[63chicago6]

;-;

[SSlayer70]

I love a girl who won't ever love me again... and thats why I'm here.

[poopadoodle51]

awwwwwww this song is so beautiful and sad

Im crying a river, sniffles :"(

[IAmTheGodOfSpiders]

This song plays in my head when i see a spider die........SO SAD!!!!!

[Josh1758]

possibly the most beautiful song ive ever heard

[CoastersForever]

This is incredible...the perfect acoustic accompaniment to such ridiculously good lyrics and haunting vocals...my goodness. Incredible to think Rivers went from this to "I'm Your Daddy" in one year.

[WeirdKidsVlog]

"I'm insane....."

[newbands1]

Would be a lot better if it was shorter 2 mins+,imagine if butterfly was 4 mins long.

[Drewcifer1212]

<3 Spiderbro. R.I.P.



[jmoya2001]

No spiderbro... ;_;

[kefka3]

SPIDERBRO!!! *cries*

[prodigylover]

Pig,Greatest man,MIss Sweeney, Pork & Beans, Heart songs,everyone get dangerous,dreamin,the spider,king and Angel makes for one hell of an album!!

[Xavygravy]

Fun fact: The synth that gets louder and louder throughout the song is the water washing the spider down the drain. Such a great song.

[mynameisnotcory]

you gotta love the lyrical genius of the weezers! -rivers

[riverscuomo]

So glad some other people feel the same way I do about this song.

Kills me.

[teamrapturegames]

@riverscuomo We're all indebted to you, Rivers. Thanks for writing this masterpiece.

[Yottabeat]

My girlfriend left me... and all I want is for her to love me the way I love her. But she can't. I AM that spider in the d rain...

[Jackimole]

I don't really like this song... it's been listed as one of weezer's best, but I'm not really seeing it...

I love weezer, but I'm not huge on this song.

Anyone else feel the same way?

[OkayButWashItFirst]

@Jackimole You haven't lost in life. Add this song as a reminder for 5 years from now.

[Jackimole]

@OkayButWashItFirst What if I continue winning?

[OkayButWashItFirst]

@Jackimole If you keep winning, you will hear the alarm 5 years from today and still don't understand what this song is about.

[Jackimole]

@OkayButWashItFirst So, no matter what, it's a win-win. If I win, I win, and if I lose, I'll understand the song.

[OkayButWashItFirst]

@Jackimole I don't consider understanding this song as "winning".

[onlylyrics52]

I was listening to my mp3 player during school, and this song came on.... I almost started crying.... I told the teacher I had something in my eye... This song has great simile also.

[beelz666kaas]

This song is awesome in all it's sadness. It reminds me of Butterfly from Pinkerton, only sadder. And more awesome. With some sadness.

[TheLifePerfect]

A lot of depressed people projecting in this thread.

[pogonaut220]

If they set out to make the most depressing song ever written then they succeeded. I find it strangely compelling though.

[OmarAlQaseer]

=W=

[watermelon6000]

Rule of thumb. "Stay away from drains"

[2WK09]

@watermelon6000 hahahahahah moral of the story i guess you can say right

[robynaking]

This song isn't your uncle's Weezer song. And I'm alright with that.

[waqwarrior]

I want this played at my funeral...

[Abomb110285]

This Is The DEEPEST SONG EVER! My Favorite Weezer Song EVER!

[crazymiles]

@krane121

If you consider this "abstract," then you are profoundly stupid--too stupid to live, in fact.

[Twtichy]

@crazymiles This song does describe some pretty abstract things -- comparing those who have died to stars and having their lessons and lives shine down onto us for an eternity. Also, they're comparing themselves and everyone else to spiders in the drain, i.e. life. It's poignant and I love it. But your comment is harsh. It's abstract, but it's still fairly clear to understand.

[jakemandujano1414]

Oh yeah and the first couple seconds sound like the song from Crayon Physics.

[jakemandujano1414]

Its so weird after I heard this, I went to download this on Limewire (haha I'm such a sinner) and the little lime cartoon mascot was dressed like Spiderman! HOW WEIRD!

[Erilis666]

I used to listen to this song all the time. i identified with every single word in the piece... i'm out of that drain now, but i wonder if rivers was in a similar situation. i can only hope not.

[TheRaindrops]

red is truely underrated

[iamthemaster100000]

This Weezer fans is a masterpiece.

=W=!

[manvswolfman]

my favorite weezer song :)

[Hugh33h]

I cry every time I hear this. I can't help it. Water just fails from my eyes..

[Twisted4000]

@Hugh33h well, i mean, poor spider

[fuchalo]

I feel like this was the new Butterfly is anyone else has heard that fucking incredible song from pinkerton

[jakemandujano1414]

@fuchalo I totally agree.

[MrYelot]

Weezer is the best. Nuff said.

[MrJustVideos]

Man, Weezer songs are always so, idk. It's hard to explain but there, so, so so touching.

[SUBLIMBAMFFISh]

@MrJustVideos shut your whore mouth

[nigelb]

lmao

[russianfantastico]

What's wrong with you, you douche?

[AndieBuddy]

This is probably the saddest, most beautiful song ever. haha

[jamesphilip911]

so then why are you laughing?

[footballmad0501]

can someone give me links to download this song and pig?

[lazrpo1nt3r]

@footballmad0501 I'm sure itunes has it :)

[CoolVideoCrap]

weezer is cool because they always do different genres so everybody can like them and they can make a lot of fans =W= my favorite band.

[ineedalifeLTD]

yeh i see ur point but lately ive not been to impressed with them like its good but not , well i dunno like with there old stuff i was hooked and listen non stop but the new stuff to me has been soso hopefully they will prove me wrong

[thechaz83]

This song is so beautiful and sad. Its enough to seriously shake you up inside.

[MasterBlade4]

This is such a sad song, especially since seeing Spiders caught in the drain is sad enough for me as it is.

[devil666teskio]

fanno cagare!

[rubberdukky]

the song is mad boring. the lyrics are mad cool.

[Kazfoxx]

This song really brings beauty from sadness. and if you can see that, you are on your way to happiness. thats my opinion though.

[flipptom]

i am the spider within the ring of hate,love and death. pain is temporary,life is short,our dreams are of our self indivduality carachteristics that can cary us through times at which we dont perform like we would really want to. attitude,happiness,perseveranc­eand strength will cary US through. I hope this has made since to most of you. if not listen to all of weezer's songs again and again till you understand what they are. thank you for your time reading this long "book" that i typed have a

[Dandaman8880]

This song and The angel and the one both match Only in Dreams in their awesomness

[MistaRowland]

Maybe not that far but I think those songs, Pig and Miss Sweeney are all good enough for the first two albums. Amazing songs.

[Bo6us]

i was recommended to this song..

nah

not my type

[ibetican2]

in a good,helpful way.if some of you idiots didnt realize it.give me red,you cant still take this song away from me,you cunts.smiley face.smiley face. fuck it. listen to words.how could i be such an happy person if i can relate this.

[ibetican2]

wtf my last comment down there? td? aaaahh go fuck yourself,this song means so much to me,i got bad situation in my life now,and this song does not help me through,it walks beside me.

[Rysimar]

This song won't pull you through the hard times, it will only walk beside you - well said.

But sometimes, that's all you need to feel better, someone to walk with you.

[Aleckzweight1]

damn weezer, such a great band. all there songs have so much meaning

[Frozensquirrel]

This is one of the saddest songs ever written.

Amazing.

[TheAmazingBojack]

this and Pig make me wanna cry like a bitch

[Frozensquirrel]

Same here!

[justpapers182]

i love how they deliver there songs...=W=

[TearsMadeOfDiamonds]

This is Probably my favorite weezer song. love the Melody.

GO WEEZER!!!!! :D

[InMyPod]

THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE ALBUM!

love it! ^_^

[OthellollehtO]

This song and Pig, two recent releases, are all about death. In their 1.5 decades, has Weezer released a song about death before these two? He seems much more explicit and dark in this song than in any he's released.

[ibetican2]

u cant take one sentence out of its context.its the best sentence in its own place,like every sentence is in this piece of art,state of mind.

[conradssel]

Amazing song except for "And stars can't talk because they have no mouth to speak". lolduh Sounds kinda George Bushy.

[Jowsefwood]

what in the blue f*** are you babbling about?

[h5e5l5l5o5]

all the words in this song are perfect, all there new songs we can relate to, death, love, and hapiness!

[drgonzo1103]

one of their more interesting works since pinkerton. and yes, it does seem instantly comparable to butterfly. i think that this song would be amazing if it were about two and a half minutes shorter. however, it stretches on for almost five minutes and ends up feeling flat and a wee bit pretentious. although, i suppose that shouldnt be too surprising coming from the mind that penned a song entitled "greatest man that ever lived." still, i enjoy the effort that was put into red album.

[Dragonweep]

my favorite song by them ever now :)

[lionlittle]

Reminds me of the Butterfly song on Pinkertin.

[ibetican2]

hypnotizing,awesomely sad,cant stop repeating this song.

[keithurena303]

amazing. heartbreaking. weezer.

[enceno]

I actually rather dislike this song... I mean it's a good story and meaning... but it's just very linear and just really makes me unable to listen to it straight through without switching tracks.

[Jowsefwood]

But the end of the song is the best part.

[mobilebus]

sad

[cabbysmack2]

Sounded like they used some Tom Morello Kill switch technique starting at 1:38

[MyRamona]

Yeah that's just the tone switch flicking technique, just like Morello and buckethead ;)

[jcrist]

thats the best part

[yowassupbro2]

lovely, this is why we persevere with weezer

[Quikeeer]

is perfect!!

[RockxxPunk]

Stunned!

[dietnam]

Perfect!

[Anirath]

Beautiful

[MCWiggidyWhoo]

this is such a good song. the only ones that pass it on the Red Album are Miss Sweeney, The Greatest Man That Ever Lived, and The Angel and The One

[Roxxxxxxxbottttter]

Outstanding!
