What I love most about this song is the existential dread that the opening gives one.

The opening is so good it gives me chills

he is wearing the Veracruz FC shirt a boy gave him when he was backpacking in Mexico, he had ran out of money and the boys family let him stay in their house and gave him food. That’s a really nice gesture of him to wear it. Shows how much he appreciated that moment.

gotta love when matt sharp casually sits down and when patrick wilson starts twittling his drum sticks around instead of playing but the audio is still the actual song

Matt Sharp is an amazing bassist. He even plays it without touching it.

Weezer is the king of what I used to call "Chill Grunge"-- loud and crunchy, but still kinda fun and laid-back.

weezer is literally the king of pre-credits music.

The track is a metaphor for the fragility of one's life and relationships. Throughout the song, they use the image of a sweater unraveling to represent when something in one's life begins to fall apart. The chorus references this idea, where the singer is metaphorically unraveling and is asking someone to hold onto the thread as they walk away. It conveys the idea of separating from someone or something in a peaceful, non-destructive way. They also explore the idea of being alone and lost, using the line "I’ll soon be naked/Lying on the floor, lying on the floor, I’ve come undone", which suggests that being on one's own is an inevitable part of life. Ultimately, the song serves as an ode to the fragility of life and encourages the listener to cherish their relationships while they can, and take time to appreciate the moments they have.

I love how every time the chorus repeats it adds extra layers of vocal harmony.

Imagine being a high school or college kid in 1994 and hearing The Blue Album for the first time. It must’ve been mind blowing

I used to fall asleep to the blue album at full blast in 7th grade. One of the most important albums in my adolescence. It was music for geeks before being a geek was a cool thing. God I love this band, especially this album

Weezer is undeniably one of the best 90s to early 2000s bands

I started listening to weezer as a joke but now I unironically like it

This song feels like spring but there's still a bit snow

I just had a music exam, one of the questions required you to pick a song and go fully in depth aboyt it, decribing the timbre, dynamics, tempo etc. i chose this

My brother listened to this on repeat on a road trip from Kentucky all the way to Daytona Beach, Florida. It was a long ride abd I couldn't stand this song after. Now when I listen to it, it makes me cry. I miss my bro ❤Joey❤

weezer's great guitar tone doesn't get as much mention as it deserves

Rivers: Science Teacher Brian: Math Teacher Matt: English Teacher Patrick: History Teacher

I was taking art classes with someone who worked for their recording label… she said that they were super nice, as well as talented…

I remember this song coming out on MTV and completely falling in love with this music....it was a great time for music and the genre. Glad to have experienced it.

bro this song is so good it feels like all of weezer is coming inside of me all at once

This music video has so many awesome things: 1. The room is upside down when the camera enters. This isn’t actually a camera trick or editing. The people in the hallway at the start were actually suspended from the ceiling to get this shot. 2. The video transitions from black and white to colour when the lights come on. 3. The video is in slow motion meaning Weezer were actually playing the song at around 1.5x speed for the video. 4. The video is on a set with a blue screen and other cameras that are never used. 5. Pat Wilson's Drumkit is only fitted with the drums he needs for this song. Bass, Snare, Floor Tom and Cymbals. 6. Weezer make very little attempt to look like they're playing the song. Note: Rivers just strumming the open strings and Matt sat on the floor. 7. All of the equipment is either not plugged in or not turned on. Note: Brian's microphone cable just lying on the floor, lying on the flooorrr, it's come undone. 8. None of them are wearing sweaters. 9. Dogs. 10. It's Weezer all over. I fell in love with this band because of this song and video. It's fun and it's cool as heck.

This makes me wanna perform in a talent show and have my piano fall

i don't know why that simple riff along with the conversations is so amazing to me. easily the best part of the song.

Weezer gives me nostalgia about memories ive never had.

everyone isnt a virgin until this song comes on. tis a banger

starting 2024 with weezer!

One of the most iconic songs of all time

Life is like a giant cable-knit sweater that someone keeps unraveling but another person is on the other end knitting and knitting and knitting forever

I can’t hear this song without thinking of that vine of the talent show kids performing and their keyboard falling

Pat is my favorite part of this video. The dancing, the running, the faces. God I love this band

For guitarists it goes: Pattern 1: 6 times Pattern 2: 4 times Pattern 1: 2 times Pattern 2: 6 times Pattern 3 (or solo): 4 times and the rest of the song is Pattern 2 (It wont make sense unless you know the 3 patterns but for people who know here you go)

Someone made a 10Hr loop of the guitar intro. And I’m not sure if that’s the kind of energy I need right now or not. Either way, a masterpiece.

I remember my father showing this song to me and telling me to remember that it was alright to be a loser sometimes because you can’t win everything. Now I’ve got way more emotional attachment to this band than I should be allowed to

Whoever wrote this song is a musical genius. There’s no question of it.

15 years later and still a banger

This song and video just gives me the vibes of a bunch of nerdy high schoolers coming home in the 90s and absolutely rocking out in their garage and i love it

Weezer was uncool before being uncool was cool.

ABSOLUTE BANGER. Their best song.

This os the coolest garage band video of alltime by a great band.

I grew up on grunge, but Weezer always had a retro sound, truly unique in the 90's. I've always loved them. I remember seeing them at Lollapalooza, they did not disappoint.

The coolest nerds ever.

Pull this thread,as I walk Ehhh weeeeeee!(as I walk awaeeyaay)

Forget all the negative comments. WEEZER ROCKS, an GREAT addition to the 90s..

The guitar in the beginning is absolutely fucking amazing, I have no idea why I like it so much

My 13 year old son just got a full drum set. His best friend is here right now, and she's in the garage trying them out. I was in the kitchen and thought, "Damn, that sounds just like the beginning of that one Weezer song!..." thought she was just foolin around. I went out to tell her and turned out she was watching a tutorial for it lol I'd know that drum bit anywhere, anyday!

Best words I've heard this year from my 13 year old "hey mom, have you heard of the band Weezer?" Nevermind Weezer was a defining cornerstone of my adolescent music formation in the late 90s/early 00s. Rock on forever!

I still own a copy of the blue album CD. Still takes me back to that time. Loved it then, love it now

The guitar riffs are godly. Weezer never misses when it comes to catchy tunes.

I like weezers style, they remind of a bunch of socially awkward nerds to decided to form a band to be cool.But they're just inherently cool anyway and make cool music.

I remember getting this album when it came out and it was maybe one of the best things I'd heard in my 13 year old life. All these years later, the album still holds up, and is one of my most favourite albums ever. ✌️

Rivers Cuomo con la playera de los Tiburones Rojos del Veracruz una verdadera joya! Saludos desde México!

This band always reminds me of Microsoft Windoze 95. The example clip for the media player was Weezer Buddy Holly song.

My 11 year old daughter asks "Why are none of them wearing sweaters?" A question for the ages...

Used to listen to this one A LOT….still not bored….it stood the test of time. Classic.

I’m about to weez😫

I sing this song to my dryer.

I love how Rivers’ hair looks like both Velma’s and Shaggy’s.

One of the best band of the 90's! Great song!!

I love the part at the end when Patrick just randomly starts running around his drum kit and a bunch of dogs come out of nowhere

I love how they purposely made no attempt to synchronize the music with the playing. And the running of the hounds. Perfect!

according to Wikipedia, Spike Jonze's proposal was one of the few to not involve a sweater. His pitch was simply "A blue stage, a steadycam, a pack of wild dogs."

30 years ago this band became my first “favorite band” as a High Schooler and it started with this video. Super rare you still have that band relevant and still making great music all this time to current day.

The production on this was incredible audio and visual…from the crowd dialogue to the placement of cinematic cuts aligning with the energy of the song….sheeesh just a prime example of why the 90’s was the best era ever!!!💯🤘🏽❤️

I love the drummer’s dance at 3:10.

The opening is such a great guitar line

this is my first ever weezer song and ngl it kicks ass

Still a golden song, the drumming for this song is so bloody great

when I was in sixth grade, I sang this song so much and throughout the year, all the other boys joined in and we were obsessed with it. one day, I don't know what happened with the teacher but she snapped and told all of us she used to like this song but now she can't stand it. she looked like she was almost going to cry. it still makes me feel warm inside

Am I the only one that genuinely thinks their music is good. Like out of jokes and because it's "weird" or "uncool" like i actually vibe with this shit

The Blue album is the GOAT, and this song is perfection. I have loved it from the moment I first heard it 30 years ago. Masterpiece.

I'm listening to this in 2024, and this still holds up better than anything on Top 40 today. Facts 💯

God I love Weezer. How can you not? They look like nerds and are one of the most beloved bands ever

Its almost 2022, Im done with my studies, and trying to pay my rent with music. Ive been listening to this track since Im 12, so I listened to the song half of my life. It grew me up I guess. Thank you Weezer!

i used to listening this song all the time weezer was by far my favorite band. 29 years later is the favorite song of my son. and we talked about weezer for the last hour or so. thank you guys

We harvesting mangoes in Tahiti with this one 🗣🗣🔥🔥💯💯🔥🔥❗️❗️

This song feels like the last few days of summer holiday before school starts back. You're still on holiday but you know it's ending soon

The Blue Album is the soundtrack to my childhood. When I close my eyes and listen to the Blue Album, I can escape this world. Its amazing.

I love the guitar tone on this song so much

The drummer gets me every time 🤣🤣🤣😭

I love the ending. It sounds like someone slowly descending into madness.

This song so represents my life. In 2010 I lost my home, in 2015 my son (and only child died). Many other things have happened as well. Life at times can be an unraveling sweater that you just can't stop no matter how hard you try. 😢 My son was a big fan of Weezer as well.

I saw weezer the blue album tour when I was 13 years old. I will forever love Weezer & this song I still remember them doing this song. Such an amazing first concert!

Saw them in Huntsville Alabama last night. Fing rocked the place.

subtitles: (slow rock music) deaf people: AYO THIS IS FIRE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I love songs with overlapping spoken dialogue bits that help carry the story. The detachment the main speaker feels is so emphasized through that, in this case. The song wouldn’t be nearly as personality filled without those parts coloring everything else.

Honestly top 5 song all time.

Rip to all them dogs 😢

Actually one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard

This has always been my favorite weezer song. My dad passed on the 17th and my mom told me my dad loved this song too. I didn’t even know my dad liked weezer.

Thank God I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s

one of the coolest videos and most unsettling riffs of all time

This reminds me of my fiance that passed away. He loved this song. It's makes my smile .

I love how they're not even trying to look like they're playing their instruments in the video

The lyrics of this song are still so genius....

This is literally the most fun song to yell the lyrics as loud as i can when I'm drunk.

I swear I could listen to this all day and still love it.

this is the song of eternal youth

Heard this song at a restaurant, I’m glad I discovered this band through this song 🔥🔥🔥

I love how they didn’t even have to make sure the miming actually matched the music, that’s how great they are
