„Heart Songs“ ist ganz großes Weezer-Kino. Bitte achtet mal auf den Songtext.
Zunächst erwähnt Rivers Cuomo in diesem Song einige Bands und Songs der 70’er und 80’er Jahre und landet schließlich bei Nirvanas „It smells like teen spirit“-Album „Nevermind“, das den Impuls für seine Karriere als Musiker gab.
Das Stück ist eine typische Weezer Ballade zum Mitsingen, die sich langsam steigert und in einem schönen Finale mit Gitarrensolo endet.
Das Ding wird mein ich-sitz-im-Auto-bei-offenem-Schiebedach-und-singe-laut-mit-Hit des Sommers.

Lyrics:
Gordon Lightfoot
Sang a song
About a boat
That sank in the lake
At the break
Of the morning
A Cat named Stevens
Ffound a faith
He could believe in
And Joan Baez
I never listened
Tto too much jazz
But hippie songs
Could be heard
In our pad
Eddie Rabbitt sang
About how much
He loved a rainy night
Abba, Devo, Benatar
Were there day
John Lennon died
Mr. Springsteen said
He had a hungry heart
Grover Washington
Was happy on the day
He topped the charts
These are the songs
Chorus:
These are my heart songs
They never feel wrong
And when I wake
For goodness sake
These are the songs
I keep singin‘
Quiet Riot got me started
With the bangin‘ on my head
Iron Maiden, Judas Priest
And Slayer
Taught me how to shred
I gotta admit though
Sometimes
I would listen
To the radio
Debbie Gibson
Tell me that you think
We’re all alone
Michael Jackson’s
In the mirror
I’ve gotta have faith
If I wanna see clear
Never gonna give you up
Wish me love
Or wishing well
It takes two to make
A thing go right
If the Fresh Prince
Starts a fight
Don’t you worry
For too long
‚Cause you know
These are the songs
(Chorus)
Back in 1991
I wasn’t havin‘ any fun
‚Till my roommate said
„Come on and put
a brand new record on“
Had a baby on it
He was naked on it
Then I heard the chords
That broke the chains
I had upon me
Got together with my bros
In some rehearsal studios
Then we played
Our first rock show
And watched the fan base
Start to grow
Signed the deal that gave
The dough to make
A record of our own
The song come
On the radio
Now people go
This is the song
These are my heart songs
They never feel wrong
And when I wake
For goodness sake
These are the songs
I keep singing
(4x):
These are the songs
I keep singing
