Billy Corgan is the one who wrote this song although Jimmy, James, and Darcy played the music for this in studio. Billy Corgan (vocals piano), Jimmy Chamberlain (drums and percussion) James Iha (lead guitar) Darcy Wretzky (backing vocals, base guitar, and violin).
@Pandapple1995 - No, LOL. At the end of the song he says, I know you love me because as they're dragging me away, I swear I see her raise her hand and wave. . . good bye. . .
I always thought this was such a great, cute song, and then the first time I *really* heard the lyrics I nearly crashed the car.
I think it's very sweet that this song is for his cat....pets can be wonderful and they give us a lot of love unconditional...reminds me the song "Delilah" of Freddy Mercury, for his female cat too...
where the hell did you read that? i think someones taking the piss. The liner notes on mellon collie say all songs written by billy corgan except "take me down" (iha) and "farewell and goodnight" (corgan & iha)
If there was one band i could take into my nuclear bunker. They would be it. In fact anything Billy or Jimmy did. those two are the most amazing hardworking dudes ever!
@rushkagon hmmm I was a big pumpkinfan back in the day and there was always some strange fascination about James Iha but honestly looking back now it seems unfair to compare them as equals, Billy is/was in a entirely different league.
Lost their passion after mellon collie? No way, have you heard adore or the machinas'? Crestfallen, wound, innocence, these songs have more passion than a lot of today's bands songs ever will. The Pumpkins have evolved over time as we do, ever changing, so of course their sounds changed with them. Billy is a revolutionary, think about it, where would Eric Clapton, David Bowie, just to name a few be without evolving?
i agree. people usually doesnt accept changes that's why... mozart made fresh music and changes but neglected, and now he is one of the greatest composers

When Jimmy and the keyboardist overdosed on heroin, Jimmy survived but the keyboardist died, Jimmy was then fired. The Pumpkins were never as popular again...

Lost their passion after mellon collie? No way, have you heard adore or the machinas'? Crestfallen, wound, innocence, these songs have more passion than a lot of today's bands songs ever will. The Pumpkins have evolved over time as we do, ever changing, so of course their sounds changed with them. Billy is a revolutionary, think about it, where would Eric Clapton, David Bowie, just to name a few be without evolving?
