This man is probably the most underrated songwriter on planet earth.

[@bebaholmes2653]

I agree. The most talented artist in my opinion, and not just now, but for many generations 😊

[@BarryTierney-vk3vz]

Not to say

[@user-dc1dr9kr8x]

This man lives my dreams....he is a guitar playing rock star who with his riches has purchased NWA wrestling and is returning it to glory......salute him and whatever is next

[@Amp1771]

Musician but not lyricist. His lyrics are very sophomorish

great comment

[@leifvernest]

If this song had been released in 1996, I think there would be 25 million views instead of 250,000 (if KZbin existed then). Excellent song.

[@Mithreniel]

I think you're on to something there.

Mayonaise is my favorite song of all time.

[@TheGoldDragon100]

@@jeromyperez5532 Mayonaise has a very sentimental meaning to me. i didn't realize it at first, but the lyrics had a message in them that coincided with my future, which now happens to be my past. R.I.P Sadie. I love you.

Tumbling down the middle the world survives Look out son, the air's alive Call it ether, elemental I, or ooh-ooh! dark night One magic heart to seize One little mind to ease Or, one silver drum to beat There's mountains torn from us If I'm leaving you without return or snare Catapulting through time and space You can call that home, if you wish, or if it's fair But it's mine to share and share alike Won't you mourn with me Lover won't you mourn with me Lovers won't you mourn with me Fallin' cross the middle the world survives Look out son, the air's alive Call it ether elemental I, or ooh-ooh! dark nights One magic kite to fly One little life to light Or, one silver eye to eye, ooh There's mountains born of us If I'm leaving you without return or snare Catapulting through time and space You can call that home, if you wish, or if it's fair But it's mine to share and share alike Won't you mourn with me Lover won't you mourn with me Hey, lovers won't you mourn with me

This song could have come out in the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s,80’s, 90’s.......2018 and still hit you the same. It has this timeless feel to me. Beautiful and haunting.

[@frankanderson4113]

This is a gorgeous song. Billy is always just one song away from "Wow".

[@randompiano]

You're such a hidden gem Billy. Not many people make me wanna write a song after hearing their work

[@candicecase7629]

This song is beautiful. It often gets stuck in my head and I have no problem with that.

[@williambillycorganprivate]

Hello Luckiest fan !!😍 I appreciate you for your continuos love, I’m glad you never stop supporting me .. feel free to contact me through email address on the description of the channel❤❤❤

[@Ty1350]

I had the privilege of seeing Billy perform this live... he's honestly so damn talented. I feel like sometimes talent is lost on the listener behind all the distortion and crazy effects of many genres, so you just have to look deeper. All it took was for Billy to play some acoustic instruments to really change the way I view his work and music in general.

[@happyguy9809]

So true. I've never seen drake play an instrument.

[@deathmetalpotato]

His name ain't Billy nigga

[@Ty1350]

The title of this video says Billy...

[@nicholsjoshua15]

The talent ain't lost on me, who else can write a lyric like "I my mind the sky was blue, high above the clouds. The children laughed and coughed up soot and died of happiness!"

[@Ty1350]

Well of course I know that musicians are good at what they do but seeing someone play their instrument in person is really a different experience

[@bustinbass78]

This man is a genius on many levels. What a beautiful soul. The rest of us are indebted to this man for what he has given us.

He has clearly ridden on a sunbeam from across the cosmos, and brought with him Windows XP screensavers xD.

This is going to be the 1st album I have bought in 15 years.

[@Soldmysoulforablurayplayer]

For a long time, I went through a dark patch where I was not interested in music so have missed so much. I will check it out. Thank you.

[@kmfdm10392]

The entire album is fantastic. You won't be disappointed.

[@Soldmysoulforablurayplayer]

Sams Town by The Killers

[@KM-ns1bm]

AA Qayan omg..I also hit that dark patch when music did not interest me. Bumping into a few artists at the airport, I became inspired again, realizing our greats from the 90's have died. The few we have left are creating. Proof in this vid. Loss of family prompted me to music also. I have heard 3 musicians state in interviews they are more inspired when in a depressed state. Enjoy the music again..welcome home

[@KM-ns1bm]

I needed this so much, didn't know it until I heard it. Great artists bring something fresh with each stage of life. It's okay to love the classics from Smashing Pumpkins- they were amazing. I appreciate the perspective Billy (William) has brought to his listeners. It's hard to put into words- but it was a gift sent from above as far as I'm concerned.

[@derranthefunnyguy]

This is wonderful, it feels so nice to hear that voice again, glad it's stayed the same over the years

[@kevinrahill4324]

I've seen the Pumpkins over a dozen times. I just saw Billy on this solo tour two nights ago at the Herbst in San Francisco. Other than the two shows I was fortunate to see in July 2007 during the Pumpkins' "residency" at The Fillmore, this was the best Corgan led show I have seen. 1st set is Ogilala in full, 2nd set is a mix of Pumpkins, Zwan, covers, etc. All on acoustic guitar or piano (with some impressive harmonica), no accompaniment, just Billy. Go see this tour, it is truly incredible.

[@KM-ns1bm]

Kevin Rahill so excited Billy/ William, is inspired. I will check out show too.

[@clintc9813]

What a sign of the times. This Legend's Vevo just under 7k subs. And then there are countless quite pointless channels with millions of subs. Go figure.

[@june8898]

Clint C so true

[@sto620]

What a gorgeous piece of music. Billy’s talent still shines brightly.

[@BryanPopeProductions]

One of my favorite songs on Ogilala (Zowie and Mandarynne are also very very beautiful), it's so nice hearing your voice be a bit more tender again, I guess this is a good mix of your "technically correct" vocals you've been doing since Zwan and the emotionally touching imperfect old style. I'm still hoping for a full return circa MCIS/Adore but I respect whatever path you and your sound choose to go down. This video is quite pretty and interesting. Thank you for more undeserved gifts to humanity Mr. Corgan.

[@KM-ns1bm]

Bryan Pope well said. It's obvious Billy wants to be recognized for new material and not live in the past. I've heard him discuss this issue of being creative, keeping up in today's times, evolving. It's a challenge i suppose for the artists from my fav genre, Alt Rock 90s,to feel authentic and sincere while presenting an image. Thus far, we've had amazing talent, but have lost too many artists to depression and addiction. Maybe it's supposed to be that way..it just is

[@jenolsen446]

Beautiful.

[@EvesRevenge]

Your essence shines so loudly in your lyrics, the melodies, your misunderstood persona, and it has resonated with this girl since you serenaded my wake up one morning on my clock radio in late summer of 1995, my 1st yr of law school and living in Chicago....I cannot pick the perfect words to even describe it....I've never woke up so euphorically peaceful...1979 played and I didn't move until the song ended, almost like a dream you were aware you were in, but didn't want that awareness to end the space you were in....timeless, existential, and it never has happened again to me. So thank you. I have been enjoying your gifts thru your music ever since. 💞

[@secretsoftheages6136]

That took me back to the Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness 1st Track absolutely beautiful. I felt like I was reliving my youth listening to this. pressing play on the cd player and being taken into a whole new musical universe. Mr Corgan you've restored my faith in music, once again.

Your essence just resonates in your melodies and music 🎶 you have swooned me with it ever since I heard 1979 in 1996 on my alarm clock radio waking me up one day for my 1st yr of law school, in the most peaceful and angelic way that brought me comfort, Like I've never felt. I appreciate you so much, keep spreading that gift of a feeling my luv.

[@chrisothoulos]

WPC should be named up there with the greats, like Springsteen, Bowie, etc... With the quality, diversity, quantity of work he has put out. I'm sick that he gets disrespected like he does. SP should be in the HOF like yesterday.

[@KevinStudent]

About two months ago I first heard this song and thought it was okay, almost leaning to disliking it. But it crept up on me, and I kept on feeling like listening to it. At this point, I've listened to it about 4-5 a day for the last couple weeks. What a beautiful piece of music.

[@laziam5779]

@FAST & BULBOUS couldn't agree more, I used to sometimes find his music jarring the first couple of listens but something always draws you back in. Like you need to understand his songs as whole and they just get better and better
