More on Only in Dreams
Description from Wikipedia:
Only in Dreams is a song penned by Rivers Cuomo for Weezer's The Blue Album in 1994. At nearly eight minutes it is currently the longest song by Weezer. It is most noteworthy for its three minute long crescendo of the two guitars, bass, and drums, in which the dynamics gradually increase and the timbre builds up layers until the climaxing guitar solo at the end.
The song has a prominent bass line played by Matt Sharp (although written by Cuomo) which primarily never resolves to the tonic of the key.
When asked in 2006 which Weezer guitar solo he is the most proud of/likes the most, Rivers Cuomo answered, "I'd have to go with 'Only in Dreams' and [Make Believe track] 'Haunt You Every Day' for sheer length. Epic, epic, epic. So few people play these kinds of solos anymore."
Rock band Ash has covered the song. The song was rated #8 in Q Magazine's "20 Greatest Guitar Tracks" in September 2007.
