[CelisseCazzola445]

[griffontalons]

Wow man this is oh so nice melody. I love it when good artists continue to do what they love.

[DarthCanias]

One person has no soul,

or is perhaps just a troll...

[bwilljt]

the whole stressing over the indie thing is useless. 

[MeladoriMagpie17]

This is my absolute favourite song of all time.

[Zeonoid]

Not the best song from the Machina... Chorus and bridge sounds great but verse and break pushes it down..

[HopingForAnEncore]

magic just happened =)

[kyleericcarlson]

A band like this will come again. The next generation is not taking any shit. No labels holding back.. I hate to say it, but there may just be something better than the pumpkins coming. i can feel it.

[kyleericcarlson]

@nicholsjoshua15 resurrect 

[hamdigidy]

I woke this morning super depressed cause i have a crush on a girl and she doesn't even realize i exist basically. Listened to this song a dozen times and learned to play it on guitar and it's made me feel great. Really beautiful song, hope to get some more great tunes like this from billy soon.

[UralOfficial]

Just plain awesome.

[mabuhayguy]

[grigir4o]

great guitar solo

[kmrobins72]

Such an underrated song of theirs.

[fakeplasticmeat]

lol@ calling the pumpkins 'indie' in 2000. The pumpkins lost any indie credibility after Siamese Dream. They were a killer band, but definitely not indie. Maybe you guys are too young to remember all this, but MCIS sold nearly 10 MILLION copies in the US alone. SD sold 4 million copies. That doesn't discount how awesome they were, but its totally off base to call them indie. If anything, as they progressed, they became more "indie" like.

[herbie37]

@fakeplasticmeat whatever

[foxylady1984]

@fakeplasticmeat The term "indie" doesn't have anything to do with record sales. It has to do with what record label they're signed onto, be it mainstream or independent. Also, "indie cred" is bullshit anyway. Signing on with a mainstream record label is a wise career move, not "selling out" as the "original fans" usually put it. So their music is now going to be more accessible to the masses. Boo hoo.

~Foxy

[twcatube]

@foxylady1984 USED to be a wise career move. Things have changed a LOT. It's not really clear-cut as to what the truly smart move is anymore. People do different things and see success.

[Flrestarter]

@foxylady1984 Indie...is a fucking overrated word!

[Commiteee]

@fakeplasticmeat Are you aware of what indie music is? It's not a "sound" it's the way the record is produced.

[fakeplasticmeat]

@Commiteee Your statement is contradictory. The production of a record greatly influences how it sounds. Indie in the most basic way means that they're not tied to a major label. Today, "indie" gets thrown around so much its pretty meaningless.

However, re-read my statement, "If anything, as they progressed, they became more 'indie' like". The pumpkins were the antithesis of indie in every way imaginable for Gish, SD, MCIS, Adore, and one could argue Machina too. They're more "indie" today

[twcatube]

@fakeplasticmeat AFTER Siamese Dream? They didn't have any with Gish. It was common belief at the time that their deal with Caroline had been set up to give them some "indie" cred before they'd immediately jump to a major. They were routinely attacked for this well before Siamese Dream was released. A lot of "indie" bands had huge problems with the Pumpkins even early on.

[isssssssce]

Epic band; These songs have been with me through ten years of hardship, and helped me think of light when there was only darkness.

[Machina989]

@isssssssce No better way to put it.  WIth every Light!

[meddlingmage23]

Well, in Machina, there's this song, Try Try Try, and I guess Everasting Gaze and Heavy Metal Machine is alright. In Adore, they had: Perfect, Behold the Nightmare, and to a lesser extent, Once Upon a Time, and Daphne Descends, and Pug. To the ppl who can see that they changed from indie to pop, I feel your pain. Still he's more creative than the shit today.

[musicismylife442]

what is it...what is it you want to change? Those lines haunt me. What do you all think he is talking about here.

[quro86]

What is it you want?... What is it you want to chaaange?

Awesome!!

[vandammenessie]

One of their best songs.

[thepumpkins101]

best cd iever bought in my life no doubt !!

[cjtudor]

One of my fav Pumpkins songs. And the solo... like no solo i've ever heard before. Amazing

[korg0019]

@cjtudor yeah mate, that solo is what rock is all about.

[mercurymadhatter]

I hate how the pumpkins were trapped by Mellon Collie. Nobody wanted to hear anything else and that's why adore and machina had bad sales

[Invidente7]

I agree, even thought Mellon Collie was the ultimate Smashing Pumpkins album it would be simply ridicilous for them to go and try and recreate it again

[meddlingmage23]

@mercurymadhatter Yeah, I see what you mean, but without Chamberlain, Iha, and Darcy, it's really different. I mean they kinda went from indie to mainstream, and that's what really turned off their fans

[mercurymadhatter]

@meddlingmage23 Well I'm not talking about Zeitgeist, that was just an awful album. When they still had the original lineup (aside from Chamberlain not on Adore and D'arcy not on Machina) and made those two last albums that were really good. I have to admit though, when I first heard Adore and Machina I thought they were horrible. Adore being tremendously boring and Machina being completely over processed which drowned out Billy's voice. I guess mainstream listeners thought the same thing too.

[tehanonbelieve]

I wondered why no one seems to like this album and why it never gained the admiration it deserves, it is my personal favorite album by them. Now I know it is because its a special kind of album, one that only a few people find and fewer see its true beauty.

[mercurymadhatter]

@tehanonbelieve my opinion is that at the time, bands like nsync and backstreet boys and britney spears were coming onto the scene and the underground grunge era was over. The pumpkins just failed to reconnect to the old audience from mellon collie and failed to reconnect with the new pop audience. Both due to the change in style, although the change had a very good result in my opinion.

[Ruxie666]

yes, it's sadly underated but it rest a TRUE FACT of the history of rock. so let's smile. Machina is'nt for stupid posers or noobs. stay united and keep this masterpiece alive

[thatswhattheyis]

This is basically Corgan's break-up song. I don't think that the band really wanted to break up, but they couldn't hold it together any more.

I blow the dust off my guitars

In the attic with the stars

I read your letters

To feel better

My tears upon the fading ink

As I of the morning now gone

Pick up where my thoughts left off

Cause I'm home to die on my own

Sounds like I'm leaving and it is not because I really want to, but we have to and I don't know why.

[chriskoob]

in the latest issue of rolling stone, theres an article on Billy, and they mention how the relationship tween Billy and James is pretty much non-existant and has been ever since around the time Machina, Darcy was pretty much gone by this point , so for the most part the "band" was pulling away from billy anyway

[EnigmaticOranmentV6]

I like to think of both this and "This Time" as their break up songs.

[fsanchez1018]

songs like these are a reason why i named my daughter smashing for first ame and pumpkin for last

[ihatechili]

o.o' you serious?

[RatTailMongo2]

...you named your child Smashing Pumpkin?...

[Iknowgoodmusic]

@fsanchez1018 Really? Sad... Just Sad.

[CraigPhilipMyBeer]

My favorite song on the album! The first 5 songs on the albums are the best IMO.

[vallinas80]

su mejor álbum de lejos, yo creo que al no obtener las expectativas y críticas que se merecieron y que esperaban fue la causa de su separación. El álbum peor tratado de la historia de la música, a mí personalmente me parece una puta obra maestra y no son mi grupo favorito ni de casualidad, ni es el tipo de música que mas me gusta. their best album

[Ruxie666]

in 2000 the smashing pumpkins save the rock by release Machina, a rock masterpiece made of beautiful songs like this one.

[TheSPumpkin100]

@Ruxie666 i hate that it's so underated

[Ruxie666]

yes, it's sadly underated but it rest a TRUE FACT of  the history of rock. so let's smile. Machina is'nt for stupid posers or noobs. stay united and keep this masterpiece alive.

[depechemodevilla]

[morocotopozz]

True!!!!!!

[strapping78]

absolutly agree

[Alchemist1119]

an outstanding SP album along with gish and siamese dream... what has become of music since 2000? why cant bands maintain this level of quality? ohh well, back to the pop music which was made(and now resurrected) by the worst bands/artists of their time!

[theblahs]

what? I feel sorry for you.

[IzzyLovesRock]

Its Because Of Songs Like This That No Matter What Happens The Pumpkins Will Always Be #1, Pumpkins Forever!

[riverplate0101]

Has that Peter Hook thing going on.

[rayramis22]

I would listen to this song in my cd player on my way to school when I was in 8th grade, it reminds me of time. that was like 9 years ago, now I feel old

[BunnyShoter]
