Billy Corgan stated on VH1 Storyteller's that he got the basis of this song from going to see a fortune teller and told him that something life changing would happen (the pumpkins broke up). He is currently 44, lets hope they reunite one last time before his birthday in March before he turns 45. Than again, I'm just a wishful thinker.
Turning 30 was hard on me, because I felt my window, for what I desired to become, was closing. Now, at almost 34, I've finally become comfortable with the fact that I'm just not destined to become what I desired. Instead, I was destined to become what I have become.
These people that become celebrities, or rock stars, or pro sports stars are just as weary about life as us commoners. There are even some that, if they just lived it for one day, would rather have my simple life of anonymity.
@OneHappySong I didn't even listen to the Anastasia Ost but the album this song was taken from is from 1995 and the Anastasia movie is from 1997. So if someone plagiarized it wasn't the Smashing Pumpkins.
@OneHappySong I can hear a little, but nothing to say one or the other was copied. Besides, this Smashing Pumpkins song was released prior to the movie's song.
I am 15 and this is way better than the shit they call music today i don't listen to any thing before 2000 other than foo fighters and red hot chillie peppers
@wowwow492 Yeah, I agree to some extent, I listen to anything The Smashing Pumpkins (not to say I like all of it), Radiohead, Poets Of The Fall, Cage The Elephant, Red Hot Chili Peppers, A Perfect Circle, Tool, Soundgarden, Breaking Benjamin and Pearl Jam make.
@wowwow492 People like you don't know how to find good music. You give up because you're expecting music to be handed to you. Get your hands dirty and find the music yourself.
@wowwow492 Music is awesome in 2012 man, we're lucky enough to have experienced the collapse of record labels - you'll never have good bands on T.V or the radio anymore, but you have access to literally thousands of bands now that you never did before - you just have to LOOK for music..
I feel like either this video is extremely artsy and has a deep meaning, and at the same time I feel like nobody involved had a fucking clue what they were doing when it was filmed.
@integral lol I like it because of that... like the toy soldier guys saluting, it's SO 90's alternative rock... cliched images with no real significance, deep and meaningful stares into the camera... it's hilarious but I feel too much affection to hate it
I remember buy this album the day after it was released, my 16th birthday, and this song was background. As I got older I really started listening to this song and realize how awesome this song is now that I have had lived some more of my life. Music can remind you of how you used to feel and reveals how you've changed also. I hardly ever listen to Zero or Bullet with Butterfly Wings. not because they are bad but because I don't connect to them like I used to. The way I do with this one
Every time I watch this video, it seems to touch my heart, it makes me a bit emotional, but I feel theirs a hidden message in this song and video and that's what makes it so enjoyable. Billy Corgan is the man!
idc what anyone says, this video is amazing. it's mysterious in a lot of ways, and some may think that that means it means nothing, or that they just made a bunch of random images to make it seem like there's some hidden meaning when there's not--but let's say all that is true, i don't even see that as a bad thing. i think this video is just visually wonderful, in a dark way.
@roelran i wouldnt call it selling out, its just really annoying that VEVO takes down the videos that others had up for years and hundreds of thousands or perhaps a few million views becasue they want their version to be seen with adds and whatnot. Its not very enjoyable
@igohereformusic222 those people that had their songs up for years were doing it illegally... you're not allowed to just put up a bands music. Vevo is making is legal and also getting the band a little money through paying for licenses to display the song on Youtube. There's nothing wrong with Vevo, it's just doing it how it legally should be done.
I just found it creepy that there were 33 responses so I had to chime in...Mellon Collie is the greatest album ever recorded and this song is one of the MANY reasons.
I really love the end of this video. The cover of Mellon Collie..an album that I listened to and then changed into a different person. I could stare at that album cover for eternity. Something about it is so peaceful and soothing
this is one of the greatest bands ever....they got me threw high school and threw the painful parts of my life...I LOVE YOU SMASHING PUMPKINS and always will
You realize time is moving fast and now you to slow down and look,savor each detail so you can make it last forever. Wow,great song , Tomorrows only an excuse away so how will you waste it living as if your gonna live forever or you going to relish every second of it.
@jadeNyC718 that's awesome bro. there's really no better theme music for spiritual and emotional revelations then the smashing pumpkins. they've had a huge effect on me in that way
@MLplayer78 Yeah some of their lyrics are really deep or the mood I am percieves them to be when listening.I like neverlost ,stand inside your love lyrics but 33 pretty on point.Those are the things on my mind since I turned 33, song makes a lot of sense.
hmm as I just turned 33, I noticed I had some kind of epiphany,I realized I'm not invincible.Death,worth,my life has become a little a clearer ,I understand that my future or my past or things that happen or don't ,acheivements acheived or not,don't really mean much of anything. It's about memories and the insignificant details that matter,It's what you choose you want to remember. because at 33,midway you just realize all the things you thought were important, really arent.
@gimplar1. they were insignificant at the time ,things you thought were insignificant as you move on in life become significant. /Here's a quote “And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.” – Abraham Lincoln we're trying to rush by to get somewhere when we finally get there its not the money,the careers,the endless lovers the best clothes,the most expensive cars ,etc,etc that really touch you or become a memory worthy of reliving as you get older
@gimplar 2.What you remember/reflect back on are say,a warm smile from someone passing by,a lost love,a broken heart,what ifs,relishing a piece of chocolate one xmas,the smellvof pine needles,te way the sun shined off your lost loves/souses face on day n the moment. a regret of never having enough time to enjoy all the little hapinesses that you wish you could have enjoyed just one more moment longer
@roelran whats more why do ppl give 2 rats asses if ppl sale out or not... Go work at walmart for free or mop floors for free... Its a job they make money... And its probably one of the hardest jobs in teh world being a professional musician.... So sick of ppl tossing around a word for no reason... EVERYONE WHO GOES TO A PAYING JOB EVERYDAY HAS SOLD OUT
