9. Weezer – Say It Ain’t So
At dawn, strapped into my Discman as I walk, bleary-eyed to work, the blue CD starts spinning. This is all very good.
And then the easy, rainy-day guitar (or is it sun-drenched?) and Rivers Cuomo’s gentle falsetto are easy on my early-morning mind.
“Oh yeah.
Alright.
Feels Good.
Inside”
It’s intimate, soft, and delightfully off-beat. It’s a bit like Undone (The Sweater Song), but there’s something darker building here.
