I'm a Believer

"I'm a Believer" is a song written by Neil Diamond and originally performed by The Monkees in 1966. Weezer covered the song for the 2010 film Shrek Forever After.
==Overview==
The song is featured at the end of the film Shrek Forever After. The original Shrek film ended with a cover of the same song performed by the band Smash Mouth. The track is preceded on the soundtrack CD by a short interstitial track titled "Wheezer Wig", featuring the character from the film, Rumpelstiltskin (voiced by actor Walt Dohrn).
Weezer's cover of "I'm a Believer" was recorded after Rivers Cuomo was involved in a bus crash in December of 2009, leading to uncertainty as to whether the band would be able to record the cover. The supervisor in charge of the Shrek soundtrack then reached out to the band Vampire Weekend, but frontman Ezra Koenig "refused to capitalize on Weezer's misfortune."Strauss, Matthew.

==Lyrics==
I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love, I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried
I thought love was more or less a givin' thing
Seems the more I gave the less I got
What's the use in tryin'?
All you get is pain
When I needed sunshine I got rain
Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love, I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love, I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried
Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
And I'm a believer yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm a believer

You say "Take it now"
And I tried to take it then
But you wouldn't give me anything
And I'm alone again
You said "Just kisses"
And I tried to kiss your breast
You wouldn't give me anything
And I'm alone again
I'm on fire, you're a liar
You look like a slut
Baby, you're a liar
You don't know what you do to me
When you touch and then let go of me
You ask me if I'm scared
The truth is you're scared
I told you before
I like to be nervous
Yeah, I'm on fire, you're a liar
You look like a slut
Baby, you're a liar
You don't know what you do to me

And I was like, what the fuck
It's easy to take it easy
Choose the road that everybody else is takin'
But we're climbin' the highest mountain
And we might not ever make it back to tell 'em
It's like we got a disease
Nobody listens to me
Some day I'm gonna explode
And finally lighten my load
I can never give up
I'm still living the dream
Won't you open the door
And come with me, cause
Hey there, sugar, I'm on the outside
Hey, sugar, long way to go
Hey there, sugar, I'm on the outside
All alone
After all of these years
I am still a babe in swaddling clothes ???
I can't ...listens to me
Someday, I'm gonna explode
And finally lighten my load
I can never give up
I'm still living the dream
Won't you open the door
And come...
Hey, sugar, I'm on the outside
Hey, sugar, long way to go
Hey, sugar, I'm on the outside

"I'm with You Sister" is the first track on a promotional single created by the record label Loosegroove Records in promotion for a potential US release of the same album.

I've been had
Had by my famous friend who always laughs
She says that she feels so trapped
When I'm around her
Lay in her bed
Listen to the stereo and feel so sad
Think of all the reasons that this has to end,
Why things never last
I've been sad
I've been had
She says I'm too sweet
This is the reason she can't be with me
Made myself too available, it seems
Maybe I should be more bad
I've been sad
I've been had
At the most
It's been five days, on-and-off, for us
I guess I just should have known
It'd be just like the past
I've been sad
I've been had

Don't want to find myself homogenized
Don't want to become the very thing that I despised
Don't need my mommy feeding me culture with a spoon
Don't wanna end up with as much edge as a balloon
Don't want my ideas polluted by mediocrity
Don't want my sentiments diluted
This is important to me
I tried to give my best to you
But you plugged up your ears
And now I just can't take no more
I've had it up to here
Don't wanna be another boy next door
Don't wanna pander to the masses anymore
Don't need the whole wide world to love me
Don't want to win the human race
Don't want my music to be less well-known than my face
Don't wanna compromise my art for universal appeal
Don't wanna be mass comsumed
I'm not a Happy Meal
I tried to give my best to you
But you plugged up your ears
And now I just can't take no more
I've had it up to here
I moved out from the sticks
Nobody believed in me
Had to claw my way up
Overcome all kinds of adversities
Oh, if you think I need approval
From the faceless throng
Whoa, that's where you're wrong
So wrong
I tried to give my best to you
But you plugged up your ears
And now I just can't take no more
I've had it up to here (I've had it)

I've had it up to here

IRock: Interview with Brian Bell - May 3, 2021

The following interview has been translated from Spanish.
Original article: https://www.irock.cl/entrevista-brian-bell-weezer/
-----
Weezer is a band from L.A., California, formed in the mid 90s, known for having a versatile and unique sound in the world of alternative rock. Their hits “Buddy Holly”, “Undone (The Sweater Song)”, “Say It Ain’t So”, and many more, have been played around the world for decades.
They published their 14th album “Ok Human” at the start of the year, an orchestral pop rock album that immediately got into playlists, and as if that wasn’t enough, they’re about to release new material, mostly recorded during the pandemic. The hyped hair metal tribute “Van Weezer” is coming out on May 7, which already had some songs released, like “Hero”, “Beginning of the End” in 2020, and “End of the Game” in 2019. There’s also a fragment of “Blue Dream” that was played on an episode of The Simpsons last year. With some obvious inspiration by Kiss, Van Halen, Black Sabath, Rush, Metallica and Slayer, this seems to be one of the more promising releases in the north american country.
We talked to Brian Bell, rhythm guitarist in Weezer since 1993, who talked to us about this new release.
==Interview==
We’re anxiously waiting for new Weezer material, which will come out in May of this year through streaming platforms. Meanwhile, here’s the latest single from the album, titled “I Need Some of That”, that came out less than a week ago.

===Appearances===
*Alone XII: The White Year (2020)
==Overview==
"I Can't Find the Words" is a demo recorded by Rivers Cuomo in 2015. The song's bridge is repurposed from the demo "Real Life Friend". In November of 2020, in the weeks prior to the launch of the demo bundle storefront on riverscuomo.com, hundreds of MP3 filenames on Cuomo's computer were listed as dummy data on the then-unfinished web store.

==Lyrics==
Sifting through the garbage mound
I wanna go back home, but the power is out
The concierge can't help me now
I'm lonely
Switching into airplane mode
Too afraid to ask for the bathroom code
Walking down this dusty road
I'm burning, I'm burning
I can't find the words
To tell you how I feel
But we don't have to talk about anything
I can't find the words
Or phrases fit for a queen
So I just want to look into your eyes
One notebook for everything
I don't wanna let down the family
Got to keep the name clean
I'm lonely, I'm lonely
I can't find the words
To tell you how I feel
So we don't have to talk about anything
I can't find the words
Or phrases fit for a queen
So I just want to look into your eyes
What I need is a real life friend
Someone natural and authentic
Can we both just let our guards down?
Can I show you?
Will you be my real life friend
I can't find the words
To tell you how I feel
But we don't have to talk about anything
I can't find the words
Or phrases fit for a queen
So I just want to look into your eyes

Believe, I believe
Every time I build the castle
High upon the shore it happens again

Here she comes, here he comes
Here I come, closer and closer
Crash and come down

Crash and come down
I can't forget the way
I can't forget the way
I can't forget the way
I can't forget
Every time I'm sure I'm right
I'm wrong and then I'm wrong, wrong again
That's what I get when I pretend
Walls of sand will keep out
Keep out the waves

Bring down the walls above us
Pull me closer
