Neil has some of the greatest lines in songwriting. "Thinking about what a friend had said, I was hoping it was a lie" goes through my head all the time.

Fell in love with Billy Corgan's voice back when I was about 15 and I'm almost 40 and I still love his voice as much, if not more, than I ever did.

[@bonniegeppert3912]

So Beautiful. Billy did that song justice!!!

[@quinnrollen]

I had my doubts- But it's actually very good!

[@robertwiesler381]

A very good cover of one of the best songs ever written

[@johnschober1819]

Love Howard Stern

Ive recently been in in love with this song. This timing was perfect!

[@TheBent139]

Billy is very under appreciated.

[@OfTheUSSEnterprise]

Billy’s voice is phenomenal.

Been a fan of Mr Corgans since ‘92. Couldn’t give a damn if the bandwagon top 40 fans are still into his music or not, this dude is one of the greatest songs writers of my time. He always does a great job with cover songs as well. From the selections he choses to cover to his performance of said song. Just my two cents ✌🏻

I’m really glad I stumbled upon this video. I’ve started and stopped maybe 40 covers in Logic Pro since quarantine in March. Billy’s right about not wanting to create note for note. I need to find a way to make them personal. Loved his rendition of this song. My dad introduced me to the After the Gold Rush record when I was 8 years old. (2000) :) One of my all time favorite.

I f$#! love when Billy plays stripped down, just his voice and an acoustic guitar.

[@Jay-lr6ej]

Unique voice

Wow!! - Amazing!! I think this is why I'm a huge fan of the Pumpkins: You feel Billy's compassion through his voice! I heard the new album: CYR. Although, I'll listen to it again, I'm not a fan initially. I think they need to stick to Rock style songs! With the classic Guitar riffs of the Pumpkins and Billy's voice, they're a perfect sound! I saw them at the Warfield in SF over 5 years ago and was in awe for the entire show! They played all their classic tunes from Siamese Dream, etc. They played a perfect set. The Warfield is a small venue and the guitars and Billy's voice really projected throughout and literally blew the roof off! Fun fact: Billy even apologized for being such a Pre-Madonna over the years at the beginning of the show. They redeemed themselves for me, when I saw them headline Lollapalooza over 20 years ago, they came out wasted and played two and half songs then left the stage! I was pissed at them for this, but remained a fan because their music is so damn freakin' good!! I just wish they would keep putting out Rock style songs. Maybe it's hard for a band, such as the Pumpkins, to put out killer music consistently over time.

The singing is fine, but the guitar playing is very basic
