Ween self-released several cassette albums from their formation until 1989. Afterward, they put out three officially-released lo-fi albums: GodWeenSatan: The Oneness (1990); The Pod (1991); and Pure Guava (1992). For Pure Guava, the band signed with major label Elektra Records. The album spawned the single "Push th' Little Daisies", which was a chart hit in Australia and the United States. Under Elektra, the band released four professionally-recorded albums: Chocolate and Cheese (1994); 12 Golden Country Greats (1996); The Mollusk (1997); and White Pepper (2000). They later returned to independent labels for their albums Quebec (2003) and La Cucaracha (2007). After a 28-year run, Freeman quit the band in 2012, citing the need to focus on his alcohol and drug addiction issues. Ween reformed in late 2015 and toured extensively with no stated plans to release new recorded material.
For their first ten years of existence, Ween performed live as a duo backed by a Digital Audio Tape. With the release of Chocolate and Cheese, they expanded to a four-piece act, later adding a fifth member as well. Their live members include Claude Coleman Jr., Dave Dreiwitz, and Glenn McClelland. Ween also collaborated extensively with Andrew Weiss, who joined the band as a bassist in 1989 and also produced five of their nine studio albums. Despite never receiving much mainstream recognition, Ween developed a large, devoted cult following and garnered critical acclaim.

Sarah
Ween Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will tell you what you mean to me, Sarah
I know this big world ain't always what it seems, Sarah
Forever may I love you, and forever may you dream, Sarah
When I find you in your sleep, Sarah
I will tell you what you mean to me, Sarah
The lyrics to the song "Sarah" by Ween are about the deep love and connection the singer has with a woman named Sarah. The repeated phrase "When I find you in your sleep, Sarah" suggests that perhaps the singer is not always able to express their feelings to Sarah during waking hours. This dream-like state also reinforces the idea of a profound emotional connection that goes beyond the physical world.
The singer promises to "tell you what you mean to me" when they do finally encounter Sarah in her sleep. This suggests that the depth of their love may not always be communicated fully in their waking interactions. The line "Forever may I love you, and forever may you dream" reinforces the idea of a timeless and limitless love that exists beyond the constraints of earthly limitations.
Overall, the lyrics to "Sarah" express a deep emotional connection between two individuals that transcends time and space. The dream-like state of the lyrics reinforces the idea of an otherworldly, spiritual connection that is not bound by physicality.

I met this beautiful girl at a best western when I was 14. She was there with her family and so was I. For that weekend we hung out and talked by and in the pool. Then one morning she was gone. Her name was Sarah. I often thought about her after that and this song reminded me of her. I remember listening to this song after I got back home in 1992.

A few years ago, I met this beautiful amazing girl also named Sarah. Her sister lived in my same town and she was visiting her from Canada for the month (Unfortunately Edmonton & not Quebec as would be even more appropriate given Ween's discography). We had a beautiful connection for that month she was there, spending as much time together as possible. We managed to keep up through texts and calls sporadically for a year after that before we lost touch. I would see her randomly visiting a couple times after that, but the same magic wasn't there. It was like we had become strangers after all that time. Eventually her sister moved away, ensuring we would likely never cross paths again. Anytime I listen to this song, though, I think of her and that magical month. In a way, I wished it could have lasted longer, but if it did, it probably would have lost some of that magic. This song captures that feeling well for me.

I love Ween's ability to do a fake-out song ending so convincingly.

Being as crazy as Pure Guava is, this beautiful song comes and goes out of nowhere. Its stood out from the first time I ever heard it...
