Weezer - King Of The World

[@emberpercival8054]

I love the meaning behind this song. Rivers' wife Kyoko went through tough times and this song is literally just him saying he's with her to the end, it's really sentimental

[@Me_encanta_la_ligma]

I cried reading this comment

[@ZackScottGames]

Yes! Another self-titled album! The White Album!

[@TheGlooSniffer]

Didn't expect to see you here. I forgot you were a weezer fan.

[@thischannelwillnolongerbep7206]

+ZackScottGames If that's true, would they get sued by the Beatles?

[@thischannelwillnolongerbep7206]

true

[@zladvevo9724]

+ZackScottGames didn't expect you here!

[@PsyCoCinematics]

+That Guy Who Reviews Albums Still, considering how well known it is to music fans, even more so to musicians, they decided to do it anyway. Hope it is a solid album or they'll get tore up for it.

[@Umprella]

Some dark lyrics on this one. References to Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 and the atomic bombings of Japan, but still manages to sound as upbeat as the Beach Boys in their prime. That kind of tension between heaviness and lightness is at the heart of all classic Weezer songs.

[@sharifothman92]

Browdy I think he refers to the dark side of the lyrics which you can always find with Weezer

[@AdamHBr]

+Umprella Thx Hank

[@cbrodeo5935]

When I hear Cuomo make little witty or dark remarks in his music, like the one on Asian parents, I always feel like he's trying to make a little push through on his politically incorrect lyrics as a whole. Without being quite on the same level he was on in the earlier albums.

Yo’ I just binged watched your whole Saw/Conjuring/Insidious timeline this week coincidentally. Great work + music taste 💯

[@FUNKe]

I've got my concerns with some of the song names, but I've enjoyed every released single from salvation to this so I'm more than faithful the white album will be great too.

[@dulan193]

I'm still scared that this may be an April Fools joke. it might be make believe backwards

[@jacobbastian1849]

i had similar concerns for the last album . with titles in such. and that one turned out great

[@ELSTINKO.]

[@mylkwagon]

+FUNKe I was awaiting your comment for so long lol.

[@simonr.2793]

+trash #57 (ProbablyNotTreCool) why does Make Believe get so much hate? It's a masterpiece compared to Raditute.

[@amogussussy.4134]

I love the 🟦🟩🟥⬜️ at the beginning.

[@pimpdaddy3720]

Bruh I just now got that after reading your comment 💀

[@schmoyoho]

April 1st comes. I go to the grocery store and by a can of deluxe white albums. I pop one onto the turntables back at home to give it a spin. A familiar drum fill rings out and I suddenly hear Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up. Sweating profusely, I frantically try all the other albums from the can. Same thing over and over and over and over. I HAVE BEEN APRIL FOOOOOOOOOLED

[@jukebox.monepyants]

+schmoyoho Would love to see the Gerg bros do a Weezer cover

[@SERGEL-96]

+James Dean Gardner Their best song.

[@brazzledazzle-o9w]

+James Dean Gardner i wish i was listening to only in dreams instead of this weak shit

[@ChrisTheSheriff]

I love this song, what makes it even better is Rivers' wife's response on Genius Lyrics the fact that she resonates so well with this song he wrote specifically for her makes it much more special...

[@Skarface182]

This song is the cutest when you find out that Rivers wrote this directly to his wife and she responds to it on Genius lyrics

[@artvjon]

I don't pre-order things often, but you've got my support. This fucking rocks!

[@sinancemcetin4060]

+ARTV these lyrics are weird tho. In a good way.

[@artvjon]

Sinan Cem Çetin I agree

[@countingcrows123]

+Sinan Cem Çetin they are classic weezer lyrics!

[@KimNormalOfficial]

+ARTV sounds like pinkerton mixed with blue mixed with everything will be alright in the end. I love this song

[@turdferguson3803]

+ARTV Sounds like something off the Green Album, it's decent. The other two singles are a lot better though.

[@blueocean702]

This video is beautiful, also, the part where he meets the lady again, takes a handful and gives her the finger so harmonically along with the music, always gets me.

[@ABC-hs7gr]

This is honestly probably my fav weezer song👏

[@legitimatelemons]

Those color flashes. White Album confirmed.

[@Alexyz656]

+Hexadecimateditunes.apple.com/mx/album/weezer-white-album/id1072189339?app=itunes&ign-mpt=uo%3D4 well this pre-order page pretty much confirms it too

[@weedjuul6519]

+Alek Schlagel Everyone is a weezer fan to some extent

[@carnos420]

More than you can even know! Weezer still rockin strong!

[@MsZsc]

i mean the Pork and Beans music video

[@beesrpoggers1234]

I love weezer, as a newer weezer fan that has a dad that listened to weezer in his 20s it was pretty easy for me to find you guys and fall in love. I love this song because it’s the first one I found by myself and listened to constantly. Keep it up guys.

[@paigester]

what was the first weezer song you listened to?

[@NuMetalMan2491]

Welcome to the club! I been a 20 year Weezer fan. I was listening to Weezer since I was 9 or 10

[@NuMetalMan2491]

And saw them live!

[@lsbestv9557]

I remember sitting in Grade 11 history when I got the noticiation on my phone thst Weezer released a new video. Seeing Blue, Green, Red and then White flash across the screen gave me goosebumps that I still get to this day. This album was the soundtrack of my life for a full summer and I wouldn't give those memories up for anything. I haven't seen my friends I hungout eith that summer in 5 years. We eventually grew apart, I got my heart broken but man. Some of my favourite memories ever were all to the sounds of White. Love this album and I love Weezer until the day I breathe my last breath.

[@epicxboxgamerdawg2078]

This is one of the best songs ever.

[@Mr061099]

I hope the album has this and Do You Wanna Get High's sound

[@EdgarVillarreal1811]

Same Here

[@robertbriones8223]

The track is on the album, and if this is any indication, it is yes.

[@Benjarmon]

Yeah man

[@darkneal]

+Mr061099 Yeah, hopefully Thank God for Girls was just a test to see if we still hated that post maladroit sound. yes, yes we do. And like Do you Wanna get high, this Rocks.

[@gumbyforthewin3537]

+zach rose yeah i like it

[@TyTurner1996]

When I first heard this song on Spotify, I actually thought this was an old song. It gave me an early 2000 feel. I did not know this song came out last year.

[@strawberrycow1390]

this video makes me smile so hard, I would gladly let this man be my king of the world, he's like a toddler in a costume and he's taking his role way too seriously lol

[@EpicuriousGeorge]

With EWBAITE and this, Weezer has officially entered its Renaissance. Long live the King.

[@rootski3473]

Agreed. I actually like all of Weezer's new songs. Even Thank God for Girls! It grows on you. So proud to be a Weezer fan. My generation can enjoy all the Nicki Minaj, Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber they want.

[@NeoKokoro20]

+MultiMagniGladii I would argue that Hurley actually started it. When that came out, it was my favorite since Pinkerton.

[@SnowithVG]

Long live indeed

[@quinnhaak9823]

I remember the first time i ever heard this song, it was in a buffalo wild wings in clearwater, florida. this song reminds me of good memories from the beach

[@elisabeth4901]

I saw this live and it was sick

[@sydshrooms]

[@Eyeinthesky2012]

[@antiusername10]

so good, it gave me a disease

[@johng.3740]

You were sick? What!

[@awfulwaffle1341]

This song is a banger. It deserved a proper music video.

[@NAFProjects]

Yknow when I first heard this song I thought "huh, that's... oddly tasteless to Japanese people" The more I listen, the more confused I got. I mean, there's no real sense of irony, and this album isn't like Pinkerton where we get into the real nitty-gritty of Rivers's thoughts So I looked it up, and... it's about his wife! It's a song written for his wife, after she was going through a hard time. In fact, you can even see Rivers and Kyoko's annotations on the Genius page That's so sweet. I love that so much.

[@Goodday639]

That drum fill shenanigans at 1:28 is great

[@Steveazencho]

They'll Always be my favorite band

[@ScreenTeamShow]

Weezer fans since the earliest days. Really like this new song! Can't wait for the new album!

[@TheCloudsandTheSkies]

I love the use of the "Only In Dreams" Bassline in the bridge. Great little throw back. I was listening to this track after listening to Pinkerton and If the track was produced the same way as Pinkerton it would have fit in nicely. This is a great Weezer track

[@marksme]

Weezer always does a good job keeping up with the times and current with their music.

[@artisan_partisan]

I love the subtle flashing through all the previous self titled colors at the beginning. So hype for this album.

[@ajdoms4]

It's just so awesome that his voice seems like they never get old, unfortunately unlike Blink-182, who sounds soooooo different in every way.

[@mrseaweed88]

All members of Weezer have aged amazingly

[@LygarZro]

What I loved about this song is that it sounds like it was recorded back in the blue album days and yet it still feels fresh. I'm hoping that the new white album continues to bring back a lot of the sound that Weezer fans grew up with. EWBARITE was great and loved how they went back to their beginning and made a huge difference.

[@estudiosfolkloreiberoamericano]

Their last album is awesome, like the past album. This band is just catchy as hell.

[@Anglynn74]

bought the blue album when it came out, back then big time college rock played on many college radio stations, loved that album, played it from front to back all the time. this song reminds me a lot of that album.

[@Parsignia]

I haven't been hyped for a Weezer album in over a decade. Everything good, and all of the lead singles for this have been amazing. Please don't let me down, guys.

[@madeleineamestoy2507]

weezer. you have been something i keep coming back to. thank you for centring my thoughts. you have been the most influential band when it comes to me being me.

[@nutbustulon]

I hope I'm not the only one that imagined Weezer riding a giant dog on the ocean the first time listening to this

I been a Weezer fan since the Green album and then made my way around the catalog because I was born in 91. By far one of the most consistently clutch rock bands of all time!

[@TheRobMentality]

those color flashes in the beginning was nostalgia in just a few seconds

[@thomass.5269]

love the flash of blue, red, green, white at the beginning.. all the self titled albums

[@alfonsocabrera801]

Verse 1] You walk by the magazines Sitting on the rack at the CVS One more sad movie star divorce Three hundred died in an airplane wreck And you think of all the people suffering And you bury that pain But you can tell me everything And we’ll ride on that wave [Chorus] If I was king of the world You’d be my girl You wouldn’t have to shed one single tear Unless you wanted to ‘Cause yeah I know what it’s like If I was king of the world Yeah, girl We could ride a Greyhound all the way to the Galapagos And stay for the rest of our lives(ooohh ohhhh ohhhh ohhh) [Verse 2] Dad hit you on the hand Just for holding your chopsticks wrong Then your Mom locked you in a shed And Uncle Sam dropped an atom bomb But you’re not alone You can let it go And just weep on my breast And cover me with your tenderness And that pain will pass [Chorus] If I was king of the world You’d be my girl You wouldn’t have to shed one single tear Unless you wanted ‘Cause yeah I know what it’s like If I was king of the world Yeah, girl We could ride a Greyhound all the way to the Galapagos And stay for the rest of our lives(ooohh ohhhh ohhhh ohhh) [Bridge] We are the small fish We swim together(ohh) No Prozac or Valium We’ll face tsunamis together [Chorus] If I was king of the world You’d be my girl You wouldn’t have to shed one single tear Unless you wanted to ‘Cause yeah I know what it’s like If I was king of the world Yeah, girl We could ride a greyhound all the way to the Galapagos And stay for the rest of our lives(ooohh ohhhh ohhhh ohhh)

[@UndertaleFan-cx2mc]

The flash of the album covers at the beginning really did it for me

[@Mackenzy217]

This is such a sweet song. Mad respect to Rivers. Good job man. Great context; great sound; great song.

[@mauswaffles]

[@adamJKpunk]

[@keatonmalone6841]

Zackscott it's cool to see that a youtuber has great choice in bands. I started to listen to weezer in 2015, and already I've found them to be my favorite band.

[@ShadowClaw36i]

I've listened to this song about 10 times now. This song is really great. I'm so happy.

[@joshdiamond1624]

I love this classic weezer sound that after all this time I think they are really starting to get back. The most recent 3 singles all sound right out of the blue-Pinkerton era and I love it.

[@Gurkmassa]

From 2:18 it pretty much sounds like "Only in dreams" :D

[@thevideogamefreak8961]

This song kicks ass still in 2020

[@ShaneBarbera]

This song is amazing!! I can't get enough; listened to it like 5 times on repeat already.

[@bthonk]

[@raphaelfosforo]

Just saw Panic! At The Disco and Weezer in concert last night at the USANA Amphitheatre and this is one of the songs that they played. They're so good!

[@ClassyAntiVenom]

This sounds like a continuation of the story from Across the Sea I like it. No, I love it. =w=

[@weedjuul6519]

+FreshPrinceofSoCal Listen to "I Just Through Out the Love of my Dreams". It's a Pinkerton b-side and it could be interpreted as the girl from Across the Sea's side of the story.

[@ClassyAntiVenom]

+Phil Fox Whoa that was a damn good song! I need to start finding more b-sides lol I was surprised to hear a woman's voice. It does sound like her side of the story what with the whole "my love is a world away" line.

[@piplup1121]

+Phil Fox IJTOTLOMD is actually one of the tracks from the abandoned album Songs from the Black Hole, which would of been Weezer's second album had it not been cancelled. I dunno if you know about it or not but it was supposed to be a space opera concept album to express Rivers' feelings of becoming a rock star to becoming a spaceship captain.

[@weedjuul6519]

Yeah I actually have the version that was put together online. But who knows, maybe Rivers' whole experience with the girl from Across the Sea could have inspired that part of the Song's from the Black Hole story line.piplup1121
