I would agree if it was during the Raditude/Hurley era, but ever since EWBAITE and White (even a bit of P.D); Rivers has had extremely meaningful and developed lyrics on his songs. Heck, I would say that lyrics in the sessions of albums such as: Green, Maladroit, Album 5, Red (underrated), and even Make Believe; Rivers has still put out his lyrical power at work. Of course some lyrics may come out as nerdy or weird (what mainstream-attached people would call: "cringe"). But hey, that's what Weezer is: a bunch of nerds rocking out.
learned so much stuff from this vid. His love for soccer, the artwork for say it aint so, the leg procedure, and that I think a person I know had the same one
"Perhaps because my parents split up when i was 4, and because i rarely saw my dad as i was growing up, i romanticized everything about him, one of the things i romanticized was his passion for soccer, i tried to cultivate it in myself, i took my first step trying to kick a soccer ball, i drew pictures of soccer scenes and sent them to him, i tried to like soccer more than the other more popular and more visible professional sports, and i played on a boys soccer team, but when i was 12, i learned that i had a problem with my leg that would keep me from succeeding at sports in any serious way, i turned passion from athletics to music, and watched in envy as my high school soccer team won the Connecticut state championship, after achieving success myself as a musician with Weezer, i learned that a procedure had been developed to fix my leg, i took 13 months to undergo the procedure, and dreamed nearly very day of the time that i would be able to join a soccer team, after my leg healed i played a ton of soccer for a few years, on armature mens and co-ed teams in Boston and LA, i also became a real soccer fan buy season tickets to the LA Galaxy, and attending the last 3 world cup finals, i closely follow the careers of the best American players, such as Landon Donovan, so when i contacted to play in Mia Hamm celebrity soccer challenge, alongside many of my favorite players, i couldn't say no, even though i wasn't exactly in the best shape, even though there were a lot of things i should be doing instead, and even though i was a wee bit petrified, i had to do this, i had 9 days to train and get in shape"
He is a music genius, not that good on football, but you have to remember he is not a young man anymore, so I think he had a good performance at the game, scoring a goal and having fun!
This was actually a very heart-warming story! I like that he was practicing in the pouring rain. I love just standing in the rain getting drenched sometimes...
I wanna know What were you doing with my friend? Out in the eve Deep in the Shady Glen I saw you Lying with him, down in the snow Letting him do all of the things that he wants to What does he do? What does he do to you that's so nice? And how does it feel When he takes your hand and kisses it twice? Lying with you, down in the snow, letting him do All of the things he wants to (Come on come on come on I feel it) So you laugh and play around (Come on come on come on I see it) Fall and hit the ground (Come on come on come on I feel it) You think I'll never know (Come on come on come on I see it) Your lover in the snow Letting him fill you up with his wine Letting him flatter you with his line Letting him put you down on the snow Taking him in and letting me go (Come on come on come on) It hurts for me to see you so (Come on come on come on) And I can't take you back no more (Come on come on come on) Lover in the snow (Come on come on come on I feel it) I wanna know What were you doing with my friend? Out in the eve Deep in the Shady Glen I saw you (Come on come on come on I feel it) Laugh and play around (Come on come on come on I feel it) You fall and hit the ground (Come on come on come on I feel it) Your lover in the snow Letting him fill you up with his wine Letting him flatter you with his line Letting him put you down in the snow Taking him in and letting me go (Come on come on come on) It hurts for me to see you so (Come on come on come on) And I can't take you back no more (Come on come on come on) Lover in the snow (Come on come on come on I feel it) You laugh and play around (Come on come on come on I feel it) You fall and hit the ground (Come on come on come on I feel it) You think I'll never know (Come on come on come on I feel it) Your lover in the snow love your music dude !! i make music 2
i've only just found out about him from davedays dailybooth and i love him!! :D god bless you Rivers Cuomo and well done for making it thru all the thing about your leg :') x
Not to sound mean but is there anything this guy keeps to himself? lol for a guy who seems very reserved and quiet he sure likes everyone to know about his life. I’m just beginning to get into Weezer and I like this video, so maybe this is normal to the long time fans but yea just curious what’s up with this.
Sos demasiado Crack...se me pianta un lagrimón. Hablando de futbol, que opinión tenes del ultimo mundial? Que sentiste al ver a Messi levantando la Copa del Mundo?
No. Rivers isn't famous because of some shallow rapper. He's the brains behind one of the highlights of alternative rock, and an incredibly influential band. He writes with real musicianship...you know...actual INSTRUMENTS. We know him from Weezer, and that's how millions do. Far before B.o.B. was around. That "musician" is an example of what's wrong with pop music, and should never be held responsible for bringing attention to Rivers. Weezer is bigger B.o.B. could ever wind up.

Rivers would be great at reading spoken word poetry or audi-books xD
true
He has already done that on the Weezer cruise
'I had 9 days to train and get in shape'
*writes a song*
This was a home recording from when he was writing music for another album pre make believe it sounds too, kinda green or Maladroit era...
ChrisTheSheriff I know this is 3 years late but this was recorded in like 1997 during Weezer’s hiatus
@@officialFredDurstfanclub sorry this is two years late, but you are correct
@@skyswimmer5634 sorry this is a year late, but yes that person is correct
@@thereyvanyour name and pfp is cursed
This guy has an incredible way of coming up with these awesome chord movements. Master songwriter.
Agreed. So many bands make the same chords he uses sound so boring.
YES i so agree
It’s just a shame he’s lyrically dipped so much since the 90s

@@MrSlashtf2 even Hurley has legitimately amazing lyrical moments. Memories, Trainwrecks, and Unspoken are some of my favorite Weezer tracks ever.
I can't help but smile seeing Rivers make that goal
Can't help but feel happy for Rivers that he achieved his goal of being able to play soccer
learned so much stuff from this vid. His love for soccer, the artwork for say it aint so, the leg procedure, and that I think a person I know had the same one
48 years old & I was never a Weezer fan until I saw them live last summer (2018). Game changer! Now I love them.
You still love them? :)

Idk man, he buried that bottom right, what a strike
This is cute. Poor Rivers.
The world needs more people like Rivers...
this made me cry. i know this is an old video, but i'm just so proud of him. it must have felt so amazing when he finally got to play soccer.
I cried.
me too man, me too :')
what ?
same, dont ask me why :')
This was actually a very heart-warming story! I like that he was practicing in the pouring rain. I love just standing in the rain getting drenched sometimes...
Rivers looks great with that beard
Is a poet cuomo....beautiful songs..beautiful music...goooood singer rivers cuomo 4 ever... ☆☆☆☆☆
Rivers knows just how to make me feel like he and I are two of a kind
haha at 4:00 it sounds like he's singing "gooooaaalll" cause he scored
3:26 When Rivers sings "You fall and hit the ground" he really falls and hits the ground during the soccer match. (He's number 26)
I wanna know
What were you doing with my friend?
Out in the eve
Deep in the Shady Glen I saw you
Lying with him, down in the snow
Letting him do all of the things that he wants to
What does he do?
What does he do to you that's so nice?
And how does it feel
When he takes your hand and kisses it twice?
Lying with you, down in the snow, letting him do
All of the things he wants to
(Come on come on come on I feel it)
So you laugh and play around
(Come on come on come on I see it)
Fall and hit the ground
(Come on come on come on I feel it)
You think I'll never know
(Come on come on come on I see it)
Your lover in the snow
Letting him fill you up with his wine
Letting him flatter you with his line
Letting him put you down on the snow
Taking him in and letting me go
(Come on come on come on)
It hurts for me to see you so
(Come on come on come on)
And I can't take you back no more
(Come on come on come on)
Lover in the snow
(Come on come on come on I feel it)
I wanna know
What were you doing with my friend?
Out in the eve
Deep in the Shady Glen I saw you
(Come on come on come on I feel it)
Laugh and play around

(Come on come on come on I feel it)
Your lover in the snow
Letting him fill you up with his wine

Your lover in the snow
love your music dude !! i make music 2
Such a nice guy...
what makes this song even more epic is that there are mike meyers,sandberg,tony hawk and CUOMO
the way i could never hate any rivers song (they're all so good) says a lot
1:26
this just gives you goose bumps..... kudos Rivers. you are one legit guy.
One of his best. Fantastic song.
i've only just found out about him from davedays dailybooth and i love him!! :D god bless you Rivers Cuomo and well done for making it thru all the thing about your leg :') x
Music is whatever we want it to be at any given time, thank you for sharing your story:)
This is my favourite song off alone. And an excellent video :)
There. wasn't so hard to make a comment about the video and not who brought you here.
Te amo rivers
Not a Weeer fan (just haven't heard enough of it... but will!). This is a beautiful video. And a beautiful human dude. Great song. All love.
I love that the Goooooooooo lines up perfectly with GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAL!
3:07 that tony hawk?
Bard it is lol
This is the coolest music video ever
This song melts me every time. I can definitely relate.
Haha rivers is so cute when he plays soccer (no homo) :)
Hey now Ke$ha has a masters degree in world cultures and graduated as valedictorian of her high school. But yeah, Weezer is my shit.
I"m not a fan of soccer, but I have a lot of respect for you Rivers :)
@ShazmePL I'm not sure what you are talking about. Rivers Cuomo is from Weezer. He did a song with Simple Plan, but he is most definitely from Weezer.
0:22 now I know why the used that as the say it aint so cover I now know why “represent” exists
Not to sound mean but is there anything this guy keeps to himself? lol for a guy who seems very reserved and quiet he sure likes everyone to know about his life. I’m just beginning to get into Weezer and I like this video, so maybe this is normal to the long time fans but yea just curious what’s up with this.
@TheRiotInValdosta Is rivers in weezer?
i love you rivers, so driven and passionate in so many different fields- a true inspiration 💖
Dad must be proud :)
when i listen to weezer it make's my think of my childhood.
Rivers,
You are the few men who can have a mustache and actually look pretty darn cute.
Congrats
Tony Hawk e Donovan coool, esse é o Rivers Cuomo!!
was that tony hawk at 3:06 :D
Weezer and soccer, two of my favorite things
Why does this video make me so happy?
watch the bright side, Messi can´t play and sing like you do :)
@junyah54 The song Lover in the Snow. not the actual video. haha.
reminds me off rocky a lot.
U are great cause you're honest. :)
Why does this vieo only got 180k views?
2:00 look its raining
this was beautiful! :) i am so happy that he got to do that :)
Yea rivers!
I was at that game!
Are these the guys from B.o.b's Magic? Or what? :O
@DeagleBeagle Yeah! Me Too
@SlotGlassesGuy they're a big music video company, they can do a lot of things that we can't
@MrHappyHerb Football*
@FeederForLife This was taped and demoed in 1997.
Rivers looks like Leighton Baines from a distance in that blue kit.
@Encenoa I don't know what Weezer is :D
@DeathByAssassin95 How is it If my comment saying 'Football* not soccer' is the highest rated?
awwwwww how cool :)
rivers, you are seriously an awesome human being. your my idol
@phillyt87 He really did. All of that is totally true. One of his legs was formerly 88 (or 58, one of those) mm shorter than the other.
Imagine driving by seeing rivers kick a soccer ball in the court lol
Sos demasiado Crack...se me pianta un lagrimón.
Hablando de futbol, que opinión tenes del ultimo mundial? Que sentiste al ver a Messi levantando la Copa del Mundo?
I love his voice tbh xD
I saw Tony Hawk! in soocer?
You made it man.
@phillyt87 he really does play soccer (yes, soccer. or football, if you prefer).
Rivers is such a good guy...
@GuitarPivot lol!!
@97evra You didn't know about Weezer till that song?
wow mixed football team =D
This guitar uses the exact same notes/chords as 'Getting to Know You Well' by Feeder, which was made way earlier. Still good song though.
@chrisig717 beautiful choice!
love this song
@Goth333666 Thanks :D
@Hazardux look at @3:11 and you'll see that it is Tony Hawk
The cutest striker so far! uwu
Rivers! Who is your favorite Futbol player?!! I love it!
@jerryhsu3 funny how it was called football 1st
No. Rivers isn't famous because of some shallow rapper. He's the brains behind one of the highlights of alternative rock, and an incredibly influential band. He writes with real musicianship...you know...actual INSTRUMENTS.

Bad day?
@@ChrisTheSheriff lol
WAAAAAAAAA
Soccer? Oh you, Rivers
I love this man
There is Football and American Football. I live in Europe im actually starting to call american football, football. And football for real football :D
3:16 andy samberg?
I love you RIVERS
This song = Awesomeness
Yeah
Thumbs up if followed this song that you probably would of found without the other songs...
all the football/soccer debate is just people trying to down others and make themselves/their country look better. all i can say is i love this song!
Thumbs up if you brought yourself here because you can take care of things on your own
that is the coolest video i have seen
