As much as I really like Sweet Mary, that song could be truly special if it was arranged differently. It’s got that Beach Boys vibe, but the emotion and energy of the song is somewhat neutered by its overtly pop exterior. Like it’s so modern and “clean” if that makes sense but it’s heart is so much older and timeless. It could easily be a beautiful orchestral track or something more in line instrumentally with Brian Wilson’s work.

that’s why i love white album it has traditional old school =w=songs but then also counter balanced with songs like this - it was really the first time we finally had on record a fulll fletched out song with a piano driving it (rivers is an excelent classical pianist that hopefully will be greatly showcased in the next album ok human, a fully orchestrated symphonic album with no guitars)

but it was also the first time on record where rivers finally gave good amount of his falsetto, we had some seconds glimpse before but nothing where it’s a recurring hook (the only other one was a great song that never made onto any album) surely they do a lot harmonies but lead singing falsetto is different, at least at this range! maybe he was scared it would be hard to fully replicate every night at the live shows

such killer s***, rivers often holds back bc it aint sport and he just wants to make cool songs, but he’s extremely skilled on many levels - glad you noticed it frèro

YESSIIR that’s what makes the genuis, not the ones exaggerating and over the top n super serious to beg for validations - the ones that know their craft and absorb a lot (pause) and use that to flip it around and make it cool, tmtc

how is that the first thing that comes up to u

he’s a super fan who did two original eps of songs heavily inspired by the oldschool weezer sound (the ones oldheads begs for to this day) so like if you can’t get enough of that weezer he’s making more new songs out of that style (the band ozma did it too before him)

one thing he also did which is very cool altho just rough take- he put together a cover of this song rivers has abandonned to make it seem more finish in the style of white album

such an amazing song

idk how to really articulate it but a lot of the songs feel super of-their-time (very early 00s pop rock) while simultaneously being super modern in the sense i can see a more "retro"-leaning band performing them today. If that makes sense lmao.
