no worries
there's more im going to reply to later cause im going to sleep
but i pressed play on weekend woman
i heard the first couple seconds and im like immediately deflated cause im like "nah, i dont know this s***"
but then he starts singing, and that melody i would never forget....
"I'D DIE FOR YOU
WHY CANT YOU BE THE ONE
TO SET MY MIND AT EASE???"
this is a song that i only have known as like a 50 second clip
and just right now im seeing there's actually a full version of it now
and now of course, that it's been remade
damn.
and thats like another thing ...there are so many songs that i have such quality s*** versions of because thats all that existed, and now i see that a lot of them have been unearth and recorded
like i spent YEARS adoring the version of superfriend that was cut from the video recording
and like a life dream was always ''god i wish i could hear it for real'' because i truly never thought it was going to happen. especially after the direction they started going. like why would he ever return to these old ass songs?
and then he did.
and now i somewhat know of a lot of stuff theyve re-recorded. but today i saw in a comment that he put out like hundreds of old songs? it's honestly overwhelming.
AND let's write a song!!
i lived for that s***
i actually will reference it like this:
of course no one knows wtf im referencing because its in a f***ing kpop server LMAO
but this s*** is so engrained in my dna it just comes out tbh LMAO
i need to find the video its from
take your time! it’s a pleasure to have you here and get to show you all that stuff, isn’t this finished burning sun amazing? i wasn’t too confident bc idk how popular the short clip was - the full burning sun did end up leaking but only in more recent years, but man he turned that beautiful melodic from a generic green formula to something special, the lyrics are about the same girl he wrote about on o girlfriend and on do you wanna get high (white album) - when you listen to these three songs in a row it paints a such intense detailed picture
you should’ve seen my face when i read you posting the lyrics of the burning sun clip MY BOI
and yes the demos i brought that up in my other replies - there’s more than 2,000 songs out by now of all eras !!!
that’s so amazing that you lived and remember the let’s write a song era and bring up that line out the top of your head it reminds me how og stans used to always remind rivers how he once called his stans little b****es during the maladroit message board days (tbh rivers isn’t too wrong for that in hindsight)
how good their new s***?
like how new we speaking? what’s the last stuff you know or heard of

you heard of the white album tho? that’s a must
weezer was everything for me in the beginning. every day i would come home to try to find songs i didn't have. i would come across like secret sites where you could download like 4 or 5 songs. this was s*** before s*** like weerez or this site that had mostly everything in one place. i was so pissed when i found the site years later lmao.
anyway, this daily search is what lead me to forums. i already was on some at the time but its here i began to join a good amount. i remember i would read weezer nation a lot, but i think when the albumfive boards came about, i was pretty active on that one.
and i remember the only reason i got on myspace was because i came across rivers' myspace. i was too young to f***ing understand what the f*** myspace was, but the two major things that screamed at me when i was on rivers myspace was the status notification that he was "online now" and the "message" button. the s*** blew my mind! my hero was online at the same moment i was and i could talk to him??? i had to f***ing join. i remember he had like 3000 friends and i thought that was such an insane number LMAO.
anyway, but yes, the obsession was real. like, i remember i saw these puma's rivers was wearing in a picture from years earlier, and i spent 5 days just searching online for them. (got 'em lmao). i remember i spent a summer saving up to recreate his blue strat with the turtle pickguard. (didn't happen in the end), or when i made an excel spreadsheet of all weezer songs (from the four albums that existed at the time), and i checked them off as i learned them on guitar.
the music of course spoke for itself, but there's the obvious connection i made with the ...i guess what we would call today as "brand" of their music and them, specifically rivers.
i thought he was a god. i loved that he was so unassuming. maybe that's how i viewed myself? or wanted to view myself? someone unassuming, but possessed amazing talent. and from the songs, of course, the underdog that the narrator is in so many of them. (this aspect i kinda.....dont look back so fondly on tbh)
anyway, this love kinda showed me how to become a f***ing stan tbh. through them i learned how to use the internet to suck up everything an artist or band had to offer. i think they may have been my first concert i went to that i wanted to go to too. they really provided so many experiences.
cant exactly remember when i stopped f***ing with them. like right now, i honestly can't name the album that came out after make believe. maybe the red album (is that an actual album)? and then ratitude? and then hurley? i guess it was obviously after make believe. i guess with make believe i had grown up enough to see the business aspect of selling music and images. i guess i viewed it like they were "selling out" but more so for relevancy rather than actual money, and thats also around the time i was only f***ing with indie bands cause i guess i thought those bands were more 'geniune' LMAOOOOOOOOOO
at this point, i always see their name in passing, and of course, it catches my eye, but im usually so distracted that i never really stop and think about how much the band means to me, so i never feel motivated to see what theyre up to. usually i think i view them as like puppy dog love, you know? like you loved them because you were young and they were your first.
last album i listened to them was 'white album' and i liked it overall. and because i was listening to the album on youtube, i listened to 'friend of a friend' for the first time today, and i was floored. the man is truly a genius.
im sorry, this s*** was a lot of blabbering.

LMFAO wtf just googled weezer albums and in the list there’s some odd compilations and lives and one of them the cover google uses is some artwork i did myself
✌️😎✌️
@seriousrabbit i personally love pacific daydream it’s a more pop weezer album but in a tasteful way lots of modern production mixed with some throwback sixties stuff, some of the material there is their most beach boys inspired joints ever - but some oldheads fans don’t like it bc It’s not rocking (there’s no guitar solo on it in great contrast to the white album or even more so “everything will be alright in the end” who even goes as far as having guitar instrumentals if that’s more of the weezer you’re looking into)
@DonutHole now need your thoughts on the green album

@cyberkid2000 in for the symphonic orchestra album???
@DonutHole now need your thoughts on the green album
This album was surprisingly short and most songs sounded the same to me: they are consistent which is a good thing if one likes this style of music.
Standout songs imo
Island in the sun : the first ten seconds had me confused sounds so familiar idk what it is maybe someone sampled them or they sampled someone...or it was used in a movie/commercial. Anyways I enjoyed this one the most
smile
simple pages
yeah this album was a reaction to its predecessor pinkerton which became a cult but didn’t do well when it came out, very raw intense so after it didn’t do great they went on hiatus and rivers reworked his songwritting and that’s why the green album has this formula of being less .. soulful but it’s fun power pop!
you prolly know island in the sun from it being used for so long for the tv ads for laposte lol but it’s used a lot everywhere it’s prolly their biggest hit back in europe
smile is goat
