    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.

    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.

      @@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.

    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.

    "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.

    It's exceedingly rare I get chills listening to a song for the first time. For me, that usually comes with familiarity. But within 20 seconds I got chills listening to this song. Since 2016, I've been saying Weezer can actually put out an album better than Blue and Pinkerton, because White came damned close. Van Weezer just may be that album. I usually don't care for the Weezer singles on their good albums, and only like their singles on their weaker albums. White, Blue, and Pinkerton are the only exceptions to this, and I really have my hopes up now that Van Weezer is going to be one such album as well, because I love both Hero and End of the Game.
