This cover sits at the great middle ground between “making it our own” and “being true to the original”

[cidhobbs]

THEY KEEP THE INTEGRITY OF EACH COVER BUT STILL SOUND LIKE WEEZER!!!! I LOVE IT!!

[hadeed-_-]

This is like heaven for someone who already liked the original songs.

[AdamSmithNES]

I remember reading in some interview with Rivers that he always wanted his vocals to be understandable. I think that stands really true in all the covers weezer has done, and I appreciate that.

[Nightwaterproject]

Weezer is the newest cover band in town Next album they cover will be of themselves.

[shaunvet]

I think these Weezer covers are perfect balance of being a great cover themselves and showing the genius of the original.

[CandyHatsuneWolff]

Dear Weezer,

Thank you.

Love,
Generation X

[thepedigree]

its such a melancholy song; uplifting and depressing at the same time. its duality is presented as a singularity. one of the best songs that captures the emo-meta of the 80s. young and wise at the same time. can't stop thinking about this song.

So are weezers the cool uncles your parents don't want you to be around?

[Lyrics]
Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep 
We will find You acting on your best behavior
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to rule the world

It's my own design
It's my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the most Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do, I'll be right behind you
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world

I can't stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world

Say that you'll never, never, never, need it
One headline, why believe it?
Everybody wants to rule the world

All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

This dad will be rocking the white New Balances and Sony headphones to this at the grill

[chaddexter]

Maybe I'm just old school but this is the best version I've heard. Weezer does a great job of staying true to the original.

[radionowhere]

Ever since I was a little kid, I always associated this song with the movie "Real Genius". Both bring a smile to my face.

[DJNurseAnnabella]

Everyone's more crazy about the Africa cover, but this is definitely the best song of Teal. I always daydream Kurt Cobain covering this, but this is pretty close.

[joelnert]

I never thought this song could get any better. What an incredible homage to Tears For Fears! This is simply amazing.

[Benzer]

You know 80's music was epic when a band decides to do an entire album of covers. I shall give it a listen and see, but I'm old enough to remember the originals.

[RobOzburn]

This is their best cover on the Teal Album. Perfect groove, vocal range, and some nice tweaks to make the song their own while staying true to the original feel.

[ArtGuitarLTX]

It’s like… I was born in 84… starters guitar in 94… lives the 80s metal/rock/ pop stuff… and my fav band covers it almost 30 years later… 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🍻🍻
