This song brings back memories of my one true love. Falling asleep to this at night with her in my arms and spending our weeks lazily laying in bed with the album on repeat. now they are just a distant memory.....
This brings me back two winters ago, when I first got into the Pumpkins, I would walk laps around my neighbor hood in the snow with this whole album playing, but this song I feel will always be one of my favorites. God Bless the Pumpkins, and every memory shared with their music.
i still remember those tears going down my face while i used to listen to this song many times....the song brings back a lot of painfull memories... and i still crye with it... nothing more to say.... i love the song... its one of my favorites...
i can't listen to this song without getting goosebumps, i don't know why. Even if I'm having a bad day, this song just makes me think about everything that is beautiful in my life. I can't thank you enough.
actually i don't like this and i'm not gonna whiter and die but i suspect this is where that other--alternative rock--road leads for at least a good many years.
This songs reminds me of a show at the State Theater in Detroit. It was a beautiful night and we were walking from the show to our car. There was this homeless guy who we walked past who had very worn tennis shoes. He had no socks and his foot was exposed to the pavement due to big holes. I took my socks and shoes off and gave then to him, right then. He said, 'Thank you brother." I walked on barefooted in Detroit after enjoying the Smashin Pumpkins show...and it's a memory for a lifetime.
@felix8989 Yeah, that's true. But this has an entire theme to it. And it's like one piece of art, where as The White Album seems more like a compilation of Beatles, doesn't run as one piece like this.
Having said that, there's not a bad song on The White Album. Apart from maybe Revolution 9, that stuff's mad.
@LiquidSolidusSnake What about "The Wall"? Mellon Collie is one of my favourite albums but I think Pink Floyd's masterpiece is more unified that this album, mainly because it tells a narrative and they rework the same basic riff throughout but it never gets tired.
@extropian I'm sure whoever this was to really appreciates you mentioning The Wall, since it is absolutely fantastic. But I am just hoping that by this comment you are not in any way comparing The Wall to Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, because to do something like that would be absolutely absurd. There is no comparison.
I remember listening to this song when it 1st came out.. I was living in hawaii On the island of O'ahu and i live in kialua and worked in honolulu so i had to drive along the coast to get home everynight.. I remember listening to it and watching the whales danching off in the distant ocean horizon.. and thats a true story.. ill forget those days. back on mainland now.. kinda makes me miss hawaii
@estranged55 yeah this is a beautiful song from smashing pumpkins and I can just Imagine the whales dancing on the beautiful Coastline off our Island Shores...Hope all is well with you in the Mainland...Aloha
Sounds absolutely beautiful... like maybe even the song didn't last long enough to encapsulate the experience, but worth it nonetheless. Always try to hold a memory like that :)
@dinnersd No, it is not completely normal. It means you are a candid, sensitive human being with a heart...something that seems to be lost on far, far too many in this world.
I think Billy Corgan is a flat out genius. As we age we start doubting ourselves, our abilities - remember that he was young, about 28 when this album was released, so he's writing it from the perspective of unbridled youth - all of the experiences of a teenager and twenty-something shoe-horned into a dbl album - just brilliant to capture a generation that sees hope as something intangible.
Is that last note a C or D flat? This is driving me nuts. I have a score someone transcribed out (I can't hear that well), and it all sounds perfect except that last note. It says it's a C, but it sounds exactly like a D flat to me. But like I said, I can't hear too well; I may be wrong. Someone help!
This song is wonderful. Easy to understand some people want it played at their weddings, and others at their funeral. immensely beautiful.
The Infinite Sadness is outstanding too, as is the whole album, though it's dark and sometimes grotesque. I have always liked concept albums, and there are always at least a couple songs which make mainsream venues and charts, while the rest of the songs illuminate an idea, story, or philosophy. Often the unity of the project is kinda sketchy.
I get weird looks sometimes when I say they're my favorite band. I think people recall Zero or Bullet With Butterfly Wings when I say that. Maybe Cherub Rock or Rhinoceros if they're a little older. All good songs, but not songs that make them my favorite band - I think of this, and Adore, and the other more personal music written at times when Billy wasn't trying to be a rock star. So he's got an ego problem, big deal. Doesn't change how wonderful this music is and always will be.
Yeah I too Went to this show back in the 96/97s cant remember exactly what year it was I think it was in charlotte! It was awesome. It was a show you could just sit down and watch and be amazed. I would do anything to go back to the 90's we had some awesome artist coming out and making it! And then they all just seemed to fade away! But those song never get old! A decade later still listenin. The pumokins such an original sound!
I remember when they toured for this album in '96/'97 I believe, they'd open up the show playing this song with the lights out in the arena and the crowd having their lighters out. What an amazing moment hearing this with lighters lit all around.
For me time and the world just stops for a moment. It's only me and this beautiful song, but also when i hear this song i always picture an orchestra with all the instruments playing themselves
This is just the 2 best online reactions on this song for about a year now

i remembe rwhen i was around five riding in my brothers 1972 GTO listing to this song and him telling me one day when ur grown up ull thank this band well... Thank you Smashing Pumpkins
I found this album lying around my parent's pile of albums, and never hear dthe Smashing Pumpkins, so I gave it a listen. This was the first song by the Smashing Pumpkins I heard. I knew I was in for a hell of an album, and I was pretty much spot on with that assumption.
My brother always says he doesnt understand how I can listen to the Pumpkins because his voice is so annoying. Even if you do think that, which i dont, you have to appreciate his unbelievable songwriting ability. This is a prime example. Simply beautiful.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
honestly this song is horrible, i love smashing pumpkins, but I just can't appreciate an instrumental song when they have such an amazing and unique vocalist, it feels like a waste to me.
This was pretty much one of the first songs I ever heard in my life. My mother introduced the Smashing Pumpkins to me when I was really young and I have loved them since. It's horrible how musicians as wonderful as them and many others are being underrated by today's generation and overshadowed by musicians with only half or no talent at all with songs that are meaningless and vulgar. This is beauty at its peak, I'm just glad at least SOME people still appreciate them along with other greats.
@iData86 My mom showed me Smashing Pumpkins too she even took me to see them live when I was like 10. I owe it to my mom for instilling a taste of good music in me.
@iData86 Absolutely. I'm 15, and I find it rather sad some presume to listen to music with absolutely no meaning. Like the sound is all that matters. I love bands like Smashing Pumpkins and Marilyn Manson with all sorts of underlying messages in their music. I'm more of a writer myself, so I'd say I especially appreciate lyrics. I can't believe what the majority would have as "art." Humans seem to have lost spirituality in things of beauty and great marvel. But the world will never change.
beautiful, almost brings a tear to your eye, its amazing how the start of the album is a song with a magnificent piano part, and ends with one as well, who could of thought of something like that.
My exhusband always said he wanted this song played at his funeral. He said it for years.. And it ended up being our wedding song that I walked down the isle to. It was actually sort of an accident.. Irony at its finest
@fluffymczips no offense but your not very deep. this song isnt supposed to be a melodic masterpiece it is just a beautiful song that makes you think about life.
This song is beautiful. I don't like using that word much because when you overuse it, it has no meaning...and honestly sounds stupid. But this, this is just...beautiful. I love it. It made my eyes all watery and reminded me of someone I knew who died in the summer, before she could even go to middle school. In a weird way, I think this is a happy song, because I think of memories.
im a big metalhead but the Smashing Pumpkins along with STP and Soundgarden will always be c lose to my heart. and songs like this are the reasons why. you dont hear many songs like this that pull you in and just sit you in a calming atmosphere. this song means alot to me and reminds me of alot of things. im stationed in yokosuka, japan and this song reminds me of home, where i bought this album at a garage sale (great deal for only 3 bux) and it reminds me of my buddy who died of bone cancer.

Corgan is a sellout now, that's why he can't make good music. When you only care about the money, the inspiration is gone. But in the day, SP was great. Billy was great. I'm a big fan, but don't expect them to do anything anymore.
It takes anonymity, pain, and pressure to create inspiration to create something truly amazing. You won't get it from someone who's been making millions and is years or decades removed from those hard times.
he only cares about the money thats why on serveral tours they gave away the money to charities (all of it) and the next pumpkin album is being released digitally for free... o what a sellout
I notice how everyone has written down what this song means to them. I think some of the things written here are beautiful. People thinking about childhood memories and loved ones. The brilliance is as some have said, this song can be anything you want it to be. For me it reminds me of my old band mate, he was a good friend and he changed as a person but I don't lose faith because of songs like this. Billy Corgan truely knows how to pull on your heart strings, I have so much respect for him.
My brother used to play this on piano all the time. I never knew what it was called or where it was from. I just HAPPENED to stumble upon it. It's truly magnificent.
I would say it was forgotten too easily though because of the bullshit Billy Corgan has been talking for the past few years. The whole reason there hasn't been an album for so long is because he says nobody buys music, they just download the one hit single from the album. Pretty sad how making music this beautiful isn't reason enough to create it. If I made a double album that was of this caliber, I would never doubt myself on my writing abilities ever again.
i agree though the rest of the smashing pumpkins left billy was the only one who ever made the music though i respect him for being an true artist and not faking a good album i wish he would go back to the stuff he did on mellon collie and even siamese dreams but no less this is still a good song
he was tiring to get at the fact they don't appreciate the cd the just want the single that everyone knows so y make something when its not appreciated cus i wouldn't
@andrex1212 What other reason is there to writing music, than writing it for yourself? I mean, honestly... how much passion and "soul" can you put into music if you're writing it for others? Fuck what other people think, and fuck if people buy the music or download the one hit single from the album. Making music the way YOU want it is the only fucking reason (and reason well enough) to create it. Anything less just renders you a disillusioned artist, or not an artist at all.
@chrirus2006 Well put....this is EXACTLY how I feel. In my opinion the music that was made in this way is the very best music....and is what is truly worth finding amongst all of the garbage.
@andrex1212 Therein lies the difference between the amateur and the professional, though. One does it for love, one for a living. While there is some give and take, if it's your bread and butter you really can't rely on artistic love to get you through, no matter how Bohemian.
@ftroman Ah, but see, that all depends on how you define yourself. I have several releases and am doing a lot of remix work, as well a lot of behind the scenes work for other artists. It is currently my primary source of income, and I still turn down work if the end result is expected to be of a character with which I do not want to be affiliated. You have one life... do you really want to waste it on conformity? No one remembers a conformist; people remember those who dare dream. Be deliberate.
@andrex1212 Couldn't agree more. This song is inspiring and sets the stage for an equally inspiring double album. Lots of memories attatched to this album for me. If quality music still matters or even exists in 10 - 20 years I hope people will look back at albums like this in the same light as those from Led Zepplin and the Beatles. Classics that should not be forgotton.
@andrex1212 very well said. i've been dieing to make my own album since i was only 15 (i'm 19 now) but i'm afraid it won't happen... even my music lecturer @ college suggested i focus on singles as "albums are dieing out". i felt like crying at that point. music is my damn life, i have to find a way to get albums out there someway... HAVE to!!
@lewisaquilina Albums aren't dying out; your lecturer is incorrect... mainstream singles are the death of music. You just have to find the right scene and appeal to the right audience. I am only 16, and I've recorded and produced an album just this past year. I sent it in to 91.9 WFPK Radio, and was invited to play a live show in front of hundreds. A few months later I was aired, with thousands of listeners. I didn't think that was even possible, especially at 16. Have hope
@randomwebsurfer I'm 13 and SP is my favorite band of all time. I am a huge fan. I own all of the box sets and CDs, as well as DVDs. I'm about 40% done with an album of my own. Midnight Dreams is what I've decided to call it. I've been working on it for just over a year. It's a wonderful experience.
@andrex1212 I think the problem with Billy is that he seems as if he lost his passion for the music he creates. You don't get that beautiful kind of self-blooming and uplifting feeling from the songs on Adore etc, but when you listen to something from Siamese Dream or a few from Mellon Collie it whisks you away. I dare anyone to watch a live performance of Mayoniase from a little after the album came out, then watch it now. You can see Corgan's love for music in the older one.
this song reminds me of driving around the east shore of O'ahu along the coast listening to this song and watching the waves crash along the rock cliffs.. from time to time you could catch a whale flipping its tail in the water.. it was awesome time in my life. to live in hawaii
no offence to anyone but this isn't mass or a spirtual gathering... it's a song. listen to it and enjoy it! nobody asked for any life stories (well, not that i know of)
This piece of music reminds me of my first love... 1996, carefree and happy.... we were going to play it at our wedding.... unfortunately we broke up 2 years later :-( I still think of him and smile whenever I hear it.....
So what if it had Many criticisms.. Everyone is different.. Let me Love what i love... You do the same.. Cuz everyOne is good and Likes different things Like music..
listening to this song for the first time made me remember every sad thing that had happened to me and how i could appreciate every good thing in my life. wow, that is one sad song
when my dad had his stroke , I had just bought this cd .. when i came home from the hospital , this was the first song I heard , it always reminds me how much I loved him.,,,,.....
it reminds me of college in 96. Me and my best mate, Curtis. Loved him so much. He killed himself two years ago. People I love keep leaving my life. My dad, my best friend,. I just wanna die....
In a bad way. Stuck back living with my mom, no job and I hardly ever get to see my 19 year old son who is depending on me to pay for school. Pray that Jesus provides for me because I still feel abandoned and not provided for. Amen
Hey buddy, I understand your pain and I will pray that Jesus gives you peace and comfort. Hang in there, things will get better for you I promise! God gave us two really amazing gifts: Jesus and music. Surely that means he cares for us.
im walking down the aisle to this song. its the most beautiful instrumental by my favourite band. how much more perfect could u get? first dance is hallelujah, jeff buckleys version
Seriously, alternative rock doesn't get more beautiful than the album 'Mellon Collie...' There are so many variations to the album to fit in your different types of moods.
My husband walked down the aisle to this song at our wedding. It was beautiful.

This was pretty much one of the first songs I ever heard in my life. My mother introduced the Smashing Pumpkins to me when I was really young and I have loved them since. It's horrible how musicians as wonderful as them and many others are being underrated by today's generation and overshadowed by musicians with only half or no talent at all with songs that are meaningless and vulgar. This is beauty at its peak, I'm just glad at least SOME people still appreciate them along with other greats.

@iData86 My mom showed me Smashing Pumpkins too she even took me to see them live when I was like 10. I owe it to my mom for instilling a taste of good music in me.
BrootalMetalBanjo 1 year ago
@iData86 Absolutely. I'm 15, and I find it rather sad some presume to listen to music with absolutely no meaning. Like the sound is all that matters. I love bands like Smashing Pumpkins and Marilyn Manson with all sorts of underlying messages in their music. I'm more of a writer myself, so I'd say I especially appreciate lyrics. I can't believe what the majority would have as "art." Humans seem to have lost spirituality in things of beauty and great marvel. But the world will never change.

beautiful, almost brings a tear to your eye, its amazing how the start of the album is a song with a magnificent piano part, and ends with one as well, who could of thought of something like that.

My exhusband always said he wanted this song played at his funeral. He said it for years.. And it ended up being our wedding song that I walked down the isle to. It was actually sort of an accident.. Irony at its finest

This song is beautiful. I don't like using that word much because when you overuse it, it has no meaning...and honestly sounds stupid. But this, this is just...beautiful. I love it. It made my eyes all watery and reminded me of someone I knew who died in the summer, before she could even go to middle school. In a weird way, I think this is a happy song, because I think of memories.

im a big metalhead but the Smashing Pumpkins along with STP and Soundgarden will always be c lose to my heart. and songs like this are the reasons why. you dont hear many songs like this that pull you in and just sit you in a calming atmosphere. this song means alot to me and reminds me of alot of things. im stationed in yokosuka, japan and this song reminds me of home, where i bought this album at a garage sale (great deal for only 3 bux) and it reminds me of my buddy who died of bone cancer.

Corgan is a sellout now, that's why he can't make good music. When you only care about the money, the inspiration is gone. But in the day, SP was great. Billy was great. I'm a big fan, but don't expect them to do anything anymore.
It takes anonymity, pain, and pressure to create inspiration to create something truly amazing. You won't get it from someone who's been making millions and is years or decades removed from those hard times.

I notice how everyone has written down what this song means to them. I think some of the things written here are beautiful. People thinking about childhood memories and loved ones. The brilliance is as some have said, this song can be anything you want it to be. For me it reminds me of my old band mate, he was a good friend and he changed as a person but I don't lose faith because of songs like this. Billy Corgan truely knows how to pull on your heart strings, I have so much respect for him.

ajbellis 2 years ago 2
I would say it was forgotten too easily though because of the bullshit Billy Corgan has been talking for the past few years. The whole reason there hasn't been an album for so long is because he says nobody buys music, they just download the one hit single from the album. Pretty sad how making music this beautiful isn't reason enough to create it. If I made a double album that was of this caliber, I would never doubt myself on my writing abilities ever again.
andrex1212 2 years ago 82
i agree though the rest of the smashing pumpkins left billy was the only one who ever made the music though i respect him for being an true artist and not faking a good album i wish he would go back to the stuff he did on mellon collie and even siamese dreams but no less this is still a good song

@andrex1212 What other reason is there to writing music, than writing it for yourself? I mean, honestly... how much passion and "soul" can you put into music if you're writing it for others? Fuck what other people think, and fuck if people buy the music or download the one hit single from the album. Making music the way YOU want it is the only fucking reason (and reason well enough) to create it. Anything less just renders you a disillusioned artist, or not an artist at all.

@andrex1212 Therein lies the difference between the amateur and the professional, though. One does it for love, one for a living. While there is some give and take, if it's your bread and butter you really can't rely on artistic love to get you through, no matter how Bohemian.

@ftroman Ah, but see, that all depends on how you define yourself. I have several releases and am doing a lot of remix work, as well a lot of behind the scenes work for other artists. It is currently my primary source of income, and I still turn down work if the end result is expected to be of a character with which I do not want to be affiliated. You have one life... do you really want to waste it on conformity? No one remembers a conformist; people remember those who dare dream. Be deliberate.

@andrex1212 Couldn't agree more. This song is inspiring and sets the stage for an equally inspiring double album. Lots of memories attatched to this album for me. If quality music still matters or even exists in 10 - 20 years I hope people will look back at albums like this in the same light as those from Led Zepplin and the Beatles. Classics that should not be forgotton.

HAVE to!!
lewisaquilina 1 year ago
@lewisaquilina Albums aren't dying out; your lecturer is incorrect... mainstream singles are the death of music. You just have to find the right scene and appeal to the right audience. I am only 16, and I've recorded and produced an album just this past year. I sent it in to 91.9 WFPK Radio, and was invited to play a live show in front of hundreds. A few months later I was aired, with thousands of listeners. I didn't think that was even possible, especially at 16. Have hope

@randomwebsurfer I'm 13 and SP is my favorite band of all time. I am a huge fan. I own all of the box sets and CDs, as well as DVDs. I'm about 40% done with an album of my own. Midnight Dreams is what I've decided to call it. I've been working on it for just over a year. It's a wonderful experience.

@andrex1212 I think the problem with Billy is that he seems as if he lost his passion for the music he creates. You don't get that beautiful kind of self-blooming and uplifting feeling from the songs on Adore etc, but when you listen to something from Siamese Dream or a few from Mellon Collie it whisks you away. I dare anyone to watch a live performance of Mayoniase from a little after the album came out, then watch it now. You can see Corgan's love for music in the older one.
