I think this is the deepest, most complicated, and most beautifully written song ever. It is pure emotion put to the perfect words and beautiful music. One of the best songs ever written. I love it so much (especially cause I could relate to it not too long ago and still now even).
I showed this song to my 14 year old friend. She told me she loved it. I found out today that she died from Lung cancer, she was an amazing girl. This song will always have a place in my heart with her.
this song is has the same affect on me as drinking. i want to text all my friends sad and stupid texts and hug every person i see, then fall into a deep sleep.
this album is truly the complete opposite of Blue. In Blue they were saying "only in dreams", and now they're saying "I am complete is what I'm saying"
This song is eargasmic, Im glad its not popular, save the better music for the intelligent folks like us that want to listen to it, and keep the haters away!
why are so many people obsessed with blue album? yes it had a few good songs like only in dreams and undone the sweater song, but it also had a few garbage songs like surf wax america and my name is jonas. I seriously dont understand everyones obsession with it.
@RoryLyle See, that's why this song is so god damn great: it's unclassifiable as far as the Weez is concerned. It's indicative of a whole new Weezer beast that we have only gotten a taste of. If only Rivers and Co. could have replicated this ditty's DNA and made the whole Red Album like this, we could hear future songs and say "this is so Red Album it's unreal." THIS is what I think they were going for the whole album lyrically and thematically. Oh well, maybe Yellow Album will get it right.
Why can't weezer make good music anymore? This album sucked except for the greatest man who ever lived. when is there going to be another my name is jonas?
@Aarownd you can't really keep making music about being socially awkward when you've become as popular as Rivers and Weezer have become... and this song rocks wtf are you talking about??!
If you want another My Name is Jonas write that + cover on youtube. This album is the only one that really is standing on the same level as Pinkerton but is slighly worse cause of few songs sang by the other bandmembers. Blue is a good number 3 but is still at about the same level as Green and Make Believe.
About this song. This is my favorite slow song by Weezer ever. Might be my favorite out of all songs and this is one of the reasons i think Red was a freaking awesome album.
@Aarownd More of an music taste then a Blue album fanboy such as yourself. Blue has great individual songs but as a whole ain't that great. In other words if you listen to the whole album intesively i get bored in some point. That's not the point with Pinkerton or with Red album. They had variaty that Blue lacked. If you can't accept that then go back to the closet listening Blue over and over again.
@Babl069 Red album is probably their second worst album, next to Hurley. And if YOU can't see that, then you can just listen to this shitty ass album, while I go surfing with Jonas, this album is as good as blue and pinkerton only in dreams.
@Aarownd Hope your iPod breaks down when it gets wet. Being a faggot music elitist got old 10 years ago so i recommend that you stop being one. Expecially it's sad to see elitists with a bad music taste.
@Aarownd I think you took a nasty hit on your head when you were surfing cause now you see satanists all over. Poor you. That actually might be the reason you can't tell good music from bad anymore. Well If you can't handle that music changes, even those bands you like evolve, then i must say you have no right to whine about music in general.
@Babl069 In America, there's a group called "Mega64" they do videos and reference pop-CULTURE, and they discussed a video on their podcast where in the credits someone said "We Haitian" so they started using it in everyday situations, and calling someone a "Haitian Faggot" is a popular-culture reference, something someone from Europe would be too stupid to get.
@Aarownd Sounds like Mega64 has become even more unfunny since i last heard of it and i am pretty sure that you are just a lonely Haitian faggot yourself that thinks Mega64 is the shit.
@Babl069 Unfunny? Someone is obviously to stupid to get the subtlety of their humor, so now you're too stupid to even talk to, I'm right, you're wrong, DEAL WITH IT.
@Aarownd Or certain someone is too conseited that he can't see how big of an asshat he is making himself to be. Your theory has one major flaw. For you to be right i'd have to be wrong and that is not the case here. All i see is a guy with a mental state of an 10 year old kid that thinks Haitian faggot is a global cultural referance.
@snaxlrod Raditude was fucking awful, but it at least knew it was shit, red album was trying to be serious. I can accept can't stop partying as a fun song, but listening to dreamin' makes me want to tear my hair out.
@snaxlrod Raditude was a terrible Weezer album. But when iTunes is on shuffle, and that comes on, it's pretty fun. Still a terrible Weezer album though.
In my opinion the best song talking about feelings (that I guess) and maybe about love but not in a simple way :) My favourite of all rock ballads can I say that ^^
This is one of those songs that is hidden in the bands tracks and is never played live but is known as simply the 'best' ever. This is quite possibly the best song ever written but not executed live. It may be their final song they play when ready to end their career it would sure be worthy to be a final song.
Some fantastic comments here, The Red Album is the closest Weezer will ever get to the Blue Album and Pinkerton without literally rewriting the music. Great stuff all around.
@111whitepony111 Here is the flaw with your ignorant comments about Weezer. Weezer has been given the credit with defining the Emo genre. Whether you like it or not, Weezer created a HUGE music influence. Nirvana may have changed the way things are done, but they sure never sounded good, and never will. I can agree that NIrvana changed music. Weezer does what they want. They make solid albums, whether you see it or not. Just because they dont sound like what YOU want, doesn't mean they are bad.
@HoundSyrup i never said it has to sound the way i want it to. their music became more and more bland, and no where near as creative or inspirational as the blue album. they became a band that sounds like a million other bands...when they were once a band all their own. they wrote the red album.....and rattitude.. those are simply unforgivable awful pieces of shit.
sounding like a huge hypocrite too saying that nirvana never sounded good. just because you don't like it.
@111whitepony111 Well, this argument could go on for ages and you still would have the narrowed minded brain that you have. So I will say good day to you sir, and I wish the best for you :) I wish I was the green power ranger.
@HoundSyrup it's so funny because whenever you ask somebody to actually prove their point on youtube.. they never can and basically insult. thing is... if you can't back anything you certainly can't insult.
peace weezer fanboy. try not being so close-minded.
@111whitepony111 You can't even spell and you're going to criticize a band's ability to /play/ music? One of the few commodities among today's generation?
@111whitepony111 Oh, great, another critic who can't fucking use proper grammar. Stop trolling the shit out of Weezer, you asshole. My point is, if you can't even properly criticize a band, you shouldn't even bother.
@rls67 The ability to spell has little to do with the ability to play music, and the ability to play music has little to do with the ability to write good music, as Rivers Cuomo has so aptly demonstrated over the course of his career as an artist. Unlike finger-pointing troll feeders who are incapable of anything beyond a pathetic ad hominem response about grammar, there is a very solid consensus among real music critics regarding the steady decline of nearly everything that succeeded Pinkerton.
@rls67 You do realize I was criticizing everything Weezer has released since Pinkerton, right? Are you really that thick?
"their music became more and more bland, and no where near as creative or inspirational as the blue album. they became a band that sounds like a million other bands...when they were once a band all their own. they wrote the red album.....and rattitude.. those are simply unforgivable awful pieces of shit."
He's absolutely right, and the vast majority of critics agree with him
@T3hL337Sesshy I rarely check that account, so I didn't get the notif. If you don't like anything that is coming from the Red Album, then get the fuck off of the page and quit your bitching. This song is visible proof that Weezer is not dead, that Rivers Cuomo can still write amazing music, and despite what critics say, many people seem to agree with that. Pinkerton and the Blue Album are great, yes. But this is too. Jesus, I'm tired of going on every Weezer video and seeing people like you.
Wow, I can't believe I didn't give The Red Album a chance. It kind of reminds me of "Only in Dreams", how the last song just totally ends the album peacefully.
Sorry Amarant that you don't really like the boys...songs like Buddy Holly and In the Garage are songs that many of us can relate to (including us old guys)...Just raw talent in action...very nice....Hey Jacki, sounds like you're a Triumph fan as well...lol...too cool...
Me and my dad were listening to the Red album and made me promise him that I would play this for him at his funeral. This is a promise i will never forget
@perfectlygiven Shalom is hebrew for God's peace. He's saying even though he sort of wants to be with the girl, he's telling her he's already complete in his Shalom.
Weezer is just all around amazing. I mean, they've had there bad spots (Make Believe, and, let's face it, this album wasn't great either) but they make great music no matter what. (:
@televisewhatyouwant It was extremely creative. I just didn't think it worked that much. I mean, don't get me wrong, I loved some songs. Dreamin', The Greatest Man That Ever Lived, and The Angel and the One are some of my favorite Weezer songs of all time. But I just don't think they'll ever make anything that compares to The Blue Album and Pinkerton.
@mysshadow i loved alot of the songs off of make believe. haunt you everyday was the saddest song iv ever heard. but i mean at least it doesnt have lil wayne in the album. i find it hard to dislike any weezer album(pre raditude) now.
@hsefootball36 I agree. Make Believe had great songs. But, in my opinion, for every song I liked, there was one I hated. And yeah, Lil Wayne was a pretty terrible decision. Maybe they'll make it right with there next album. It's due out September 13th this year. Which blows my mind cuz it hasn't even been a year since Raditude
questa canzone mi da una tristezza incredibile perchè mi ricorda il male che ho fatto all'unica persona che non avrei mai voluto ferire in tutta la mia vita..
I love this song :) It can be interpreted as being a bit too spiritual for my taste, but it's a great song nonetheless. The slow beginning reminds me of "A Slow Parade" by A.A. Bondy.
@worldemperor85 nah, it's not about "relating". that's a worn puerility. it's just about feeling the feelings. new experiences add shades and layers to the feeling.
@krane33 wasnt exactly my intention, but yes, i was feeling kinda emo at the time. emos tend to say stuff like 'wat is life but a road to death?' and stuff...
Everything about this song should suck, but it's amazing!

This song is visible proof that Weezer is not dead, that Rivers Cuomo can still write amazing music, and despite what critics say, many people seem to agree with that. Pinkerton and the Blue Album are great, yes. But this is too. Jesus, I'm tired of going on every Weezer video and seeing people like you.

Wow, I can't believe I didn't give The Red Album a chance. It kind of reminds me of "Only in Dreams", how the last song just totally ends the album peacefully.

Sorry Amarant that you don't really like the boys...songs like Buddy Holly and In the Garage are songs that many of us can relate to (including us old guys)...Just raw talent in action...very nice....Hey Jacki, sounds like you're a Triumph fan as well...lol...too cool...

I have never really gotten into Weezer's other songs. I'm one of those teens who completely skipped over them.
But this is probably my favorite song. In general.

@russianfantastico Funerals are (or are intended to be) a celebration of the person's life. This song is about life, therefore, it works.

Weezer is just all around amazing. I mean, they've had there bad spots (Make Believe, and, let's face it, this album wasn't great either) but they make great music no matter what. (:

@mysshadow Really? The Red Album is one of my favourite albums of all time, I think it's their best creatively and linguistically.
televisewhatyouwant 1 year ago
@televisewhatyouwant It was extremely creative. I just didn't think it worked that much. I mean, don't get me wrong, I loved some songs. Dreamin', The Greatest Man That Ever Lived, and The Angel and the One are some of my favorite Weezer songs of all time. But I just don't think they'll ever make anything that compares to The Blue Album and Pinkerton.
mysshadow 1 year ago
@mysshadow i loved alot of the songs off of make believe. haunt you everyday was the saddest song iv ever heard. but i mean at least it doesnt have lil wayne in the album. i find it hard to dislike any weezer album(pre raditude) now.
hsefootball36 1 year ago
@hsefootball36 I agree. Make Believe had great songs. But, in my opinion, for every song I liked, there was one I hated. And yeah, Lil Wayne was a pretty terrible decision. Maybe they'll make it right with there next album. It's due out September 13th this year. Which blows my mind cuz it hasn't even been a year since Raditude

I love this song :) It can be interpreted as being a bit too spiritual for my taste, but it's a great song nonetheless. The slow beginning reminds me of "A Slow Parade" by A.A. Bondy.

@worldemperor85 nah, it's not about "relating". that's a worn puerility. it's just about feeling the feelings. new experiences add shades and layers to the feeling.
