TODAY LYRICS-SMASHING PUMPKINS

[xBambiSlaughterx]

The lyrics are brillant, and the music as well. ♥

[xXelmarcoCFCXx]

Fucking amazing song. Get's especially powerful once you know what the song's about.

[SkatasticKatheryn]

COMIC SAAANNNSSS!!!!

[ChrisWeissStarr]

i listened to this song on gh world tour, it was better on that game in 2008, but it's great in 2009 and 2010 and 2011 to listen to it.

[JenniferPHendrix]

Good music stands the test of time.  This is it.

[dhoszmendoza]

[kyatzz]

@dhoszmendoza you probably did im guessing..

[dhoszmendoza]

@kyatzz YES I DID :)))))))

[ChazWTFLOL]

@dhoszmendoza Nope, sorry.

[dhoszmendoza]

@ChazWTFLOL KDOT :))))

[misstree75]

who cares how or why it was written. People can interpret what they want when it comes to music.

[skrewflanders]

guessing you didn't catch the sarcasm?

[skrewflanders]

this song is obviously about his birthday and how happy he is. "i wanted more than life could ever grant me" he wants presents, "pink ribbons" how the presents are wrapped. geez some people can't see the forest thru the trees....

[mmmmhonda]

@skrewflanders pink ribbon scars...

[mimic1965]

@skrewflanders .....and you are one or them,If you bothered to look up the real meaning of the song you would know you are way off target.

[mactwisty]

Yes sir

[EvanescenceXKISS]

I listen to TSP because I can relate to some of the messages in their songs. Like in the song "Today", I can totally relate to this because I injure myself and I have suicidal thoughts but not many people know about it or even know the reasons for it. I even have some depression but I don't take any medications for it or anything like that. Well, I shouldn't have to. I got really depressed because I lost people I love. TSP cheers me up a little bit. Thank you, TSP. Thank you so much.

[IDoWhatIWantTV]

@EvanescenceXKISS If you're ever bummed out, i reccommend listening to switchfoot. I normally dont like that type of music, but it really cheers me up :)

[pwned1122]

i like how most comments on this song are like "woot woot! today IS the greatest!!"

while this song was written when he was depressed and was having suicidal thoughts. not to mention the lyrics about self mutilation.

[CrossPain11]

@pwned1122

^

Listen to this guy

[MusicisSanity3]

@pwned1122 not many people now adays actually LISTEN to music the just hear it and say thats good stuff.....not too many people can relate to the emotional message the lyrics portray. what has our generation come to

[MetalChickxX]

@pwned1122 yep your right

[Pflanz2891]

[2441kyle]

Ironic as this may seem, but last year, when I was informed that I am fired from my job, this song is playing on loop on my mp3 player that day.

[VEVOTroll]

this song is the tits

[IcyAndSami]

i seriously wish there were more people like you guys that are commenting that went to my school im an outcast because im the only person in my whole school who doesnt listen to all that hip hop and stuff i only listen to some of eminems stuff, but the stuff that i do listen to by him has meaning and no one else listens to it

[cleCAVSftw]

@IcyAndSami i know what you mean, sometimes it feels like you're the only one like yourself. it's really hard.

[IcyAndSami]

@cleCAVSftw well im here if u ever need to talk

[TheKaylaisasandfleal]

The older Smashing Pumpkins had more but the new is kinda okay!

[BowieBeatlesPeace]

This is like my favorite song but wtf why is everybody going crazy about rap just because YOU or anybody else dont like it doesent mean other people shouldent listen to it CALM THE FUCK DOWN if you dont like it dont listen to it and stop talking about it not all rap is shit everything dosent have to have a meaning!

[bigfatmac93]

I don't get why people dislike these types of videos. If you don't like the band, don't even bother to go to the video! It's that damn simple.

[GreekRocker00]

i like smashing pumpkins and billy corgan.

i think this song is the best song of 90's

[itsnellybitch12]

[iwillrockurEMOworld]

@AnnaThePopStar1 nope im 15 and imma girl -emo- and my bf is 16 -emo- so yerpp but i know a 40 yr old man???

[Skeletor303]

@iwillrockurEMOworld If youre listening to "Today" by the smashing pumpkins and have a boyfriend you are definitely not emo, and should learn to be your own person instead of fitting an image you think is cool. but hey, at least youre listening to good music.

[Skeletor303]

@AnnaThePopStar1 shut up troll.

[AnnaThePopStar1]

@Skeletor303 nou

[jsivinsk]

[TheNirvanagurl]

[falleinloveshoes7]

I'm glad almost half of my friends know what talent is lol,actually,the whole entire high school I attend to.

[AvengedDrums]

@falleinloveshoes7 What fucking high school do you go to? I wanna come too! :D

[hineni53]

When I was younger I was such a boyscout always doing the right thing. Now I am older I regret I wasn't a bad boy

[Gamerdude4496]

@hineni53 nah, the "badboys" usually end up drug addicted losers in the future.

[wubby1318]

umm its cool

[EyesOnTheSunrise]

I feel a natural high everytime i listen to this song

[tardonamoto9]

I want to wake up every morning to this song.

[jflysocal]

[MattA1GP]

@tardonamoto9 Not that difficult to do if you've got an iPod.

[SharpAdze]

@tardonamoto9 YOU CAN WITH THE IPOD HUMAN!!!!! HOLDS 7 SONGS NOW YAY!!!!!!

[sonicluver568]

I love this band sooo much!!

[sethtaco63]

these people of the 90's are so lucky. the music actually meant something. todays crap is just about getting a girlfreind or some shit like that. i was born in 98. man i wish i couldve grew up in the 90's instead of this post war era

[bossofthebeach]

i reallt like this song they even had it on rock band. i sang that song and other songs but this was the greatest one for me.i like so like this song because i like how the rythm goes.just if you want to know my name is maggie pineda and i am eight years old and i am a third grader and i like this song so much

[SlightlyOffBalance]

Perfect wedding song :)

[OurIdleDays]

@SlightlyOffBalance It's about suicide.

[FTWorWTF]

@OurIdleDays that's why it's a perfect wedding song, am i right guys?

[SlightlyOffBalance]

@OurIdleDays Well, that makes me look stupid...

I guess I need to look at the lyrics more. I always saw it as a optimistic "Can't wait for tomorrow"

And I thank you for letting me know about that :)

[damiansdoomsday]

yeah, world's so sad and dumb :( ...lol.

[FastWieJesus]

Flying...

[2kool4you2eat]

12 people can't read

[MzEvilPixie]

I like the smashing pumkins.. But I love their music!

The thing I don't like about them is... I love their music so much I can't stand it..!

[Soupistheone]

I have this one Rock Band 2!

[jonathanisawesome100]

this a good song but rap is not all shit

[tylerlovesthebeatles]

The first line in the second verse is "Today is the greatest day I've NEVER known" (around 1:30)

[ShianneSyanide]

Thumbs up if you like SP before Rock Band and all that shit.;)

[jasontxmexdat972]

TURN UP DAMNIT!!!  LOUDER!!!!

[jose5427]

fucking good

[ValterBlackDemon]

@MrRherron and that is completely untrue and a low blow to Nirvana... you should be ashamed...

[ValterBlackDemon]

@MrRherron They're really good and all, but they aren't the GODS people make them out to be when it comes to skill...

[bonifidej]

@ValterBlackDemon the lyrics are god like, and the atmosphere they create is. sure not the most complex pieces created but you dont have to be complex to make great music.

[ValterBlackDemon]

@bonifidej I know, but we were actually talking about Slash and Angus Young... lol... not SP

[bonifidej]

@ValterBlackDemon i was talking about nirvana

[zakiamarie1]

I Like This Song On Rockband 2

[jwmja]

I like 1979 better.

[midgetmayo]

@jwmja I like today better

[iaiceikiingi47i]

@MrRherron I like AC DC and GNR, and Slash and Young both are good guitarists, but they aren't as good as a lot of people make them out to be. Nirvana and the Smashing Pumpkins I think are great though. Maybe it's just my taste in music.

[iaiceikiingi47i]

@MrRherron I'm not talking about fame, I'm talking about how talented they were. Nirvana would be famous either way, but Kurt Cobain's death probably did make them more famous now. However, regardless of how popular they were or are, Nirvana is a great band. People go on and on about how great of a guitarist Slash and Angus Young are, but neither is that great. Angus Young may have some of the best stage presence of all time, but other then that both bands aren't that great in my opinion.

[Turnerisum415]

well this song is the dopest. Really i hear smashing pumpkins and i also hear Roach Gigz i mix it up ... thats how kids should be now and days you know. (>'_')>

[nicholtammy]

the only thing I ever learned to play was the beginning best song ever
