==Lyrics==
High above is a plastic dove
Watch it fly above the pure synthetic ocean
Daydream tides moving in slow motion
I’m away on a holiday
I downloaded an exotic location
Met her on my virtual vacation
I’m in love (what?) with a machine
I know it is hard to believe
But, the machine is into me
I’m in love with a machine
They took a peek of my search history
They made her a composite of what I’d been browsing
Programmed to be perfectly arousing
It’s hard to say what is real or fake (fake, fake, fake)
Are these her feelings or just approximations?
Triggered to get the right vibrations
I’m in love (what?) with a machine
I know it is hard to believe
But, the machine is into me
I’m in love with a machine
I’m in love with android; I fell in love with android
Yes, I’m in love with android; I fell in love with android
I’m in love (what?) with a machine
I know it is hard to believe
But, the machine is into me
I’m in love with a machine

Mad Kow

"Mad Kow" is a song by Weezer. The band demoed and performed the song live in the summer of 2000 and again in the spring/summer of 2002.
===Appearances===
*Released online
*Video Capture Device (2004)
==Overview==
"Mad Kow" was first documented in July of 2000,Weezer Recording History - Page 12 with the band recording demos to a DA-88 at Cole Rehearsals in Los Angeles.Rivers Cuomo. The Catalog O' Riffs. 2002. http://weezerpedia.com/catalogofriffs.html The band performed the song live throughout the remainder of that summer. The song did not make the cut for the band's subsequent album (Weezer's eponymous Green Album), but appeared on a semi-official Summer Songs 2000 "album" distributed by Rivers Cuomo to fans in November of 2001.
"Mad Kow" was revived in March of 2002 during early demo sessions at Westlake Recording Studios in West Hollywood for the band's already-planned fifth album (before their fourth, Maladroit, had even been released). The band subsequently performed the song live at a few shows during that same month. The band continued work on it that summer, with one version featuring piano by session musician Ryan "Shmedly" Maynes. The song was ultimately retired thereafter. An acoustic rehearsal, as well as a clip from a soundcheck—both filmed in 2002—appeared on the 2004 DVD Video Capture Device. Rivers Cuomo also played the song during a session on the video streaming platform Ustream on August 6, 2011.

===2002===
I'm watching and waiting
I'm disintegrating
I know that you'd hear me
If you could come near me
But no one can save me now
I'm lost, just like a cow
Madness burning inside my brain
I'm falling to pieces
I'm breaking my leases
And moving to some place
I'll live in disgrace
But no one can save me now
I'm lost, just like a cow
Madness burning inside my brain
My brain
I know that you'd hear me
If you could come near me
But no one can save me now
I'm lost, just like a cow
Madness burning inside my brain
My brain
I'm falling

Madama Butterfly

Madama Butterfly is an opera in three acts (originally two acts) by Giacomo Puccini, with an Italian libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa. Puccini based his opera in part on the short story Madame Butterfly (1898) by John Luther Long, which was dramatized by David Belasco. Puccini also based it on the novel Madame Chrysanthème (1887) by Pierre Loti. This opera inspired Rivers Cuomo during the composition of Pinkerton, which features a directly-inspired song titled "Butterfly". Cuomo also named the album after Madama Butterfly primary character, B.F. Pinkerton. The song "El Scorcho" directly references the play's plot ("listening to Cio-Cio-san fall in love all over again").

I've dreamed of a night like this
Filled with your sweet caress
Hidden places only for
You and I
Then kindness took me by the hand
And showed me how to understand
All the feelings that I'd had
Deep inside
When you whispered next to me
Your tender touch set my feelings free
Magic
In your eyes
Magic
Took me by surprise
Then still amazed I touched your lips
With disbelieving fingertips
All I wanted came to me
In your smile
Will you stay with me tonight
Your every move fills me with delight
Magic
In your eyes
Magic
Took me by surprise
Then you kissed me and I know
That all the feelings lead me right back to the
Magic
In your eyes
Magic
Took me by surprise

Magic Spark

"Magic Spark" is a song written by Jason Cropper.
==Overview==
On July 3, 2020, Cropper performed the song during a virtual concert streamed from a studio in Oakland, California. 
==Lyrics==
What would you do if a wizard said to you
You will create your present from the future
He says the best is yet to come
We're gonna have a lot of fun
Then we're gonna do something better
What happened to you
Is, of course, all true
What you'd rather seems an impossible dream
But I know a way to make magic today
Your imagination is the answer
Everything goes on
You will be the light
You're a magic spark
Floating in our hearts
What would you say
If a witch told you to pray
To imagine the life you've always wanted
Well, you could be your best self
You don't have to be someone else
Because the future and the present just coincided
What happened to you
Is, of course, all true
What you'd rather seems an impossible dream
But I know a way to make magic today
Your imagination is the answer
Everything goes on
You will be the light
You're a magic spark
Floating in our hearts
'Cause you were born to be
Life's best mystery
You're a magic, floating spark
Illuminating dark
Everything goes on
You will be the light
You're a magic spark
Floating in our hearts

Make Believe Blender record review

It ain’t easy being Weezy. Eleven years ago, Rivers Cuomo was the horn-rimmed face of alternative rock. His band charmed a nation with cranked guitars, candy-coated hooks and oblique mallspeak, riffing on suburban malcontents in hits like “Undone (The Sweater Song)” and “Buddy Holly.” Then Cuomo began a life course 180 degrees off any known rock-star trajectory.
He attended Harvard (thus the references to girl cellists on sophomore CD Pinkerton), then started a journey into celibacy, Buddhist meditation and facial hair. Subsequent albums cemented Weezer’s reputation as the Monsters of Emo, even as Cuomo became increasingly estranged. Their latest is the work of a deep, spiritual man whose quest for peace makes for less than rockin’ songs.
While the single “Beverly Hills” is solid if rote Weezer—an outsider anthem primed for Spike Jonze or the Gap’s in-store playlist—most songs seem to have been stripped down to some Platonic ideal of honest communication, as if Cuomo’s vow of abstinence included wit, irony and humor. Utter certain phrases to a person and they may hug you; sing them, and the effect isn’t so charming. “You’re my best friend and I love you.” “I’m going to try to improve my manners.” To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, only the stoniest heart can hear these lyrics without laughing.
These New Wave–tinged, Rick Rubin–produced songs are often diabolically catchy—as in the just-say-no jam “We Are All on Drugs”—or drop-dead gorgeous. The heroic singing and descending chords on “Pardon Me” manage to turn an offhand pleasantry into a prostrate plea for forgiveness. But in striving for Zen-like purity, the songs often end up eerily blank. The author of 1994’s passive-aggressive Beach Boys update “Surf Wax America” (“I’m going surfing ’cause I don’t like your face”) may have entered his Brian Wilson, I’m-afraid-to-leave-my-room phase. “Man, you really freaked me out,” he sings near the album’s end. “I’m so afraid of you.” The feeling’s mutual.

Make Believe E! Online record review

It must be hard for Weezer to make an album without sounding like a Weezer cover band. You can hear them struggling on Make Believe to keep fans bouncing along to the power-pop anthems but also keep it interesting for themselves so frontman Rivers Cuomo won't put the whole thing on hiatus again. The mediocre rap of "Beverly Hills" finds them falling into the same geeky "we can't understand our own popularity" role, but they strike decent middle ground elsewhere. The Ben Folds-esque "Perfect Situation," rockin' stomp of "My Best Friend" and '80s-inspired "This Is Such a Pity" are their best shots, with Cuomo penning concise, exposed and even apologetic lyrics. Make Believe proves that (at least half of the time) Weezer doesn't have to play Weezer all the time.

Make Believe NME record review

Rivers Cuomo, the bespectacled genius behind Weezer’s finest moments, is a man so enigmatic he makes Roman Abramovich look like Donny Osmond. Over the years he has flirted with commercial suicide, become a recluse, a visitor of massage parlours, has painted the walls of his room black, disconnected his phone for a whole year, studied at Harvard, fallen out with everyone in the music business and somehow released four compelling albums as songwriter and frontman of the world’s most dysfunctional band. Oh, and on the eve of the release of ‘Make Believe’, Weezer’s fifth album and first for more than three years, Rivers Cuomo has disappeared entirely. In place of the usual promotion and press campaign we have rumours of hotel rooms, illegal substances and women in states of undress…Sounds like a laugh, doesn’t it?
It’s always been something of a surprise that amid all this turmoil and struggle Weezer have released music that could hardly sound any more carefree were it to come with a free ride in a hot air balloon. The same sense of soaring genius, of pop immortality, is occasionally in residence on ‘Make Believe’. First single ‘Beverly Hills’ is touchingly odd and strangely addictive, familiar melodies and rhythms wrapped in original packaging. ‘The Other Way’ and ‘Perfect Situation’ are also songs that only Weezer could have written, and remind those who care why it’s still worth getting excited about new music from this band.
Only thing is, there just isn’t enough of this stuff on here. Too much of ‘Make Believe’ is unremarkable and restrained when Weezer are usually the exact opposite. Cuomo is probably incapable of writing a song, but here he has stab at penning a batch that aren’t particularly great. ‘We Are All On Drugs’ is more aspirin than ecstasy while ‘Pardon Me’ – an apology to everyone Rivers has wronged (which by rights should make it longer than Moby Dick) is just literal and lifeless. All of which makes you wonder what the hell Weezer have been up to in all this time away? Far from the unpredictable genius of old, it seems that Rivers Cuomo has returned lacking both edge and sparkle.

Make Believe Rolling Stone record review

Oh, the suspense of a new Weezer album. Is Rivers Cuomo still one messed-up little rock auteur? Will he write a batch of crunchy pop-punk gems, reporting from his tortured private world about the fun he imagines the rest of us are having? Will he ever find true love? On Make Believe, the answers are yes, yes, and wake the fuck up. Make Believe is a breakthrough for Weezer, a bold step into the world of the two-word album title, with twelve songs running 45:15, positively epic by their standards. But most important, Cuomo’s songs are his most plaintive and brilliant since Pinkerton, with couplets such as “I may not be a perfect soul/But I can learn self-control” narrating the latest kinks of his journey into full-fledged humanhood. Not since Brian Wilson has an L.A.-pop mastermind gotten such musical mileage out of wanting to be an ordinary guy, not realizing that his psychosexual freakitude is exactly what makes him one.
Make Believe kicks off with “Beverly Hills,” the single that revisits the dork narrator of old Weezer songs like “My Name Is Jonas,” ten years older but no wiser, graduating from comic books and twelve-sided dice to watching the E! channel. It’s a thunderous tune, with an awesomely terrible 1970s wah-wah solo that must have been sampled from Jeff “Skunk” Baxter. The sad love songs that follow — “We Are All on Drugs,” “Hold Me” — build on self-loathing hooks (“I know that I can be the meanest person in the world”) and huge pop flourishes. The best is “Pardon Me.” It sure is weird to hear Cuomo go back to his old “Buddy Holly” voice, summoning up all his strength to belt, “I apologize to you/And to anyone else that I hurt too.” Um, Rivers, is this a twelve-step thing? Nobody’s mad at you, honest. In fact, after listening to Make Believe, we love you more than evs.

Make Believe The Guardian record review

Weezer have been off the scene for a while because front man Rivers Cuomo has been studying at Harvard, taking time out "to be a good person". In the meantime, their studied nerd-rock has taken something of an assault from sound-similar bands such as McFly and Busted who are actually, well, nerdish. Weezer's reply has been to up the sarcasm and wit to emphasise that much of what they do is at least heavily ironic. Lead-off single Beverley Hills manages to lambast both airhead ambition and the class system. The cheekily hilarious We Are All on Drugs snipes at dim-witted sophisticates who think loading up on narcotics and then telling everybody about it is such fun.
Elsewhere, there are familiar Weezer trademarks such as handclaps, bad cardigans, buzzsaw guitars, horn-rimmed glasses and at least one immaculate pastiche of Joan Jett's I Love Rock'n'Roll. Most curiously, a chunk of almost straight-faced love/self-doubt songs show that while these geeks may not inherit the earth, they can play their competitors at their own game.
