LYRICS
When I was a kid I thought I'd save the world
Running 'round and chasing all the criminals
Swinging on a web, flying in the sky
Shooting lasers from my eyes
But now I know it never was my destiny
It's not my place in life, not who I'm meant to be
And I don't need the glory, I don't need the fame
And I don't wanna wear this cape
‘Cause on the inside
I know it won't last
On the inside
I'm an outcast
Everybody needs a hero but I'm not everybody else
I walk alone
Yeah, I walk alone yeah, I walk alohone, eyeah
You know I tried to be a hero but I was lying to myself
I walk alone
Yeah, I walk alone yeah, I walk alohone, eyeah
They build you up and then they're gonna tear you down
They love you then they hate you if you wear a crown
It’s not that I don’t love to solve a mystery
But life is hard enough with one identity
If silence is the voice of a new generation
Then I could live up to all of your expectations
I'd hammer down hard like I'm Iron Fist
Then disappear like I don't exist
And on the inside
I know it won't last
On the inside
I'm an outcast

You know it's good when you hear guitars in a Weezer song and Weezer themselves also appear in their own music video!
You know its a good song when weezer releases it
Kakushibori 13 can’t agree with that, Raditude
@@patrickgaribay6135 raditude had SOME good songs
Kakushibori 13 agree
@@kakushibori1359 Their non rock music is pretty awful. I say that not as an elitist, I love pop. Weezer just isn't good at it, at all.
My Dad loved Weezer and went to a lot of their concerts and I am only 12 and he passed away from a heart attack on January 8th 2020 at the age of 42 and I am using his account right now if anyone from Weezer reads this I want you to know my dad loved your music and one of his favorite shirts to wear was a red, yellow and white Weezer shirt and this song really sparked joy for me for the first time in a few months so thank you for spreading joy to millions of people each day also 4 days before my Dad passed away my grandpa (his dad) passed away and not even a month after all of that we got Put in quarantine you inspired my dad to start playing guitar and also partly inspired me to start playing piano not only that but classic rock piano and I love it so thank you for giving my dad and myself inspiration to start playing instruments 🎹🎫🎸🎸🎹🎹🙏🙏Thanks for all the support and I hope that they will see my comment and know that their band just made me happy every time I listen to a song of theirs. My dad would’ve loved this song because his dad was his hero and he died 4 days before my dad did so I’m trying to convince myself that he died happy. I’m actually his daughter but thanks for all the support anyways. My Mom lost the love of her life.
I read every single comment you guys make. No matter how long so thank you.
Hope Weezer reads your comment.
Stay strong, man
Sorry kid hope your feeling alright
Kid you rock keep staying strong and sorry you had to go through that so young
I hope we can help your comment reach the group... 👍👍

勇気を与えてくれるこの歌が好きです。ウィーザーのファンでよかった。
are you possibly half Japanese
This was a million times better than celebrities singing imagine.
It’s not the song that sucks. It’s the people who cover it.
Totally!!
Imagine all the people...
Dude, porcupine incest porn is even better than celebrities singing imagine. Not a high bar

The solo in this gives me Futurescope Trilogy vibes. I remember in 2014, hoping and praying that The Futurescope Trilogy was an actual preview of things to come for Weezer. The guitar work in this is beautiful.
EWBAITE an underrated album. I listen to it a lot.
@@eloisapantazis6232 facts loved it too
Wait I know u
Dude I love your channel.thought you'd be into industrial death metal haa
@@eloisapantazis6232 If you love ewbaite then you likely will enjoy their new Ok Human album! :)
What I love about Rivers as a songwriter is that he never tries to impress anybody - he expresses himself sincerely and genuinely through his music, without pretense, and the result is always delightful
Caleb Hylkema he literally writes lyrics with a spreadsheet & mathematical algorithm
@@PassiveNights But that's the most Rivers thing Rivers could do.
..and impressive :)
"Pump it up into me, please daddy"
@@PassiveNights Yeah, it's called the "cut-up" method and it was/is used by David Bowie, Kurt Cobain, David Byrne, and Thom Yorke, among others. It's easy to make anything you don't understand sound bad by describing it in a reductive, dismissive way. Why don't you try writing a song that way and see if you can get results halfway as good as this, since it's apparently such a no-brainer?
It's also worth pointing out that Rivers doesn't only use that method, it's just one tool he uses to varying degrees. This song we're commenting on clearly can't have been written entirely that way, because the lyrics connect to each other in a relatively straightforward way.
saw Rivers do this tonight on Jimmy Fallon.
I'm a mom who 'lost' her son to suicide.
Rivers was doing his thing with the change-up of 'looks' I love so much about him. He goes from a heart-throb rocker to an old soul with scraggly covid hair and 'stache in a summer fedora playing the piano.
Won't lie. I cried & cried cos he looked exactly like my guy sporting one of his 'looks' in his young life.

You keep being YOU, sweets!
You are perfect every way you are and so incredibly talented.
Your entire band is great!
stay strong!

Rivers dosent need a hero,but he doesn't walk alone,because he is our hero and we will all walk with him.

Have you been social distancing since you were 4 years old?
I have never listened to Weezer and I regret not doing so in the first place. This song is amazing
Well, I'm going on 64 years old, and I'm new to this band, but I love these videos, along with the music! Lol...
Became my favorite band way back in the 90s when I first heard "in the garage"...they will always be my favorite band. Thank you for all the great music and memories.
In the garage was my jam. Used hangout in friends garage listening to weezer
I'm graduating high school this year and these guys are my favorite
Calvin Johnson wow really?!? Good for you buddy!! Nobody cares…
Michael Holland so you’re saying that you’re a fan of weezer, a band of nerds who make music for nerds. And on top of that, your favorite song by the nerds is a song about them playing DND in their garage like losers? You must be fun at parties…
@@dillpickle5973 Parties make me uncomfortable.
I KNEW THIS DAY WAS COMING BUT I DIDNT KNOW WHEN. THANK YOU, WEEZER. MADE MY DAY.
THATS RESISTANCE ALBUM COVER OMAGAAD
Muse huh, i see you are a man of culture.
Rivers’ melodies are unearthly. Every time I think this is the best Weezer song I ever heard, he unleashes another one like this. The world gives you a slow clap Rivers. Thank you.
Time to face facts:
Weezer is the most important Rock n Roll band of the last 30 years. Also the best.
you're funny.
Not the best but in a top 50 of the best in those 30 last years
@@lehamsterhollandais9908 Yes, the best. No other band comes close.
@@lehamsterhollandais9908 Yes, the best. Not top 50, thats silly. The best.
10/10 would listen again
Wait you've only listened once?
CactusFishy go for it
10/10 will listen to all day.
I haven't turned it off since it came out
Everyone has joined weezer
Brendon Urie at 3:03. Beebo spotted.
Except Matt Sharp :-(
Weezer is getting too big, it must be stopped
@@drewh8027 They were huge in the 90s. It's not really surprising to see them getting more attention lately.

Born in 83. Grew up singing self titled first album while walking to the bus stop playing on my walkman...
Found myself singing to this while driving to work some 2000 miles away and almost 30 years later.
When Weezer stays in their own genre, the music is always fantastic. When they don’t... it just takes a little longer to realize it’s fantastic 😊
THIS IS THE BEST COMBINATION OF CLASSIC WEEZER AND MODERN WEEZER
Meh. Sounds like Foo Fighters meets Green Day to me. And over produced like Fall Out Boy. Pinkterton is still their best. (Fight me.)
@@barneymiller5488 You have my sword. I shall fight by your side.
@@barneymiller5488 funny way of saying blue album
totally agree !!!!
This was honestly one of the most creative and entertaining quarantine videos I've seen, well done!!!
You're welcome. - Accordion player who gets the letter at 1:09.
I remember that by the time this video came out I was broken up with, so when I watched this I was really sensitive and for some reason this song touched me. And when the letter was shown in the end I legit broke down crying, coming back now I can definitely certify that this song is great and beautiful by it's own merits

Here's what's written on the piece of paper:
"Whether you run emergency supplies on electric golf carts or translate English for someone who doesn't speak it, we thank you.
Whether you man computers or pick up phones, answer questions and concerns or route people here and there, we thank you.
Whether you donate pillows and blankets or give money, we thank you.
To those lacking proper face masks, risking their health for the greater good, we thank you.
While the rest of us retreated to our homes, you ran towards the threat in a battle you didn't even know you signed up for. Your bravery and selflessness are awe-inspiring. You are the reason we shall rock another day.
Life is good, and for all of this, we thank you.

This is the most wholesome thing i have seen in a while. Cuomos and the rest of weezer are literal gods.
Thanks homie
Damn you can read small letters

I just got fired due to the coronavirus, and this, make the day a little bit better.
If you're in the U.S. get that unemployment application going today. Congress set up a safety net for these times and there is no shame in collecting.
Me too my guy. Don't worry just wait everything will become better than it was before.
Anthony, I'm so sorry. I lost my job on March 24th because of the virus. It's been incredibly stressful. Hang in there, my friend and stay positive. Sending you blessings from Washington.
:( I hope you are doing alright. Best wishes from Canada
I will pray that you find something better and I hope for the best for you.
RED ALBUM RIVERS IS BACK BABY!
Complete with the mustache...
Reilly Cordy now just needs the cowboy hat....
Do we really want to tempt fate and see what happens if he wears a cowboy hat again?
@@Shitsuxify I was just about to say the same exact thing.
It does sound like the red album
Ive worked doing food delivery through the pandemic for door dash to people's homes. I thank you weezer for always rocking my world with your music the first time i heard of you guys was on a windows 95 disc with the sone buddy hollie with the video being setup like the show happy days loved it and have been a fan since then thank you again for all you do for people like me around the world with you amazing music
Weezer... You all should know that you rocking is the very reason i keep on going in life..
The alien is van weezer and this is gonna be a concept album theory
Great
X-files
If Van Weezer isn't an alien version of Van Wilder who traveled space and time to go to a university in the early 2000's to the sounds of alt rock and pop punk then I'm going to be sad
My theory is that the alien is Van.
Waking up and thinking about going to work usually has been a chore for me, and although I haven't been working for long, nor have I been working any really important job. It's been busy. Fast food isn't really the thing that helps a lot of people, but watching this gives me a new thought process behind work. At least I can do something minor or not to help out people who are tired from doing their part, or who are tired of staying home and helping keep people safe.
Thank you for all your hard work dude I hope you are having a wonderful day never forget to keep your head high king
God bless you and yours!
You ARE helping big time bro! People have to eat. You are fulfilling a big need.
You may feel like your job is not a big deal, but it is. You have kept us going. So, thank you....
Heard this on the radio few days back. Im a 2020 college grad and twitter artist that recently broke over 2k. This song reminds me of what my goal online is. Inspire people through my art and animations, thank my online buddies who are essential workers and encourage them, and help the people that follow me who caught the virus be happy and have a person to talk to. I may not be an essential worker but it's the least I can do to help in some way.
Keep safe everyone and thank you to all you essential workers out there!💜
I work in a cardiac cath lab and this song and the letter at the end really hit me deep. I've been a long time Weezer fan and this brought a tear to my eye. Thanks guys, really.
Check me out at 2:00 (black Weezer shirt in front of balloons mural) handing the paper to Rivers!!
THANK YOU!!!
Totally awesome!!!!
Your shirt is sick!
Thanks! I got it during the White Album Tour in 2016 when they played with Panic! at the Disco.
when did they enlist people for the music video?
I feel bad for whoever had to edit this.
Yeah timing all these shots must have been SO PAINSTAKING. But good to know some editor(s) got some work during all this.
It was worth it tho
Especially since the deadline to submit a video was April 27th!
It was most likely a team of many people so not as much but still it takes talent and time even with many propel.
I bet they had fun even if it was torture
This is the song I needed in my life right now. Since i am about to leave my life behind and ride my bike across Texas. Thank you guys! I've been a big fan since I was a kid.
Here in 2024! Im a big Weezer fan from way back, and this song reminded me of the old times!
Van weezer is literally the Red Album, he even has the moustache man
But better
I hope not lol
Van weezer hasn’t even been released and you’re competing it to red album already. U dckhead
@@emilioaladwhosintheinterne8421 so far
It sounds way more like the Blue album. Ripping solos in both songs. There really wearing there influences on the sleeves like the white album. Who cares about the mustache. Both songs rip.
My tears is falling down with this, is a combination of happiness and sadness. I love u guys! greetings from Venezuela.
Fellow Venezuelan!!! I love you.
Probably because you live in Venezuela
Hola, Salu2

A huge thank you to my favorite band! As a nurse, in such tumultuous times, you have made me (and so many others I am sure) so very happy with this song!! Your letter was beautiful and humbling. We love you! ALWAYS rock on!!
I don't know why but I feel like crying watching this. The letter was great too. Thanks Weezer.
This is really good! I wasn’t expecting a new song today
i can finally say i’m in a weezer music video. god bless.
Awesome dude!

So far, this album is solid AF. I think going "metal" allows rivers to tap into the rock fantasy, without fear of criticism. Which is awesome. This sounds like the blue album to me. And that is the highest praise I can give an album.
I'm a grocery store clerk so to say my life has been stressful is an understatement, Rivers, Pat, Brian, and Scott, thank you for filling my heart with much needed happiness, i love you guys and stay safe.
I'm just glad that with all this stuff happening Weezer is still up and running ;)
Weezer is an essential business
Rivers Cuomo was in a Doritos commercial -> th-cam.com/video/kXS5zyw3Gbk/w-d-xo.html
Weezer has seriously stepped up their game..
Yep 👍
Sadly, it’s the end of the game 😔🤘(ooooo hit me!)

Hi
Weezer feels like summer
This song is dope!!!!
I don't give AF that no one says dope, I'm from the 80s and bringing it back!!
I loved Weezer since the 90’s for a reason! Everything they release is a masterpiece and it fits into my life lyrically somehow. I can’t wait for a new album!!!
mega felt that
ratitude?
I think we can all agree this is exactly what we needed at this trying time
No features
No swedish songwriters
No trap beats
100% pure uncut rock
Take notes Green Day
Wrong band...
Nah Rivers never been a boomer
At least Weezer hasn’t gone full boomer
Carter you could even call it Hella Mega Cringe
Whats wrong with the swedish songwriters?
I work in a hospital with covid patients and being strong but it's beginning to take its toll.... Then I JUST found this song.... Thank you Weezer, always been a huge fan. Hard times for all, but together and washing our hands we'll get thru this.
people who watch the buddy holly music video: THEY LOOK SO YOUNG
people who watch this music video: THEY LOOK SO OLD
I never comment on TH-cam. But I have to this time. Thank you Weezer, and more importantly, thank you Heroes
My heart is so full. 💜 Thank you for allowing your fans to be a part of something so special.
Rivers, Brian, Pat and Scott. Thanks for a wonderful 25 or so years. My life is better because of your music. And now so is my children's.
Wow!! as a Healthcare worker (housekeeping in hospital) the letter at the end is very touching. I was at my place of work a year before covid hit. Been battling this dam thing since. To all my fellow Healthcare workers around the globe: I know yall tired. We did not sign up to be a heros. Just remember yall are not alone in this battle. It is ok to cry, scream, laugh, and drop to the floor. Just always remember to look up. A helping hand is always extended to pick you up for the rest of this battle. Love all yall.
Ok now release the whole album.
Aditya Mishra Its delayed :(
@@TommyDoesMusic no what why
Ashley S id hope that would be done considering it was supposed to be released this month
You’d think it has to be finished. Been on pre order for like half a year
This made me feel so great. Not because I'm an essential worker but because this shows people care about each other, and we need more of that.
This video and song are one of the few bright sides of 2020. Literally restored my faith in humanity.

Just got finished being violated by my Heat and Mass Transfer final exam to see this single finally dropped. Makes things a little better
If you close your eyes and convince yourself it's not Weezer, this could very easily be a track off of One Direction's midnight memories album. Rivers voice has a nice mix of some of the qualities of both Harry and Louis voices
Read the letter and here come the tears 😩😭 Love you Weezer ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Nice seeing Rivers' Red Album mustache coming back! Stay safe Weezer & Weezer fans! =w=
Beautiful message and awesome song!
thank you Weezer i love your songs and your concerts your my heroes
Weird. I haven't watched this (or heard the song really) since it came out during the whole "safer at home". That was a stressful, strange, exciting, and kind of scary experience. This song makes me long for the good parts of that time...the change of pace, being home and feeling safe with your family (I was fortunate enough to not have anything bad happen to loved ones). I'm not good at explaining things, but maybe some of you know what I mean.
I’m a simple man. I see Weezer. I click.
dylan I see u are a man of intelligence
Huzzah a man of quality
2:30-2:35: Brian: Here catch the plane Brian.
Brian: :-) Woah!! Thank you Brian that was awesome!! XD
I heard this song today for the first time on 88.6 Radio Rock, a Radio Station from Vienna, Austria. Had to search it on TH-cam, read the letter at the end and have to say "Thank you all" just for no special reason. For that we will continue to improve our respect to each other. Love to all of you from Salzburg, Austria, where the Mozartkugel was invented...
Weezer is my favourite band, they’re so good and have a variety of styled kind of like they go from Buddy Holly to Say It Ain’t So to this. Amazing
Yo that’s actually really good. All these bands r making albums but they don’t have that original sound of that band...Pearl Jam, Green Day, etc.
MarktheShark i couldn’t agree more
Okay but weezer is actually doing it good.
Green day father of all was... something
@@Persys It sure was pal
I dont mind bands changing their style lol just weezer never did it that well
