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

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.
