Smashing Pumpkins - Soot and Stars

[@esperthebard]

It just blows my mind how many songs SP/Billy Corgan have written and recorded over the years. They are my all-time favorite band, and I still find rare gems like this one from time to time. What an absolute treasure.

[@basssuper9]

this song is at another level. only few people like us........

[@junep.7523]

"A child is who I'll die" ...the infinite beauty of a poet speaking with open heart.

[@OrangeSpaceboy]

This song is pure poetry. I believe the lyrics are the best I've heard in a song. I mean it's so beautiful...

[@DreamMrSandman]

oh my god this is one of my favorite pumpkins songs and I've been waiting for forever for someone to get it up on youtube. Thank you

[@Thirdeyeddeer]

i love this song, so calm and beautiful, with a amazing lyric.

[@EduardoCastrilloncl]

Come on, we want this one in Spotify!

[@runrabbit8285]

I love Neptilius WPC

[@bringthedarth]

I often speak of you, but the you is always me Cause when I speak of me, it's me I ask of you So let there be no truth, just trickery in rhymes Time the only thing, waiting still as death

[@Mac_987]

my all time favorite SP song, thank you for uploading this! It's a shame this song wasn't officially released. This song confirms the fact that Billy is the worst horrible song selector for an official album release

[@HotaruMimiuchi]

I'm so glad someone loaded this song. I love this song so much, probly my favorite SP song. I wore this track out on my cd that it won't play anymore. D:

[@wretchedromance666]

That's a true Pisces for you... we're very magical and talented creatures when it comes to Art & Music. We just "know" what to create... it's such a blessing.

[@zerosoma33]

Cancer here. Up to 936 songs I've written. But if I were Pisces people would probably know them, lol.

[@8tol3s3]

i love his songs that grow with the lyrics,the piano jus plays over and over and his lyrics distort its beauty...thirty three he did the same with,and best video they ever did.

[@kustommaid3]

i love the open road and all that it suggests....perfect

[@f1lth]

a child is who i was a child is who i'll die... Jose

[@sillyhumans1]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh such a beautiful meaningfull song of of a soul whos lived

[@shblck222]

this is amazingly beautiful; would've been perfect on "mellon collie"...a lot of their b-side songs have become favorites of mine: cherry, ugly, the infinite sadness...and now this lovely gem...

[@LigerMan95]

Absolutely beautiful this is

[@frangeorge]

the heart is pointed down but my spirit pointed up.... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa mi favoritaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@degas5000]

love this song, and it holds up as a poem... makes me wonder what the fuckkkk he was thinking when he penned that completely bogus poetry book

[@mrtomisatom8726]

So much love for this track.

[@runrabbit8285]

Yess all these years laTerrr

[@MisterDevolution]

Yes, all wonderful songs, especially Blessd and Gone

[@nick101984]

This is a great song, even if it does make me want to blow my brains out!

[@danzai]

love this track too, it sounds unique and still good

[@ashbadabada]

my favourite band of all time !

[@MisterDevolution]

Thanks...I found it on Amazon a few months ago in a collection that costs 50 bucks, so I'm really hoping it will be included in one of the upcoming re-issues

[@stromzo06]

Really haunting!

[@tteu123]

This song is fantastic.

[@raw_pc]

Can’t find this song on Spotify nor Apple Music... that sucks

[@Adal_other]

!!la mejor de todas la canciones!!1 !!!con ella sueño pienso y me exilio!!1

[@GreetTheSacredCow]

Argh. Nothing in the world conjures such nostalgia as the Pumpkins of old. :'(

[@Spiralminds]

Ffs this is God in music form.

[@MissPurestFeeling]

Has anybody got the piano score of this wonderful song? I really need it but around the net there are only guitar tabs..:(

[@seviren]

this song reminds me of being in music class high and putting it up through netphoria and reading the confessions, so long ago... drinking strawberry wine

[@nicholsjoshua15]

@shblck222 You may want to listen to Blessed And Gone, Set The Ray To Jerry, Stellar, Speed Kills, Frail And Bedazzled, and Pissant.

[@Sebastian0093]

que buena cancion! me encanta!

[@Esmie5988]

great song

[@lukaszkrawiec]

very very very gooood

[@agostinhocoelho4072]

billy corgan finally defeats himself with this song.pure billy corgan.

[@BlaqueCzar]

a child is who i was a child is who i'll die.

[@NoHeartAnthony]

@shblck222 I can't see it working on Mellon Collie. Doesn't even fit Adore that well. This is certainly a one-off, and I love it. Not for the fair-weather Pumpkins fan though.

[@sisinki]

absofuckinlutely agree!

[@MisterDevolution]

Neither a B-Side or an unreleased song...it was released on a B-Side collection..."The Aeroplane" I think, but was never actually a B-side...I'm hoping it will be included in the Melon Collie Re-issue

[@MrBooklearn]

Sounds like Machina, "Glass and Ghost Children" just before BC's voice gets distorted.

[@MisterDevolution]

Always been one of my favorites. Beautiful poetry Billy created for this one. And yet the song never made it on any album. IS THIS A B-SIDE OR JUST AN UNRELEASED SONG?

[@Somarose]

umm look at billy's subpar solo album. that should tell you right there that he needs bandmembers to tell him what sucks and what doesn't

[@jimbobskullduggery1749]

Well my friend, 4 years later and Jimmy's gone too. In this light, what do you think of the new album? I think its great. And Mike Byrne is a great find as a drummer. 22 y.o. fark...

[@briarrose29]

This will always be my favorite SP song. Sigh...

[@terciopelochacal]

darcy and james,,,,come back plz

[@loutiscrive]

@SinnerChild93: meravigliosa vero?!!!?!

[@Sebastian0093]

genial.

[@sisinki]

yeah, please, do, I´ll be forever grateful :) and then post a response playing my piano :)

[@bloodflan]

@mrdrstandrew Rumoured to be Neil Young

[@limbobbins]

holy shit that's some good lyrics. I'm assuming its from the song... i havent really listened to the words

[@sisinki]

i wish somebody put the piano sheet on ebay...or youtube "how to play"...i need to learn it, pleeeeaaaseee, no i am not that talented to catch it by ear :(

[@Somarose]

save yourself sweetie

[@sisinki]

I´m looking for piano sheets for this one!!! If anyone knew where...thank you

[@tritonol]

Is there a face in the dark I see?

[@tbonepat11]

I spent a couple hours figuring it out and can play it on piano. Really only 2 sections. Email me and maybe I can put it on Finale/Sibelius and email it to you. Great song.

[@aussiekickinback]

it is a b side off rotten apples. awesome song...

[@Mike-jp1hc]

What's that like

[@abit667]

Does anyone have a piano score for this???

[@NoHeartAnthony]

@Flayprime lol salad fingers has been ripping off b0lly's style since the Machina era

[@Somarose]

yes, it is a great song :D at least we can agree on something!! seriously no bad blood, just i really wanted to like them this time around... but i don't like the new lyrics and the music is mediocre at best. maybe their next album will be better. here's to hoping!!

[@Somarose]

well i'm glad someone can apapreciate it, but if you listen to the old stuff, even before MCIS... it's 100 times better. i mean p iscariot, essentially a b sides album, runs circles around the new stuff. i've been a fan since '93, seen them 18 times live, met billy 3 times... don't get the wrong idea and think i like sum 41. i just have the capacity to critize something i know well.

[@Somarose]

i miss the old pumpkins... the new shit sucks and believe me, I really wanted to like it. :(

[@Biri747]

a child is who i was a child is who i'll die
