The absolute most beautiful song about an abusive childhood anyone ever wrote. I was blessed with wonderful parents, but I know plenty of people who weren’t so fortunate, and I know plenty of kids today struggle to balance their innocence and innate love with the harsh reality of those who should love and protect them most. Kudos to Corgan for capturing it so poignantly in this song.

This is one of the best song's of the 1990s. I was 23 when the song was released. It gave me chills to know that we as humans can do to each other and can be subjected to as a child,, such as childhood trauma of abuse or neglect, parental dysfunction from emotional distance or harmful behavior that could be passed down through generations; Masking the pain behind a smile, but having a glimmer of hope to heal when "I send this smile over to you." Now, at 53, 30 years later, it still has the same affect. It's melonchaly, yet beautiful song. One of the best ever from the Smashing Pumpkins.. The tubular bells and cello are a magnificant touch!

[@dikembemutombo6022]

Billy Corgan's range as a composer is nothing short of astonishing. He can write the angriest, bilious songs, but also sad, melancholy, introspective chefs-d'oeuvre in the same breath. He can lean composition on any kind of guitar, or a piano, or strings like here. He can let Jimmy Chamberlin do fireworks on drums, or else replace him with a rhythm machine. At any rate, the tapestry of SP's masterpieces is marked by emotional profundity and maturity, and unapologetic ability to live a rich inner life and feel the full range of emotions and spiritual experiences. Even thematically, the range is startling. From powerful songs about childhood and adolescence, such as Disarm, all the way to mournful reflections on death and loss, such as For Martha. Always amazing to rediscover the mighty Pumpkins.

[@emmmmmmmmm6322]

As someone living with depression, I'm listening to all the songs I listened to around the time of my diagnosis many years ago. A lot has changed since then, but these songs never will. They are a constant. The feelings the evoke will always be the same. Life goes on, and I won't say it gets better quickly because that cannot be applied to everyone, but even at your lowest you're still worth more than the things you tell yourself.

Depression is basically a problem with diet and lack of physical exercise/Sun.

[@sarina76667]

As someone who also has had severe depression all my life, inattentive ADHD, and generalized anxiety… Yes. When I look back at where I was emotionally even just 5 years ago let alone 30 years ago in the 90s, it’s like night and day. I never realize just how much work went into getting to this point until I try to explain it to people. Then the realization of just how bad it was and all the trauma that any normal person would never tolerate hits me like a bag of bricks to the head. I’m horrified by the place I was at mentally at that time and I’m so grateful I’m not there anymore. I’m proof that it takes an incredible amount of work and patience, but it can be done. Somewhere, somehow there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

I couldn't even see them playing but I had to stop and listen. I stood all alone on a path behind the stadium and I just listened until the song finished.

While Corgan's often cryptic lyrics lose their effect over time, "Disarm" is one of the Pumpkin songs where the lyrics are just as likely as the music to be lodged into your memory forever. It's an epic song, but not in a way you would expect. Bells and orchestras make for a beautiful background, but Billy and his acoustic guitar maintain just as much presence. As if reflecting a small man with big problems, he's more likely to effect himself than anything else is.

supravista It creates a great opportunity for dialogue. We shouldn't limit ourselves to our simplest opinions but rather fully express and discuss.

[@genecatcher]

Just went to their concert tonight and this song instantly brought tears in my eyes. Definitely one of the greatest songs that are timeless.

[@FDzerzhinsky]

One of those songs that just keeps sounding better and better no matter how often or rarely you hear it. Hopefully this time I'll actually memorize the title!

[@ctguitarguy8510]

This resonates with all the young boys who grew up in rough families and households during this time period.

In love is discipline or was the discipline just a false illusion

[@QuedemasBibleAndBudgets]

@@ralesidtparrot9334 I agree with you my friend. Thank you for replying to my comment- if anyone else reads it I want to recommend a book called The Whole-Brain Child, its about how parents can nurture their child's developing mind and it shares different strategies parents can use to help themselves and their children when it comes to discipline. 🧡

Agreed. To this day, the band, especially Billy, have a great respect for orchestras and classical music that is unmatched by any other band in their caliber that I can think of.

2:40 when the full orchestra comes crashing down gives me goosebumps. What a powerful song.

[@blackspace007]

This song is pure brilliance

[@rattlethecages]

This just might be the Pumpkin's greatest song ever written. The emotion from Corgon combined with the simple yet direct lyrics cut right through you to the very core. The instrumentation is beautiful too, with that strange ability to evoke pain yet assuage it at the same time. I often think that it feels more at home on Mellon Collie than on Siamese Dream.

I love seeing the sky in black and white like in this video because the sky is so unique. Every second might be a totally new sky that hasn't existed forever. This video was recorded somewhere in 1993 and I'd like to think that, in that day I gazed upon the sky and saw the same sky as is in the video and thought to myself how beautiful the sky was. I'm so drunk and nostalgic right now.

No songs ever hit me on an emotional feeling as hard as this one has. Divorce and child abuse is my childhood, and it still hurts. Even though I'm pretty much grown up now. I'm never putting my kid through the shit my dad put me through. The only thing he ever taught me was what type of parent and husband to not be.

[@huhhuhhuh4069]

This song brings back the feelings of your traumatic childhood but somehow soothes those feelings at the same time. It is a strange, sad, and beautiful sensation. This song is a wonderful piece of artistic expression.

[@andreawersyn1138]

I think it makes you realize you aren't alone and somehow that makes it bearable.

When I was 5 years old this song was a very important piece of music to me. I didn't know how to express my feelings or how I could feel so lonely and abandoned by my parents right inside of my home.
