A quote from Billie Corgan: "I didn’t have the guts to kill my parents, so I thought I’d get back at them through song. And rather then have an angry, angry, angry violent song I’d thought I’d write something beautiful and make them realize what tender feelings I have in my heart, and make them feel really bad for treating me like shit."

Smashing Pumpkins is another one of those bands that is part of the soundtrack of my life. Gish came out when I was in high school, but this song really blew them up (in a good way). It's beautifully written and is a very personal song. Billy Corgan doesn't have a big of an ego as he used to, but his ego back in the day is really what lead to the break up of the band up. Growing up in the 70s, 80s, and 90s was such a blessing. I grew up with some amazing music.

I feel like this band in particular kicked the door in to harder music for me... i got into tool and the metal of the 90's because i wanted more emotion! I wanted more anger! this band (and song) take up a huge part of the soundtrack of my youth. Thanks geebz!

Pity he doesn’t do it as much anymore, the most recent example I can think of is Silvery Sometimes, and he doesn’t let loose as much there. I believe he had lessons and I get it, he’s more even and can sustain longer, but i kinda miss the days his voice would crack or he’d be completely off key. His voice really gets under my skin and into my brain in a wonderful way, it’s the 5th instrument that makes them what they are.

The thing for me that makes this song so great is the differences between the two choruses - the first one has so much space, not just in terms of the instruments but in that there are 2 bars in between each line that Billy delivers - then when the second chorus finally hits, not only does it have the full weight of the arrangement, but those two bars in between each line are gone and Billy just goes straight from delivering one line into the next, creating such a sense of urgency. I've known this song for almost 30 years now and it still always hits me really hard in that second chorus - just a masterpiece of songwriting and arrangement.

This is another one I figured you'd enjoy. I agree with the others who recommended reacting to Tonight, Tonight next. If you haven't heard that tune yet, you're in for a real treat. It was a huge hit for them, and there's a reason for that. It was like the follow-up to Disarm that took string arrangements to another level, both sonically and emotionally, in my opinion. The Smashing Pumpkins wrote a lot of great songs during the 90s, but the songs by them I'd most like to see you react to are Rhinoceros Geek U.S.A. Mayonnaise *Tonight, Tonight Jellybelly Muzzle Porcelina of the Vast Oceans *Thirty-Three In the Arms of Sleep *1979 Thru the Eyes of Ruby Eye *Top priority picks

Just fyi he had a ton of help on this song. He talks alot about how he knows very little about music in general and how it operates. His lyrics are the main point of this song. The strings came much later on. This was about his childhood more than it was about the music. It was a message.

Interestingly though, as an autodidact, he has managed to accomplish quite a lot musically. He actually wrote the string arrangement for “Tonight Tonight”, and has a great natural understanding of production, melody, and harmonics.

@@TheAlibabatree very true. He isn't a layman. He knows what he's doing. Tool however is not something he pushes his own insurances into. In fact Danny build a lot of the songs your hear on Fear Inoculum. So Tool is build on the artists involved. Perfect circle and Puscifer are Maynards brain direct into yours. More appetizing if you read A perfect union of contrary things.

Really? I’m going to try that combo now. ETA- oh yes, I get it! I suggest you try a trilogy of 1979, Perfect and Silvery Sometimes, in that order. Stunning.

One of , if not, my favorite bands. What makes this single a real treat is the landslide and dancing in the moonlight tracks as well. Back when singles were sought after. Although I will admit wasn't listening to them at the time

SOMA! You will love it. A guitar gently weeps so sweetly in that tune. Mayonaise is another in that way. Some of the sweetest piano work is done on Mellon Collie & the Infinite Sadness song and a true masterpiece is Porcelina of the Vast Oceans.

One of the things I’m enjoying about going through your videos is that although you try.not to go to deep, I keep learning things. When you mentioned mouth positions, that was a springboard to go down a google rabbit hole and learn about something I had never heard of before. Thanks!

I don’t know why, listening to this song for decades, I never connected it to a similar haunting tone of Eleanor Rigby. Fantastic comparison

Great reaction. Smashing Pumpkins one of THE great American all-rounder rock bands. The String arrangement on this tune was shared between Billy Corgan, Butch Vig & the two players on Celo & Violin.

I've been listening to the Smashing pumpkins for 25+ years. The first cd I ever bought was theirs and I have heard this song more times than I can count. With that covered. Every time I hear it I still get chills. The song is so well put together and so unbelievably powerful.

here are some other smashing pumpkins must hear tracks: hummer ( many die hard fans consider this to be one of their best tracks ) thru the eyes of ruby ( another track considered to be their very best ) soma, thirty three, to shela, tonight tonight (strings) (the song: tear also has strings but it's not widely loved as much) for martha, geek usa ( riff heavy ), porcelia and the vast oceans ( epic long track ) and my personal favorite riff heavy track by the band is jellybelly.. it's a 3 min song with non stop catchy interesting guitar riffs.
