Smashing Pumpkins Drown (full, better quality)

[@jreqthek9]

Prior to 2015, I had only ever heard the four-and-a-half-minute version of this song from the band's Rotten Apples compilation album. So I always thought that's how long the song was. So one night, I'm driving out of town and listening to an unfamiliar rock station on the radio, and then this song comes on. And when it gets to the end... it just keeps going. I actually pulled over to the side of the road and listened to the rest of the guitar solo, completely entranced. I cannot put into more words what hearing the rest of this song for the first time was like. Mind-blowing.

[@jcbarker1]

This was the first song of theirs I remember hearing-and it was this version, only found on the Singles soundtrack back in like 1992 or something. It was the last song on the CD and it blew every other song on there out of the water. Still a favorite all these years later.

[@richardcaross792]

Well said sir. Just heard this an hour ago and cannot stop ,, this version is Awesome. MASTERPIECE

[@jayburton6553]

Beautiful... They actually DID play this on the radio back in the 90s, but it was short version. I would always feel so... disappointed they cut off the rest of the song. We didn't realize it then, but the 90s were a truly magical time.

[@svartmetall]

@@jcbarker1 " it blew every other song on there out of the water." I'd say it was a tie between this and Soundgarden's 'Birth Ritual', but yes...this is just awesome.

[@fuckweedMegafayce]

I used to have this on bootleg years ago, like when I was 16… I listened to it over that summer, I was doing exams. It had this version and Starla back to back and for that 20 minutes or whatever, it was such a trip. Always takes me back to that time, some 25+ years later

[@ApexAuto01]

Boycott any advertiser that interrupts this masterpiece

[@partycakes456]

I was 15, sitting in my brother's '84 GTI and we got to the end of the Singles soundtrack and this song made me feel completely alive. I will always love this song, and the journey I had with the Smashing Pumpkins in my younger days. Still destroys and breathes life into me every time.

[@DanielReyes-zu8em]

I don’t know how the pumpkins aren’t widely recognized to be at least one of the top 10 bands of all time. Amazing guitarist, drummer, and lyricist. The original pumpkins together had the ability to make damn near every song catchy and immediately attention-grabbing yet deep and powerful as well. No other music catalogue can move me so much. There’s just an other-worldly quality to it. Songs like Porcelina or Soma for example are just amazing

[@KingBlonde]

Because the music industry is run by old people who sneer at anything that isn't wank rock or easy listening. If SP had a conventionally better vocalist they'd be more recognised. They'll have their time one day though.

[@greyrinnon5907]

Perfectly stated. TRUTH.

[@chocomanger6873]

I think they are.

[@CaptnHowdy67]

Speaking of, Soma's were quite amazing while listening to the pumpkins.. At least that's what I have been told.. 😆

[@CaptnHowdy67]

I can remember moving to Atlanta at 18 yo from a small town in Louisiana. After a night of tripping and spending the night at my best friends karate studio, I awoke and went out to the car and turned on the radio and then something that changed my life forever happened. I heard a song that blew my mind on a radio station that was left on the dial and right on the music Album WRAS Atlanta 88.5.. The song was called institutionalized by the suicidal tendencies. From there on it was all alternative for me then and now.

[@shawn_530]

I remember being blown away hearing this on the Singles soundtrack when it first came out. It burns my biscuits that it’s impossible to find this full version on any streaming service

You are not alone. Breathe.” And I keep breathing, even when it has been hard to, or to want to.

[@dafriendlyghost]

Why? I mean people still use psychical instruments, but even when they don’t it’s cause it’s not really needed. Using physical drums when your not even going for that sound? And you can program some. Producing is just as hard as other stuff, to play synth really well people still use piano techniques. Guitar is still used, hell Travis Scott uses guitars in his stuff. People gotta advance, having a huge band with people always using physical instruments can be unnecessarily hard sometimes.

My first concert was the Pumpkins in Oklahoma City. It was 1996 I think. Garbage opened for them and they had just released their first single. I was about 12 then and the concert was but a fuzzy memory until I got to college and found a bootleg of the show. It was amazing. They actually played this song at the show and made it last well over ten minutes. I think they combined it with the Aeroplane Flies High which is an epic b-side song in of itself.

[@jonwainwrightiii934]

creekandseminole Love it when you go to live show and hear new songs, then when you listen to the album, it takes you right back to that moment you first heard it in a musty, sweat perfumed club. Cool, story, same thing happened to me with the NOFX "I heard they suck live", in 95' I believe, just happened to be at the show they used for their live album.

[@creekandseminole]

Jonny Crash Nice. I've only seen NOFX once and that was Warped tour 2006 I think. It was in Dallas. They were the last band to play and it was over 100 degrees all day. It started raining when they got on stage and they had to stop. Fat Mike then told us they were only allowed to play three songs, so he then started the opening chords to the Decline and we all went nuts. Funny to how the crowd were mostly people my age and older at the time which was 20 lol.

[@jonwainwrightiii934]

You gotta see'em in a more intimate venue. Like any small club, not too familiar with te Dallas scene, been years since playing there, but I'm sure NOFX plays them in Dallas. It's a whole different ball game, to be up close and personal with the band. Too bad you didn't get to see the Decline init's entirety. They seem to play snippets of it a lot. I thought the Decline was revolutionary when I first heard it. It reminded me of the Grateful and how they would blend one song into the next, but NOFX's more complex, it's almost as if you're weaving in out of 4 different songs for 20 minutes. Poor Smelly has to be fucking burnt out at the end of that song when it's done live. Good Luck, and go See'em in a tighter venue, you won't be disappointed. J. Crash

[@MrPapito101]

Frode-A. Fausa best comment on here

[@SadPeterPan1977]

Frode-A. Fausa Agreed. The worst mistake Corgan ever made (other than alienating his bandmates) was to believe he was a good producer. He's got all the necessary skills but without Vig or even Flood there's been no one to tell him when he's killing a good song through overproduction.

[@Fauss]

+SadPeterPan1977 Sry Peter, but the big difference is BETWEEN Vig and Flood.. It went from "the pumpkins sound" to normal sound. I'm not having a dig at Flood, it's just that SP lost their sound with Butch Vig. Please listen to Gish and Siamese Dream. And compare the sound to Mellon Collie..

[@throckmorton.iscariot]

+Frode-A. Fausa That was the point. They've always aimed for a different sound each album. Mellon Collie, Adore, and Machina were all meant to be polar opposites of their previous work. They're produced much better than Gish and Siamese Dream, in my opinion. Butch is more for grunge bands. He didn't suit SP well. The only thing that Billy and Butch had in common was perfectionism.

[@tbah00]

Part Jimi Hendrix, part Pink Floyd, a beautiful combination that was the Smashing Pumpkins up through '94 which was coincidentally the final year that 'alternative' was truly that. By '95 it was a formula and quickly sucked.

[@RichardSmithloves]

Very true.

[@treyrhodes1526]

I strongly disagree. The pumpkins may have changed in sound but change is part of what makes an artist. If they stayed the same their whole career they might as well should have changed their name to AC/DC

[@tbah00]

Trey Rhodes Whoa, wait a second! Re-read my comment please and don't take it out of it's context. In no way did I disrespect the Smashing Pumpkins but somehow you managed to twist what I said and use it to disrespect an un-related band that is in no way relevant to the Smashing Pumpkins or my comment, whether you like AC/DC or not. I was talking about 'alternative' music, not the Smashing Pumpkins sound, to make it perfectly clear for you. What in sam hell does AC/DC have to do with...huh?!?

[@tbah00]

tbah00 Oh wait, he's another KZbin troll who just started a junk email account today (8/2/15) in order to express his opinion without a shred of courage or credentials. Never mind.

Panoramica Testo Risultati principali No matter where you are I can still hear you when you drown You traveled very far Just to see you I'll come around Wen I'm down All of those yesterdays Coming down No matter where you are I can still hear you when you dream You traveled very far You traveled far like a star And you are All of those yesterdays Coming down Is it something someone said? Was it something someone said? Yesterday the sky was you And I still feel the same Nothing left for me to do And I still feel the same I wish, I wish, I could fly I wish, I wish, I could lie I will, I will try I will, I will, goodbye
