Smashing Pumpkins - Methusela

[willmferg]

one of my favorites

[libertarianjury]

Man, Billy, Fuck John Searle, LOL. Great lyrics though. You are such an awesome intellectual. I'd like you to come along to immortality with me and my friends. :D Not sure though... Can you dig freedom? I have to be free...

[GermanPeoplePerson]

@libertarianjury are you on acid? lol you make no sense

[76jnette]

@libertarianjury dude what do u mean by this.....?

[CONMURDER]

I've had this song in my head for days, and I think it is the soundtrack to this stupid 2010

[blindbaby96]

Man, i luv this song, its too bad it never got its recognition or radio air play

A true SP fan would only know this awesome song

Billy ur awesome!!

[furryfurball1221]

He really hate being that guy, but could anyone email an Mp3 of this song, I can't find it.

[33MellonCollie]

ALL Pumpkins rule! EVERY SINGLE THING HE'S EVER WRITTEN. LONG LIVE THE MIGHTY SP!!!!!!!!

[david9621]

WHERE... DID YOU.... GET THIS PIICTURE???!!

i would love to put that above my keyboard } )

p.s. i agree with chestersmith

[Noussen]

@david9621 The picture is a screenshot from "Today" music video :)

[cptn3beard]

@willmferg ... the video discription

[MCKOER]

off the mcis tapes, either gravity demos or the 666 tapes if memory serves me correctly!! rip the original sp.. they were never the same after 2000... :( billy you misunderstood perfectionist genious..

[cpd11]

you are really full of yourself arent you noussen.

[brandonedge]

it's "i didn't think i'd miss a thing, cause nothing ever lasts" not "course nothing ever lasts". that makes no sense. this song is in my top 10. could've been a single.

[cpd11]

watch4 is the original pumpkins motherfucker

[MrChesterSmith]

An absolutely beautiful song. I've always been astounded that Billy never did anything with it. Just wish the mix wasn't so noisy.

[themooddisorders]

I have better songs.....of course, I am allowed to write crap without a music contract! Billy Corgan writes crap with a record contract! He da man!

[medellia85]

@themooddisorders Nice attempt at trying to say that you're better than BC, but I have to disagree. I just gave your "band" a listen to, and if you think your music is even better than this song, you need your damn ears checked.

[TheSPumpkin100]

@medellia85 I agree

[TheSPumpkin100]

@themooddisorders Dude. You should never compare yourself to SP or Billy Corgan again. You don't come anywhere near their/ his skill level. Stop trying.

[fitness3life]

you are right about the b sides

[33MellonCollie]

Anyone know how to play this on piano???? =(

[Lith333]

I like how they use the "Today" music video picture. I think it might symbolize innocence in how he looks up and sees couples having sex and he goes back to reading his comic book

[cpd11]

after hearing this song i realized that the greatest pumpkins are the b-sides. no doubt about it.

[treesandballoons]

piango. mi hai fregato ancora, pelato malefico.

[Noussen]

I'm sorry?

[tommytwocaps]

is that i like a im sorry say that 2 my face sorry or like o im sorry in the like ur sorry way? o and thanks 4 putting this song up its reallly good

[Noussen]

That's the "I'm sorry are you stupid or have you got no life?". Or the "I'm sorry, why would I need to get laid? I'm a good looking woman with a boyfriend, a job, friends, a life, and a huge music interest = my youtube channel".

[OwrKeeng]

Can you give that all up and date me instead *_*

[dougfresh514]

would you like to put yourself any higher up on that pedistal.

[cpd11]

thats good your overseas

[nezeralus]

yes thank you. i havent heard this song for about 8 years. thank you thank you.

[patkawasaki]

Nah, this is the type of whiney crap that ruined the Pumpkins.

Billy, take some drugs, stand on the wah-wah pedal and give us hell.

[GolDHawK3x]

amazing song.

thats why i love them

[Lith333]

Thank you Noussen for uploading this song.

[neilsft]

ive never been able to just passively listen to music.. its like a drug.. pink floyd is my acid.. and smashing pumpkins.. is meth

[AOCRkid]

lol.

[Sharpster7]

sounds like the old REM paino-ish songs... the chinese boxes lyric reminds me of seven chinese brothers... anyone else hear it??

[Lith333]

This song along with "The Tale of Dusty and Pistol Pete" as well as "Jennifer Ever" are my favorite Smashing Pumpkins songs.

[nitzkaulitz]

i love them so muchh ^^

[LadyChikititaBlue]

I stumbled unto this song just a few minutes ago. Jumping from video to video, played it 2 times, no biggie, 3 times, still not really listening because i'm still thinking in Spanish as i'm doing the rest of my net surfing because English is not my mother language.

So i decided to read the lyrics and find out what is it that has stopped me from viewing other videos. Wow. Its another Smashing Pumpkins favorite in my heart.

[medellia85]

Billy has enough demos to make 30 more albums :)

[medellia85]

1:10 beautiful transition

[arsenallad]

0:56 to 1:09 is the same melody used for the end is the begining is the end.

[brandonedge]

how you could write a song this f'ing great and not release it i'll never understand. this one and 'towers of rabble' really should've made it on the TAFH box.

[nataschart]

oh ...such a beautiful song...♥

[medellia85]

i whole-heartedly agree :)

[blindbaby96]

Love this song-awesome, thx to Noussen for the lyrics. I almost had all of them written down lol I wonder if this is about Billys father??

[sXeback1304]

yeah its deff. about his dad, billy's father was a really bad father, he was abusive and a drunk

[Culdune]

This is one of Billy's more multifaceted melodic structures. Really confessional lyrics ... really beautiful. This song would've been brilliant on "Adore" !

[jsphil]

I think this song is about how men in our society don't really know what it means to be a man and because of this have not really quite grown up.

[kittyhawk13]

this song reminds me of "Something wicked this way comes" by Ray Bradbury. Methusala was the name of character in the circus who got younger by riding the mery-go-round backwards.

[DanBL0N00]

where do u get all these rare songs from?

[simeoneous]

Everything you could want, and a whole lot more:

[BillyCorgan777]

I thought I heard it all...

Thank you!

[djaliplume]

this song always makes me sad for some reason. All the best cowboys have daddy issues.

[maeghan1edits]

Yay Mellon Collie demos... this is a good one. I always wondered why they didn't use it (even as a b-side).

[sexydanny21awesome]

Did you know that most of the mellon collie demos were put on auro plane flys high

[maeghan1edits]

The b-sides were. Demos weren't. I do have a bootleg of the demos, though.

[pynepyne]

Werent the remaining demos used for pestacio medley (spelling :/) which is on AFH?

[maeghan1edits]

Oh yeah, but that's only little pieces of the songs...

[asublimefan]

I love this song... thanks so much noussen.
