Weezer's Cuomo heading back to Harvard
By Jonathan Cohen Wed Oct 26, 2:49 AM ET
NEW YORK (Billboard) - Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo is heading back to Harvard University in February, with plans to graduate in June with a degree in English, according to a recent chat session on AOL Music.
Cuomo returned to Harvard at the beginning of the year after an eight-year-hiatus, but has spent the bulk of 2005 recording and touring in support of Weezer's latest Geffen album, "Make Believe."
The group is winding down its fall outing with Foo Fighters, after which it will play seven shows in Japan through December 22 in Tokyo. It is unclear if there will be any activity in the Weezer camp next year while Cuomo is back at school.
During the chat, Cuomo revealed further details about his devotion to meditation as well as his vow of celibacy, which he began June 13, 2003.
"I decided to try celibacy because I heard it would help the meditation, and I tried meditation because I heard it would help with the music," he said. "So, it all really comes back to the music.
"Listen to 'Make Believe' and compare it to the previous album, 'Maladroit,"' he continued. "I know I can hear a difference in my singing. My voice just sounds much more sensitive and dynamic now. I also notice a difference in the lyrics. I'm much more open and communicative about my emotions now."
Cuomo said he believes his own personal transformation has rubbed off on the other members of Weezer.
"You might wonder what my meditation practice has to do with the other members' contributions, but I think my meditation has allowed me to be a better collaborator in the studio," he said. "I don't have so much fear that I won't get my way. I don't have so much anger if people have opposing opinions and generally I'm much more happy and comfortable in collaborative situations. So I think the guys finally got an opportunity to really shine on this album."
"Make Believe," boosted by the singles "Beverly Hills" and "We Are All On Drugs," has shifted 790,000 copies in the United States since its May release, according to Nielsen SoundScan, a significant improvement over 2002's "Maladroit," which has sold 590,000 to date.

*Analog Horizons
==Overview==
This song would later become "Fight the Darkness" off of "Ozma's" "Pasadena."
==Lyrics==
To prevent a fire
Burn your dreams with insight
Tear off your cloak
And throw it in the street
Someone could use it any way
There's a cross above your head
And a basket for each of your two children
They won't cross the bridge alone
Ropes to guide them
Number fifteen in a series barefoot and weary
Watching and leering the sky is black beyond a shiny hair
But you deserve to know
How far your money can go
But you deserve to know
How far your money can go 
Come ye old and come ye young
Welcome welcome everyone
Tick Tock Tick Tock
But you deserve to know
How far your money can go
But you deserve to know
How far your money can go
Goodbye everyone and I hope you enjoyed the show
Ye all come back now ye hear, and don't get hit by cars

==Background==
Yeezer was based on a joke by a friend of Hodowanec's, who blurted out the title. He started work on the album a few years before its release, and only finished it in the fall of 2015."Download ‘Yeezer’: A Kanye West and Weezer Mashup Album". Radio.com.

Yellow Camaro

"Yellow Camaro" is the fourth track on The End of Imagining, the debut album by Brian Bell's side project the Space Twins. It was previously recorded by Weezer, but not released until 2010 as a bonus track on the Japanese version of Death to False Metal.
==Overview==
"Yellow Camaro" was written by Weezer guitarist Brian Bell. Following the recording of Weezer's fourth album, Maladroit, the band immediately began work on a fifth. These recording sessions produced what are colloquially known as the "album 5 demos," and include songwriting contributions by members of the band other than frontman Rivers Cuomo. "Yellow Camaro" was attempted in various studios beginning in late winter and continuing throughout the summer of 2002, though all songs from these sessions were, ultimately, scrapped. The song was performed live a handful of times in March and May of 2002.
"Yellow Camaro" was revisited by Bell the following year for The End of Imagining, an album by his Space Twins side-project.
A 2002 take of the song appeared as a Japanese bonus track to Weezer's 2010 compilation album Death To False Metal. This version contains a few minor overdubs not present on the previously heard mixes from 2002, including a short synth part before the chorus.

Yes Dear

Yes Dear was a project that Ozma members Ryen Slegr and Jose Galvez helped form after Ozma split in late 2004.
==Overview==
The former Ozma members were joined by Nate Greely from Arlo and Jeremiah James from Teen Heroes to help with the project. Only 1 CD and a handful of demos were ever released by the band. Once Ozma reformed in 2006, Yes Dear announced that Ryen and Jose would be leaving the band to work on Ozma full time. In their stead, Shmedly would join to play bass for them. After almost a year of dormancy after announcing its initial lineup change, it was announced that the band would be reforming again with two new members only referred to by their first names, Simon and Whitney. While the band never formally announced the end of this project, all members involved have moved on to do different things.

Yes You Can

"Yes You Can" is a song written by Jason Cropper.
==Overview==
On September 10, 2020, Cropper performed the song publicly for the first time during a "Golden Hour" stream to his followers on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube .
==Lyrics==
Well, I'm thinking about beginning
Just about the time it seems the world might end
Playing songs for my dinner
Singing in the telephones for friends
Well, you've all been so very human
Congratulations on our best-laid plans
And I love you all forever,
Even those of you hiding your blood-stained hands
And when you find yourself alone
No one for loving, no one home
Just hold on, take my hand
Yes you can
Well, let's wish upon a happy ending
Just about the time the world's gonna bleed
I missed the boat so many times
Sleeping in to catch up on my dreams
I've seen two ravens fly a prophecy
In the sun dawned by the springtide of your love
And I prayed to Jesus, prayed to Buddha
To put in a good word for us somewhere high above
And while birds and bees will play and feed their children
I just pray that you'll forgive
That time that we chose grief instead of love
'Cause we were too afraid to live
And when you find yourself alone
No one is left for loving, and there's no one home
Just reach out and take my hand
Yes you can
You can
And while birds and bees will pray and love their children
I just pray to understand
Just how greed became a virtue
Poisoning all the love in this sweet land
Many years from now, when my name is called
And my days are over, the problem solved
Just reach out and take my hand
Yes you can
Just reach out and take my hand
Yes you can
Yes you can

Yngwie Malmsteen

Yngwie Malmsteen is a swedish metal guitarist. Born on June 30, 1963 as Lars Johan Yngve Lannerbäck, he went on to pioneer the heavy metal subgenre, becoming well known in these circles for his neoclassical style of playing.

A poster of Malmsteen can be seen on Cuomo's wall in the Alone II booklet, alongside other posters of artists he has considered to be influential. Cuomo has also admitted that he used to play in a Malmsteen cover band in high school.Kandell, S. (2006). Dear Superstar: Rivers Cuomo. Blender. https://www.weezerpedia.com/wiki/Blender_interview_with_Rivers_Cuomo_-_Jan/Feb_2006. In an interview with Guitar.com, Cuomo states he moved to Los Angeles in 1988 "with the intention of becoming a huge rock star who played Yngvie Malmsteen type music."St. James, A. (2005, September 15). The Pretender; Weezer's Rivers Cuomo. Guitar.com. https://www.weezerpedia.com/wiki/Guitar.com_interview_with_Rivers_Cuomo_-_September_15,_2005. 
Cuomo has stated in an interview on The Howard Stern Show that the Pinkerton map on the CD tray includes the names of those who influenced him during the recording of the album. One of the names featured is Malmsteen's.
Cuomo appears wearing an Yngwie Malmsteen t-shirt on the cover of Guitar World Magazine in 2002.
During a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" done in promotion of the 2014 album Everything Will Be Alright in the End, Cuomo was asked about what his favourite Malmsteen song was, to which he replied "Far Beyond the Sun".rivercuomo.

Malmsteen is also mentioned by name in a demo for the 2015 fan club single "Everybody Needs Salvation".
In an interview with Michael Astley-Brown of Guitar World Magazine, Cuomo talked about how when they were recording The Blue Album he would play "some Yngwie Malmsteen shit" that would impress Ric Ocasek, but that this style of playing was never put into tape until Van Weezer.Astley-Brown, M.

Its not about the perfect Roman nose
Let me tell you you're beautiful to me

Let me tell you you're beautiful to me

Whatever doubts you have
Whatever pain you have

I'm just in awe of you
Could look at you the whole day through
You're such a cutie pie
Stay right here in my eye

And the evil dreams will torment you
But you can do whatever you want to do
Made it as the president of the United States
Girl, you're gonna be a star someday
Border flying 'round in airplanes
I have to get used to you going away
'Cause girl, you're gonna be a star someday
I was just texting making sure you're okay
Dear little sister, don't be afraid
There'd be no river without the rain
Girl, you're gonna be a star someday
