Don't you see? Weezer isn't some band. 'Weezer', in the technical sense, never even existed. Weezer was always an idea. One that's transformative- passing from soul to soul with time passed. Weezer is an allegory for the hardships of adolescence lost, of discomforting change, of human all nature itself. There's a little bit of Weezer in all of us, and in that sense, we are all Weezer. Like an olympic torch being passed, 'Weezer' will always embrace the physical form of a new entity when the ones who once bore it age and adapt, and in them Weezer will write itself onto the page and within every lick of the golden 4 chord melody. To yearn for the return, nay- the revival of Weezer; an understandable, but misguided principle. Weezer never left. Weezer has been there when man first step foot on land, and Weezer will be there when man takes its final step. It may disguise itself, shuffle the letters around, but the prospect of Weezer is everlong. And in this night, once again, it has blessed us through the effigy of Billy Cobb. God speed.
Although Zerwee’s sophomore album contained fewer radio hits than their debut, Tinkerpon was realesed to wide acclaim from Zerwee fans and is still contested to be Zerwee’s strongest showing.

Billy. You’ve truly created something astounding. You’ve reminded me why I have loved Weezer for so long in the first place. This is what I have been longing for since high school, a true follow up to Songs from the Black Hole. An evolution. And you really do sound so much like Rivers at times, it’s crazy. But the song writing here, man, it’s out of this world. The mixing, the lyrics, everything. This album is taking THE 90s weezer nostalgia and running wild with it. Keep it up man.
Title of track 3 (Orihime and hikoboshi) and track 8 (Naita Aka Oni) are famous fairy-tale in Japan. If you are curious about these stories, the following links will help you to understand.

Hey billy, after reading the description i just want to let you know there’s no reason for apologizing for giving us this great work of art even if it’s “not what some people were expecting”. I loved it and the first one as well, but i’m glad to read you’re exploring more on your own voice after this as i think stuff like the boro and strokes of incarceration even better. But this really spoke to me too, i’ve only listened to it once and haven’t really taken on the full meanings of each song yet but there were so many lines that resonated with me really strongly. It brought a tear to my eye and i just want to say thank you.
Used to love Weezer, but they turned into my sad drinking music after some stuff. Was having a rough night last summer and Shell Shack popped up out of nowhere in my Weezer spotify playlist. Didn’t recognize it from any of their discography and it took me until the next morning to realize that BOP wasn’t even Weezer. Changed a lot of things since then so thanks Billy. You da man.

I remember my mom was taking me through the Taco Bell parking lot literally the second zerwee 2 came out. I put it on the radio and we listened the entire way home. That was 5 years ago and my Mom passed away in 2021. I stopped listening to a lot of weezer and other similar music and artists. I’ve just been recommended this today and even though it’s not been that long the intro just took me back in time.
When KK Slider started singing I violently broke down in tears and started writhing on the living room floor. It felt as if all my inner demons had been forcibly purged from my body, and though it was intense and cathartic, I have never been happier than after that singular moment.
I love how different it is from zerwee, while being very familiar with the source material......it's the most magnificent thing you have done ever. It sounds so good.

And it feels like the most ambitious of them all, I think this is my favorite project you have done since Halloween lll. Feeling a strong 8 on this, billy. Great amazing job....
The overlapping vocals at the end of Longtime Sunshine made it one of my all-time favorite Weezer tracks, so as soon as I started to recognize that the overlapping lyrics in Pepper's Ghost were from the songs earlier in this album, I was filled with a joy that I cannot describe. I fucking love your songs--both your own personal releases and your weezer-inspired ones--and this album was no exception! I look forward to hearing more of your work, man!
I don't know why that vocal effect makes me weepy, it's like a culmination and sense of closure. Oddly enough this still worked on Pinkerton where at least one of those vocal tracks was from Blast Off, which was cut from the final album.

It honestly doesn’t sound like weezer as the first one did but it also doesn’t sound like billy cobb this sounds like it’s own amazing thing and I love it you did amazing billy we are all proud of you
The second to last song actually made me weep. I was late to the premier but im happy I didn't miss that one. I'll listen to the songs I missed soon. I can already tell this is one of the best albums I have ever heard, thank you for existing, Billy. *Edit:* It is indeed one of the best I have heard
I genuinely like the eerie and somber tone of this album compared to the first one, it gives the lyrics a more focused feel and makes the background pop!
Zerwee pt1 was a fun jaunt that I recommended to a few friends who were Weezer fans and listened to it a few times. Zerwee pt2 is a bloody masterclass. If you are reading the comments section, make sure to listen all the way through!
I said this in the chat, but it's so cool how Billy managed to take the musical cues of Weezer and make them feel like his own. Doing that is incredibly difficult to pull off and yet he managed to nail it.
I know what you said in the description about it not sounding as best as it could, but damn dude! As an aspiring bedroom producer and weezer fan I think this project’s phenomenally inspirational. Always looking forward to hearing your material of all kinds
Lyrics: 00:00 The Barg'n-Mart I've been waiting for the Sun to wake me up Endless rays of serotonin and a little bit of songs to push my luck So help take the edge off and please help me out Clean off the tables and fall through the clouds Long and lonely winter Are you gonna be the one to break my heart? And sail on out to sea without me Long and lonely winter Are you gonna be the one to break my heart? And sail on out to sea without me I've been feeling pretty scared of human life Feel my blood pressure increase whenever I go walk outside So tie me to rockets and blast me to space Let my remains represent human race Long and lonely winter Are you gonna be the one to break my heart? And sail on out to sea without me Long and lonely winter Are you gonna be the one to break my heart? And sail on out to sea without me Can't believe I've let it go this far When will this thing end? So I can live again Go to the Barg'N-Mart and buy back all my friends Go to the Barg'N-Mart Go back to my home Go to the Barg'N-Mart 05:29 Oceans in Her Hair She speaks scribes of ancient tongue with Eyes caressed by waves Leaks originality and Lifts you with her gaze Celestial hearts need beating too She needs a savior from her doom A voyage to her soul sets star ships in the air She dances starboard with the oceans in her hair She's a maze of twists and turns that Leads you to the moon She takes aim at all the stars and Pops them like balloons Her crescent smile speaks to the gods They take her to the great beyond A voyage to her soul sets star ships in the air She dances starboard with the oceans in her hair Astral flowers wring her neck She lives uncovered Ascends all labels as a goddess made of color A voyage to her soul sets star ships in the air She dances starboard with the oceans in her hair 10:27 Orihime and Hikoboshi Though your heartbeat's stable I can feel it wear I'll be there to bond wounds When they start to tear Through the tears and through the blood I'll act as your crutch Though I'm here without you I still feel your touch I will embrace Through skies of gray Take you to mercury And stars will light the way When you're lost I'll find you Swinging from a thread I would move ten mountains Just to clear your dread I will buy you all the things That make you feel safe Just to know you're safe with me Takes away my pain I will embrace Through skies of gray Take you to mercury And stars will light the way I will embrace Through skies of gray Take you to mercury And stars will light the way I will embrace Through skies of gray Take you to mercury And stars will light the way 15:15 I Wish That I Was Younger I wish that I was younger That I could throw away my fears But each day I still grow older As I waste away my years I wish that I was younger (La la la la) That I could throw away my fears (La la la la) But each day I still grow older (La la la la) As I waste away my years (La la la la) I wish that I was younger Then I could throw away my fears But each day I still grow older As I waste away my years ___________________________________ continued in reply, TH-cam won't let me put it all in one comment :(

Embrace the rocket and shoot for the skies I wear spikes while she wears pretty dress But I buy candy while she buys cigarettes With Ludo and Hoggle She drinks her booze Still puts on her favorite tunes What's she got to lose While the sweet concept of time marches on Marches on, marches on Marches on, marches on Marches on, marches on Marches on, marches on Marches on, marches on Marches on, marches on Marches on, marches on And I wear spikes while she wears pretty dress But I buy candy while she buys cigarettes While Ludo and Hoggle do their best While the burden of time marches on Marches on, marches on Marches on, marches on Marches on "Wow, Billy, great moves, keep it up" - Rivers "Weezer" Cuomo, 2020 _____________________________________________________________ Feel free to suggest any changes, I've probably misheard some stuff :)
I'm not going to lie, I listened to this when it first came out and hated it. Coming back to it now I'm legitimately loving it. I guess that's the weezer pinkerton effect.
I first listened to the blue album in high school, and couldn't stop listening to it, Just like Zerwee part 1. And, just like Pinkerton, I listened to part 2 and didn't immediately love it but after about 3 months found myself loving it more than the original. Now the question is, when does part 3 come out so I can stop listening altogether.
This is the perfect album to just vibe and hang out to. Perfect to fall asleep to. I needed to hear the message of this album too, or I needed to hear what I got out of it, at least. Thanks.
@@solidsentinel1285 what the fuck?? a premiere in my feed? well, i guess i'll just have to dislike it since it dared to take up ONE of the 50 slots in my recommended. let me ignore whatever the content is or how the creator is trying to survive and just make matters worse for them! it's all about me, anyway
Ok, I love this, Zerwee part 1 holds a special place in my heart because some songs in there are how me and my girlfriend met back in December, and we still listen to this day 7 months on. Now to have a part two with some more amazing songs and sounds and even longer than the last, it’s a gift considering my gf and I can’t hold each other because of the pandemic. Thanks Billy.
Goddamn I’m so glad you’re on this platform, a meme person who also makes genuinely amazing music is exactly what I needed, blockbuster video is stunningly good
i mean... this is literally fantastic like wow i'm astonished, if I didn't find this i would probably die thank you billy and thank you YT recommendations 👁️👄👁️
It's been a while since I felt good listening to Weezer. Rough times sometimes take certain music away from you for a while. Zerwee's a real pleasure. Thanks for making this music, I really appreciate it.
This and the first zerwee album is so comforting. Billy just puts you through all types of moods and you can still understand the song and it's intent. From his rock spongebob covers to songs like "She doesn't love me," it's just so homely and sometimes even uplifting Thank you.
Been listening to this album for a few months now and it’s in the rotation as one of my favorites, truly awesome that you were able to invoke Weezer while still being entirely unique and while having impressive lyricism. Look forward to more music from you
Billy Cobb you are awesome! More like a dream or fantasy that is actually real. You are sent from somewhere else. Pete and Pete has an episode about a tv show that was sent to another galaxy. And the aliens came to earth to see it get finished, I think you catch my drift......Thanks man!

EXACTLY!
It is either pure genius or pure coincidence that the zerwee duo is almost exactly an hour long
Used to love Weezer, but they turned into my sad drinking music after some stuff. Was having a rough night last summer and Shell Shack popped up out of nowhere in my Weezer spotify playlist.
Didn’t recognize it from any of their discography and it took me until the next morning to realize that BOP wasn’t even Weezer. Changed a lot of things since then so thanks Billy. You da man.
The 8 people who disliked this probably thought he was the real Weezer and we all know that Weezer fans hate their songs

That was 5 years ago and my Mom passed away in 2021. I stopped listening to a lot of weezer and other similar music and artists. I’ve just been recommended this today and even though it’s not been that long the intro just took me back in time.

The sequel we've all been waiting for
The Golden Era we’ve been waiting for indeed hahaha
funke is having a heart attack rn
i know i am lmao
idk what billy is talking about in the description, this is godly
Let’s play rock band
Even tho billy said it won’t sound exactly like the first Zerwee I know it’s gonna be just as good Im actually so excited
Oceans In Her Hair is so beautiful. One of the most beautiful rock songs I've ever heard in my life.

It honestly doesn’t sound like weezer as the first one did but it also doesn’t sound like billy cobb this sounds like it’s own amazing thing and I love it you did amazing billy we are all proud of you
Y'know, in a way, Younger is like the spiritual successor to 1955 and I really like that
That outro in Pepper's Ghost is pure magic. EVERTHING in this album is pure magic.
Thank you Billy
This album doesn't feel like summer at all. Thank god
The second to last song actually made me weep. I was late to the premier but im happy I didn't miss that one. I'll listen to the songs I missed soon. I can already tell this is one of the best albums I have ever heard, thank you for existing, Billy.
*Edit:* It is indeed one of the best I have heard
I genuinely like the eerie and somber tone of this album compared to the first one, it gives the lyrics a more focused feel and makes the background pop!
Yeah this one is the Pinkerton while the first one is the Blue album in a way.
Zerwee pt1 was a fun jaunt that I recommended to a few friends who were Weezer fans and listened to it a few times. Zerwee pt2 is a bloody masterclass. If you are reading the comments section, make sure to listen all the way through!
I said this in the chat, but it's so cool how Billy managed to take the musical cues of Weezer and make them feel like his own. Doing that is incredibly difficult to pull off and yet he managed to nail it.
Why do the drums actually sound like Pinkerton wtf
Yeah-- and the cover art too! what the hell is happening?
Joel Davis Cover is a painting from the same artist that did the pinkerton painting
This is Pinkerton 2
I have the feeling this is better than the actual weezer album is gonna be 2021
i hope van weezer will be the next maladroit
The Sos Undone that’s be dope, with a poppier sound though.
the new Weezer album slaps tho
I come from 2021 to tell you...
No. Zerwee 2 is still pretty damn good tho!
And you are right
Van-Weezer and Hellamega are postponed, and Ozma hasn't made an album in 6 years
Billy Cobb: Well then, guess it's Zerwee time
i still await the day for a new ozma album
I know what you said in the description about it not sounding as best as it could, but damn dude! As an aspiring bedroom producer and weezer fan I think this project’s phenomenally inspirational. Always looking forward to hearing your material of all kinds
I agree! I think it sounds great
It’s really amazing, both as it’s own thing and as a Weezer album
what a masterpiece. loved Peppers ghost, and Ludo and Hoggle. thank you for this billy cobb, I will listen everyday.
Oooweee a premier for a video. Its so cool to think that the video is already out and then click on it and find nothing. Thanks billy.
The song "Ghost pepper" makes me feel something. A sort of sadness and happiness at the same time
I’m calling it, Songy Bob is about to do it again
incredible !!! i wish my cat understood the concept of music so we could listen to it together
Lyrics:
00:00 The Barg'n-Mart
I've been waiting for the Sun to wake me up
Endless rays of serotonin and a little bit of songs to push my luck
So help take the edge off and please help me out
Clean off the tables and fall through the clouds
Long and lonely winter
Are you gonna be the one to break my heart?
And sail on out to sea without me
Long and lonely winter
Are you gonna be the one to break my heart?
And sail on out to sea without me
I've been feeling pretty scared of human life
Feel my blood pressure increase whenever I go walk outside
So tie me to rockets and blast me to space
Let my remains represent human race
Long and lonely winter
Are you gonna be the one to break my heart?
And sail on out to sea without me
Long and lonely winter
Are you gonna be the one to break my heart?
And sail on out to sea without me
Can't believe I've let it go this far
When will this thing end?
So I can live again
Go to the Barg'N-Mart and buy back all my friends
Go to the Barg'N-Mart
Go back to my home
Go to the Barg'N-Mart
05:29 Oceans in Her Hair
She speaks scribes of ancient tongue with
Eyes caressed by waves
Leaks originality and
Lifts you with her gaze
Celestial hearts need beating too
She needs a savior from her doom
A voyage to her soul sets star ships in the air
She dances starboard with the oceans in her hair
She's a maze of twists and turns that
Leads you to the moon
She takes aim at all the stars and
Pops them like balloons
Her crescent smile speaks to the gods
They take her to the great beyond
A voyage to her soul sets star ships in the air
She dances starboard with the oceans in her hair
Astral flowers wring her neck
She lives uncovered
Ascends all labels as a goddess made of color
A voyage to her soul sets star ships in the air
She dances starboard with the oceans in her hair
10:27 Orihime and Hikoboshi
Though your heartbeat's stable
I can feel it wear
I'll be there to bond wounds
When they start to tear
Through the tears and through the blood
I'll act as your crutch
Though I'm here without you
I still feel your touch
I will embrace
Through skies of gray
Take you to mercury
And stars will light the way
When you're lost I'll find you
Swinging from a thread
I would move ten mountains
Just to clear your dread
I will buy you all the things
That make you feel safe
Just to know you're safe with me
Takes away my pain
I will embrace
Through skies of gray
Take you to mercury
And stars will light the way
I will embrace
Through skies of gray
Take you to mercury
And stars will light the way
I will embrace
Through skies of gray
Take you to mercury
And stars will light the way
15:15 I Wish That I Was Younger
I wish that I was younger
That I could throw away my fears
But each day I still grow older
As I waste away my years
I wish that I was younger (La la la la)
That I could throw away my fears (La la la la)
But each day I still grow older (La la la la)
As I waste away my years (La la la la)
I wish that I was younger
Then I could throw away my fears
But each day I still grow older
As I waste away my years

18:14 Blockbuster Video
I thought of something, why don't we rent a video tonight?
When I was a kid
There was a store
Right down the street
We’d go to that store
And browse some films
That we can see
To laugh
To dream
To fight
To scream
I must be pretty old
I remember Blockbuster Video
Renting comedies
And some cheap screams
To share with friends
Spaceballs, Groundhog Day,
Wayne's World 2, and Spiderman
To laugh
To dream
To fight
To scream
I must be pretty old
I remember Blockbuster Video
Everything's moving so fast
Everything’s moving so fast
Everything's moving so fast
Everything's moving so fast
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sales were getting low
And people were
Starting to stream
Then tragedy struck
They closed the store
2014
I must be pretty old

23:02 Interlude
(this is just music)
23:34 Sail Away, Old Friend
The carnival ended early
It's a sad, sad day
Out of the clouds there’s a whisper
I hear you call my name
Sail away, old friend
Into the distant blue
And make amends
Where all amends are due
And when you leave, how I'll miss you
I'll be with you 'til the end
You will always be my friend
Until the day we start our lives anew
Could it be? It’s been so long
And I sadly knew this day would come
And I'll miss you, I'll miss you 'til I'm gone
I won't forget how we bonded
It was a sacred love
And now that you have departed
You have left me feeling crushed
Sail away, old friend
Into the distant blue
And make amends
Where all amends are due
And when you leave, how I'll miss you
I'll be with you 'til the end
You will always be my friend
Until the day we start our lives anew
Could it be? It’s been so long
And I sadly knew this day would come
And I’ll miss you, I'll miss you 'til I’m gone
Sail away, old friend
Into the distant blue
And make amends
Where all amends are due
And when you leave, how I'll miss you
I'll be with you 'til the end
You will always be my friend
Until the day we start our lives anew
Could it be? It’s been so long
And I sadly knew this day would come
And I'll miss you, I'll miss you 'til I'm gone
28:54 Naita Aka Oni
I've been so lonely
Nobody's my friend
I've missed you dearly
Since our friendship's end
And I promise I'm no good without you
And I gave you up for everything
Like Naita Aka Oni you've left me by my hand
Standing and waiting
Therapeutic rain
Wait for your memory
To come save me away
And I promise I'm no good without you
And I gave you up for everything
Like Naita Aka Oni you've left me by my hand
You've left me by my hand
By my hand
By my hand
And I promise I'm no good without you
And I gave you up for everything
Like Naita Aka Oni you've left me by my hand
(something in Japanese, I'm not sure)
32:36 Pepper's Ghost (Last part's a bit of a mess but I think I got it all)
I forgot how to fly
But that's okay
I've been dreaming of nights
Where I've seen better days
I'm a ghost in a shell
Waiting to be cracked
You'll be okay
You'll be okay
Oh
When you feel rather down
There's a place you can drown
I'll be there just to save you
You're a ghost, a reflection
A host of affection
A mirror to the other side
You'll be okay
You'll be okay
You'll be okay
You'll be okay
Long and lonely winter
Are you gonna be the one who breaks my heart?
And sails on out to sea without me
And I promise I'm no good without you
(Long and lonely winter)
And I gave you up for everything
(Are you gonna be the one who breaks my heart?)
Like Naita Aka Oni you've left me
(And sails on out to sea without me)
And I promise I'm no good without you
(Long and lonely winter)
And I gave you up for everything
(Are you gonna be the one who breaks my heart?)

38:14 Ludo and Hoggle
She puts down her storybooks
Doesn't like the way she looks
Takes off her nightgown and starts a parade
Feelings of pleasure and distant cascades
Dances when she's home alone
Stuffed bears, marijuana smoke
Take off the training wheels, go for a ride
Explore yourself and explore the outside
I wear spikes while she wears pretty dress
But I buy candy while she buys cigarettes
With Ludo and Hoggle
Takes her makeup off the shelf
Sees herself as someone else
Life in a bubble is all that she knows
Distant from family and distant from home
Monsters take her by the hand
Shows her the forbidden lands
Lost and afraid, yet a curious ride (Whee!)
Embrace the rocket and shoot for the skies
I wear spikes while she wears pretty dress
But I buy candy while she buys cigarettes
With Ludo and Hoggle
She drinks her booze
Still puts on her favorite tunes
What's she got to lose
While the sweet concept of time marches on
Marches on, marches on
Marches on, marches on
Marches on, marches on
Marches on, marches on
Marches on, marches on
Marches on, marches on
Marches on, marches on
And I wear spikes while she wears pretty dress
But I buy candy while she buys cigarettes
While Ludo and Hoggle do their best
While the burden of time marches on
Marches on, marches on
Marches on, marches on
Marches on
"Wow, Billy, great moves, keep it up" - Rivers "Weezer" Cuomo, 2020

Feel free to suggest any changes, I've probably misheard some stuff :)
@@apurrson6946 appreciate the effort! liked by me!
Dayum this album art is poppin
Where's that Rolling Stone terrible review?
Honestly one of my favorite albums of 2020
I'm really glad that Weezer finally collabed with K.K Slider. It's about time.
Right? I fell right out hearing that.
I know it isn't out yet, but could there possibly be a vinyl release in the future?
Star Espeø anything’s possible
zerwee 7" + zerwee 12" crowdfunding campaign when
I’d lowkey want a shirt or a hoodie
John Sevilla yeah man I friggin love that album art
Thinking the same
Ertonpink
Tonkerpin
@@sunknee5139 calling me toinkerpinhead?
Quebec is the Chair who you callin pinhead?
Poinkernt
Knopertin
I don't have to have heard it yet to know I'll be excited once its on Spotify
(Edit) Yeah I need this on Spotify. You've outdone yourself again, Billy
It just sounds like the background of the Pinkerton went from night to day
zerwee 1 was blue album, zerwee 2 is gonna be the under appreciated album which slowly becomes a cult classic
I'm not going to lie, I listened to this when it first came out and hated it. Coming back to it now I'm legitimately loving it. I guess that's the weezer pinkerton effect.
I love how slow and heavy it is. The slow and heavy never disappoints
Ooh Yeah. It's all coming together
I first listened to the blue album in high school, and couldn't stop listening to it, Just like Zerwee part 1. And, just like Pinkerton, I listened to part 2 and didn't immediately love it but after about 3 months found myself loving it more than the original.
Now the question is, when does part 3 come out so I can stop listening altogether.
I never thought this day would come. No matter how it sounds, I'm sure it'll be great. Also something about spongebob or whatever
This is beautiful, I mean that genuinely.
This is the perfect album to just vibe and hang out to. Perfect to fall asleep to. I needed to hear the message of this album too, or I needed to hear what I got out of it, at least. Thanks.
Also, I can't wait for when/if chords/tabs to these songs come out. I'd love to play them.
17:00 not the collab we wanted but the one we *needed*
Love the album art !
Ikr. Real pinkerton vibes
Neoglacier made by the same artist
Very good stuff. Similar enough to Pinkerton to scratch that itch and fresh enough to stand on its own.
Why can this have dislikes, even before starting
because these are weezer fans
Because sometimes it’s annoying to get a premier in your new videos feed.
@@solidsentinel1285 it'll be okay ethan
@@solidsentinel1285 what the fuck?? a premiere in my feed? well, i guess i'll just have to dislike it since it dared to take up ONE of the 50 slots in my recommended. let me ignore whatever the content is or how the creator is trying to survive and just make matters worse for them! it's all about me, anyway
Yt bots, bet
Ok, I love this, Zerwee part 1 holds a special place in my heart because some songs in there are how me and my girlfriend met back in December, and we still listen to this day 7 months on. Now to have a part two with some more amazing songs and sounds and even longer than the last, it’s a gift considering my gf and I can’t hold each other because of the pandemic. Thanks Billy.
Goddamn I’m so glad you’re on this platform, a meme person who also makes genuinely amazing music is exactly what I needed, blockbuster video is stunningly good
It’s really cool that this is 45 minutes long! Each collection of music you put out is getting better and better. Keep up the work!
Still waiting to Zerwee part III 😢
i mean...
this is literally fantastic like wow i'm astonished, if I didn't find this i would probably die thank you billy and thank you YT recommendations 👁️👄👁️
The art work is beautiful
It's been a while since I felt good listening to Weezer. Rough times sometimes take certain music away from you for a while. Zerwee's a real pleasure. Thanks for making this music, I really appreciate it.
I've waiting for this, goddamn!
This and the first zerwee album is so comforting. Billy just puts you through all types of moods and you can still understand the song and it's intent. From his rock spongebob covers to songs like "She doesn't love me," it's just so homely and sometimes even uplifting
Thank you.
17:00 Holy crap, this man got *THE* KK Slider on his album
Nice
Been listening to this album for a few months now and it’s in the rotation as one of my favorites, truly awesome that you were able to invoke Weezer while still being entirely unique and while having impressive lyricism. Look forward to more music from you
The fact that Rivers Cuomo has as of yet mentioned Billy's work publicly only tells me one thing.
He's been showed up.
Pepper's Ghost... My god, what a masterpiece.
Still gives me the chills to this day.
Billy Cobb you are awesome! More like a dream or fantasy that is actually real. You are sent from somewhere else. Pete and Pete has an episode about a tv show that was sent to another galaxy. And the aliens came to earth to see it get finished, I think you catch my drift......Thanks man!
Billy, this is incredible.
