This is one of the **best** Weezer songs that I have ever heard, and it's so underappreciated! Too bad not many people know about this song, because I think it's beautiful.
nomakeup First verse is soft: check, 1st chorus is heavy and hits hard:check, 2nd verse follows up the chorus being softer than it but also being harder than the 1st verse:check, Bridge leading to guitar leading into mixed up chorus: check. Holy crap you're right
My goodness if this would have been on Everything Will Be Alright in the End it would be even harder for me to say that album doesn't tie Pinkerton and Blue for me. The bridge lyrics are in the booklet after The British Are Coming so I like to imagine that is where it would have been on the album. Such a great comeback for Weezer!
Monster Mash green is consistent with every track being great. This album was alright with some standout tracks. Man if this song and the others were as good as this is would be better than blue and Pinkerton
i dont know if you guys know how hard it is to sing 2:04 - 2:26 ?1?!?!?! Try it yourself and try to have as smooth as a transition in the line "of the dark". I admire Rivers to even be able to RECORD something that smooth and physically breathtaking. I wish he would sing this live though
I've lost myself in all the Weezer B-Sides and unreleased tracks lately but man I just keep on coming back to this song. It's easily some of their top-tier material. On their next album this should just be on it just because.
WoeBoeT not to mention that this song was on the tracklist for Ecco Homo, the album that eventually transformed into EWBAITE. It definitely fits and its a shame it didn't make the album.
Meet me in the dark My heart shrivels when the light is shining I can't get back home alone I need someone here to guide me Praise for the awakened one He truly saved my life But after all his truth is small And I love the lie Everybody needs salvation And if it doesn't come we make some Some people can get by on nothing But I still need to know I'm something Just like in a dream I scream And no one hears the words I'm saying Have I lost my mind this time? Or have I won the game we're playing? That's all I really care about It's kind of wonderful Kiss me while we both are still intangible Everybody needs salvation And if it doesn't come we make some Some people can get by on nothing But I still need to know I'm something Yes I still need to know I'm something I'm ready to love you I'm ready to give my heart I'm ready to trust you 'Cause I ain't afraid of the dark I'm ready to love you I'm ready to give my heart I'm ready to trust you 'Cause I ain't afraid, I ain't afraid of the dark! Everybody needs salvation And if it doesn't come we make some Some people can get by on nothing But I still need to know I'm something
Rivers writes 98% of Weezer songs. Only ones I can think he didn't write were Thought You knew and In the Mall. Also worth noting Hurley was largely collaborative.
Oh yes it is, but I don't think Cold Dark World is a crap song. A bizarre one? Sure! But not a crap one. Don't get me wrong, Red Album suffers from a fuckload of crap songs, from Troublemaker to Everybody Get Dangerous! But the rest is fairly good, and it reaches its culmination with The Angel and the One that is truly a perfect song. All the extras are pretty great, from Miss Sweeney to Pig, and they should have made it on the album for sure. Red Album's biggest tragedy is that it could have been another Blue...
I love how crunchy and louder the guitars are in this mix with the vocals a little bit lower in volume. Sounds more like a real rock song! ❤️ Turn those guitars up, mannnnnnnnn
...damn, I just realized that this is what I wanted the black album to sound like. zombie bastards tempered my expectations a little, but I'm still hoping we get stuff like this on black.
I’m an atheist and music has always been more of an escape for me than religion. This song, is such a religious experience. Not because of the nod to Christianity, but just how special it is. Forever sad this didn’t make an album !
@@King-ty7mz the notes he hits are just too good The “I’m not affrraiiiiiiiii -I’m not afraaaiiiIiiiidddD of the DARRKK.” Is just so powerful and fun to belt
it was sent out as a fan club only 7" vinyl single with no b-side. so if you want a physical copy you'll have to buy it secondhand somewhere. otherwise, like i said, iTunes. that's it.
It was released as a single for the weezer fanclub, so technically it *has* been officially released. really wish they put this on everything will be alright in the end :/
Rivers does whatever the record companies tells him to. The majority of good songs are cast aside in favor of whatever he thinks is gonna be a pop hit. Meanswhile if he simply produced and relased songs from the black hole-they'd sell more unts than the past 5 albums combined...
@@Ghosty6464 that is definitely not the first weezer album new fans should listen to, its down to either Blue or White, those are much better introduction albums. Im not hating on pinkerton its my favorite weezer album but it should not be an introduction to the band

This is basically the perfect weezer song 👍🏻

commonrider5445 ewbaite ties green at best
It's way better than Green.
GatorGolfing no
Why is it not better then Green?

amanda ! I know. If a girl and can’t sing that high
I can do it
I can do it
They can do it
It's insane, completely outside my vocal range, even falsetto.
this song is so beautiful.
I've lost myself in all the Weezer B-Sides and unreleased tracks lately but man I just keep on coming back to this song. It's easily some of their top-tier material.
On their next album this should just be on it just because.
I come from the future. We're in a pandemic, Weezer released 2 albums this year, still no salvation :(
I dont think they can put b-sides or fan club singles into one of their albums
@@lovelar23 This could fit easily onto the "Fall" album that's coming next year
@@bluee3348 we can only hope
Future, sadly never happened
This may be my favorite Weezer song.
This is what I want the Black Album to sound like if Rivers wants to go to a more poppier sound
Well, pacific daydream is all pop.
It would be even better if they put this song on the black album
so I just heard the new single and it is actually like this wow
Lolll
well
The ending of this sounds so good.
rivers really made the one of the greatest rock songs of all time and thought "nah. dont release it"
This song should totally be on the white album. Would be icing on the cake. One of the best weezer songs in my opinion.
buruno2m doesn't really fit with the sunny vibe of white imo
It fits better on ewbaite imo
The guitar sound is very futuroscope and the vocals remind me of ive had it up to here

Meet me in the dark
My heart shrivels when the light is shining
I can't get back home alone
I need someone here to guide me
Praise for the awakened one
He truly saved my life
But after all his truth is small
And I love the lie
Everybody needs salvation
And if it doesn't come we make some
Some people can get by on nothing
But I still need to know I'm something
Just like in a dream I scream
And no one hears the words I'm saying
Have I lost my mind this time?
Or have I won the game we're playing?
That's all I really care about
It's kind of wonderful
Kiss me while we both are still intangible
Everybody needs salvation
And if it doesn't come we make some
Some people can get by on nothing
But I still need to know I'm something
Yes I still need to know I'm something
I'm ready to love you
I'm ready to give my heart
I'm ready to trust you
'Cause I ain't afraid of the dark
I'm ready to love you
I'm ready to give my heart
I'm ready to trust you
'Cause I ain't afraid, I ain't afraid of the dark!
Everybody needs salvation
And if it doesn't come we make some
Some people can get by on nothing
But I still need to know I'm something
this entire song is beautiful
2:31 I love the way he says "salvation" there. so much emotion
This is the best Weezer song since Pinkerton. Awesome!
I meant since the album, obviously.
Lol I love how 20 more people liked Tschennnnie's correction than his original comment.
@@gravyboot1830 42 now
@@gravyboot1830 thats what we 5 years from now call a "Ratio"
I revisit this more than the blue album
same..
also i revisit most songs from Alone XI: The EWBAITE Years more than the Blue Album.
Nice to hear a Weezer song that isn’t about how a girl doesn’t like Rivers despite him being nearly 50 and married
Well you realize that other band members can write songs also like the drummer, guitarist, or bassist. but idk how that works with their band tho
Rivers writes 98% of Weezer songs. Only ones I can think he didn't write were Thought You knew and In the Mall. Also worth noting Hurley was largely collaborative.
Oh and Surf Wax America was also written by Pat.
@dn I actually knew that. Just forgot. I'm sure there isnanother one I'm forgetting
Yeah it’s cool
The final section with the guitars sounds menacing and great at the same time.
The fact that songs like where's my sex?, the girl got hot, and Beverly Hills made it onto albums and this one didn't frustrates me a tad
See also: Miss Sweeney and Pug. Amazing songs that somehow get left off the Red album while crap like Cold Dark World made the cut. Bizarre.
+Nicholas Collins that album's tracklisting is a tragedy
Oh yes it is, but I don't think Cold Dark World is a crap song. A bizarre one? Sure! But not a crap one.
Don't get me wrong, Red Album suffers from a fuckload of crap songs, from Troublemaker to Everybody Get Dangerous! But the rest is fairly good, and it reaches its culmination with The Angel and the One that is truly a perfect song.

I like those two from the red album lmao
I actually like Where's my sex
this is simply the greatest weezer song
What I would do for a dark Weezer record that sounds like this
i’ve been a weezer fan all my life but this song just made me take them more seriously
it hurts knowing that they never put this on an actual album
i come back to this frequently and i dunno why. it feels really emotional for me.
If this song was actually about God, I feel like this could single handedly convert someone.
You mean *single*-handedly;) athank you.
Andy Roth singlehandedly-;)
@@LordBeau slanglandely
The change in this song is perfection. weezer is known for their great changes. But went away from that in the make believe-Hurley era
Jacob Bastian make Believe was great frick u
Hurley was decent, Red was okay. Raditude and Make Believe are utter shit.
@@philatio1744 Hurley is 7.5/10 and Red is a 8/10, Red is so underrated (i unironically like Make Believe, but i can understand the hate)

this song played on the radio today and that's how i discovered one of my fav songs
Man if this was on ewbaite it would've easily been my favorite weezer album.
Most interesting Weezer song I've heard for many years.
This band is very undervalued! It's a pity!
You mean, "This Is Such A Pity," right?
These puns are beginning to hurt...
+LetThemEatCustard they haunt me everyday
Sad!
OK, this comment needs to be undone
This deserves to be its own album
...damn, I just realized that this is what I wanted the black album to sound like. zombie bastards tempered my expectations a little, but I'm still hoping we get stuff like this on black.
caitsith I agree! This is one of my fav Weezer songs. Top 5 B-Side easy.
:(
:((((((
Mr VT :((((((
Did u like OK Human and VW?
I became a huge weezer fan in the span of 7 months and there is not a single song or album I do not love
Raditude?
you like can't stop partying?
An Alternative Christian Rock Weezer song? Yooo.
He says "Praise for the Awakened One." That's Gautama Buddha. "Buddha" means "Awakened One." Rivers is very into Buddhist meditation.
This is really good God damn
Yeah sure
This is way better than "I Love The USA"
Two different songs entirely. Why even compare them?
Jose Rodriguez they're both great
I love the usa was made for NASA
I Love The USA is a fucking joke song
@@TheSweep12 and it's great. Different kind of great than this, but i still think its a wonderful goof of a song
This song should have replaced Records on SZNZ: Summer!
FACTS
Its so sad that this never made it to an album release. Really a head shaking decision if you ask me. Could've even been a single imo
Can this be one of the best weezer songs?... If not the best
very ewbaite
It’s a B-side to it from what I know
What the black album should have been!
when did this come out and why is it not on an official album??
Metzengerstein It's a fan club single.
iM2American we know that, but the real question is what were they thinking of keeping this as a fan club exclusive?
This is so good
we meet again
I’m an atheist and music has always been more of an escape for me than religion. This song, is such a religious experience. Not because of the nod to Christianity, but just how special it is. Forever sad this didn’t make an album !
This song is amazing.
this song is divine
God bless Weezer
this deserved to be on ewbaite :(
By far the best Weezer song
This goes harder than anything on EWBAITE or white self-titled. I might download this for myself.
Absolutely the heaviest-sounding Weezer song, by a wide margin
This is what Van Weezer should have been like. Not the soft pop rock + "Pump it up into me please daddy"
I love the sound of everybody needs salvation rivers voice is just so crisp idk how to explain it and the guitar is so beautiful JIZZ IN MY PANTS!!!
the beginning is my favorite
um, not really anymore my fave part is the climax (naturally)
Wow, the commitment for updating a whole year later! Is the climax still your favorite part?
@@King-ty7mz the notes he hits are just too good
The “I’m not affrraiiiiiiiii -I’m not afraaaiiiIiiiidddD of the DARRKK.” Is just so powerful and fun to belt
Love this song and i think it's funny how it kind of sounds like Aleks Syntek's "Duele el amor"
How was this not on an album?!?!
Why couldn't this have been the black album
I love it
Why is this not on Spotify???
Can I purchase this song with cold hard cash?
Put on black album plz
Weezerいつも素晴らしい歌をありがとう
This song should be on the new album
+Josh Young Hopefully on the deluxe edition
+Josh Young This is a fan club only song release. Won't make it onto an album.
i love weezer
My favorite song that wasn't on the album
I really wish this song was on Apple Music...
where can i buy this?
iTunes
it was sent out as a fan club only 7" vinyl single with no b-side. so if you want a physical copy you'll have to buy it secondhand somewhere. otherwise, like i said, iTunes. that's it.
It pop ups occasionally: www.discogs.com/de/Weezer-Everybody-Needs-Salvation/release/6930418
16 People Need Salvation.
I heard they might remaster Ecce Homo and release it!! Never thought the day would come
does anyone know what the original painting is called?
It's called "Ecce Homo" by Antonello da Messina
Song so good I had to make it my ringtone
This is more viewed than many offical EWBAITE songs
That’s fucking crazy
2:05 pinkerton vibes 😂
Why isn’t it in a album yet?
It was released as a single for the weezer fanclub, so technically it *has* been officially released. really wish they put this on everything will be alright in the end :/
I need EWBAITE deluxe STAT. so many good songs aaaaaaaaaaa
This is from ecce homo

Awesome song btw zackscottgames likes your song :)
the first second sounds like have you ever seen the rain
how exactly did people get the vinyl of this song?
Justin Gabiosa Weezer fanclub only single
Sounds like "duele el amor" from Alex syntek
This sounds like something out of SZNZ. And I don't like SZNZ, but I like this so I guess it's good.
Thought this was only for the fan club? How did you get it on RUclips?
Girl in my art class was going on about how great this song was and how she forgot about it a long time. It’s alright, I suppose.
If you're not a Weezer fan, check out Pinkerton.

Weezer is so into lead guitars, they even have a lead lead guitar at around 1:45
fukkk boiii y isnt this in their albums shitttttt
y do weezer put in the mall, wheres my sex and shit in his albums but not this jewel, shit mah fukkk boi wtf
Himura Kenshin this is a fanclub exclusive
wheres my sex is kinda funny tho ngl
taken off spotify when and why
I don't think it was ever on spotify
No mames está fue de las primeras canciones que escuché de weezer
00:05 that bass chord is mean
The best Weezer songs are never on their albums.
Good Fucking Song !
Good fucking song !!
2:25 seriously where is that riff from annoying me now
ricky stephens I'm the biggest metallica fan there is and i can tell you it doesn't sound familiar to me at all
Hey rick, also curious if the riff is from somewhere else, did you find something?
ricky stephens sounds like one part of “Fugue in D minor” by Bach
Weezer; the band who's B's are better than their A's
Weezus
Ecce Homo>EWBAITE
Chorus sounds kind of like "When We Were Young" by The Killers
Funny in how The Killers basically sound like Weezer at times.
