Weezer, una de las bandas más icónicas del rock alternativo, se formó en Los Ángeles, California, en 1992. El grupo surgió de la unión de cuatro talentosos músicos: Rivers Cuomo (vocalista y guitarrista), Patrick Wilson (baterista), Matt Sharp (bajista) y Jason Cropper (guitarrista). Esta formación inicial sentó las bases de lo que sería una carrera larga y llena de éxitos.
Rivers Cuomo, el motor creativo del grupo, había pasado por diversas experiencias musicales antes de fundar Weezer. Influenciado por bandas como The Pixies y The Beach Boys, Rivers comenzó a componer canciones que combinaban letras introspectivas con melodías pegajosas. La visión de Cuomo y la química entre los miembros de la banda rápidamente captaron la atención de las discográficas.
En 1994, Weezer lanzó su primer álbum de estudio, comúnmente conocido como “The Blue Album” debido a su distintiva carátula azul. Producido por Ric Ocasek de The Cars, el álbum fue un éxito inmediato tanto comercial como críticamente. Canciones como "Buddy Holly", "Say It Ain't So" y "Undone – The Sweater Song" se convirtieron en himnos generacionales.
El éxito de "The Blue Album" catapultó a Weezer al estrellato. Sus vídeos musicales innovadores y llenos de humor también ayudaron a establecer su imagen pública. El vídeo de "Buddy Holly", que homenajeaba a la serie de televisión “Happy Days”, ganó varios premios y se convirtió en un clásico de la era de MTV.

All the times you came to me and told me that you cared
I was dreaming of happy days that we both could share
Maybe I got too excited and maybe you freaked out
Maybe I just have to call you up and scream and shout
All of my friends tell me that I ought to play it cool
No one likes too much attention from a desperate fool
Still, I don't believe that I can keep it all inside
When I see your pretty face, I almost want to cry
I know it isn't right, but still I have to fight
I have to let you know I don't want to let you go
The pain is killing me, but I can't let it be
I have to let you know I don't want to let you go
I remember days when I was stronger than a wall
Try as anybody might, they couldn't move me at all
Now I fall to pieces when you softly call my name
Going up in smoke winds like a moth within your flame
I have lost all hope for being normal once again
I will be a slave to you until the bitter end
Even if it's a hundred years before you change your mind
I will be here waiting girl until the end of time
I know it isn't right, but still I have to fight
I have to let you know I don't want to let you go
The pain is killing me, but I can't let it be
I have to let you know I don't want to let you go
I know it isn't right, but still I have to fight
I have to let you know I don't want to let you go
The pain is killing me, but I can't let it be
I have to let you know I don't want to let you go
