goddamnit.. why couldnt this band just fucking die after pinkerton.. or maybe after blue.. srsly. everything since then has been shit.. and then there is this song... GODDAMMMNIT... why .. this song is so good.. but like 10 years late.. WTF
This was really odd for me. I just heard this song for the first time and the opening melody actually immediately put a lump in my throat. The song kept growing and growing until it reached the part about Nirvana and making your own band. It put the oddest grin on my face and oddest feeling in my heart. Like someone reminded me of something really important I forgot about. Like someone reminded me of happy, grand moments. So much in here that seems personal. It's called Heart Songs for a reason.
@amanKENNEDY I get that feeling to. I suspect many do, Nirvana was such an important band and this song is proof of that, even to artists that debuted not too long after Nevermind.
@Gulliver1229xD I know how Kurt is spelled dude. In some letters kurt wrote he would sometime sign the KurDt to be funny. Or just to be weird. Buy the Kurt cobain Journals...you'll see what i mean.
Do you just patrol comment lines on different videos like a spelling nazi?
@Gulliver1229xD I dont care what you are. You are one of those annoying people on youtube that feels the need to correct everyone's slightest spelling errors.
@Gulliver1229xD Not my journals as said before...If you leave your keyboard once in a while and stop spell checking every fucking word...you might find a book store. With Kurt cobains Journals. Its a book. Dumb kid.
@Gulliver1229xD I have to agree with Yarg, It's only a fuckin spellin mistake, I'm a grammar whiz but I make the occasional mistake, and if I'm correcting anyone, it's gonna be people I know, just to piss em off.
Only problem with this song is 1 inaccurate line. "Debbie Gibson, tell me that you think we're all alone" Nice line, but Gibson never recorded that song, it was Tiffany, she of the mall tour. Other than that this is my 3rd fave from the album after The Angel and the One, and Greatest Man Who Ever Lived. Pig is pretty damn good too.
I'm surprised about how totally outstanding songs from this album (especially this one, but also Troublemaker, Everybody get Dangerous and Pork and Beans) are mixed with strongly average ones on the Red Album. Honestly, if this album would be released with half of the songs, it would be twice as good.
@VivaLaHannah14 He was referring to one of Nirvana's album where it had a naked baby underwater chasing after a dollar bill attached to a fishing pole. The name of the album was Nevermind, look it up on youtube, you will see.
Fantastic song paying loving tribute to Rivers's musical influences. Not sure why the song got so much fan backlash at the time it came out, or why the band itself even seemed to reject, kicking the record playing it during their live show.
this is the first time that i've heard this song, Ive never actually bought the red album. n I didn't read the comments before finishing to hear the song... I have to say that asn a Nivana fan the bridge part totally rocked me off my socks... didn't see that comin. AWESOME as ever WEEZER.
Love this song! Has anyone noticed the "Do you believe what i see now" from "The world has turned and left me hear" (off blue album) near the end of this song?
This song is just amazing, there are no words to describe the amazing structure and sound of this song, I love weezer, and I don't know why this song isn't more popular than it is. Oh, and by the way, when people start saying that mainstream pop, rap, and hip-hop music is better than Weezer, you know life just fucked up.
Yeah, this song's the shit. Too bad the new Weezer album is shapin' up to be horrible. They're recording a track with Lil' Wayne, and everything else I've heard from it so far has been nothing but disappointing.
Just not my cup of tea. Not gonna argue with you over it, cause honestly if you like it, then that's just your opinion. Know it's been said over and over, but MUSIC = SUBJECTIVE.
It doesn't have to be a battle between genres. I grew up listening to bands like Weezer, but I also grew up listening to Wu Tang. There can be an appreciation for both.
The real argument, I think, is against crap music regardless of genre.
Yeah, I guess I have to agree with you on that one, but I just don't understand how people can like modern rap and hip-hop music... I don't know, to me it just sounds like cursing and some crap about drugs.... BUT old rap music was indeed good, but the modern stuff is like the mutant abomination of a def jam record and a bad stand-up comedian... I don't know, people like what they like I guess.
you sir have obivously not listened to only in dreams, across the sea, and lets sew our pants together. listen to those THEN say this is the best weezer song
90% of teenagers would panic if hannah montana turned into a lesbian. if ur the other 10 % that would be transsexual to do her in the butt wih a strap on copy and paste
Still have no notion why this wasn't released as a single. Probably for the sole reason that it doesn't sound like Weezer. With the right promotion this could have attracted a lot of new listeners. The outstanding track from that album, easily.
