I cry so much with this song.. It reminds me when I was married to a beautiful woman, my wife and then Cancer took her but she gave me a beautiful little girl who at 13 years old would pass away as well. 9 years as a single widowed dad I miss you little one...daddy loves you so much. these past 3 years have been hell on earth. December 22,2023 life sucks is all I can say. Till this day, i cry for my lovely daughter. I thank each and everyone, save for one or two people that think they know how it feels to lose a child, for your kindness to leave beautiful messages on here. I was watching this video and just poured out my feelings as a comment as i am kind of a loner ,and did not expect so much love and kindness here. Thank you again and again. To those who have lost someone theres not much ai can say as I know how it feels to lose someone and words are just words, i could say this though, live off memories made with that loved one. Religious or not there is that hole we will see them again sometime when we ourselves leave this earth.

I remember when i was at school and i was told that my best friend was hit by a car and died. I called my mom and she came to pick me up from school and this song was on the radio. She didn't say ANYTHING. All she did was turn up the radio all the way. On the way home with "Thirty-three"at full blast, i saw a cross next to the road with his name on it and flowers. All of a sudden i just started screaming and crying as hard as i could. My mother had no expression what so ever. She didn't say anything. She just let me get it out. when i got home, i shut my door and locked it. I freaked out and tore my room apart and my tantrum lasted for an hour. Eventually i fell asleep on the floor. Ever since, i cant listen to this song without thinking about Austin. Its an awesome song though.

[@Appreciation-Community]

You know, the internet gets a bad reputation for its negative effects of individuals and society. But when you read through comments of Pumpkins videos, you can see the beauty the internet let's strangers experience together. It brings together people from all over the world that would have never met that have similar experiences, feelings, and emotions about something. It really is special in that way. Even though the internet can be harmful in certain ways, I think it's important to accept the good things it can bring to people's lives as well.

[@konfu711]

Every time I hear this song, I sit and cry, and think about my son. He committed suicide in 2018 at the young age of 26. I think of the memories when we used to get in the car, go for a drive and sing "1979 together". As years went by, we grew apart. His addiction led to him taking his life. Later that year I saw them in concert for the first time ever. I nearly cried the whole time thinking of him. I lost it when they played this and 1979 almost back to back in their set. It's like they knew my pain. But that was the moment I released every emotion I could hoping he could hear me sing those songs at the top of my lungs. You can guarantee I'm crying while listening to it and typing this now.

This video/song is a masterpiece. During the taping of VH-1 Storytellers, Billy talked about the meaning of “Thirty-Three” when he said, “The year was 1994 and I just moved into a new house that was eventually going to be a purple Victorian house in Chicago. And this is the first song that I wrote for that album. And um, this song really embodies the spirit of that time. I had just gotten married, I’d just moved into a new house, the band was achieving the kind of success that people only dream of and I was really hopeful with the idea that I was eventually and someday -and it looked like it was going to happen- actually have a happy life. It didn’t quite work out that way. But I don’t think that’s what I really want to emphasize about this particular song. Um, you know, hope is really the key component in life because one must have hope and faith to actually get out of bed and do anything in this world. And um, you know, in my mind at that time, I think I was 27 years old, I thought that I had arrived. I supposedly had everything one would want: the wife, the cat, the house, the car, and the money and the -oh yeah, the fame. And um, but I think what I’m really trying to say here is all I ever really wanted was a happy home.”

[@ArgentoNube]

This is Corgan at the very top of his game. The placement of the lyrics within the natural chorus is brilliant. By that I mean the verse "You, can make it last, forever you." By itself and within the song it references tomorrow not love. And tomorrow is a day that will always come but never arrive. The fact that he's talking using tomorrow as his excuse to not do whatever he needs to get done today (like, love someone? I dunno) is mind bending when you go back and listen to the song in that context. I used to get so caught up in how beautifully its sung and arranged and what a great song of introspection it was but its much more that that. Corgan edified his greatness with 33.

If you need a smile... read: I'm sure so many of you reading this can relate. I was 12 years old when bullet with butterfly wings came out. I immediately purchased the entire album and listen to it over and over and over again. I became so obsessed with the smashing pumpkins. My dad took my mom and I on a business trip with him to Toronto one week. My dad found out smashing pumpkins were playing in Toronto & scalped some tickets for he and I only .. as he could only find two. It was on my moms birthday sadly the day that he and I went to that concert and sat in the third row. My dad, a very conservative man, never smoked pot a day in his life, me and 13-year-old girl obsessed with Billy Corgan. There is so much nostalgia for me and listening to this song and so many others. I sent Billy Corgan a birthday card on his 35th birthday. Literally that is how obsessed I was. Posters of smashing pumpkins covered my walls. And my concert T-shirt that I purchased at the Toronto concert I'm pretty sure I wore to school every single week until I was 16.... so much love for Billy and the band. ❤️

This song, and the Pumpkins generally speaking as a band, really, are THE band that defines my emotions during my mid teenage years. But, when I go "there" with them, to bask in nostalgia of the youth gone by, it rarely ends in the warm comfort it initially enticed me with, but rather a sad depth that I think we all experienced. Although I wanted to taste it for a second, I didnt ask it to take me THROUGH it again. Love. .....Loathe. Dont want to remember.......Can' forget.

[@kobi2187]

It's funny - the comments around pumpkins songs are openhearted and deep. not the usual bullshit comments you see on youtube. It's like we're all friends, opened by the intimate sharing of the Pumpkins. without criticizing, hurting others, no insults. It somehow fills people with acceptance. I think that is a magical virtue of SP.

This song is still so dreamy and dear to my heart after all this time. I have scribbled 'Tomorrow's just an excuse away' on my bedroom wall, to which my dad responded "Huh!" before admitting he'd done the same when he was a teenager. The Smashing Pumpkins are the sole reason I wanted to learn the guitar. Thank you for the infinite gifts.

[@oreallly967]

I know everybody says this about everything but I believe from the bottom of my heart that they don't make music like this anymore and they never will. A perfect art rock band that existed in a time where musicians could make millions.

[@ninja_tony]

I completely agree. I grew up with this album, and I doubt any other band has had such an impact on who I am today, as silly as that may sound. I will always consider myself lucky to have been able to experience it firsthand, because the whole album has such a strong emotional and nostalgic connection to my past, and I’ll always cherish it.

‘Mysteries not ready to reveal’ is one of the coolest little vocal line performances ever

[@snakerivertechnicalservice6803]

This album was the soundtrack to my transition from a teenager into an adult. I know they've always said it wasn't a concept album but I could hear the thread of a story though the songs. It encompassed everything I went though and ultimately would go through. There was such a sadness in a realization that all my anger and despair would likely bring me to an ending not unlike the last few songs of the album... Confused, scared, and left with the empty husk of a life that I thought could turn out so differently. Rage is the legacy that all the young inherit if they want, but in the end, if we don't learn to direct the pain of growing up in some useful direction, before you know it you're grown and you have left youth behind. If you didn't rise up to your life, you find yourself staring down the barrel of the rest of your life without purpose, and to there comes a day when it is too late to make the difference you wanted to. You're left with baggage full of regret, lost chances, broken hearts and the ceaseless voice inside that can't stop asking "what if I had done things differently?" I still listen to this record and feel as though Billy Corgan was the true voice of our generation, even though Nirvana will probably always hold the title of the herald of our time. I don't agree. This record is the perfect snapshot of that moment and the people like ourselves who came of age in the 90's.

[@bayerhead]

I found out that this song was inspired by a tarot card reader that Billy encounter and said that his life would change for the better at 33 years. My close school friend died at 33 and I helped carry her casket to her grave. At 33 for me everything seemed to fall into fall into place for me as well. Got married after many years, bought a house and my premature daughter was born as a miracle. Now this song is an anthem for me. So much has changed.
