The Smashing Pumpkins - The Everlasting Gaze (Official Music Video)

[@72fresh92]

All these years later and that chorus still makes the hairs on my neck stand up, epic, emotional, pure Pumpkins.

[@blackred474]

so true man

[@MsPalaa]

Yes! I'm still suprised at how deeply I feel their music after many years. I started listening to them when I was 12 or 13 (older brother listened to them and therefore so would I and ended up liking them), now I'm almost 30 and there's still new layers and feelings that come to me, because with new experiences and years it still changes how I interpret their songs, so it never gets old, I'll hopefully get to live many years more so I can experience even more with their music :3

Each album is so unique

[@kristopherryanwatson]

@@MrAngryTwinkie it's true, and that is one of the factors that has helped them age well compared to a few of their contemporizes who have done the same album over again, only to have faded away years ago. even Billy's solo stuff wasn't considered the best of his work at the time, but now those albums are considered both underrated and integral as part of his growth as a musician which has reinforced the power of SP as his strongest outlet.

[@sarahcasey2415]

I feel this is why every album from the original 91-00 run seems under-rated except for SD wich is correctly hailed almost universally as a masterpiece. To me like...people just wanted that album over and over and because they never got it they turned even though MCIS was the biggest. I dunno. I just like to muse about SP

Jonas Akerlund directed this video and all the Try, Try, Try Film (and music video). He eventually directed the film “Spun” as his first film directorial debut. It stars Brittany Murphy, Mickey Rourke, Jason Schwartzman, John Leguizamo & Mena Suvari (and more). The film is a darkly comedic and totally believable glance into the world of methamphetamine addicts… for about a week… Various characters storylines are believable. It’s a great film, and not as depressing as Requiem for a Dream, or some other drug films. Spun has a comedic tone at times

[@Cha-Cha_7]

@@alukuhito You are right, my funny comment wasn't complete. Because this is very important for everyone's life, let me briefly explain my thought. I remember when that record came out (because I didn't hear the record before my brother bouth it and played it in his getho blaster): 1- the return of Jimmy (You can easily differentiate Jimmy Chamberlin's unique drumming style vs for instance that Aronoff guy) 2- Melissa Auf der Maur joining the band when that record came out (she's from Montréal, plays very well, has a very beautiful voice and after her time with the Smashing Pumpkins her carreer simply expanded and did awesome collaborations ) 3- suspensions dots meaning there is a succession of other events related to the moment that record came out (At that moment in my life I was starting to develop a taste in music and SP became a band I couldn't stop listening to. I had my first sexual experiences approximately during these times. Moved to another city, changed school. Etc)

[@deathkampdrone]

Super underrated Pumpkins tune. Love that shift from heavy riffing into MBV-esque chorus. Also, what a comeback single it was. I had completely given up on them after Adore, but then this came out of the blue - Jimmy was back, and thriving! And let's face it, Melissa was the absolute best possible replacement for D'arcy too. The Pumpkins were back!

@@thetechwookie Billy recruited Melissa to step in for the tours for Machina. At that point it was already decided the band would end after those tours.

Theres a lengthy interciew on KZbin where she talks among other things about her Pumpkin years saying she got paid much better money there compared to being in Hole.

That’s a combination of chorus and de tune. The chorus makes several copies of what’s played, and some of those guitar “copies” (they’re really called voices” are raised and lowered slightly out of perfect pitch. The end result is that lush, full and shimmering sound.

지금도 너무 여전히 새련된 사운드와 비주얼.. 2024년에도 독보적인 귀호강 합니다.

[@vegascatrescue335]

Really one of the most intense songs they've ever written. The drums are insane!

[@cfcollares]

The textures of the chorus send me to a special place.

[@maurojunior9796]

This Chorus always make me chill

[@keysersoze9511]

i love this album

[@spaceburger80]

Heavy AF. That ginormo-monstrous bass! Jimmy’s deathklok time keeping. And the riff!

[@anselmoufc]

This song is just like a punch in the stomach. Heavier than many "heavy" stuff.

[@FrxBass]

3:46 to 3:53 the drumming is just amazing damn

[@akahige8967]

you mean 0:00 to 4:02

[@bradsullivan2298]

Yeah that Jimmy is a real pro! Crashing the china on open hi hats at 0:15 is great stuff!

[@martyhuggins3530]

billy will never get the credit he deservers

[@JustKJ109]

Exactly you can't even put a capitol B on his name. 😂

Machina was a magnificent album - those Pumpkins are always surprising me - I remember blasting this track out on my car stereo - the layering on this song is simply gorgeous - the energy is off the scale.... You know I'm, you know I'm not dead I'm just the tears inside your head Forever waiting on the ways of your desire You always find a way And through it all, into us all you move Forgotten touch, forbidden thought We can never, ever know You know I'm not dead We all want to hold in the everlasting gaze Enchanted in the rapture of his sentimental sway But underneath the wheels lie the skulls of every cog The fickle fascination of an everlasting God

[@dylanvaz4802]

This is one of my favorite music videos ever made

[@ROONTANG]

The change at 0:54 is amazing.

[@rv3571]

[@ViniciusFfreytag]

+MIR Ther's nothing about The Smashing Pumpkins that's not amazing. lol

[@JasonHuynhGoogle]

That transition for life

[@cgbhc6667]

I love how SP just dropped a Metal jam that completely flew of fans heads and ended the song with one of the most HeadBangable moments ever. A beautiful hidden gem.

[@stevenf5902]

Jimbo JDM YES

[@SysPoppy]

my favorite of all Pumpkins tunes, and I truly love them all.

[@amandaspaintinglessons9908]

Dang. My first time hearing this, tried it on a whim and it way exceeded expectations. This is magnificent.

[@delnajamusic]

21 years ago I think I called 100 times in one day to the local radio to play this song...

[@Roti_Gardenia]

..aaand now with the advancement of human techs, thanks to the internet. hehe

[@David-zo7to]

Damn, Billy always finds the hottest bass players.

[@Onmysheet]

And best!

[@rsunside9950]

Agree with ya, both D'arcy and Melissa r amazin

[@RobertLiera]

She's mine? all mine! God dammit!!🤘😎

[@unknownkingdom]

Now the bass player is a man

[@roymarius1634]

The children might never ever know... Jimmy Chamberlain was/is the most naturally talented rock-drummer of the 90s, and that by a wide margin.

[@longoneday000]

Coming back to it after years feels great, machina the machines of god is a really underrated album from the Pumpkins, although I liked it at the time, at 14 I couldn't understand its greateness...jimmy's drums are insane, hello?

[@fabrizziocazzador3210]

"The Everlasting Gaze" You know I'm not dead Now you know where I've been As you sleep Torn I am Weighted down Patiently Born of love You know I'm not dead I'm just living in my head Forever waiting On the ways of your desire You always find a way And thru it all Into us all you move Forgotten touch Forbidden thought We can never have enough You know I'm not dead Found below The creatures scream Stranglehold A god machine Begging to Tear us out Worn as hope You know I'm not dead I'm just the tears inside your head Forever waiting On the ways of your desire You always find a way And thru it all into us all you move Forgotten touch Forbidden thought We can never have enough You know I'm not dead We all want to hold in the everlasting gaze Enchanted in the rapture of his sentimental sway But underneath the wheels lie the skulls of every c.o.g. The fickle fascination of an everlasting god You know I'm not dead I'm just living in my head Forever waiting Forever waiting on cruel death You know I'm not dead I'm just living for myself Forever waiting You know I'm not dead

[@itookallthenames]

I always thought it was skulls of every cop

[@eg8593]

He says "wings" of your desire" bro!👍

[@solongsuicide9]

I thought it was weight of your desire. It doesn't really matter. Ways/weight/wings are all good & work with the song lyrics. I think wings works best. It's "And through it all", though. Thru is not even a word. If you copy // pasted this from Google, they accepted my correction, recently. Hooray. 🎉

[@spacewombat6174]

Pure poetry!!

[@fmedher83]

21 años después supe la letra. Chale. No estoy muerto

Machina was something special.

[@bpundt1094]

I wish they could’ve released a full album of songs this style. I love their music but they had such a good hard rock sound. Everything new is so soft

[@ContactingTheDead]

*One of the best Smashing Pumpkins songs!*
