"'''Eulogy for a Rock Band'''" is the third track on ''[[Everything Will Be Alright in the End]]''. It is one of a handful songs that [[Rivers Cuomo]] wrote in the early 2010's alongside [[Ryen Slegr]] and [[Daniel Brummel]] of [[Ozma]].

Cuomo, when asked about the meaning of the song in an interview for the Wall Street Journal, said that it was about one of Weezer's "fore-fathers," but has avoided revealing exactly who. In an episode of the podcast ''[[Post-Pinkerton (podcast)|Post-Pinkerton]]'', host John Carroll observed that Cuomo was known to have listened to [[the Beach Boys]]' album {{Wiki2|That's_Why_God_Made_the_Radio|That's Why God Made the Radio}}'' via Spotify a year prior to ''EWBAITE's'' release, an album released nearly fifty years into the band's career, suggesting that the song could be about [[Brian Wilson]].

According to attendees of fan listening parties in [[2013]] and [[2014]], the song originally went by the titles "Shining Star" and "The Band We Loved the Most," and featured portions of {{Possessive name|Kurt Cobain}} suicide note in the bridge. The existence of these early titles, among more, were confirmed when several title iterations of "Eulogy" were listed on the [[riverscuomo.com demos|riverscuomo.com demo storefront]] in October of [[2020]]. These demos were eventually released as part of the [[Weezma: Daniel, Ryen & Rivers|''Weezma'' Alone compilation]].
