Smashing Pumpkins: The Bells

[TheYellowochre]

i'm not sure if i believe in god, but this song makes me want to

[Oniedarida]

endearing, something about this makes me feel so happy

[MrBasicblue]

Smashing Pumkins.. by far the best band ever... my just heart breaks.. such memories riding around listening to SP on back roads back in the 90s.. i miss those days:(... times ill never forget

[witterquickly]

@MrBasicblue Totally agree. This music just rekindles the embers of happy memories - bliss!

[voltaman33]

Immaculate and very fitting for the vintage style of the Pumpkins.

[onefodderunit]

What an endearing, reverent song.

[Fulgrim88]

Beatles?

[lus1981]

@Fulgrim88 LoL No, it's James Iha you hear singing... He plays guitar and sometimes sings a song... But i can feel where u get your Beatles-idea from :D

[spaceagedevice]

some of my favorite pumpkin songs are not Billy's, but James'.

[sophierosy]

love this song, its obvious this was the kinda stuff iha loved doing.

to bad though he plays rockin electric guitar.

[theelj]

this sounds so much like My Bloody Valentine...god how i miss James. From Gish to Mellon Collie, that was the best SP era.

[bigrobbo1989]

I listen to the pumpkins a lot, and i've heard this song a few times and never really got into it. The images of such fun and beauty in this video made the song seem clearer, happier. I just cried for the first time watchign youtube. Thankyou Maeghan your videos are amazing :)

[pukarj]

sounds like james iha

[a24q7]

@pukarj Yep, it is james alright

[DUBASpiritWolf]

Such a fitting video for this beautiful song!

[willmferg]

good job

[SometimeSomeone]

Theres this one song called Place To Be thats similar to this song, its from Nick Drake. Hes one of James Iha's influences

[Porcelina777]

@SometimeSomeone Both great songs.

[glassfrehley]

favorite iha song. those strings, man!

[AveryMarx0]

More vocals from the other bandmates would of been interesting

[thetheRedundant]

This should have been on Mellon Collie instead of ' Take Me Down'

[spaceagedevice]

one of my favorites. James wrote some great songs.

[carrla10]

LOVE IT! so beautiful :D ahhh iha.... genious

[Renitamac]

I think James did the best material.

[vostin]

@Renitamac That's because you're a punani

[shblck222]

this is one of those videos you come across by accident, but end up falling in love with. probably never would have heard it if it weren't for youtube; thanks for posting!

[ednocondriaco]

No es el mejor, pero ahí está la ensoñación lujosísima de la canción titular The Bells, de la que alguien debería hacer una versión shoegaze.

[leodorn]

(Heart leaps with joy!!) James Iha is the unsung hero in SP. The dude is every bit as creative as Billy and this song proves it. For such a short composition, it is so rich in texture and feeling, not to mention it being a song dedicated to Christ during a time when most rock musicians were anti-christian, I think James was courageous to create this ingenious work. I feel my heart heal everytime I hear this...thank you so much, maeghan1edits!!!

[bazmanj]

as always, most excellent maeghan.
