Across the Sea is one of the most emotionally charged songs in the entire [[Weezer]] canon.

The song's guitar solo has a relatively complex chord progression, during which the key modulates from G major to E major (the parallel major of the original key's relative minor). The following bridge remains in the key of E major, then modulates back to G for the final verse and chorus.<br><br>In a performance on the [[2005]] [[Make Believe Tour]], the song was played and a recording of it was posted on Youtube.
