Billy Corgan - By Starlight live @ Madame Zuzu’s 02/06/2022

[@Littleboyfatman45]

Incredibly dense and immersive, dark and deep, but still sweet and warm. Damn I love The Pumpkins.

[@chuffa1130]

When this came out on the double album I thought this was the best song, that was completely underrated. The studio version has a haunting ghostly guitar part

[@BobConanOwen]

Yes! That intro is something else ….

[@davidhumphrey7874]

Let's be honest every song on Mellon Collie is underrated. Lol. That album is perfection.

[@InTheDecay]

Agreed, James' part is so eerie and creates a really nice ambience for the song to glide. One of the best songs on Mellon Collie.

[@marthasparks6927]

The whole album is good, it can make you cry and parts can make you rage. I had a five disc cd player and I'd put both in and never wanted to skip a song.

[@theshuriken]

@@BobConanOwen till to this day i keep wondering whats the effect / pedal been used for the intro, been asking around in forums and youtube comments and no luck yet

[@jonnywishbone17]

Once I got over the fact that Billy looks ancient, which also means I'm old, I really enjoyed his performance

[@nderohan]

Do you think people don't age??

[@jonnywishbone17]

@@nderohan yes, but Eddie Vedder looks 55, Billy looks 65

[@DisguisedOGOffical]

I feel you, even at 30 years old seeing his greys makes me feel old lol

[@KevinsDisobedience]

Yeah, Eddie still looks rock n roll, doesn’t he? Billy looks like some guy you’d see at an AA meeting or something.

[@USAlien234]

Same brother. I kept staring at that grey beard until I finally came to peace with it. Then I enjoyed this beautiful song with a melancholy heart. Fitting I suppose.

[@BobConanOwen]

The intro to the original recording is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I’ve ever heard in my life …

[@AnyMomInAmerica]

His voice is still incredible. This must have been so awesome to get to see live.

[@bigrig4385]

He seems like he has more control over his voice than he's ever had. Wish I was there!

[@whathappenedtoearth6495]

I'd pay $200 for a predominantly acoustic concert for sure. Some of his other hits would be great to hear again, but his acoustic stuff is the best imho. For me anyway :)

[@whathappenedtoearth6495]

This song carried me though some of the most painful emotions and memories of my youth. Tears welled up as Mr. Corgan started singing just now. Still grounding me after all these years. Thanks Billy you beautiful soul! ❤

[@l.g.5899]

Still a masterpiece, bravo Billy!

[@kbcarpetbag7386]

Greatest love song ever,I love you pumpkin,please remember the good times, button xxxx.

[@willzsportscards]

love song? Lyrics are really dark actually, listen closely.

[@Simon-gh4it]

One of the most beautiful songs of all time❤

[@gobostrips3289]

this made me feel emotions im not ready to feel

[@LARESISTENZA]

❤

[@myownjojo]

By starlight I'll kiss you And promise to be your one and only I'll make you feel happy And leave you to be lost in mine And where will we go And what will we do? Soon said, I, will know And are you just like me? Dead eyes, dead eyes Are you just like me? Her eyes, her eyes Were as vacant as the seas, yeah Dead eyes, dead eyes And are you just like me? And all along We knew we'd carry on Just to belong By starlight I know you As lovely as a wish granted true My life has been empty My life has been untrue And does she really know, who I really am? And does she really know me at last And are you just like me? Dead eyes, dead eyes Are you just like me? Her eyes, her eyes Were as vacant as the seas, yeah Dead eyes, dead eyes Are you just like me? And are you just like me? And are you just like me? And are you just like me?

[@noisebleed1980]

one of my favorites! Such a legend song writer!

[@user-xd6xx7wt1j]

90s beautiful trippy music

[@daviddurango7311]

It takes reaching deep into the soul, far away in a special place to write such a beautiful song. I've always admired Billy for his ability to do that repeatedly.

[@greje656]

God he nailed it.

[@heardinthemusic]

Billy still feeling the deep Mellon Collie tracks... What an epic double disc/B sides.. Amazing...

[@Nicop2227]

It's a masterpiece.

[@VastOceanCommuter]

I didn’t think he can hit those high notes anymore. Wow. This song is so good. Songs during this era had so much passionate.

[@cass2303]

I think he's ever better now

[@thomasduffin6342]

This right here is why the second album is perfect from start to end.

[@friendship6668]

Simply magnificent

[@knifeduckandsleepahh]

I’m in love with Billy

[@Nicop2227]

I'm in love with Billy's lyrics and music.

[@sunnyd6019]

Songs like this show just how deep a soul Billy is/was. Amazing song as are all his.

[@TheJimmyikki]

I've always loved this song

[@dirkschaelicke5233]

[@spotthedod]

Nice job William

Has anyone got a link to this tab? Thanks

[@unsavedchanges5977]

Could somebody please tell me what guitar that is, and if the star is custom only. I am looking everywhere for it

[@gogulusss]

[@getficked2022]

Thx for the uploads

[@StizzyGS]

What are the chords he’s playing? Different than what I’ve been playing for years!

[@jixxxxer17]

Wow just Wow , anyone know the tuning he is using here ? Thanks !

[@simius.]

it's a full step down

[@jixxxxer17]

Thanks, Thank You @@simius.

[@simius.]

@@jixxxxer17 no problem! :)

[@paolosamba]

what is the tune of the guitare ??

[@kalannorman3275]

I'm wondering the same thing. I know a lot of SP songs are in E flat. The only chords I've found for this song are c cmaj7 Gm F. He's clearly playing something different here but I'm not sure what

[@MrCoffeekelly]

Half step down then drop the high e string another full step down.

[@saiimonlv5748]

he is using his guitar in E flat tuning, also he's playing this version with D - Dmaj7 - Am - G chords, which is the same but two frets up than C

[@NeonPixels81]

Hearing Billy Corgan sing with vibrato is just so strange, usually when rockers age, their voice naturally loses a bit, but with Corgan it seems like the exact opposite.

[@sirajatega]

; _ ; big sad coming

[@juanitaalvarez8526]

I want to know how the hell artists memorize their own song lyrics. Especially when they have a ton of songs.

[@leob4403]

Rehearsal probably. I mean on any given tour there is a given setlist that is rehearsed. Having said that, they are born to be songwriters which probably means they are better than the average person at remembering their own lyrics. Think about your own art, you might have some stories that you usually tell people that you have rehearsed

[@Nicop2227]

I believe if you write it yourself, you're going to have a much easier time memorizing your own words/lyrics. It's your story. See where I'm coming from?

[@birdman7083]

Sounds like if you would grab a chicken by the neck to cut it’s head off but suddenly decides to start signing

[@Nicop2227]

I bet you have sold over 15 million albums. Created over ten studio albums, and you're definitely still selling out those venues too. Bravo. (Sidenote: I'm extremely sarcastic.)

[@birdman7083]

​@@Nicop2227 None of that is needed to sound like a screaming chicken :)

[@racerx5379]

Disappointed 😢 love this song and billy but this version made me feel uncomfortable. Its ok .
