This is one of the best "unknown" Weezer songs ever. Very reminiscent of "Across The Sea" on Pinkerton where it starts off very subdued and almost insecure, then builds until it finally explodes with emotion at the end. I. love. this. song. I could listen to this on repeat all day.
Every band changes, jeez. It happens with every good band. Can I ever get a break from "they're crap now. they used to be good"??? Weezer has changed, and so has linkin park (the other band everyone's complaining about). Just appreciate the goddamn music!
Where are those =W= fans out there that don't like it when they experiment or try something new?? I mean, this is really quite strange, but beautiful at the same time.
Weezer Rocks!!
Simple to play on the guitar btw if you've got the balls to give it a shot. LOL
I'm not the biggest fan of Weezer's new stuff, nor do I consider myself a hater. However, Miss Sweeney is definitely an instant Weezer classic. it's awesome acoustic too.
I love this song but I prefer this accoustic version over the album version. I think the wierd trills and added noises were not necessary so the accoustic version sounds more raw and true.
I love the red album (aside from 2 songs) but i have to admit this is my favorite post pinkerton song, and i have no idea why its a bonus track(that goes for the other bonus songs). Sad and pretty.......
Didn't Rivers write pretty much all of the songs on their pre-Pinkerton and post-pinkerton (and pinkerton) albums? I'm sure a bass player makes a difference, but I wouldn't think it would be that big of a change... unless there were a lot of bass solos or something... which I don't remember hearing on very many Weezer songs...
check up on when Matt took action against not getting credit for 3 songs on pinkerton album, the big argument between rentals fans and weezer fans atm is who has more talent, and i honestly cant tell u which side I am on right now, I just wish Matt and Rivers would just make music together again, I miss the good days of weezer
me to, dont get me wrong I still love weezer, but i like their earlier stuff better is all, this, I hate to admit it is probably my fav thing they've ever done, I just wonder how it would sound with Matt Sharp's influence

Just when I think Rivers has hit rock bottom with Beverly Hills, he goes and digs even deeper with this crap. This guy wrote Across the Sea, and people seem to accept this as remotely passable. Absolutely mind boggling.
Amazing. At first the audio sounds just okay, but when the harmonies come together at the end of the song, fantastic. I'm so upset that I lost my Time Capture Device DVD...Weezer's great.
I am 31, been a diehard Weezer fan since I heard the first line in "Undone", and I consider this one of Rivers' best works. Not this version in particular, but the album version. So sweet yet so hard. So simple yet so deep.
I understand how you would think it was a prop, but he doesn't need a clipboard that says, "Hi, Hello Miss Sweeney, would you please come in my office for a second. I'm heading home for the day...etc" He clearly reads those lyrics off that piece of paper.
he has a shitload of songs with weezer and shitload of solo stuff. its understandable to forget the lyrics. especially if the songs aren't performed too often...like this one. and im pretty sure these sessions came out around the same time as the cd.
By the way, thanks for your expert diagnosis asswipe, your command of the English language and ways of abbreviating it facinate me. But even from each above comment, I can tell that you are a fucking numb-skull, and I am far superior. ;)
