Smashing Pumpkins - Lilly (My one and only)

[GreenDayDookieDemos]

it's spelled Lily

[modoloine]

she's so pretty ^^ always loved this song :)

[omgitslily96]

thumbs up if you're watching this because your name is Lily :)

[megankopeny]

@omgitslily96 named our daughter lily because of this song. my fav off of the double disc almbum in 7th grade.....from beginning to end...one of my all time albums

[soccrlovr4228]

another song tht has my name as its title!!!

[taffysaur]

i sing it to my cat:- "tingy, my one + only".

[Unfammilliar]

Song's have multiple meanings. Make of it what you will, for that's truly what the song makes you feel and not what someone else told you to feel about it.

[LadyLKnight]

* Lily.

Thank god someone finally wrote a song about us Lilys

[TheWowmart]

its about his cat

[manka6]

The girl I love can't be with me anymore. Her favourite flowers are lilies. I was walking home from her house for the last time as a couple at 2am and this came on. I sat on a bench and cried for a good five minutes.

Thanks for helping me start to get over this, Billy. My love to all Pumpkins fans.

[TheLittleMissDead]

my name is Lilly ... YESS

[OmenRA009]

He's a peeping tom who has fallen in love with his neighbor Lily.

[whitediesel266]

@OmenRA009 i think it realy about billy's cat lilly

[azimangoez]

Lilly can play with my Willy any time

[april97cobra]

My daughters name is Lilly...I didnt name her after this song tho.

[2727taterbug]

I had a dog named Lily, this song really confussed me.

[omarqure]

wow havent heard this in atleast 10years, was my favorite on Mellon Collie played it over and over.

[youmustberoy]

I think Billy has a cat named Lily... great video! :)

[whitediesel266]

@youmustberoy he has and the song is about the cat

[vagflu07]

The album of my younghood. That marked me so much. I just love the Pumpkins.

Fluminense FC. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

[historyris27]

I see it as a young man, madly in love for Lily his neighbor. Sitting in a tree just to get a glimps of her even if its just a shadow. Wishing that she knew how he felt, or to even see him. As an officer drags him away, he swears he saw her wave goodbye.

I always see it in my head as a scetch art, low def scratchy anime almost coloered with marker,with him sitting on a branch of a tree, a house, a shadow in a window, and an officer knocking at his door. Two hotties and a pumpkin is great also

 U

[xXRedrogOXx]

is this song about his cat?

[danyei222]

what a great video and it looks good to the song

[TheAnnaleeo]

this is why im thankful my nickname is LILY!!!!

[susanandlittles1]

I named my daughter after this song! :)

[fixmyhvac]

Great job!

[PinchofPsychedelic]

This song is the reason I'm naming my daughter Lily

[petertstone]

I always loved the lyrics. I always pictured the video for Lilly to be a black and white silent film sorta thing, and this one came came close to what I kinda always played through when listening to this song

[SuperCherubrock]

lily,my friend



[lordoflines]

shitty video, great song

[StarBrigade]

this song kinda reminds me of kingdom hearts,like the instrumental anybody else think so?

[ticktok5564]

Why do they have that ugly bitch, I want some ass N titties!

[AirForce576]

@ticktok5564 Get the fuck out of here! You pervert. I bet your a fat ass behind a computer hoping for some porn in a smashing pumpkins video! wow your a fag. get a life.

[EvaDarknessQueen]

soul breaking..

[beautifuleuphoria]

about a cat, lol. I think that just about made my day

[juanarrivillaga]

so, tis isn't the official vid? WOW!!!! :) great job!!!!

[NeonSloaney]

Hah I was in a Claude Monet exhibition listening to this... I was in a trance, and the paintings themselves speak like photos of them can't. Smashing Pumpkins remind me of art when their best songs are listened to.

[wmotamedi03]

I love your video. Great work! That's so cool that you were featured on the band's Myspace!

[ANDtheFOUR]

BEAUTIFULLL YOU ARE THE BEST BILLY CORGAN

[fcionsz]

why an officer? he's on a tree and suddenly he sings about a door, and why would an officer be included? she doesnt see him stalking so she couldnt call the police so whyyyy! i want to have it right

[jjadgemini88]

This song relates eerily well to facebook stalking....or just stalking in general. The best part about this song is that, as opposed to desperation, there is this bubble-thin sense of hope that the speaker holds onto against all odds. This is an oddly happy song. This is the complexity I'm missing in SP's latest stuff....its just not there, not like this.

[dirtystephennwilson]

@jjadgemini88 couldn't agree more with you. They've been a different band since Adore. It's a shame....

[Crishaana]

What's that musical instrument that sounds a bit like the clarinet ?

[hondanada]

lovely video....is smashing pumpkink all over it.

[lakai958]

just awesome

[Tx88Cowboys]

I meen why she liven there itz cute but like wats with the girl ..........:lol

[jerry401]

Did you know that Corgan wrote this song for his cat named Lily...?

[kwarkn]

@jerry401 people dont thumbs up appropriate comments

[figlopdan840822]

my one and only... :')

[savemyplaylist]

sort of wish you touched on the stalker aspect of this song

[ciere]

I seriously love this song, always have. The video is nice too.

[Frangurl]

This album got me through my early teen years. I loved it then and still do now.

[1nV1nC1Bl3BaLaM]

Nasty

[themunkrikt]

Great video. Creative

[Shyne85]

I always associated this song with "we only come out at night"...never bothered verifying, and was surprised when I sought it out by title and didn't hear this. I've found it now though, and a piece of my heart has reassembled itself

[geraldmx]

de mis favoritas del MCIS, gracias por subirla

[IansUnknownArt]

this song sounds like if billy corgan sang for modest mouse to me.

[eatrocksah]

billy wrote this song for his cat(lily)

[curlymolly70]

was a close up of spots neccesary?

serious baps on the bitch tho

[Ranciere]

@curlymolly70 go watch madonna dickhead.

Great video

[umitsjustgrunge]

great song, but what is it about? a cat, him stalking, or that tree thing with the parents and cops?

[Sodapopsehinton]

@umitsjustgrunge he is stalking her

[dylan9236]

@umitsjustgrunge It can be any of those meanings, as well as any others you might interpret.

Who says you have to stick with just one?

[bigestfanofsomething]

He is stalking Lily.

[fernandosm8]

when i was younger and the mellon collie came out... i was in love with a girl named lilly.. and because of that, this was one of my favorites one on that album... and everytime i listen this song i think about my lilly (my one and only)

[fernandosm8]

@klikkhaus no, i met her but it was just a platonic love

[balaulu]

@fernandosm8 : Woah, same to me. Lilly was my ex-gf nick name . That's why we love Billy so much :D

[kkwickweezy10]

@fernandosm8 ur gayyyyyy so much girls out there. too many for u to b cryin ova 1 

[sodapopcherries]

@fernandosm8 It's nice to see an honest and heartfelt comment be at the top of the list.

[SiliconBong]

You're Beautiful, fernandosm8. Umm, have a nice day from NZ :)

[teenmachines]

okay, as pretty as the song is the lyrics are fucking creepy.

[33MellonCollie]

anyone know how to play this on piano? I dont read music, Ive leard a lot of SP songs on piano but cant figure this one out.. =(

[Ariesgodtron]

This song has alot of the same chord progressions, but alot of diviating, or improvising, id go as far as guessing they were improvising on the extra notes for the whole song.

[1tigerlillie]

Muhahaha XD my name is lillie!!

by boy friends sings this 2 me now and then, this song is just so cute!

[Sodapopsehinton]

@1tigerlillie thats funny

[TheLilyISmycat]

lily, my one and only...my lovely cat!

[Carmudgeon27]

Parabéns pelo trabalho! Ficou muito bom!

[northgoddess88]

i thought this song was about a peeping tom getting arrested.

[AstroninjaTV]

LOL Yeah same here! I grew up listening to Mellon Collie and never figured out it was about his cat.

[TheLastTurokian]

your right

[cotpink]

@northgoddess88 i thought that too...

[Iownage]

@cotpink It is about a peeping tom. An obsessed peeping tom.

[TheWowmart]

@Iownage its about a cat

[MrRobc777]

@northgoddess88 Yer it is lol

[Rebeg00]

lol yay both of them xD well it was defff romantic xD :] thanx for clearing things out

[Rebeg00]

This song is so beautiful makes me cry :]. Also because my bf dedicated it to me :D <3

[Monkehpunk]

-facepalm- you can't dedicate a song to someone when they didn't write it...

[Rebeg00]

well.. then how do you call it when someone says " This song reminds me of you" and changes the name to your own??

[Monkehpunk]

Hm, I assume you call it what you just said. :P but that's still sweet :3

[Rebeg00]

lol I know :D

[iammadness]

If it was on the radio it's called a dedication. If he played it for you on some musical device and there was a crowd it is also a dedication, if just the two of you a romantic gesture. If he sang it to you with or without musical accompaniment and change the name to yours, well I guess it's still a dedication as well as a romantic gesture..

[curiositycult28]

k the music video is like... idk??

but the song is about him stalking this girl and he gets arrested at the end..

i love it!!!<3

[claudiaprinsloo]

That's what I thought at first, but it's actually dedicated to Billy Corgan's cat.

Now that's romantic. ;)

[Spoonular]

lol how could you not love billy for doing something like this xD

[jeromebachelier]

I m looking for a song from them and i m going from another song to an other can t stop they are all beautifull... it s going to take me while to find it....

[immeohmyoh]

haha happens to me all the time lately

[nomorerocketships]

i like how there's pumpkins throughout the video :)

[maurfr5]

I love melancollie

[tatipheebs]

Thank you so much for this video! This is one of those great Pumpkins songs that we forget it even exists... ah, Billy at his best.

[eMoPunKeeguitar]

my names lilly :D

[TearDropCatcher]

heh, as is my middle name xD

[harryboy300]

haha

kewt

[wocLov]

soooooo.......... omg....... perfect song O.O

[jenregan7069]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!! this is after beautiful on the blue cd...lol!!!! i havent heard it in YEARS!! thanks for posting it!! this song always made me giggle.

[MCRisforlife96]

i love this song. it's sweet and romantic, and slightly creepy, but not too much. as for the video, it wasn't what i was expecting, but good all the same.

[Allysefrazier]

It's about Billy's first wife.

[dailybrother]

Nice vid. My friend's sister was named after this video. Say, what exactly is this song about anyways?

[AdonijahAvenged]

my guess would be that it's about a peeping tom. he talks about hanging in a tree, watching her through her window shade, etc.

i could be wrong, but it sure seems to be peeping tom-esque to me.

[blubuddha]

EXACTLY! I love this song to the death, but yes its satire, its comedy, its actually poking fun at all the sweet romantic songs that sound like this because yes, the guy is stalker her! A peeping tom, and for all we know he doesn't even know Lily personally, he's just obsessed. This is a love song written from the perspective of a sexual predator. Disturbing concept, but brilliant and eloquently executed...

[AdonijahAvenged]

very well put my friend.

brilliant and eloquent indeed.

[orangecrushaa]

good job

[GabbieexATL]

My niece was named after this song.

[DeathMetalJoker666]

great choice!

[slytown]

Doesn't get better than melancholy piano music.

[mascotsandmugs]

i wonder if Billy has ever seen this vid. before!?!

[garfolino]

i think he did... it was once featured on the bands myspace :)

[joao1988pedro]

n t cabia um feijão no cu hehe mas parabens o video tá bem conseguido

[jimboestar]

Belleza de cancion!!

me encanta.

[AliceGutierrez1234]

i love this song <3 =)

[paulclarkemyobcom]

The song is about a guy who is infatuated with a girl he's stalked and then killed and stuck in his house which is props up and pretends is alive. Police find him and drag him away from the cadaver and he feels that the dead eyes girl waves at him goodbye. It's the workings of a deranged phycotic mind.

[paulclarkemyobcom]

Snowy. Her skin is so white like snow because she's dead.

[kskmiller]

Close, but not quite. The whole time he talks about watching her through the window shades. He never mentions anything alluding to the rest of your comments. He's a peeping-tom / stalker, not a murderer / psycho. Still a little disturbing, but not what you're making it out to be.

[youtubinfool]

i heard it was about billy corgans cat primerily xD

[jared81799]

lot of pan shots

[lexxe16]

not bad! ;)

[567eight9]

haah theres even a pumpkin in the vid!

[dromanaaa]

goose bumps i feel

[kansasmann]

the very last lines of this song give me goose bumps. it's genious.

[PERSEFONEfarfalla]

no podrian subtitularlo?

[lagringasarah]

en ingles?

[stupideverything]

Um, it's about a guy stalking a girl named lilly...why would the cops be dragging Billy away for staring at his cat?

[Optikaliluznz]

lol

[jared81799]

lily was his first wife

[chetalk]

great video!

[MiszzMiszz]

whatever, its good video, nice job

[MiszzMiszz]

Wow, its fuckin great that everybody named lily, but corgans cat too has this name. yes, its song about his lovely cat lily. (:

[lillylimabean]

[zozaa124]

[lillyguria]

My name is Lilly too..... Very beautiful....

[Lillykinz14]

[clarissamellon]

[Nero24k]

one of my favorite song but if you look at the lyrics. I think billy admiited to being a stalker

[madrox84]

Haha he did! A lot of people think its a sappy love song but it's actually a cute little joke song =)

[kevmakoom]

Yeah - it's about his cat isn't it? Or rather named after his cat...

[lillyandalex]

my name is lilly and i loe the smashing pumpkinz.

[nicck]

If you want to make a video to this song, just film your cat.

This song was written by Corgan about his cat.

[lizzborden]

My name is Lily and my mom used to play me this song when i was little <3

[SiliconBong]

That's Beautiful.

[figlopdan840822]

[riversidemafia]

5 star video... nice camera edit

[alefveld]

[rastaman2111]

divino!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BVTVRocks]

nice videography mna

[tjc133]

the beginning drums part reminds me of something from Final Fantasy... lol

[gregorsamsa123wfr43r]

@ tjl133: Scary coincidence. I played the Final Fantasy games while listening to Mellon Collie a lot.

[mugabezuwane]

great song, i could listen to all the songs off mellon collie and the infinite sadness all day and night, best album of all time to me

[IoReporterSkyTg]

Im on yer idea sometimes.

[walterodim82]

yup, from start to finish. A great album. The funny thing is I've owned it for 12 or 13 years and I like it now more than ever!

[pissant75]

...lovely song and tits!!!!! whos dat girl?

[IoReporterSkyTg]

What a tune! Shame its not so famous

[Mikecheq]

thats a good thing in my book

[supplement31]

I KNOW! lol this and by starlight but i guess its better tht way cause then u know who really liked the artist and just not their mainstream stuff so i guess its better i love this cd!!! and this song lol

[Bohemian19boY]

check out my pumpkins vids...thx ;-)

[rockologo]

excelente calidad, aunque si me hubiera gustado que incluyese el guión en el mismo: un adolescente colgado en un arbol en un ambiente semi-campirano esperando que su amada dibujase su silueta a travès de la ventana...

[schmic33]

Fantastic, great cinematography. You really captured the mood of the song.

[balaulu]

all the fucking guys on MTV make me miss billy and the 90s so much

[malawada]

awesome vid, legendary song

[EedDeryi]

[TSOTLOTU]
