Its very relaxing when I tune into Billy. I have 6 albums home made and play them while I work in the garage. Now I have worn those out and need to make another set. Some people think the Pumkins are a little to weak in the knees music. They havent mellowed enough to enjoy a calming the effect of ballads that are sent to real memories of people who surround you life.
It's about wanting to know your loved ones are okay, even if you're an atheist or agnostic; wanting to feel it's okay and that though you don't know what happens after death, you know you want to see them again.
I've heard this song in a movie, especially because of the piano at the beginning....i just can't remember which movie. I know it was a good movie, i'll tell you that much.
I hate when young kids refer to Billy Corgan as "their lead singer" in these comments on youtube because they don't even know who Billy Corgan is. They probably don't know who Jimi Hendrix was either. Sigh. Thumbs up if you agree with me!
@ventilize NO! This is a tribute to Billy Corgan's mother, Martha Corgan. She died of cancer in 1996 and it was a lot harder on Corgan than he had feared.
This video really makes this song that much better. I got chills again listening to the ending of this song. Normally that only happens once for a song.
this is a very amazing song..with that being said,this is also an amazing anime...I for one am tired of just looking at album covers...this is refreshing..so cz0zero ignore the comments,I for one think you did a great job mate!!
im so sad about year and i need help. my adress: david belotelkin, komarnanska 55, 94058 nove zanky, slovakia, europe..........why i must have psychical pain so long time a cry? whY?....hepl me please if zou cant--------
this song was on Ador right? his mom just got diagnosed with cancer, she wasnt dead yet, and i dont even no for sure if she's dead today. but im asking a qustion dont getr me wrong.
nah im not wrong because i was asking, i didnt no i thought i saw in a doc. billy say "i found out my mother was diagnosed with cancer, so alot of the inspiration came from that."
this song is amazing! its just one of those songs I cant stop listening to. this is one of SP most touchful songs. it really hit me hard when I found out this was for his mom. R.I.P Martha corgan.
my favorite anime, and my favorite pumpkins song. What more can you ask for...this really makes my day, and i thank anybody that made this happen. Wonderful, and just so uncomparable.
all of them do, like who didnt??? artists grow, they have an urgent need to be understood by the people, check billys track record, everybody used him for his talent, he was exposed to constant capatilistic efforts with regards to his music, he was practically forced to sell out, and like i said all of them sell out my friend.
i don't want to start a stupid youtube argument. but i agree MOST do not all like led zeppelin for example did not sell out but ozzie sold out big time i agree though most sell out
Combining Cowboy Bebop with Smashing Pumpkins makes me utterly happy, and this might be one of my favourite songs by the Smashing Pumpkins. It can make me cry to this day (though I wish it had been 'all' of it).
@davinsk11 I bought all of the S/P albums on Amazon, Made my own disc 5 times. It fits every slot on my Disc player, So its not hours of the Pumkins, ITS DAYS Cant beat a historical making of musical genius at his finest....
@davinsk11 yeah it's great.. I know people who have said his (billy's) voice is weird blah blah but they never really gave it a chance.. I love pink floyd, radiohead, tool, sarah mcglachen, all sorts of trance, hip-hip and especially metal but when I think of my love for music and what music is to me THIS is real MUSIC -from the heart- gives you that awesome bittersweet nostalgic feeling... when I meet the right girl to spend my life with I will feel like these songs make me feel :)
I wonder what people have against this so much for those who do listen to it, they quickly go "whoa that's not for me" then they play something like Green Day and Blink 182. I don't care if they love them, but what against the Pumpkins?
"If you have to go.. don't say goodbye... if you have to go don't you cry.. if you have to go i will get by...someday I'll follow you, see you on the other side"
Errr... there's tons of guitar. The guitar playing chords throughout, a few Ebowed guitars in the background, the distorted lead guitar starting around 4:27, etc... The wonders of overdubbing!
great video one of my all time favorite songs, to the people who don't like it: why not just listen and not watch, why complain? you probably aren't true smashing pumpkins fans anyway
