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.

Even when they specified they wanted no sweaters, everyone pitched sweaters to them like "I do what I want, I do what I want!" Also, the video is one continuous shot, they did 25 takes, and this was between takes 15 and 20 somewhere, & they were sick of doing it over and over and starting to get goofy. The drummer especially because he was coming to terms with one of the dogs shitting on his bass drum pedal right before.

For Sho Sho

[@VEHICLEFAN5500]

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.

[@karolisdervinis4236]

it only has one meaning. The literal meaning. If you pull on a thread of a sweater, the sweater will unravel.

[@EvilPeppermintHelix]

Karolis Dervinis not neccesarily. You can always try looking at things symbolically I.E 'his sweater' what he puts on to cover himself in this case could be talking about his true self vs what he pretends to be to others so when he becomes undone when the thread is pulled could be symbolic for walking away from the sweater a.k.a the false self until its gone. A journey inward.

[@karolisdervinis4236]

I JUST NOW realized Rivers is wearing a soccer jersey. The story behind it is that, when he was 20, Rivers went to Veracruz with very little money. When he arrived, a small boy - around 10 or 11 years old - let him stay at his parents' house. The family didn't have much money either but still gave him food, shelter, and care. After a few days, Rivers was about to leave when the boy gave him the jersey of Los Tiburones Rojos del Veracruz (the Red Sharks of Veracruz). It was the boys favorite soccer team but he liked Rivers so much that he decided to give him the jersey. Ever since then, Rivers has kept the jersey and most recently, in 2014, wore it when they were in Mexico while they played this song, "Undone - The Seawater Song".

😂 I just read this in an article I searched up because this song popped up on the radio and I was like why is sanitarium in a different tuning what is this, then I realize it’s fucking weezer lmaoo. > “‘The Sweater Song’ was the first Weezer song I ever wrote, back in 1991,” Cuomo says. “I was trying to write a Velvet Underground-type song because I was super into them, and I came up with that guitar riff. I just picked up that acoustic guitar and the first thing I played was that riff. And it just feels so classic to me, even now when the band starts to play it, it just takes over the energy in the room and you’re just transported into the world of Weezer. It wasn’t until years after I wrote it that I realized it’s almost a complete rip-off of ‘Sanitarium’ by Metallica. But wow I really like it actually given it a full listen.

They actually ARE playing their instruments though. They filmed this video while the band was playing to a sped up version of the song, and when they slowed it down, it gave the illusion that they were playing at the right tempo, just moving in slow motion. I learned about it in a video production class I took a couple years ago.

[@critlangford7410]

he's literally using 1 hand to play guitar towards the end...

[@damienman25]

He means they aren't trying to match the recordings. This video was filmed around 25 times or so, and after like the 13th Weezer gave up on trying to perfectly match the recording and started screwing around. They're technically "playing" at the right tempo but at certain points you can tell that they aren't hitting the right spots in the video, Pat starts drumming the air, Matt straight stops playing several times and even sits down once to bob his head to the music, Brian occasionally only strums half the notes, Rivers plays with one hand...it's all an observation of the casual flippancy of the video. They don't try to be professionals, they're just goofing around. I think out of the 25 or so recordings they did they settled on recording 17, 18, 19 or 20.
