Many of us really didnt understand the beauty of our youth. At the time we mostly dreamed of hurrying and finally growing the heck up so we could do what we wanted. Now as adults we at times yearn for some of the days of our past. The first girl that ever showed any interest in me ( an ugly duckling i considered myself to be) when i was 14 was the sweetest nicest girl. I came from a rougher home without much love and I considered myself quite unlikeable. She proved to me....that someone could actually like me. She ended up being the first love of my life. Unfortunately she died a few years after it all at only the age of 18. Now decades later i still think of her and her sweet spirit. How she had to have been an angel to like a misfit like me. Especially at such a crucial developmental moment of my adolescents where acceptance and love is exactly what i needed. I can still so clearly hear her soft voice from our childhood. Sad but i try to look back at the memory more with gratitude today. I'm just glad that it ever even happened. Sending strength and positive vibes to everyone who read.

6 months ago today my dads Toyota Landcruiser was in a car accident and the car was totaled. It was a perfectly preserved 2002 that was flawless. It could have gone another 100-200 thousand miles. Losing a car is nothing like losing a person, but It makes me sad that it was the car I grew up in and my family loved very much.

The road trips, memories, and surfing adventures can never be the same.

Never forget the first time I was in a car, free of adults, and with other kids my age. Our spirits couldn't be broken, our days could not be ruined. A time of wonder, a time of awkwardness, a time of discovery was upon me and I couldn't inhale it fast enough. What a rush it was to be a young adult discovering the world. Fast forward nearly 30 years and I'm watching my kids do the same thing. Sometimes I lay in bed wishing I had a time machine.

I've had this song in my head lately, it reminds me of my mom. I remember sitting in the car in high school with her driving me wherever and smashing pumpkins would come on the radio and she'd tell me about the music videos she watched growing up. She was born in 1979, and she passed away November of 2020. It's crazy the things that can bring back memories so vividly and makes me realize just how much I miss her. What I would do to go back and go driving with her, even just for the length of one song, just to spend the time with her one more time (edit) tomorrow is the 6th of November, marking a year since she passed away, I am 20 and my sister is a couple months away from 18, I wish I could change things because this hurts so much sometimes.. I'm grateful for all the kind words, I never expected to get so many responses, and it's helped me feel a little less alone

The constitution does have something to do with it because it defends their right to make statements that the majority may find offensive. American values have not always been great in practice, simply in theory. The 60s-80s were very much against the status quo and misguiding in ways that likely led to bad decision with long term outcomes deviated from other potentials. I’m not indifferent to the CCP, but I didn’t include global affairs into a simple comment. And I don’t know you for you to assume to know me. I also don’t think everything is a conspiracy theory.

Not really. The styles are not that different from today and everything in the video is exactly what kids do today -- even with the red cups. The video has a little bit of a retro feel, but it had that same feel when it was new because it was designed to evoke 1979 without all the very groovy clothing styles from the era (except for the cops and the corner store). The car is from 1972 or 73 -- no kid was lucky enough to have a car like this when the song came out. It was retro then.

It hits subconsciously. There is a sample on repeat on each verse prior to the lyrics. Probably some obscure song from the 80's. Even the chord progression itself sounds like 80s pop stock. (Mike Parsons Project comes to mind). I never found out what it was. Sounds like someone's saying "trembling" through a Leslie or vibrato effect on low recording volume. A fluttery filter sound effect of sorts. Always was vaguely familiar, almost on the tip of my tongue, but I could never place it. Maybe that's part of the allure, knowing but on a subconscious level.

I feel the same the past two weeks I’ve been listening to the words and really paying attention and I feel so connected than I ever have even tho I’ve always listened to this song throughout my life.

[@willliv7990]

This song is too much man. Too much nostalgia. Too much sadness and happiness all in one. Makes you wonder what the hell this life is really about and why we are even here. But also makes you get the feeling there is a reason we are here and it’ll all make sense when we die. I’m not even depressed. I love life. But apart of me can’t wait to die to see the truth. Weird. Life is weird.

You perfectly described how i feel when i listen to this song..now i feel like crying

[@saltypirate07]

I found the reason. To get in a right relationship with Jesus and be saved from death by Faith alone in Christ, no works or good deeds are good enough. Check out some Living Waters university clips for more on that and Hope you find the truth.. dont wait till you die to find out.

I grew up with The Smashing Pumpkins, like many of us. I memorized all lyrics of Mellon Collie and The Infinite Sadness. I remember singing their songs out loud, feeling the music, and being alive. This song is a true masterpiece and it gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it, still, in 2023.

Man this song is about nostalgia for 1979 but it just makes me feel nostalgic for 1996.

[@derekderek2570]

fun fact, 1979 was only 16 years before this song was released, which was 25 years ago.

I heard Billy Corgan on Stern saying that's what he was going for on "Tonight, Tonight". This song immediately popped in my head when he said that.

[@ahronlong9846]

That’s called nostalgia. Simultaneously the best and worst feeling.

[@RavenWolfDrum69]

Yes

[@MrWayne6363]

Musicians that can do that are true artists. In my opinion they are rare today.

[@fancy1348]

Even though I was 10 in 1979…This song makes me nostalgic for the fun times I spent with my friends in high school in the 80’s…and the song came out in the 90’s. That’s the magic of music. It just makes you feel, plain and simple.

[@redskies4530]

Hi I recommend a new reflective indie song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix

[@robertbaratheon2193]

That’s the point and you got what it was meant to be. Born in 90 and feel the same way.

[@DonnieDarko28]

This is probably one of my favorite songs by them. Due to the fact that this song feels like a memory to me. A memory of a time before the leap to smart phones and other social technology. When life's experiences felt more genuine, relationships had more depth and meaning , and some things that should still be valued have either become less important or became something else entirely. It hurts to see it happen and know you can't stop it. At the same time, I do understood things do change. Some good, some bad, but some of it ,fortunately, still is the same.

I may very well be the oldest one to post here. I love this song. I was 21 in 1979, and already been in service, but this song makes think about my teen years in the early seventies. Great song.

[@manualramirez2973]

I hear you, I was 21 in 1979 as well and just joined the army. I feel the same way about it and the video reminds me of stuff that me and my friends did. The party, and pool hopping and cruising. Good times. 😉

That base line hammer on at the start of the song and throughout the song is pure warm blanket, remembrance of a past life long since gone. This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard this and tonight tonight. One man wrote these. Wow. I’ve been grateful and lucky to have actually thanked Billy in person for this song.

I'd be honored if some 90s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of 1979 by the Smashing Pumpkins, LONG DECEMBER by the Counting Crows, and NAME by the GooGoo Dolls on my YT channel in tribute to 3 great standards of the mid/late 90s era. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital enhancements. Peace out and stay safe in the '020s.
