Weezer - "Across the Sea"
Saw a comment on another upload of this that said "Bro was so down bad he peaked as a songwriter" and I can't think of a better way to describe this song.
A friend sent me this tweet. This was my response. Â
Red Velvet - Updated Power Rankings
Itâs been a couple years so here is my updated ranking of Red Velvet singles.
1. Russian Roulette 2. Bad Boy 3. One of These Nights 4. Red Flavor 5. Dumb Dumb 6. Be Natural 7. Queendom 8. Peek-a-Boo 9. Automatic 10. Power Up 11. Umpah Umpah 12. Rookie 13. RBB (Really Bad Boy) 14. Psycho 15. Zimzalabim 16. Ice Cream Cake 17. Happiness
I remember I used to make mixes just to play and have on in the background while driving with people in hopes that theyâd be impressed or ask about the song or whatever. Now I would just play music that I think people know and enjoy. People donât want to be challenged when theyâre trying to have a good time.Â

âUp on the @SongVsSongPod, we're finally doing it. "Stairway to Heaven" vs. "Free Bird". Please vote and help us decide! https://t.co/rN2jrO2DAjâ
My take: "Stairway to Heaven" is lowkey kinda boring and "Free Bird" highkey rips. âStairway to Heavenâ takes nearly six minutes to get to the rocking part and then peters out way too soon. "Free Bird" would never.
My Top 10 Favorite Songs of All Time - 2006 Edition
2021 Editorâs Note:Â I was looking through some old files and found this thing that I wrote sometime in the summer of 2006 at age 22. For all I know, it couldâve been 15 years to the day! Looking back, Iâm not sure how many of these songs would still make my top 10. Donât get me wrong, I still love all of these tunes, but Iâm sure you know how it goes - You get older, you get exposed to more things, and your idea of good music expands. Anyway, I thought it might be nice to share with anyone who still uses this site. I present it in its original format without edits to my writing. I ended up writing full posts in this blog about some of these songs if you go through the archive.Â
Stuâs Top 10 Favorite SongsâŚEver
Letâs start with some honorable mentions. These were so close, and I thought about it for so long, but they had to be left off.
Honorable Mentions
All Summer Long â The Beach Boys
All Summer Long. 1964. Capitol
This song has been described so many times as being âthe perfect summer song.â When you listen to it, you canât help but smile from the opening marimba intro, all the way through. It just screams âsummerâ and it hurt me to leave The Beach Boys off my top 10.
Bleed American â Jimmy Eat World
Bleed American. 2001. Grand Royal
So full of energy, so rocking, and so what wouldâve been the most recent song on my list. I wanted to keep it in the top 10 just so I could have a song from the â00s, but it wasnât meant to be. When the chorus kicks in, I canât help but headbang.
Marie â Randy Newman
Good Old Boys. 1974. Reprise
Randy has said that a lot of young composers pick âMarieâ as their favorite Newman song, and I can see why. The idea of a guy having to be drunk to tell his wife that he loves her is pretty funny, and throughout the whole song itâs just the beautiful melody with tons of strings, all to a tune about a guy ripping on himself as he comes home drunk to his wife.
Does He Love You? â Rilo Kiley
More Adventurous. 2004. Brute/Beaute
I guess this is newer than Bleed American, so it wouldâve worked too. This is another more recent song that it killed me to leave off the list. The outro is an arrangement of the main tune with a different chord progression performed by a string quartet. Very beautiful. Also when Jenny Lewis screams âYour husband will never leave you, he will never leave you for me,â I get chills every time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
So here it is. After a long dayâs work, Iâm finally finished. It actually turned out much different than I was thinking when I first started. The number one wasnât really even in my top five when I started, but I slowly realized I loved it so much. I also left Ben Folds (Five) off this list completely, and I donât know, I just feel the whole catalogue of Ben is so solid, none of the songs stick out to me that much. But anyways, here it is! After the break of courseâŚ
Stuâs Top 10
10.
(Love Is Like A) Heat Wave â Martha and the Vandellas
Heat Wave. 1963. Motown.
This one beat out âBleed Americanâ just barely. The reason being that somehow, despite being nearly 40 years older than Bleed American, it still has so much energy that it kills. Dan Bukvich once told our Jazz Arranging class that you can boil all the oldies you hear on the radio down to three categories: 1) Great Song. 2) Great Performance. 3) Great Arrangement. This song is one of the great performances. The handclaps throughout, combined with the driving baritone sax behind everything and constant snare drum action will keep anybody with blood running through their veins dancing all night long.
9.
Bodhisattva â Steely Dan
Countdown to Ecstasy. 1973. MCA
This song is my Freebird. Itâs just a basic blues progression song at its core with some minor changes at the end of the form. The real kicker that drives this song home is the three minute guitar solo in the middle that isnât nearly as rocking as Freebird, but it is highly proficient and takes me to places that just make me want to play the song over and over again. I have no idea what this song is about, probably Buddhism, but hey, this once again proves that lyrics rarely matter and the music itself is the core.
8.
Zanzibar â Billy Joel
52nd Street. 1978. Columbia
This song reminds me of long car rides on vacations down the west coast with my parents growing up. They used to play a tape of 52nd Street, or at least their favorite selections, constantly on these trips. I didnât hear this song again until early in my senior year in college and remembered why I loved it so much. The song has a heavy jazz influence, displayed in the breakdown where Jazz trumpeter Freddie Hubbard does a solo. The best part of this song though is at the end of the 4th line of each verse, Billy does this âWoah oh oh!â thing that just makes me want to sing every time. It was between this and âMiami 2017 (Lights Go Out On Broadway)â which is also a great song, but the âWoah oh oh!â is too much for olâ Stu boy.
7.
Rosalita (Come Out Tonight) â Bruce Springsteen
The Wild, the Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle. 1973. Columbia
Early Bruce Springsteen records have something that very few other artists can ever pull off without sounding cheesy or forced. It has this undeniable sense of urgency, like the world will fall apart and life will crumble through your fingers if this one moment in time doesnât work out the way Bruce describes it. There are so many early Springsteen songs that just set a scene of âWe have to get out of this town right now girl before it kills us, no matter what any of our parents, friends, anybody has to say.â Thereâs a line that kinda sums it up: âWell hold on tight, stay up all night âcause Rosie Iâm cominâ on strong. By the time we meet the morning light, I will hold you in my arms. I know a pretty little place in southern California down San Diego way. Thereâs a little cafĂŠ where they play guitars all night and all day. You can hear âem in the back room strumminâ, so hold tight baby âcause donât you know daddyâs cominâ.â
6.
Iâve Got You Under My Skin â Frank Sinatra
Songs For Swinginâ Lovers! 1956. Capitol
This song falls into the category of great arrangement. This Cole Porter classic tune was arranged for Sinatra by Nelson Riddle. The story goes that he was still copying down parts for the players while riding in the cab to the recording studio on the day of recording. After the players ran through it once with Frank, they stood up and applauded. The Baritone sax takes control here, outlining a Db6/9 chord throughout the intro. Of course, Frankâs vocal delivery is spot on and goes up and down in all the right places for the biggest emotion impact. Itâs amazing how a song with no real chorus can be so good.
5.
A Change Is Gonna Come â Sam Cooke
Ainât That Good News. 1964. RCA Victor
This song was not even going to be on this list, but then I ran across it while scouring my collection of music and remembered how good it was. Then I listened to it and was blown away by the level of detail that went into this arrangement. Samâs vocals soar above the mind blowingly beautiful arrangement. The lyrics to this one actually add to the tune itself, speaking of wrongdoings in the world around him, and how social change is on its way in the form of the civil rights movement. The song flows with such ease out of Cooke that one might forget the weightiness of the content, but the songâs content is just so heavy that itâs impossible to deny it.
4.
Whatever â Oasis
Whatever EP. 1994. Creation
This song was released as a Christmas present to the U.K. from the Gallagher brothers and company. It never appeared on any full album, only being released as a single, and amazingly, it blows away anything else theyâve ever done. Think âAll You Need Is Love,â but with tons of rocking energy and a snide, nonchalant attitude. The chorus speaks, âIâm free to be whatever I, whatever I choose and Iâll sing the blues if I want. Iâm free to be whatever I, whatever I like, if itâs wrong or right, itâs alright.â Not exactly poetry, and the song isnât exactly breaking any new ground either, but the song is absolutely perfect in every way, and it was going to be my #1, but perhaps the only reason itâs not at number one is because Iâve played this song so many times that at the moment, these next three are beating it, but who knows how Iâll feel in a few months. This song also pulls the same âoutro performed by a string quartetâ thing as âDoes He Love You?â but even better. Itâs so simple, but I canât get enough of it.
3.
Mr. Blue Sky â Electric Light Orchestra
Out of the Blue. 1977. Jet
This is obviously the best Beatles song that the Beatles never wrote. The staccato guitar during the verse combined with the strings present in just about every ELO song combine to make a force that is undeniably catchy and musically challenging at the same time. This is really what makes ELO so good. I didnât discover this song till probably Nov. 2005, and it was one of the best days of my life. I didnât want to include two songs by the same artist in my top 10, but if I did, I probably wouldâve added âTurn To Stoneâ on this list too because it is almost as awesome as this one. Itâs a shame that just like Billy Joel, most critics at the time hated ELO for being overly creative musically (they called it pretentiousness). These days we have acts that really are pretentious (see Radiohead), but everyone loves them, even critics. Iâm not knocking all Radiohead, just most everything post OK Computer. Sorry, got a little sidetracked there.
2.
Only In Dreams â Weezer
Weezer. 1994. Geffen
This has been my favorite Weezer song since about a month into me picking up Weezerâs debut album back around early 2000. It has this ostinato (a repeated motif over and over again) in the bass throughout most of the whole song, never even really resolving to the Gb major chord (excluding chorus, which never really resolves) that it wants to until the end of a 3 minute contrapuntal guitar duet when everything dies out except the bass which just retards on its own until it finally plays the single Gb weâve all been waiting for. The song on the whole up until the guitar duet is pretty tame, but once those contrapuntal guitar lines start intertwining, my ears perk up every time. I can sing both lines at separate times upon request and when the drums finally kick back in fully at the climax of the song, I let out a sigh of relief or bang on my car wheel in exultant joy, whichever is more of an option at the time.
1.
All Is Forgiven â Jellyfish
Spilt Milk. 1993. Charisma
I always loved this song from the first time I heard it, but I didnât realize how much I loved it until maybe April 2006. I found out about Jellyfish first semester of college in the Fall of â02 and heard this song, and knew it was great. The constant tom-tom driven drums, the fuzzy, almost white noise distorted guitar, and the half time bass throughout. It was great. Then in April I put it on my mp3 player for the walk to school, and then I listened to it for about two weeks straight. Seriously. It runs into the next song entitled âRussian Hillâ which is almost as good, but because itâs a separate song, I couldnât include it on the list, but in my mind, they always run together and are basically one long 9 minute song. The ending just gets more and more white noise filled until you can barely take it anymore and then it just cuts off completely into the slow acoustic intro for Russian Hill. Itâs perfect in every way. I think this would fall into the category of great song. And the way the song builds up right to the middle of the song and then cuts out completely except for some very VERY faint xylophone noodling, and then busts back in with some feedback directly into guitar solo. Man I love this song.
I don't know if I've ever felt as connected to a YouTube video as this one I just saw today. Cuts immediately to my core. Doesn't actually start talking about Weezer until about 3 minutes in but you're gonna need that Boston Market bit for context.
If you can name a song better than âNext Color Planetâ by Hoshimachi Suisei that was released between January 1, 2020 and today (April 30, 2021), I will Venmo you $1.Â
I am the judge, but I will be honest if I agree. Off the top of my head, I can think of 3 tunes that I would at least have a conversation about.Â
Tatsuro Yamashita -Â âSparkleâ
Truly a god-tier tune.Â

Remember that song "Downtown" by Macklemore? I was reminded that song existed yesterday. The video was shot in downtown Spokane when I used to live there. The song is bad but the video was probably the first halfway meaningful musical thing to happen to Spokane in my lifetime. Memories.
Ranking Red Velvet Singles
1. Russian Roulette 2. Bad Boy 3. One of These Nights 4. Red Flavor 5. Dumb Dumb 6. Be Natural 7. Peek-a-Boo 8. Automatic 9. Power Up 10. Umpah Umpah 11. Rookie 12. RBB (Really Bad Boy) 13. Zimzalabim 14. Ice Cream Cake 15. Happiness
$1: âYou Get What You Giveâ - New Radicals
Easy choice. Gregg Alexander is one of the greatest pop songwriters of all time and this song remains instantly catchy and memorable.
$1: âAll Starâ - Smash Mouth
As much of a meme as it has become, I have always had a soft spot in my heart for this song.Â
$3: âGenie in a Bottleâ - Christina Aguilera
Pop perfection. And not even the best song of that year by Aguilera.Â
$3: âYou Got Meâ - The Roots
The song that got me into The Roots.Â
$4 -Â âSay My Nameâ - Destinyâs Child
Truly one of the great DC bangers. Remember when Destinyâs Child had four members?Â
$3 left over for, like, something not from 1999, which was the start of about a decade straight of mostly garbage music.Â
A man after my own heart.Â
"Thank U, Next" is better than anything on Sweetener by a mile.

Man, so disappointed in the new Ariana Grande album, Sweetener. I finally got around to listening to it and I only like three of the songs. I liked more songs on the Christmas & Chill EP.Â
This song is incredibly dope. I guess I should've gotten into k-pop sooner because I already don't care about lyrics. Might as well show that by listening to music with lyrics in a language I don't speak.
