One of my favourite Taproot songs. I was pleasantly shocked when I heard it was Billy, my favourite musician, who wrote it (and helped with the BSR album). Great to hear Billy's demo.
Blue sky is one of my favorite albums of all time! They worked great together, it's to bad the album didn't get promoted worth a shit or taproot wouldve been huge!
I don't get it, he writes something beautiful like this for *another* band and then writes Widow Wake My Mind for SP? Widow Wake My Mind isn't bad, but I think that Lost in the Woods is way prettier.

lol did he forget all the words? Those definitely aren't the words to the song and it sounds like he's making it up as he goes. I mean it's possible he rewrote the song.
It is on Taproot's album Blue Sky Research. Billy collaborated with them on the album, and wrote the song for them. Theirs is pretty different though arrangement and lyrics wise.
As far as anyone knows, this is the only recording of Billy playing it.
I love billy corgan... I don't think any other songwriter could ever touch me like he does... I hugged him once at a book signing...*sigh*..Good times
"I don't think any other songwriter could ever touch me like he does" I know EXACTLY what you mean. He always seems to know just what I want/need to hear.
Simply amazing. . why BC continues to write songs for other bands instead of recording them himself baffles me. He is our modern day Bob Dylan. . . . amazing!
this song is called "lost in the woods". its a song that billy wrote for taproot. this was the first time he played it for them, and its a member of taproot recording this. i think they butchered this song with their version, but i'm a little bias.
Two people are soulless.

But anyway, why does he do that?

Why doesn't he release these kind of songs instead of the awful sound he produces with the new SP lineup?

Really good because its a simple guitar rift picked and then on top of that i would say the lyrics are melodically complicated
works pretty cool ya!
