this is a very unique weezer song. when i listen to it i hear a rivers cuomo who wants to give it all up, all his success with weezer and music. i just keep thinking it's a song about retiring and growing old and how when you give everything up you start to appreciate things so much more. rivers wants a simple life with simple things
"sometimes i wanna build a house with a wood stove or a fireplace, and in the middle of the living room, and old piano sometimes it don't seem so bad to settle down with a girl for a while"
i suppose this song is somewhat of a reaction to the less than stellar success of pinkerton and rivers cynicism that came after he poured his heart and soul into pinkerton and he felt at the time no one really cared.
to me this is the most beautiful song written by rivers cuomo. I miss no longer having him write music that is first and foremost outwardly sincere
