Zwan - Lyric (Video Version)

[@sij6169]

I loved the early 2000s. I was 17 when this album came out. I'd just entered into a relationship with a girl who would eventually become my wife. Parties every weekend, going to college, not having to work much, spending all my wages on cds, pot, beer and McDonald's. This was my album of my 2003 summer, which for me, was my greatest summer ever. Now 2 of my friends passes away, 3 I never see and one of them became my wife and lifelong best friend. Great album for great memories

[@robjgolde3221]

Jimmy’s drumming and Paz’s harmonies/backing vocals make this song go from good to great.

[@lzepln]

God, I love Jimmy Chamberlin. No one has been able to dethrone him as my favorite drummer.

The greatest, period.

pretty sure he played drums on his guitar during the shooting day of the video

[@lzepln]

jipsasac I had to watch the video again to see what you were talking about. Then I realized that I’ve never even seen this video before... when I commented on it 5 years ago, I must have only been listening to the music... what a strange video...

x2, This album is full of hope and good vibes and I am surprised it is amazingly hard to find nowadays.

[@dieguensen]

Glad to have you here writing this. Depression is a tough one to come over

[@johnnysenser]

Loved this album when it came out, still do ! Jimmy’s drums and Billy’s writing are made for each other. And Paz is a ray of sunshine ☀️

[@jamesennis2250]

[@chrisothoulos]

Everyone "gets it" with Billy's music a decade or two later. The greatness this band had has gone mostly unnoticed and what they could have turned into will never be known. This song and song and video is so damn good. The music they made together was gold. For what it's worth... This music was a little less all about Billy than the Pumpkins are.... Zwan members had a lot more writing credits. Wondering vibes

[@Theomite]

Who knows? '23 is the 20th anniversary and Corgan's been open to playing Zwan songs at cocerts. Maybe we'll get all the unreleased music for the anniversary.

[@the.ethers.tragic]

hope this will apply to Cyr, Shiny and Atum in a few decades too It took a while but now i love the 2018 EP and Cyr. I think im still digesting Atum

[@arnumorales]

Zwan was basically a happy version of Smashing Pumpkins, right?

[@TheAlistairDick]

Musically they are happier

I was a HUGE smashing pumpkins fan as a teenager, and I was so hyped when this album came out, I bought it on CD the day it came out. It really didn’t disappoint. I’m glad they didn’t keep it going because it’s one of those albums that can’t be topped.

[@clayton99109]

How am i only just now discovering this band❓🤷🏼‍♂️❔

[@animatedgod]

we need more videos of paz just jumping around. i bet that would get a million views

[@rogermurray8553]

An absolutely brilliant album, full of some of Billy's greatest melodies and writing. One of the best and most essential artists in American popular culture, not to be overlooked or underrated.

[@cackermuffin]

some of the best drumming i've ever heard. simple as that.

[@rodrigoescobar7134]

[@benmoore701]

I was watching MTV in the middle of the night during one of my darkest times, thinking the worst thoughts a human can, and then this video came on...kinda mighta saved my life seriously...I got to see them live in 2003 and it was amazing...they opened with Mary star of the sea and they rocked the house down...great band with great songs, too bad they didn't get to officially release all the other songs they made..thank God for bootlegs...

[@chrisothoulos]

I'm waiting for studio versions to a lot of the songs.. Some that were in the dvd released with the album and live stuff they did. Supposedly they have over 50 songs in a box somewhere

[@zoopopzoo]

+chris soldatos after what i saw about the end of zwan, I can't imagine billy want to do anything with them...

[@joshdietrich5080]

I was lucky enough to see them 3 times (once in Chicago, once in St. Louis, and then in Normal, IL.). I can’t tell you how many times I listened to this album, and I was so excited for a follow up (studio recordings of Friends As Lovers, Spilled Milk, Riverview, and God’s Gonna Set This World On Fire would have been amazing). I feel like this is the last time that Billy really seemed to put his all into it! Don’t get me wrong, he has recorded some stellar shit since, but this was the last whiff of youthful Billy Corgan.

[@SparkleFalter]

That and that the album is well produced but kinda empty and not memorable. The live stuff that didn't make the cut was more interesting - but I guess it's easier to get a good product out of strife live than it is on an an album, particularly if allegations that Pajo was messing with the producer's girlfriend at the time were true.

I think you have a point there on the first argument Zachary. I perfectly remember tuning into MTV and there was this horde of dreadful "artists", a musical cataclyism of biblical proportions, with the constant playing of this hip-hop-pop of Fat Joe´s, Eminem, BEP, Crazy Town, Linkin Park, and so, so many similar crap...
