First heard this song in the car with my dad. This was his all time favorite song, and is now one of mine. He passed away almost 2 months ago just after my 17th birthday. I play this song every time I get in the car just like I know he would. Rest In Peace dad.
He loves you so much brother it’s up too you to follow in the footsteps he left and to make your own use his mistakes as learning lessons he made them so you don’t have to and pray to Jesus believe me when I tell you he was holding your hand and crying with you it’s hard world but god will never turn his back on you
Godspeed to your dad. You're so young. My mid 20s kids lost their dad a few months ago, he also loved SP. We went to see them live a few months after his death, it was special.
I believe that Billy Corgan didn't really intend for the song to be about anything. I remember him saying that he thought the lyrics were crap and were pretty much just a bunch of one liners stitched together. Still, they're beautiful. So is the song.
This song reminds me of all the years that feel wasted in the military while everyone on the outside keeps on living moving forward, your life stands still.
Difference was you moved forward on the inside, building a better you and getting it right... everyone on the outside focuses precisely there and do a horrible job of building anything in the rat race. Good on ya brother 🤙🏻
The grass isn’t always greener on the other side, though it looks it. We have to take pride in our choices. I understand it can be trying, but it’s like that for all of us. Thank you for your service.
Billy Corgan said that he used a cheap guitar on this and that whenever he stopped playing, it would make what he called a whistle sound. He decided to keep the sound in the song I'm glad he did.
man i love this song so much. i remember being at university and id dropped some bad acid and i put this on and it changed my trip and blew my mind, i was in tears man, i couldnt stop crying, but they were happy tears. i was so overwhelmed by the music that humans make
I'm a dyed in the wool metal head. I also play music and have since I was 5. I've always been struck by a great harmonic. My best friend since childhood, when this came out, said "listen to this, you'll love it!". He was right. I loved it. Unfortunately he took his life not even a month after we had this discussion, which was in August of that year. I've heard this song 5 times last month. I cried every time. Much like I am now. Suicide fucking sucks.
@skinny from the south it's all good man. Every day makes things easier. It helps to have some friends from our circle around. Went to a metal show last weekend with one, and we both felt like we were 20 again. We both needed that. For sure.
Just found out I have to move and go to a different school for the 5th time in the past 5 years. Sometimes I just want things to get better, so I come here to listen to my comfort song.
Having moved a bunch and changed schools will serve you well when you're older and can easily make new friends and others enjoy your presence... because you've been exposed to more people and had to make efforts to make friends, as opposed to those who stay in the same town forever. Strong roots are great, and moving is hard, but your character won't suffer.
This song will always remind me of either waking up in the morning to get ready for high school, or coming home in the afternoon to get back to my AIM chat and then put this song on while I’m stoned 😊 this song is like a warm blanket around my soul.
this just might be my favorite song of all time? absolutely, stunningly, gorgeous in every way, shape, and form. listen with good headphones and turn it the F up.
the first time i ever heard this song was late at night, in my drive through while smoking off a bong with a special friend i no longer have in my life.. everything in that moment was so perfect i miss him i often wonder if he listens to this and misses me ꨄ
I know the feeling, I first heard this song when I hung out with a small group of friends that I felt soo comfortable around. I'll never forget cruising around, listening to Smashing Pumpkins, and specially when all of us slept in a mall together a couple times because we worked there lol Fun times. I was broke as hell, but money didn't matter, only our friendship. I too wonder if they ever look back and miss what we once had.
My first hearing this song is right now in the living room of my apartment with my mom at 11:14pm while listening to the crickets chirping outside the window after a long day at work. Found out about it through a random smashing pumpkins short explaining how they got that random Guitar sound throughout the song.
i remember being stoned for the first time in school. i must have drained an entire bottle of visine in my eyeballs. played this in my headphones during lunch. at some point i realized i had left school and was walking on the highway. that was when i first realized you could be fucked up and almost die. wasnt the last. its a dream to be alive at that age. you dont realize how beautiful you are-you just think of your acne and your clumsiness and the sheer inexperience of your life. but i think of my friends who didnt make it. i will forever miss all my friends who i moved away from who took their lives. i wish i could have been there for that one moment you think you can help that person. but i dont think it works like that. this song is beautiful to me, it shimmers so loud. it also puts me exactly at the place of empathy- i never thought this song sang my life but i knew it sang it for someone who was really struggling. i dont know why but thats how it felt in the 90s. like i was so angry and sad but also ambitious to be alive. i knew some of my friends who were bullied and ignored and beat up for being gay or punk or just for being weird-i knew they werent gonna make it. we related on the first two things but not the third. i refuse to count how many people ive lost to suicide. but its a lot. i dont curse them. i think about them and i miss them and i love them and i play music for them. i make paintings for some of them. its constantly on my mind. the things i thought i left in high school continue and we all know people who have killed themselves. what else can we do but remember. theyre gone but youve got to keep a memory to move forward. the irony of life is that it is sometimes horrible and full of disappointment and horror. life can be boring and we all wait in stupid lines and deal with stupid people. but it is also full of wonder and friendship and unbelievable beauty and music and sunshine and romance and love and amazing ridiculous luck. it will all fade, but i believe its worth it to see it and feel it and even the loss is worth it. even the dying light is worth it. and you sometimes remember the laughter hours & days & years later. its worth it for that in the end.
Im glad I watched the short of Billy describing how his cheap guitar made the whistle sound in the breaks of this jam. If I hadn't seen it I never would have looked this song up. Badass tune.
I've been an enormous Smashing Pumpkins fan for over 20 years, but for some weird reason I didn't really start loving the song Mayonaise until recently. It makes no sense to me either. Maybe the lyrics mean more to me now that I'm in my 30s & have gone through so much more problems & pain than in my teens? Regardless, Mayonaise isn't just one of my favorite Pumpkins songs, it's one of my favorite songs in general (although there are quite a few Pumpkins songs in my top 100 list). You can tell by listening to this and many of their other songs that Corgan and company have gone through some real shit & felt true pain, as opposed to some of the crap that's come out more recently where the worst things that happen are some asshole's gf leaves him for another dude or some other artist's parents are just horrible people for buying them a Toyota instead of a BMW. Sorry, but I'd rather listen to music where both the lyrics & the melodies speak to my mind and soul as opposed to making me feel like I just lost 20 IQ points whenever I'm forced to hear it. I wish I didn't feel forced to listen to music that came out when I was in middle or high school just to feel like my brain isn't dying from the stupidity of more recent music. Oh, and totally off subject from the song and band, but the Han Solo 'solo' graphic was absolutely awesome. I've never seen anything cooler on a lyrics video to mark the location of the solo before & I don't think I ever will. I enjoyed this video a lot but having Han Solo ther gave it an extra 5 stars.
That is very well put. I feel the same about this song. I think it might be looking back in hindsight it works. Almost like puzzle piece was missing and it was just experience in life. Good comment.
They had such a mix of hard and soft. I’m just coming back to their older stuff after being in love with them since jr high in the 90s and being like “wow”. Truly one of the greatest of the era.
I first heard this song when I went to day camp. I thought it was decent. Then I became and adult, and I went through chronic unemployment because of my disability. That's when this song got me in the feels. Every lyric is an affirmation. This track is the story of my life and the best song on Siamese Dream.
Thank you BEEF for unlocking a core memory. As soon as I heard the first riff,I knew.. and it brought back all the angst and heartbreaking but thrilling teenage years. Thanks for introducing new generations to gems like this!!
I think this is my favorite song. I had this CD as a teenager and cannot remember hearing it. I heard it first at a moment in my life I'll never forget, just a few years ago. Thanks for the awesome video, I about died at the "Solo" that was actually so perfect, big Star Wars fan here ♥💚
Kimberly ...you so rite ...this song makes me cry in self defeat...and yet it makes me realize my triumphs and my gifts ...let alone my self worth that dont ever seem to be as easy as they should to be to acknowledge....
15 years old in this life but for sure an old soul. ❤ You have instinct & discernment many people today of all ages lack. Always trust your gut instincts & you'll do well in life! 🤗💕
I heard this song right before my best friend died. I will always think and remember him, it doesn't make me sad. It celebrates his life and all the good times we had from kids until that day.
I love everything about this song! The lyrics, melody, the harmonics, and feedback from the guitar, the drums, it's a masterpiece of music, as well as many SP songs are! And there were so many other great songs on Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness besides 1979, it's too bad that's all that most people know of that album.
They played this song at my step moms funeral and it hits so different now. I miss her. But I love listening to this because it brings up feelings I should’ve felt.
If the stars align and the Gods are with is there’s a plan to re unite the members of two of my past bands from 20 years ago and record this in December with a proper genius and close friend at the controls.. if it happens I think I’ll probably have a hard time choking back the emotions but man it will be one of the best weekend I could possible wish for.. God bless you Billy, James, Darcy and Jimmy.. you have truly been the soundtrack to my life to date. 😘
“Fool enough to almost be it cool enough to not quite see it doomed pick your pocket full of sorrow and run away with me tomorrow June We’ll try and ease the pain but somehow we’ll feel the same well, no one knows where our secrets go I send a heart to all my dearies when your life is so, so dreary dream I’m rumored to the straight and narrow while the harlots of my perils scream And I fail but when I can, I will try to understand that when I can, I will Mother weep the years I’m missing all our time can’t be given back shut my mouth and strike the demons cursed you and your reasons out of hand and out of season out of love and out of feeling so bad But when I can, I will words defy the plans but when I can, I will Fool enough to almost be it and cool enough to not quite see it and old enough to always feel it always old, I’ll always feel this No more promise, no more sorrow no longer will I follow can anybody hear me I just want to be me When I can, I will try to understand that when I can, I will”.
This song means something to me in my head the memories it holds for the person I see everyday an wish knew exactly the love I feel for her. Godspeed brothers an sisters
This song is a masterpiece and is absolutely timeless. Crazy how some music can be a sort of Instantaneous Time Machine and take you back to certain time in your past. They simply do not write music like this anymore……
I feel the same way. This album came out when I was 16 and I blasted it all year in my first car. Magical times especially for rock and alternative music.
Was in the backseat of the car feeling down because i felt like i had messed up, so i had my earbuds and played this song and it just made me rethink about myself and some of my flaws and it got me emotional. My brother was in the backseat with me, and my parents were in the front, and i was just crying. They didn't notice tho, and im glad it stayed that way.
Glad I found a version without the comments turned off. And the whole comment section absolutely passes the vibe check 💯 I'm just over here wondering why the other vids had the comments disabled? 🤔🤷♂️
Back when I got this cassette from Columbia records behind my mom's back( along with like 30 others)I think I was in like 6th grade, I remember listening to this song and it would just have me in tears. I'm now 41. And I'm holding back as I listen.😑
In the mid 90s I joined the US Navy and went to submarines. My first few patrols were hell, missing home, my girl, friends and family, learning to be on my own and be a man. I would lay in my rack and just crank Pumpkins on my CD player (yes I'm old) and drown it all out, kept me sane.. Rock on..
[Verse 1] Fool enough to almost be it Cool enough to not quite see it Doomed Pick your pocket, full of sorrow And run away with me tomorrow June [Bridge 1] We'll try and ease the pain But somehow, we'll feel the same Well, no one knows Where our secrets go [Verse 2] I send a heart to all my dearies When your life is so, so dreary Dream I'm rumored to the straight and narrow While the harlots of my perils Scream [Chorus 1] And I fail But when I can, I will Try to understand That when I can, I will [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Mother, weep the years I'm missing All our time can't be given Back Shut my mouth and strike the demons That cursed you and your reasons Out of hand and out of season Out of love and out of feeling [Chorus 2] So bad When I can, I will Words defy the plans When I can, I will [Bridge 2] Fool enough to almost be it And cool enough to not quite see it Dull enough to always feel this Always old, I'll always feel this No more promise, no more sorrow No longer will I follow Can anybody hear me? I just want to be me [Chorus 3] And when I can, I will Try to understand That when I can, I will
I miss my brother Josh Craig Grey he was my best friend he loves smashing pumpkins I listen to them to feel close to him again r. I. P brother he sounded just like Billy corgen!
Seen the pumpkins in new orleans in late 90s.. Billy wails , listened to SP's liked em' but not nearly as much as after i seen them live. It was AMAZING..
2:00 or shortly after. The noise was from him stopping playing. It only made that noise because of how cheap it was. Learned that in an interview I watched with them
First heard this song in the car with my dad. This was his all time favorite song, and is now one of mine. He passed away almost 2 months ago just after my 17th birthday. I play this song every time I get in the car just like I know he would. Rest In Peace dad.
He loves you so much brother it’s up too you to follow in the footsteps he left and to make your own use his mistakes as learning lessons he made them so you don’t have to and pray to Jesus believe me when I tell you he was holding your hand and crying with you it’s hard world but god will never turn his back on you
That is a beautiful story!
Music heals what we can not.
Godspeed to your dad. You're so young. My mid 20s kids lost their dad a few months ago, he also loved SP. We went to see them live a few months after his death, it was special.
Rest in Peace to your Father ❤
Sorry to hear that my dad is my best friend don’t know what I would do without him ❤️
48 years old and I'm still screaming " can anybody help me? I just want to be me".

A little younger and doing the same. It's still my favourite song of all time.

A typical teenage life perfectly described. In hindsight a painful but beautiful era in life. This song makes me melancholically reminiscent that time
Well said, some things encapsulate such ideas and times perfectly. Really boils down to frequency
Teenage?
Beautifully put
I think your version of the song is slightly misimformed.really listen to it and feel it.if youve never been an addict you pry wont ever get it.
I believe that Billy Corgan didn't really intend for the song to be about anything. I remember him saying that he thought the lyrics were crap and were pretty much just a bunch of one liners stitched together. Still, they're beautiful. So is the song.
I can listen to this song a million times and still get goosebumps.

I feel you brother. I’ve hit 4 years today, and this song hits like a truck

I served also. And it sucked alot but we did stuff people on the outside never did. No matter how much it haunts us.
The intro, the verse, the solo, the coda, the lyrics. Perfect.
The intro is best part of this average song that is basically just noise.
Without fail
I loved this song so much as a teenager, now im 38 and still love this song. Timeless.
Same!
Hello ancient people
I used to love this song when I was 36 and now I’m 17. Smashing Pumpkins are forever classic ❤
I'm 36...never forget this classic

Right
Such a emotionally driven & powerful song!🔥🔥🎸🎸🖤
The most sublime and perfect song SP ever created
I never heard this song in my life. I only came here cuz I saw a short of Billy Corgan talking about the “iconic guitar whistle” in the song
The exact reason I’m here, I Like when songs are altered on accident
I heard this song right before my best friend died. I will always think and remember him, it doesn't make me sad. It celebrates his life and all the good times we had from kids until that day.
That's so sad... I have no words

If the stars align and the Gods are with is there’s a plan to re unite the members of two of my past bands from 20 years ago and record this in December with a proper genius and close friend at the controls.. if it happens I think I’ll probably have a hard time choking back the emotions but man it will be one of the best weekend I could possible wish for..
God bless you Billy, James, Darcy and Jimmy.. you have truly been the soundtrack to my life to date.
😘
I had an amazing stereo system back in the 90s. Literally shook the entire apartment building I lived in. It loved this album.
What a song! Makes you feel everything 🥲
Just perfect *-* thanks a lot for this
+Maxdark LordGothic No problem :)
“Fool enough to almost be it
cool enough to not quite see it
doomed
pick your pocket full of sorrow
and run away with me tomorrow
June
We’ll try and ease the pain
but somehow
we’ll feel the same
well, no one knows
where our secrets go
I send a heart to all my dearies
when your life is so, so dreary
dream
I’m rumored to the straight and narrow
while the harlots of my perils
scream
And I fail
but when I can, I will
try to understand
that when I can, I will
Mother weep the years I’m missing
all our time can’t be given
back
shut my mouth and strike the demons
cursed you and your reasons
out of hand and out of season
out of love and out of feeling
so bad
But when I can, I will
words defy the plans
but when I can, I will
Fool enough to almost be it
and cool enough to not quite see it
and old enough to always feel it
always old, I’ll always feel this
No more promise, no more sorrow
no longer will I follow
can anybody hear me
I just want to be me
When I can, I will
try to understand
that when I can, I will”.
After so many years I still feel the same about this song and so many others. Much love!!
My all time favorite pumpkins song
This song moved me to tears; first thing in the morning!
This song means something to me in my head the memories it holds for the person I see everyday an wish knew exactly the love I feel for her. Godspeed brothers an sisters
A lot on my mind but allowing this song to rock me to sleep 💙
If my life were a movie, this would be the credits song.
Same
This song is a masterpiece and is absolutely timeless. Crazy how some music can be a sort of Instantaneous Time Machine and take you back to certain time in your past. They simply do not write music like this anymore……
I've dreamed my life away.
Man... if that does not perfectly describe my life.
Me too..almost.
@@deannateems2660 as we all do .
Still brings a tear to my eye. So many memories...
This is a masterpiece. ❤️
This is the cadence of my teenage years and the first CD I ever bought sophomore year. How fast it goes, very bittersweet.
I feel the same way. This album came out when I was 16 and I blasted it all year in my first car. Magical times especially for rock and alternative music.
@@seminole17910 in retrospect, definitely the best. Cheers.
Me too I was14 when this came out
Was in the backseat of the car feeling down because i felt like i had messed up, so i had my earbuds and played this song and it just made me rethink about myself and some of my flaws and it got me emotional. My brother was in the backseat with me, and my parents were in the front, and i was just crying. They didn't notice tho, and im glad it stayed that way.
The Han Solo part cracked me up. Thank you, because I came here to be miserable. I appreciate the smile.
Yeah, 😅! That's familiar; sounds like myself.
Glad I found a version without the comments turned off. And the whole comment section absolutely passes the vibe check 💯
I'm just over here wondering why the other vids had the comments disabled? 🤔🤷♂️
Beautiful! So young, so wise, unbelievable brilliance! ✨
This song just hits deep and always will
I was sobbing, lost in the dripping reverie of nostalgia, and then the "guitar Solo" graphic popped up and I stopped crying and started laughing.
Back when I got this cassette from Columbia records behind my mom's back( along with like 30 others)I think I was in like 6th grade, I remember listening to this song and it would just have me in tears. I'm now 41. And I'm holding back as I listen.😑
Sp was my fave growing up this takes me back but BEEF brought me here now 45 and still fool enough to almost be it
best fucking song i have ever heard
One of my all time favorites ❤
One of the best Albums to come out of the 90's ,was 19 in the summer when it came out .
Here to hear the whistle
thanks to BEEF, I'm here : >
Who knew these kids could get out music and meaning like this?
Man, so many things I'd do over if I could. Song tears my heart out
Beef brought me here. Anyone else? Type Beef soundtrack in here they got everything. It really brings us 36, 37, and 38 somethings back huh..❤
Same. I saw today
Thank you Beef
In the mid 90s I joined the US Navy and went to submarines. My first few patrols were hell, missing home, my girl, friends and family, learning to be on my own and be a man. I would lay in my rack and just crank Pumpkins on my CD player (yes I'm old) and drown it all out, kept me sane.. Rock on..
[Verse 1]
Fool enough to almost be it
Cool enough to not quite see it
Doomed
Pick your pocket, full of sorrow
And run away with me tomorrow
June
[Bridge 1]
We'll try and ease the pain
But somehow, we'll feel the same
Well, no one knows
Where our secrets go
[Verse 2]
I send a heart to all my dearies
When your life is so, so dreary
Dream
I'm rumored to the straight and narrow
While the harlots of my perils
Scream
[Chorus 1]
And I fail
But when I can, I will
Try to understand
That when I can, I will
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Mother, weep the years I'm missing
All our time can't be given
Back
Shut my mouth and strike the demons
That cursed you and your reasons
Out of hand and out of season
Out of love and out of feeling
[Chorus 2]
So bad
When I can, I will
Words defy the plans
When I can, I will
[Bridge 2]
Fool enough to almost be it
And cool enough to not quite see it
Dull enough to always feel this
Always old, I'll always feel this
No more promise, no more sorrow
No longer will I follow
Can anybody hear me?
I just want to be me
[Chorus 3]
And when I can, I will
Try to understand
That when I can, I will
Tyvm
Thanks... Probably my favorite SP song...They were awesome closing Lollapalooza in '94.
Got to know these song from last episode of “BEEF”. Such a good song
I was looking for this comment.
I thought the song was used in Reservation Dogs but I was wrong
I miss my brother Josh Craig Grey he was my best friend he loves smashing pumpkins I listen to them to feel close to him again r. I. P brother he sounded just like Billy corgen!
Seen the pumpkins in new orleans in late 90s.. Billy wails , listened to SP's liked em' but not nearly as much as after i seen them live. It was AMAZING..
It hits home as always thank you
I enjoyed starting my day today with mayonnaise
Me too !!!!
Simply put.. a classic
I love that the whistle on the guitar was because of how cheap it was. Makes me love this song even more
Where?
2:00 or shortly after. The noise was from him stopping playing. It only made that noise because of how cheap it was. Learned that in an interview I watched with them
By far their best song
Here after the last episode of beef
James iha contributed to the band more than just fashion.
He is the most famous person from Elk Grove Village IL
Thanks for posting this.
love this song forever!
Legit looked up this video to listen to this song again.... and to hear the "whistle" they wrote in pauses to honor. 😅 ❤
beautiful lyrics!!
yes!!!!!
“ I just want to be me… When I can .. I will “
That’s like an entire self-help book in one line..
😏🙏🏻
Indeed
I love this song of mixed emotions.
The best song on Siamese Dream
Never would I have thunk that this song would mean more to me at 40, than in my teen years.
So we all got the same short, and we all clicked away from the video with comments turned off. Thats amazing 😂
If ur talking about the one where he says the guitar whistles, when does it whistle
He can hear you is that a thing. He's with you every second. Till he sees you again. Glad music moves us.
My first concert, passed out , cow palace , returned to the moss Pitt , too much good weed and beer . Probably 1996
