{{Quote box|[[Image:Mbcommentaryphoto.png]]|'''[[Scott Shriner|Scott]]:''' I still don’t know how the acoustic guitar really goes. [laughter] I just always think of [[Rick Rubin]] in the studio, just moving his head back and forth, rockin’ in the control room. You know, that’s the picture I have about this song. And it felt like it was important for this song to be on the album, as well.

{{Interviewee2|Brian|It’s a great sentiment. It doesn’t come across as being, like…you know, too hippie-ish, which is good, but musically it’s such a simple chord progression that a child could play it and that’s always a good sign, first off, when we don’t have to think about it too much when we play it. I think it’s just a great message. I think we need a song like that these days.}}

{{Rivers|Yeah, it’s actually not coming from a “hippie” place at all. So people shouldn’t be worried that now I’m Mr. Peace, or whatever. [laughs] If you listen to the lyrics, I’m actually - I was actually in a place of war, not peace, just total inner struggle and decadence. I was just exasperated and longing for some kind of escape from that sort of lifestyle. So the song is actually not coming from a place of peace at all.}}|Band commentary|<ref>[[Recording History - Page 15|Weezer Recording History - Page 15]]</ref>}}
