  • longest...build up....EVER!

  • ...its funny. this song is the anthem of my life right now =/ can't stop thinking about her

  • @BlackHawkGaming mine too. she's really smart, sexy and funny. but the problem is, she's my boss' girlfriend, and i can only admire her from afar...

    yeah, so, only in dreams...

  • @jacxalz13 in my case, she's the cutest thing i've ever met, we share some music interest, she's funny, she has the softest touch, pretty much everything about her is admirable. problem for me is she's my good friend's girlfriend. i always feel awkward talking to her while he's around. she refers to me as her "BFFFF" (idk if thats good or bad) and we text each other quite a lot. but anyway, there's always hope, never give up

  • its funny. I was born in 94 (still not early enough for me i wish i was an 80's guy) anyway, i was born in 94: the year weezer released their debut album/one of their best albums in my opinion. Today, they are like my all time favorite band. Nothing else compares. Sadly, their newer songs don't have the traditional grunge garage sound this album had

  • you realize the album was referred to commonly as the Blue Album (1994 album) right?

  • Back when Weezer was good! I remember those days because I was still alive!

  • @icu812yum I'm glad you weren't dead back then!

  • love listening to this

  • My Number 1 Most Favorite Weezer Song!

  • Dealer: take a bag of grass, then they'll get it.

  • 69,669...fuck yea

  • this song is like my lullaby

  • It is so sad to think there are people in the world who have died without ever having listened to 'Only in Dreams'

  • RIP Mikey Welsh

  • @Dragforce69 I am sorta new to Weezer, is that one of the band members or a family member?

  • @Jeroshio1 the bassist who made this great bassline

  • @Dragforce69

    Actually he joined the band after this song was released, Matt Sharp is playing bass on this track.

  • @FunkySkunk55 yea my friend corrected me on that a while back... oops, still sad news to hear

  • epic

  • DAT FEEDBACK. man rivers knows how to write a good song. Two things i enjoy:

    1) how he personifies his ideas as women. fucking genius

    2) dat feedback. builds up so much tension during the break down and then boom climax into the chorus.

  • best bit of live music ive ever seen... california, open air, beer, sun... two minutes of build up and then fireworks and orgasms at 6:46

  • My favorite track from my favorite album from my teenage years. I had the cassette when it came out and left it in a friend's car and it wound up saturated in McDonald's BBQ sauce!! Not a good combo! I bought it on cd about ten years later and at my first listening in ten years, It honestly brought tears to my eyes!! It was like rediscovering a lost friend, the true test of a classic album!!

  • This song makes me so sad, but I can't stop listening to it.

  • 6:46 on = goosebumps

  • I love this whole song, but from about 4:45 on is just genius and one of the most amazing things I have ever heard.

  • @birthdayinjanuary half way through 2011 get over that shit SON

  • My friend. "Its 8 minutes long but give it some time" Me: "DUDE its Weezer!"

  • Only in dreams .....

  • 5 people are jealous they cant keep someones interest for 8 minutes

  • I love the way this song rocks for 8 minutes. Great riffs. I miss this style of weezer. I feel like they have no lead guitarist in all of their new stuff. But I agree, quite easily arguable for one of their best songs ever...

  • i wish weezer would make more songs like this im not rlly likeing thee new stuff

  • i wish weezer would make more songs like this im not rlly likeing thee new stuff

  • I like this song A LOT!

  • easily the best weezer song

  • I was moved to rears by this song.

  • @DRTAKASAWA AHAHAHAHAHA Who's rear did you move to? xD

  • this is some of the last real music.

  • alot of ppl r complaining about how their favorite band is changing and what not. its really an understandable thing, imagine yourself being an artist and producing the same style music for years. as music artist they have a naturally erge to create something different and new and step out of their comfort zone a little. weezer prolly just wanted to accomplish some new goal, they wouldn't be making any progress as artist if they just stayed the same.

  • Likely the best alternative rock album in the history of the world.

  • 4 people clicked the thumbs down expressing their opinion over the video in a clean, eagerly manner.

  • I don't care if I sound like a hipster asshole- Weezer sold out big time. I'm all for a band going mainstream, but when they did they completely changed. Their music lost the unique sound and intelligent lyrics, and their image completely changed- first they were nerdy, then they tried to be overly punky, then... Hurley's face? I shouldn't complain too much. At least we have amazing music like this thanks to Weezer. It's just a shame when a good band sells their soul, you know?.

  • @IamIndeedLayingAnEgg Rivers Cuomo poured his heart out in the Pinkerton Album and everyone hated it. it destroyed him, in a muchmusic interview he admitted to selling out, wanting to be famous, had enough of it

  • @IamIndeedLayingAnEgg They turned down hundreds of magazines and shows so that they could last a long and not sell out and fall off of the face of the earth one year later..i think they are just comfortable now.

  • @bplumb82 Ah. Well then. I guess I AM just a hipster asshole complaining because he doesn't like the fact his favourite band went mainstream :p

  • I'm on a total weezer nostalgia kick. It all brings me back to the days of puberty and prepubescence. I haven't listened to this stuff in years. Love it. Its that much better because of its absence.

  • <3

  • I CAN LISTEN TO THIS SONG ALL DAY LONG

  • mariah carey used this bassline on a new track - great chord progression

  • This, this is how my days begin every morning I step into my truck and drive to school.

  • This will be an amazing song 20 plus years from now. When I first listened to this album many years ago out of all the songs that became popular that you heard on the radio a lot I liked this one the best but I never once heard it played on the radio and it has to be one of the best ones on this album. :)

  • The bass in this was actually written by Rivers not by matt sharp, such an great riff

  • The instrumental at the end... AMAZING... a masterpiece of music. I miss the old Weezer :(

  • This song has stuck in my mind for 14 years. It moves me forward in life.

  • Mum : were are you going Lloyd?

    Lloyd : To 4 peoples houses

    Mum : what are you going to do there?

    Lloyd : beat the shit out of them

    Mum : why?

    Lloyd : they dont like 'only in dreams ' by weezer

    Mum : wait up, lemme bring my baseball bat!

  • @ThatThereBand best comment i've seen in awhile

  • @ThatThereBand its funny because after you said that, there have been no more dislikes :D

  • @ThatThereBand too bad the dislike bar is anonymous and you'll never find em

  • @ThatThereBand can you guys please shut up about who loves what?

  • @ThatThereBand You've got two more people to visit.

  • @ThatThereBand Hey let's hate people for not liking the same music. Idiot.

  • @ThatThereBand Dad: Screw the baseball bat, take my shotgun.

  • @mooper11 @ThatThereBand

    Sister: Oh grow the fuck up, you're not going anywhere.

  • Um im loving that glowing background ALOT

  • Absolutely fabulous song... about the fleeting hope of grasping the unnattainable... I was on the other end of the spectrum, someone else craved my attention and I left her standing... she loved this song, and years later I finally understand why. I should have been better to her.

  • I remember listening to this while lying in bed at night in high school, staring up at the ceiling, envisioning the crush of the month dancing with me and sharing my feelings. how naive I was!

  • @turkeysub3000 my god, I did the same... back in 95... in England

  • thanks for the upload, dude!!! I love how quick and epic it starts getting at 5:28 and god just the whole song *___*

  • Wow. Thought you had to be a certain age to be nostalgic... guess not.

  • best song ever made. absoluteley.

  • friggin Matt Sharp....You leave Weezer and leave behind all this great talent. You sound like a moaning kangaroo when you sing in the rentals. Plz return and join Scott in bass. -.-

  • @TheBigCheeseSauce That would be nice, but that wont happen. They wanted to get him for their new tour, which is all about blue and pinkerton, but they dropped it early on...

  • This is epic.

  • theres this one girl i know, that i would wanna walk up to and ask to dance. if only she would take the chance. this song is definatly one of the best.

  • @ZephyrSamurai Do it. Thats how I met the love of my life in High School and I think of her every time I listen to this song. It's better to try and get rejected then living through life always asking what if? Good Luck My Friend.

  • Includes one of the most epic build ups ever

  • This song is awesome, i love playing it on bass :D

  • @IIamLUKE hahah ditto <33333

  • @SparklyCheeseburger Your Awesome :D thanks for the Reply :)

  • shes in your bones

  • @thecheesburgler she is your marrow and your ride home =]

  • i didnt truly understand this til i was stoned one night and i must say it blew me away i love this song

  • one of the greatest songs of the 90's and arguably weezer's best song....

  • @dread1only indeed...to describe this song in one word is 'masterpiece'

  • must be the longest crescendo in rock. wicked tune.

  • LOve this song! It really takes me back!

  • Amazing!

  • My boyfriend dedicated this song to me...I have to say at first I didn't realize the meaning, or how special it was. It's almost been two years together, and I haven't heard this song in a while. I'm in love with it- the bass part and especially the lyrics. I hope someday I can play it with other great people and sing it for him, because he means the world to me. I'm glad I said yes when he asked me to dance that night I met him. Weezer, thank you for an incredible, beautiful song.

  • Weezers Best SONG!

  • love the bass line, love the guitar solo at the end, great song

  • For some odd reason i had a sudden impulse to listen to this song.. Glad i did.. :] classic happy feel good song.

  • i love this song

  • Epic bass riff.

  • playl1fe...you should start with this one..listen to it night and day lol. then move onto Pinkerton..listen to that one night and day..then move onto Green Album..repeat. Now this is where most Weezer fans tend to think the music starts to suck..but i disagree. Move onto Maladroit...repeat. Then digest Make Believe..then stop listening to Weezer lol.

  • I had never heard this song in my life until I heard 'Ash' cover this at a live gig the other night and was so blown away by how fantastic it was I had to come and check out the original.

    Needless to say it hasn't dissapointed, I probably should buy some Weezer stuff as more often than not when I hear a Weezer song I tend to really like it.

    On that note any reccomendations on what Weezer album I should start off with?

  • The blue Album, or Pinkerton: - the first 2 albums, and in my opinioin, the best :D

  • @thgiepsluap no doubt about it. they need to go back to making quality music like this. their last two albums (RADITUDE in particular) we're really horrible imo. almost sellout-ish

  • @playl1fe uh ya....their first album, the blue album is one of the best records of all time. this song is off of that record. their second album "pinkerton" is really good also.

  • yea i could listen to this all day to..ive dun it b4...i luv drummin to it..makes u think of good shit..best weezer song ever!!!!!!!!!

  • the Angel and the one is a great song,reminds me of this!

  • I could listen to this song all day.

  • ラストのカタルシスがたまらん。

  • to clarify : Weezer never made any decent albums after Green, this is fact. It's better for everyone involved to pretend they died at the peak of their careers instead of putting out a decade of crappy music.

  • @annyongSC maladroit is a fantasticly underated album!red album delux is class!theyve got songs better than mostly all mainstream crap these days!

  • @annyongSC . . . . . . look him in the eye and say that.... people grow up, change, and write new music, feel different, and do different things. there is no "peak" or zeneth of a career.... people dont respect the fact that artists have lives too.... that change and evolve like everyone elses. crappy music?? its just music. its someones' thoughts and you nor i am any judge of it. . . . sorry you feel the way you do buddy

  • Comment removed

  • addendum: it would be agreeable to pretend weezer broke up after 2000, and spent their time on side projects; The Rentals are a good band who put out a couple good EPs in the mid - late 2000's.

  • It's too bad weezer died in a bus accident just after the Green Album and were unable to release any newer material.

  • i dont agree with that, but it's still funny

  • what? they passed away?

  • wtf?

  • what the fuck happened to this and

  • awesome song!

  • you're right best song ever

  • This is the best song ever.

    Ever.

  • Its weird... I can safetly say The Blue album can make me happy in any situation no matter what. It probably will get me through highschool.

  • and at 4:43 we drift into the dream. Best song ever!!

  • @987657654321 you are right

  • RIP Weezer 1992 - 1996

  • @987657654321 learn to accept change.

  • @dominic14061995 I don't have a problem with evolving your style, as long as you still keep intact what made you great. Weezer has lost half of their band and Rivers just isn't the same person anymore. Their geeky, honest lyrics and simple quirky melody's are gone. Besides that, I think Rivers realized after "Beverly Hills" that the less he tries, the more people will like it. I really don't care if he had gone on to another band, but tbh the only "Weezer" albums are Blue and Pink.

  • @987657654321 Completely agree with you. Weezer is terrible now. This album, pink, and certain songs off green and pinkerton are all that's left.

  • LOL!!!

  • BEST SONG EVER

  • my arms feel like anvils after I play this on the drums, but I love this song so much

  • @dekaband try it on somebody's bass it is really pretty to play.

  • this reminds me of junior high/ high school .

  • One of the best songs ever IMO.

  • it's one of Weezer's best, I agree. But not one of the best songs...ever.

  • this is my all-time favorite weezer song, and possibly my favorite song period

  • CLASSICC <3

    fuck yea man

  • best bass in a weezer song ever. this is my (current) favorite weezer song.

  • i just got my bass this weekend and learned how to play this song fer a friend. sounds awesome and realy fun to play

  • My best friend who is now passed away used to play this song on his bass. He would always say that it was wicked hard(for Weezer songs) towards the end of the song to complete it without F ing up. One of the best Weezer songs.

  • I'm sorry to hear about your friend.

  • Thank you. It is very hard losing a best friend and I wouldn't put that on my worst enemy. Listening to this song though makes me feel good.

  • The bass, the bass *-*

    This song is so smooooooth :3

  • *-*

    xD

  • @sickjune matt sharp was a criminally underated bassist. this song and holiday and even the world has turned too....not too mention a slew of others.

  • Awesome song. One of my favorites.

  • brilliant bass

  • i've been listening to this song everyday lately. I think this is Weezers masterpiece. and the outro, there arent words to describe how badass that is.

    6:45 eargasm

  • Led Zeppelin got Stairway to Heaven, Metallica got One, and Weezer got this.

  • @saiyajin11 wow, the best comment ever. you sum up exactly what i think.

  • @saiyajin11 I'd say something more like The Unforgiven or Nothing Else Matters for Metallica though

  • @mhsbigbird um black album sucks you retard. The Big Three, any song on those albums, would kick the shit out of any black album sellout song.

  • @sublimeade

    The Black Album can jack me off.

  • @mhsbigbird

    Those two song's lyrics blow a hoe!

  • @saiyajin11

    Unfortunately, Metallica's One has a horrible solo in the end that ruins what could've been a good song... And it's no where near their best song.

  • @InsideYoFeebleBrain fuck you! theres nothing wrong with the solo! it's awsome!

  • I love the dueling guitar leads in the later half of the song.

  • Everything is so perfect about this song...if I could rewind to 1994 I totally would just so I could hear this record again for the first time

  • @gavinj

    I'm so sorry, I voted down by accident!!

  • @LunaMilkyWay29 focus damn it

  • this song is the biggest part of my childhood..

    THE BEST SONG EVER MADE.

  • This could be one of the ten songs I could listen to for the rest of my life!

  • When I was like 12, I pretended I was the girl like the one they're singing about. But this song is so badass, now that I'm older I appreciate it so much more. I love the buildup of energy towards the end especially.

  • s-u-p-e-r-b !

  • so fucking amazing...

  • favorite song ever ever ever ever ever.

  • wow. wish i stumbled upon songs like this every day. I heard it at TGIF and I loved the bassline so much that I had to google it

  • how did you find out what song it was?

  • I heard the chorus and searched "only in dreams" and Weezer was the only result that popped up

  • one of the best albums ever made

  • one of the greatest songs to ever end an album. i used to listen to weezer when i was like 6. im so glad i got back into them

  • this is one of the top songs of all time. it just stirs the soul

  • why is it this band rocks so fucking hard

  • I bought this album by accident more than 10 years ago, because it was cheap, and I don't know why, the cover was appealing me... I didn't know their music at all at the moment. And it became my most favorite album ever. And this song... omg... the final is f**ing awesome.

  • great song, they used hav another animi vid for this song but it looks like its removed which is a pity, a song for being out of ur head....jus brilliant :)
