Smashing Pumpkins "To Sheila"

[PoorBoysLiquir]

yeah def one of the greats of the grunge era, im more of an alice man myself, but all the same the pumpkins have always found a place in my heart the messages aren't always clear but even when muffled they seem to bring cheer. i would kill to see them live again!!! dont even know if billy corgan is still doin his thing, i know they had an album drop a couple years back but i havent seen shit of em since then.

[theuglyrose]

I think about you every time I hear this song.

[WICKEDvCLOWN]

There a fucking awesome band but i dont think i have ever cried to there songs lol

[theonedeadangel]

Great song, great video :) around 2:30. Are the pictures of bayeux cathedral??

[buissonland]

@theonedeadangel thx ! and no, this is the city of "Tours"

[bbcherokee]

And this ladies and gentleman, Is why Smashing Pumpkins are the Greatest band to grace this Earth :)

[kronos7905]

What an extraordinary video accompanying this masterpiece!

[cheyennej1306]

This is my love and I's song :D

[TheShanti101]

i am only 14 and i think that this song is a piece of art that even i can understand all of my friends say i am strange but in all its worth it because i get to listen to this amazing song every day

[Massimiliano2873]

One of the best band! Ever!

[iamvaughn2005]

One of the Top 3 Smashing Pumpkins ever. Over the years I must have listened to this song 2,000 times

[gonzaluss]

i dont understend the lyrics. i speak spanish. but i feel it. A beautiful song.

[blacknekokun]

29 people are the discarded friends to change the scenery ...

[jemartin520]

29 of these people are too young to understand this piece of art.

[uh0oo]

One of the most haunting, and warm album, and song ever.

[meLoveChiney989]

the first time i heard this song, i must've listened to it 100x on repeat. that time is right now. i still have it on repeat...aaah.....

[dubel567]

@meLoveChiney989

So you felt compelled to hit repeat on this comment too ? :p

[meLoveChiney989]

thi first time i heard this song, i must've listened to it 100x on repeat. that time is right now. i still have it on repeat...aaah.....

[k7of9]

29 people will never know beauty

[LuauMamoe]

this was the song i'd wait to here on KROQ 106.7 in california because it rarely aired. but once i caught it, it got dubbed on several tapes, several times so i would never forget it. SOOOOO beautiful. its been over 10 years later and i still listen to this song before i go to sleep. LOL this video is exactly what i'd imagined the video for this song would be like. only...in shades of red for some reason. anyhu....good job n love this song!

[eldientedemaiz]

In my opinion, one of their best songs, of their best album. Pure poetry.

[SadPeterPan1977]

This studio recording is excellent (apart from the crickets...) but it will never be as beautiful as the first time it was played in the Viper Room on an acoustic guitar. Now that was sublime.

[ixilikegon]

oh gosh even if I'm happy I'd cry with this song :(

[aleesababy]

best love song...and they never even mentioned the word.

[EvilRootBeer]

Does anyone else come to tears when they hear this song? it just sends chills up and down my spine and brings everything ive bottled up to the open. i love this song, how could anyone not like it?

[RingLupine]

I'm going to sing this to my boyfriend, since he does make me feel real. We're going to sing songs together, but I am nervous since he has vocal training and I do not, but I will try my best. This song is so beautiful, and I will never forget it.

[TheAliceBeth]

My real name is Sheila and I love this song

[sweetlilsheila1]

@TheAliceBeth me too, gf!

[vagflu07]

A great song from a marvelous record. I just can´t understand why it´s so underreated. Great songs, with a a great and unique mood. The Pumkuns are eternal.

Fluminense FC. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. 

[victopin]

Un album impresionante que no desmerece para nada la discografia de Smashing

[pigshitpoet]

I see where the music does get depressing..

[iLikeCookie88]

Sheila is one lucky girl...

[prutsikas]

I remember myself as a teenager crying over this song....

[viniboi9]

@prutsikas

;___________;

[meab12]

why?, let me guess, girl problems, or if youre a girl, boy problems! :)

[awarh]

@prutsikas Me too! - it filled me with such emotion,,

'

[Hollywoodbabyxoxo]

I was able to dance to this song at my school's performance. <3 I can never grow tired of this song. Do you have the lyrics to this song?

[23aztek]

@Hollywoodbabyxoxo

Lyrics? I guess you have 2 ears... o_O

[Jetgui22]

Just heard it now and I can't get it of my head .

Its so good.

[spartanassain]

I truly believe that the Smashing Pumpkins are the best band ever. Without a shadow of a doubt.

[Fergster2K9]

@spartanassain pumpkins are my favorite band but to say there the best ever band wud be a huge overstatement

[scoopdeloops]

what a song to open an album.

[Bayview05]

so simple, yet so powerful

[thefuzzybumblebee]

my mumma name is sheila..... this song just makes me think of her, almost makes me cry... its so beautiful

[TheLillyShei]

@thefuzzybumblebee Your mama is a beautiful person, as are you.

[gremby]

[bts100]

Really good video, thanks so much!

[MOEhreLX101]

long time Gone !

[shivanirani1259]

unbelievably  beautiful and beautifully unbelievable

[lucasyorke]

Best band from 1991 on. And one of my favorite songs by Billy C

[libertina4]

ok I could cry after watching this, brilliant work

[TheLillyShei]

This song is awesome.

[TheLillyShei]

This song is awsome.



[TheLillyShei]

THIS SONG IS AWESOME

[calbeatty11]

Perfection.

[bluemerope7]

beautiful.

[jeffersonleandro]

I used to wake-up with this song ... in 1998 .... great song

[harlekin0263]

Thank you for make me real... ( war ich nich)

[BaldyMcBruiser]

Instantly thrown into a time machine with the first sounds of finger picking...this song defined being a lonely 6th grader. It works equally well as a college graduate.

[sl9guitar]

intake eyes. leave passing vapor trails.. awesome.

[jfckandi]

beautifull they should have payed you for that dude

[crissyyo]

My mom's name is Sheila.

[ryex76]

I Love Sheila

[TheRandomsAnV]

all time fave song

[Sters100]

oh god... I remember when my ex played it...

[PshYeahItzMe]

This is a bitter album to me...I heard adore 3 months in a row when my husband broke up with me :(

[janotosinnumeros]

Very beautiful work. I loved the editing.

[changapoblana]

what city were pics taken in?? You did excellent job protraying the nostalgia and melancholy of this song.. makes me vibrate inside.

[avernikas]

when I bought the album, one bit about this song gave me the creeps. the bit when he inhales and there's spit there, sweet mercy i had a hard time listening to that and would fast forward the CD past that point. Great album and awesome song.

[Skieness]

@avernikas lmao!

[bunnykins2110]

love it

[batboyboogie]

you should be fined for speeding! Haha beautiful upload!

[sl9guitar]

intake eyes, leave passing vapor trails...

[wwwnicedoggynl]

Very Nice Job!!! Thanks!

[usernameRobert]

25 thumbs down?????



[usernameRobert]

brings the best to you...just love them!!!!

[Limie316]

this is a really relaxing song. its good for bedtime :P

[BDIDDY2526]

as one of my friends once said, "i could totally fall in love to this song".....over and over again..........

[bazldazl]

what with the screeching sound? my cd doesnt have that.. but Thank You pumkins for this beauty

[valebam]

Très beau video.

[anais46092]

This video is exisquite and could be likened to a collage of images, which drift in and out of focus. The choice of black and white is perfect for the song.

[btlolprincessbt]

Brings back The O.C as soon as I hear it. <3

[LordbruMMelll]

bellissimo video, straordinariamente in sintonia con il tepore raccolto e prezioso del pezzo

[bombaymatt]

In some ways their best album!!!

[angelizer999]

@bombaymatt i agree,

[108tuber]

One of these songs you don't want to end. Nice vid too. Thanks for sharing.

[daviscnc]

Very beautiful. Made me cry.....

[inventarsi]

un anno fa :(

[Hildesful]

Its such a beautyful song....Its real poetry.

[MrNokha]

I haven't really listened to the newest album of the Smashing Pumpkins, I don't know if it can compare to the older music like this, but I should check it out. I really think that the four original pumpkins were so talented together it's a shame they broke up. To me it doesn't feel like the same group. But I'll check out the new music.

[Gamagachee]

@MrNokha Definitley give it a chance. If you're talking about Zeitgeist, United States and Starz are my favorites off the album. If your talking about Teargarden, check out the song freak.

[lifegraduate]

This song deserves our respect...

[iPuRplE100]

is there someone who could send me this song, please

[angelizer999]

@iPuRplE100 whats your mail? i'll send u the song :)

[iPuRplE100]

@angelizer999 ellevator@abv.bg

[qwer8907]

beautiful song

[7kurosawa7]

bellissimo video, complimenti buissonland

[Grave187RIP13]

I own Smashing Pumpkins complete discography and this has to be my absolute favorite piece they have made.

[habshockey1988]

@Grave187RIP13 where does Luna rank for you compared to this?????

[Grave187RIP13]

@habshockey1988

Hmm, gotta say probably a third or fourth, behind this, Thirty Three, and Mayonnaise. (Not trying to bash anyone's favorites or anything, you can't change taste, these are just my favorites.)

[habshockey1988]

@Grave187RIP13 mayonaise is amazing. i love their acoustic version of it!

[Grave187RIP13]

@habshockey1988 Have you heard the Outtake '93 version of it? It's amazing, if you haven't search for it on here, I uploaded it a while ago.

[TheLatin89]

I love it ;O)

[MachaMongRuad]

Beautiful like cool rain on a summer afternoon, a breeze through red and gold autumn leaves. Time slows and I get goosebumps every time I hear it.

[3964spdss]

love the overdubb at 3:32 through 4:04!

[Oridginale24]

Whats interesting is that this song was originally goona be the song during the love scene in "Cruel Intentions". But the producers of the movie changed their mind and changed the song to Colorblind by Counting Crows.

[thetheRedundant]

@Oridginale24 Yeah that's true, and it's a shame because it could have given the song and album more exposure.

[MultiSigrun]

@Oridginale24 your right i was just talking about it with a friend.

[Yesornoization]

Great opener to their best, imo, album.

[XXXMUXICISLIFEXXX]

i love this song and my name is SHEILA!!!!!

[karadcd]

@XXXMUXICISLIFEXXX ....and i wish u deserve every single word from that song....That days when the song came out i wanted to b in love with a girl name sheila.....

[Bulalaw]

2:28 - 2:56 just blows my mind. Wuha!

[aj14127]

@Bulalaw HAHA YOU SICK FUCK!! WHOOO AHHH WE GOTA CROOKED COP 

[TheGigsixstringAge]

...

[safiebine]

you re so right man...

[craigiev]

The most beautiful pop song ever recorded (that I am aware of.)

[saimon1969]

Superbe chanson, j'étais trop content qu'ils la jouent quand je les ai vus à Colmar il y a presque 3 ans !

Et superbe clip aussi, j'adore surtout les images de la route qui file à la fin de la chanson, je trouve ça... reposant :)

[tmprogram]

ah..1998

[TheWalker96]

no fuck you rocksycloud. billy corgan is a musical genius and the pumpkins broke up due to th rest of the bands feelings and shit. corgan led that band for manyyears. as a matter of fact over a decade. so please show some respect for him sheez

[ronzy74]

@TheWalker96 HERE HERE someone is actually speakin!!i have seen the pumpkins 5 times back in the 90s and have followed since!!!!am so glad that at least 1 person really knows!!

[GJHsatan]

@TheWalker96 The band had issues throughout their career. They almost split before the release of Siamese dreams due to conflicts within the band. Then during the Mellon Collie tour their keyboardist died of an overdose and Jimmy Chamberlin was kicked from the band. But throughout all that the band stuck together. Billy Corgang did a fucking awesome job. By far one of the best songwriters of our generation and a fucking good musician.

[Johnny1154]

I'm getting buried to this song. It just makes you realise how much you really do love the ones around you, thank you SP.

[DamnAdriane]

I love this song. The video's good. I'm not hugest fan of Euro countryside pics/video. Would have preferred film or tv clips to underwrite the songs meaning and execution. But hey!

[gremby]

BEST SONG EVER

[HeroINNMotel]

btw in this church in tours they once sold the longest candles i ever saw in my life ...

[gretalibbey]

This song just popped into my head this morning. Love it!

[BaneChaos]

So many meanings...deep, beautiful and quite profound. One of my favorites. I'm glad to see the diamond from more than just one point of view.

[Hildesful]

Such a beautyful song, I love It. Thanks for the video, It fits

[goodbitchable]

my name is Sheila..

[bicpenusa]

@goodbitchable cool

[macith]

lovely!! ^^

[pipitax2]

1 blank page

2 to sheila

3 from martha

4 crestfallen

5 behold the nightmare!

all time favorites

[alanc8000]

The thing that makes Corgan better than every other musician of the 90's is that he was never happy making the same album over and over again. Adore is not for the casual Pumpkins fan who only knows what they've heard on the radio. It is a terribly under rated work though. It's flawless, and it tells the story of one of Billy's more difficult periods of his life. In twenty years, maybe it'll get the recognition it deserves. This song is one of the tracks that makes it truely great.

[jfckandi]

You love billy don't you?

[GreetTheSacredCow]

Adore for life. Forever underrated. Rank 'em, guys!

1. Blank Page

2. To Sheila

3. For Martha

4. Tear

5. Daphne Descends

[Dhoney07]

the guitar used to write this song is up for sell on ebay

[cristaIIine]

all their songs are light e melancholic, you can close your eyes e let you mind fly away

[cristaIIine]

all their songs are light e melancholic, you can close your eyes e let you mind fly away

[newyearsday76]

boys,plz dont sleep,its the first song of ADORE..how can u miss these basic things..

[zerosoma33]

This should be the official video. Bravo. Just beautiful. France is pretty.

[i2ad10head]

this is my favorite off Machina

[SmashingPumpkid]

This song is on Gish right?

[npplscorpion]

It's from "Adore".

[Sean4876]

i love it, thanks!

[E7OO]

incredible

[amberkw1085]

i was watching season 1 of the o.c. and noticed this song in one of the episodes, im completely in love with it now.. im going to start looking more into smashing pumpkins. beautiful video btw.

[KevinKolb4]

the pumpkins have much better than this. anything from siamese dream and melancholy and the infinite sadness is awesome. if you like this type of song then i would check out: To Forgive, Mayonaise, spaceboy, disarm, and thirty-three. but any song from those two albums are great.

[KevinKolb4]

refering to @amberkw1085

[amberkw1085]

thnx i will look into those.

[MerseYattle]

gish isnt that bad compared to the stated two, theyre on the same level for me

[Renji34]

@MerseYattle of course definitly agreeing with you, gish, the most underrated album of music, if you listen to each song , every fan should worship this masterpiece

[NuReflexion]

dont forget luna and soma! very chill songs as well!

[Otakucris]

omg dude! sounds like u only listened two albums!

Adore and Machina are as well excellent albums!!

[KevinKolb4]

@Otakucris adore is good and machina is ok, but both albums are far from siamese dream and mellon cholly. also i would put gish third behind the two. and id rather listen to pisces iscariot before adore and machina.

[MerseYattle]

again adore is a good lp, to shiela, ava adore, the tale of dusty.., blank page, and even 17 is great for its short time.. havent got more good songs on other lps for me..i love more the pre gish times .. reel time studios etc..

[linuz011]

awesome job with the video! beautiful song :)

[DeesseHecate73]

To me for my babe...

[depechehero]

one of my favorite songs. so dreamy.

[sXeback1304]

very well done, great song too :)

[purdone]

Stunning and moving. Well done.

[s0ulever]

beautiful, beautiful. bravo. :)

[VanyleinxD]

wow, great job :)♥ great song :)

[davidlay95]

beautiful video great job.one the best pumpkins songs i love it

[CosmoCorleone]

I just loved it! I love the song since it came out years ago, and now I love this video!

[placibito]

cancion triste del aba adore pero me encanta como suena el sonido y toa la letra q tien its a superhit that never sounded on radio but its better cause its just for people who knows it

[descendium]

I think this is the best Fan-made Video that i have ever seen.

[ShasoDnarb]

Agreed.

[almostlover72]

Very nice!

I Love it actually

[krtransportes]

ADORO ESTA MUSICA!!!!!!

[spneverfail]

jessica simpson over d'arsy what an idiot

[IronCrue3]

It seems wrong, but we do not know her personally. Apparently she makes him happy, so let him be.

[globalmusicworkshop]

Awesome video! : )

[floppydisk35]

in today times the people who join the rockers group are those who are "outclassed" by other students. i hate this kind of thing in my school, secluding the outclassed kids with the rockers...

im quite a well-known kid in my year -- thing is, people stare at me when i tell them i listen to rock and smashing pumpkins.
