I think the song really ends where you ended it. After that Rivers just goes into a bit about how his mom ruined his chances at finding love, which I'm sure was beautiful and meaningful for him, but doesn't make a lot of sense in a cover. Great work. You were excellent.
Really good job. You're right, it is quite a hard song to sing and play along to (most of the tab online suggests chord changes at the wrong time). However, your video shows the best way to do it, so thank you!
g'day, i'm australian actually. i just sing in the accent the song was written for. australian vowel sounds are really different to american and can sound pretty jarring to the ear, especially in a weezer song. ha. there are a few aussie artists that are writing their songs around their accent, like missy higgins for example, and it works for her. but quite often it can sound plain awful.
yeah i think it's also because a lot of why accents are different is because of the way pitch changes in the middle of sentences, and in a song, the pitch is already decided.
lol, you're awesome. ". . .but that part's cool." You gotta love the Aussie accent. You even look kinda like Rivers. . .like his cousin, or something.
Let's try that again, Here's what I meant to say:
Fan-freakn'-tastic!!
If I walked in to a little pub or a coffee shop and you played all acoustic weezer songs, solo, I wouldn't leave until you were completely done.....then I would request another one.

yay you videos rock! :D btw are you multi instrumental? i mean because you can play bass, guita , drums,, you're like don henley :D ( Eagles drummer /singer)
Nice cover! One of my favorite weezer songs

I agree! The later parts are hard to sing. I feel like a dork when I attempt to sing it.

@BattleGamerNews But I like the whole key change-y section, and the last verse too! It's not for acoustic really though.

in case anyone's interested, the bridge is something like this (all flat tuning):
Bb, Bb/A, Gm, F, Eb, F
Gm, Dm, Gm, Dm, C
Em, Bm, Em, Bm, A
F#m, C#m, F#m, C#m,
E, A, B
then
E, E/Eb, C#m, B, A, B
then key change back to G! piece of cake!
