And my innocent eyes diverted?"

[mitcheltodd88]

this is so jesus and the mary chain meets the cure meets the smiths

[SPlistener]

@mitcheltodd88 You're trolling, right?

[adellethegreat]

@SMASHINGPUMPKINSart It's not a Red Red Meat cover. It's a Red Red Meat collaboration, but the song is by Vic Chesnutt.

[LiamMLiamM]

@losmononos its on spotify available to download from the pumpkins' rarities and bsides album =)

[Kalex1138]

Okay, I just found my new favorite Pumpkins song...

[TheKatefantastic]

@losmononos It's on the Rarities and B-side album.

[tflashdz]

This is from a 1996 Vic Chestnutt tribute album.

Smashing Pumpkins (right picture) and Red Red Meat. (left picture)

Tim Rutili is the lead singer of Red Red Meat.

Ben Massarella - percussion, drums (far left) is my Uncle!

3/4 of Red Red Meat are currently touring with Iron & Wine

[AeonNovro]

I thought when I originally heard this song... well Billy's dad was a Jazz musician and I thought this was him doing a song with him. I lost the mp3 and couldn't find it and just thought to look it up on the net. Love this song and the pumpkins are the best. ...too bad the story wasn't true.

[JuCorgan]

@schfer The person who sings with Billy has a little the same voice as David Bowie..

[OrangeSpaceboy]

@JuCorgan I thought exactly the same thing when I heard the song for the first time... But then I read the other band was Red Red Meat. :)

[zerojg666]

Vic Chesnut made a great song, but the pumpkins its another story, beatiful!!!

[angelizer999]

Magnificent ;( time will tear us from this world, slowly we rot.

[ptiiteliiz]

Hi guys ! I'm french so perhaps I don't understand at all the lyrics but, who is "Senior Babbitt" ?

[nicholsjoshua15]

@ptiiteliiz I have mo idea who "Senior Babbitt" is but I bet dime to a dollar that it's just a name Billy made up to sound strange.

[ApathySidecar]

@nicholsjoshua15 Billy didn't make it up.  This was written by Vic Chestnutt in, I think, 1994.

[frkuency]

u can find this track on the album Sweet Relief II: Gravity of the Situation.. a tribute album to Vic..

[exileinbriville]

RIP VIC!



[jackwhitefanatic]

i have yet to find a voice more unique than Billy Corgan's

[tflashdz]

Red Red Meat is the band playing with the Smashing Pumpkins.

Proud to say my uncle Ben Massarella is the man on the far left. Tim Rutili is the other vocalist. Listen to Califone if you like this.

[spacelingokc]

[trailmixjustin]

You left out the chorus from those lyrics

Sad Peter Pan

And You're Lying

RIP Vic Chesnutt

[eyehategod8]

why cant i find the original version yeah this is good but its not vic chesnutt

[meesterperfect]

absolutely perfect.

is that james singing lead?

[medellia85]

no. It's whoever the main singer is from Red Red Meat

[medellia85]

@meesterperfect No. That's Billy. Later on the singer from Red, Red Meat comes in.

[immeohmyoh]

sp r standing 2 the side. anyone know who the group in front is?

[BayviewFinch]

It's Red Red Meat, who are collaborating on this song. SP have been connected with the band from way back.

[medellia85]

i'm assuming Red Red Meat

[heavy671]

after this band no one can call him self a band

[BayviewFinch]

Well one person usually isn't considered a "band." "Band" implies more than one person.

[ednocondriaco]

es una canción llena de sentimientos, magnífica rola.

[boywithstick]

I remember seeing a boy wearing a shirt that read "Sad Peter Pan" at the Tower Records meet & greet with the Smashing Pumpkins. I fell in love with him but he never knew of my love.

[jfn1ster]

Lovely. Corgan is the soundtrack to my life. Period.

[songbirdannie]

Amen to that....

[boxcutteremporium]

Me too. :)

[hardhittn63]

There are some live clips where corgan seems to immitate this guy.

[tera1320]

This song is so beautiful...it has me in tears.

And know this, there is nothing wrong with a Man, crying. I am a Man. This song will do that. And, it is the first time I am hearing it, plus I am a Devotee of The Smashing Pumpkins.

[tera1320]

tera1320 cyberpunk extrodinaire

[djaliplume]

I forgot about this one. Then I remembered it. And voila it's on youtube. Schweet!

[back2thefutre]

[pizzafan69420]

It is a cover of a Vic Chestnutt song. The song is a collaboration between Red Red Meat and The Smashing Pumpkins.

[mysweetzoe]

i think they did this song or at least this version together. it says so in the cover of the cd "sweet relief 2"

[back2thefutre]

[SMASHINGPUMPKINSart]

[mzet01]

Great Cover of a great Vic Chesnut Song!

Love it.

[lonuslies]

bliss

[geddongeorge]

this is the first pumpkins song i heard

[sumppl]

someone has a spike up their rear . . . anyways , thought it was funny how they mention aaron neville , that wasted artist that gives me headaches with his horrible songs.

[Emericanization]

well you should just go fall in a deep fucking hole with 10 foot spikes at the bottom, and you should die a very rotten horrible death, and burn in fucking hell for all eternity you fucking waste of flesh and bone. then... youre family should be stricken with the worst plague ever known to mankind, and it should deteriorate all their insides. and have their remains scavenged by rats.

ok im all done. fucking asshole.. fuck you.

[mrdrstandrew]

if you're talking to the guy who wrote the first comment, don't waste your breath.

[Fathoms2004]

When you get to be my age, you really learn to pity the dumb ones.

[Emericanization]

hahaha i know man, its a joke, i wanted to be like those annoying kids who say stupid shit.

[Joelius90]

Actually, you seem pretty experienced at it

[Emericanization]

no actually i didnt even know what i was saying half the time.

who cares anyway? that guy who posted that comment is clearly belligerent

[Joelius90]

probably the worst excuse of music I have ever had the misfortune to listen to
