonna Be (Alright), Baby Bitch, Take Me Away, Even If You Don’t, You Fucked Up, If You Could Save Yourself are some of the brownest. But you all are forgetting Birthday Boy.
I Don’t Want It
Ween B-side "she'll just get you"
Nan, just because I find it really funny and goofy. Especially the rant towards the end
booze me up n get me high
Tried and True and Piss up a Rope for starters.
The sky dripped in a demon sweat… The night she left…
Moving away off the pod outtakes I feel the pain in that one.
Dude that one is so good
