if nothing else, it sounds like he cares again, which is enough for me. corgan circa 2002 - 2009 or so was a pretty dour figure. sad too, because i love this band more than a person really should like a band.
He sings of longing (amongst the speed bumps) Perhaps this longing is that of separating the Spirit (Pure Light) from the Physical (body). His message Resonates within the bands Sound and Words (Energy)
just a dick in time. song kinda sorta sucksssssss. like let me explain this. it sounds like something u would hear on blues clues or something. therefore its gay. other stuff off tea garden has been awesome but this.. basically is the equivalent of sticking your dick in a horses ass.. so take that how u want too.. o and widow wake my cock blows one too.. but other then that billy is back.
@yankeesarethebest224 hmmm im suprised by your comment, you seem to know what your talking about i bet you im way younger than you and im not that immature for language. anyways this is brilliant
sounds like a ameture high school band and this famous singer trying to vocalize with a harmony that is majorly just not soundig right and is sorely lacking like a man trying to catch is breath right after being kicked in the nuts with a chain saw but cant quite find the words to explain how it feels.
this is not pumpkins. I hate to say it, being a pumpkins fan since i was like 7 yrs old but, Billy has lost it. I can't sit around and listen to these songs and pretend they are the pumpkins no matter how hard I try. So i think my album collection ends at Zeitgeist. It's so sad.
@iloveheartyloaf You like Zeitgeist but not this? Your logic baffles me. This song is amazing. What's not to like about it if you're a Pumpkins fan? Awesome guitar, beautiful lyrics, cool keys and strings. AND, THERE IS A FUCKING SITAR! lol
@Brown86Town No i did not like Zeitgeist but i bought it thinking it was going to be good. The only good albums they had was SD, P.I, Gish Mellon Collie, and some and like to songs off of machina. This is not the pumpkins. I don't care that your living in a fantasy world trying to make excuses how this IS the pumpkins but i am straightforward. I cant even relax to this. I can relax to obscured but not this.
@almightyseancore Hahahaha, yeah. Mystery solved. Everone was wondering if there was even anything in there : P "This is our sitar............ damn. Fuck it."
its a great song, but sometimes i play along with it on drums and think it would sound just a little bit better with a beat, dont get me wrong i love it this way aswel :) wwmm grew on me alot aswel
The only thing that I can't figure out is how Billy Corgan, being the great musician he is, didn't hear the brilliance in the violin that was used for the live Spirits in the Sky rendition of this? If he had gone that route, it would have made an already great song into a mini-masterpiece!
@almightyseancore the beatles were simplistic garbage.. anyone could write a song in 4/4, where the lyrics just repeat themselves. they lack musical talent.
and who can tell what is the pumpkins sound? all their albums have different sound.. from Gish - Siamese Dream 90s rock, to Adore-Machina.. So far "Widow Wake My Mind" is my least favourite track from "Teargarden", but 'A Stitch in Time' and 'A Song for a Son' are the ones, that I liked from the first time.
@lemonscure but mostly they had the same members throughout their album which created a totally natural hard to find sound and everyone worked well together as one and it was awesome.
@lemonscure: For me the Pumpkin's sound is the 90's rock Gish and Siamese Dream. Siamese Dream in particular, there wasn't one bad song on that album. It was amazing. Absolutely mindblowing, from the riffs to the chorus to the insanely awesome solos. This isn't bad but it's far from Siamese Dream's awesomeness.
@dandanthepumpkinman That was back when Corgan and friends were pissed off teenagers singing about the life of a pissed off teenager. If Corgan tried to copy that sound now, when he's grown into a man, would sound worse than this.
Not to bad!I didn't expect all that much from TearGarden, but I have to say I'm impressed. To those that say it doesn't sound like the old Pumpkins, of course it doesn't, how can you expect a band to play the same for 20 years? it doesnt happen.
Another ok song, not great, I don't like the single song releases. I want to hear the album as a whole. I think the problem is the vocals are too up front. Old pumpkins has the vocals more recessed which suits the songs better for some reason.
Hmmm I know what you mean.. but I feel it's more that the vocals on these last few songs have just been less doctored than in the past. There's little or no reverb,echo, or subtle vocal effects of any kind. I hope Billy decides to embelish the vocals more for certain upcomming songs on this album. For certain songs I do like something about the more stripped down sound though.
if it's a dream don't wake me up...!
their songs make me feel something... magic

Billy always has changed sounds with his albums,,,,,,
And I also agree that "Widow" is my least fav. but critics like it because of the uptempo pop sound...
"Song for a son" is epic to me and "A stich in time is awesome and the best one yet.........cant wait for Astral Planes!!
