It's such a simple song...just basic chord turnarounds throughout. But every chord is PERFECT and interesting and serves the song and lyrics. It's an uplifting life-affirming yet bittersweet song. Yeah...it's perfect. One of those rare songs I'd kill to have written myself...
Of all the tremendous tracks they've recorded, this one just does something to me. I can't and I won't try to explain it. It just does - and that's not a bad thing.

Hearing this song takes me back to my days as a broke college freshman driving to school in a old car with no a/c. I’ve come a long way since then, but part of me wishes I could hit the reset button and experience it all over again.
Wow they crushed this. I was still a big Ozzy fan in those days, but I did catch this SP concert or one like it on PBS back in the day and recall being very impressed at the time. Just now exploring their music more thoroughly in these dark days since my divorce, I find that I feed off of the energy and have a lot of motivation to push forward. Makes me feel confident that I'll bounce back stronger than ever.

Great performance. This was pretty much at their peak. Great band, great albums, great music. Love listening to them to this day. Of all their songs, it's interesting how *Bullet With Butterfly Wings* gets so much circulation on terrestrial radio.
BWBW is still one of the great all time radio rock jams, plain and simple. it's just a stunning and brutally effective hard rock song. That said, Muzzle and this other side of SP is what makes them such a timeless and unique band. Two extremes on the same disc!
I love them since I was 12 years old with Rocket, one night and one night I felt asleep with the earphones on, on repeat album mode and I woke up with this song, it is my favourite band ever.
James playing that solo was solid. that Les Paul He's playing here is really sweet. never seen him play one like that before. it doesn't seem to be his standard black Les Paul.
Iha is one of the reasons I picked up a guitar, I love this song, it defines my high school days and the greatest generation of all time, X. What a great time it was to be a young man in high school, in love with life and youth. Melancholy and the Infinite Boners.
1:37 haha....love how Billy kinda flubs that high note and laughs it off. He put so much energy into the vocals here that it was bound to happen lol...
For a rocker, Billy has always enunciated his words well. He rarely mumbled unlike other singers. As a result, misheard lyrics seem pretty rare for SP songs. And for that, I’m thankful.
I'm pretty sure if jimmy wants to be reassured he's a bad ass drummer he just has to look through any pumpkins video comments. All the comments are always about how fucking stellar he is. And I agree 1000000%
Thanks Billy,for bringing me away from that Cliff,that razors edge,that feeling of letting go desperation that I couldn't push on, the tracks on tin foil for giving me a reason to go on,one Love 💕💕💕💕

Great song actualy...
Lyrically its gorgeous. Agree 100%
Jimmy Chamberlain, what a drummer!!
underrated
Definitly i watched him live in 96 he was fucking awesome no drummer from the 90s is anywhere near him
cactus sac he is still amazing
agreed!
He has some cool jazz projects!!
Jimmy is such a fvckin monster drummer
This is a monster f*cking song!
Ive always thought that this was one of their very best songs.
It is. It made me cry.
@@euminkong cause u're gay
I agree !
It is, describes hf autism perfectly!
I dont think it. I know IT
Simply the greatest band of my childhood
❤me too..i regret not seeing them in 90s
when billy hears those drums coming in from Jimmy it gives him massive confidence😀
Wayne Evans ❤️❤️🤘🤘
Jimmy is the man!!!
I think any front man would
Having a great drummer in your band is everything. It's like riding a bike with wind from the back
Of all the tremendous tracks they've recorded, this one just does something to me. I can't and I won't try to explain it. It just does - and that's not a bad thing.
Ditto agreed and amen...
i think it is a bad thing, you are the devil,
same

I’m with you it is very emotional and powerful
I’d give just about anything to see Billy, James, D’arcy, and Jimmy play on stage together again...
No darcy. 75percent aint bad
All things must surely have to end
Great loves must surely have to past
Just need Darcy
@@euminkong I saw them back in 2019 they still rocking man.
At the front row
I love watching Jimmy Chamberlin play.He's so fluid,no wasted motion,just awesome!
Hearing this song takes me back to my days as a broke college freshman driving to school in a old car with no a/c. I’ve come a long way since then, but part of me wishes I could hit the reset button and experience it all over again.
Same!
you obviously dont live in florida
This made me bawl my eyes out. So many memories.
I know.
man these lyrics sum it all up, it's everything.
totally
It's McCartney level. ❤
Always my favorite pumpkins song
Me too !
"And I knew the secrets in your spires." That line speaks volumes to me and reminds of someone I really cared about.
What's it mean to you? Religious architecture? Just curious, I'm a big fan. ❤
This song causes me to swell up in tears for some reason.... both happy and sad. It just speaks to me
Such a pice of art. So underrated. I can feel the tune of the audience jumping.

Are we living the same life? Sending love to u friend

NASA BULLSHIT
thanks pop up video!
Billy knows that already
Betcha don’t know the secrets in my spires.
This song is triumphant and heartbreaking at the same time. Anguish and hope and rage and love and life and death. Such a human anthem. So brilliant.
Perhaps the greatest Pumpkins song of all; simply electric and very emotional ; SP for RRHOF !!!!
One of their best songs! 2:40 is euphoric.
Isn't it? Aching and beautiful pain. 😍
Such a great song. So many good ones on Mellon collie
i'm rather both pleased and surprised that James handles all the solos on this song! awesome!!
HuysMusic Iha is severely underrated. He’s really an incredible guitarist, too often overshadowed by the also great Corgan.
Thru the eyes of ruby live at the Brixton academy in 1995 shows you what Iha can do!
Bad Ass . ☝️🌹
Just sick cool lyrics on top of a sick riff...very real..welcome to the big leagues kids!!
Mate, this is amazing. When I was a teenager a friend asked me which famous rock start I'd marry. The answer came immediately, "Darcy Wretzky".
It's such a simple song...just basic chord turnarounds throughout.

He tunes his B string down to A in this song, so it gives the chords a unique sound.
@jaimeflor4181 that's interesting!
been a fan since i was 13 (36 now) and never had seen a live performance of theirs…. man i lost so much. they’re fucking awesome live too.
62 and still listening to them.
I had tickets to the Madison square garden show that was cancelled because Jonathan Melvoin died. Never did get to see them 😢
We saw them at a small venue right as they were exploding. Top 3 concerts we ever saw
Absolute chills. Wow
love this song one of the best SP songs ever
still one of my favorite songs by them
Always will be for me.
So healing...
What a performance! They had this slacker type of reserved presence but a sound that was like a massive wall!
Darcys harmonies really do round out Billy's voice. A shame she isn't there anymore.
Just look at that. That is what a show looked like when everyone was focused on the band and music. Not a one looking at their screen. 0:22
by far my favorite pumpkins track. this and 'eye'. both tracks don't get nearly enough love.
One of my very best favorites. Awsome performance!
Great performance. This was pretty much at their peak. Great band, great albums, great music. Love listening to them to this day. Of all their songs, it's interesting how *Bullet With Butterfly Wings* gets so much circulation on terrestrial radio.
Maybe because bullet was played live on the mtv music awards all those years ago
Because it was a single
BWBW is still one of the great all time radio rock jams, plain and simple. it's just a stunning and brutally effective hard rock song. That said, Muzzle and this other side of SP is what makes them such a timeless and unique band. Two extremes on the same disc!
Great song by a truly great band! An amazing performance!
'cause all things must surely have to end.. 😦
Jimmy's tom fills during the chorus are everything to me
I love them since I was 12 years old with Rocket, one night and one night I felt asleep with the earphones on, on repeat album mode and I woke up with this song, it is my favourite band ever.
Epitaph for a life well lived.....reflections of time passed !!
Jimmy Chamberlain
Jimmy Chamberlain
Jimmy Chamberlain. ❤
Best song by them
The first five SP albums are out of this world, this guy is one of the best rock songwriters ever.
James playing that solo was solid. that Les Paul He's playing here is really sweet. never seen him play one like that before. it doesn't seem to be his standard black Les Paul.
Still in love with D'Arcy...
no movil no camaras, pure music pure dance!
I love love love Billy"s voice

He put so much energy into the vocals here that it was bound to happen lol...
The lyrics...perfection.
I'm born i ' 76 and this song speaks to me. Soma soothes me.
My all time fav song in the world!!!!
For a rocker, Billy has always enunciated his words well. He rarely mumbled unlike other singers. As a result, misheard lyrics seem pretty rare for SP songs. And for that, I’m thankful.
Exactly....But on the contrary Pearl Jams front man Eddy Vedder mumbled alot of his words....jeez.... No disrespects to PJ though, just my thoughts.
Yes and I totally love his voice.
True, but his whispery sometimes shoegaze singing style makes it difficult for people to hear what he’s singing clearly.
ONE OF MY FAVORITES ...THE BEST SMASHING ERA RIGHT HERE
This is my absolute favorite song by them. The drums are completely ridiculous.
This is one epic performance of a fantastic song!!! That bald guy is just the best!!!!!!!!!!
I won’t even justify that bald guy comment with a response .... oh wait....
Almost perfect! One of my favorite songs by SP.
A masterpiece❤
Nobody is talking about 0:57
I hear that fill play in my mind at least once a day
What a fuckin track ❤
2020 and forever
I keep coming back to this song. I wasn't a huge SP fan back in the day, but this song might make a convert out of me...
I think it may be my top song by these guys. Just love it.
🌹
Such a great live perfomance :)
Love it!
great song, amazing performance.
beautiful song from a legend band
A perfect song,thank you Billy
The youth in this video took me back for a moment. Really good days. Had to live them to understand.
I want Jimmy back...
got your wish!
So much rocking
OMFG I’m in tears- such fury, such heart ♥️
You may be nuts now, Billy, but this saved my life in the 90s and it just did again.
That is fucking ART
He keeps saving me too
HIMNO de mi adolescencia
Jimmy so effortless awesome
LOVE THIS SONG !
Amazing! always my favorite
I'm so glad they're back! Can't wait to see them in August!
Big Man keep it up Billy,one Love
I saw them on this tour and it was amazing.
Masterpiece!
Simply brilliant man!...
Brutal, an excellent rock performance
THE YOUTH NEEDS A SONG LIKE THIS 🙏
Omg❤ loooooove D'Arcy. Hope shes doing well
one of their best songs
Declaring something underrated has been grossly overstated
We can't all be poets.
Or songwriters .I'm neither .
I'm pretty sure if jimmy wants to be reassured he's a bad ass drummer he just has to look through any pumpkins video comments. All the comments are always about how fucking stellar he is. And I agree 1000000%
Definitely one of my favs ♥️
Great fucking song. Great performance. Real rock!!
Love this song. SM still rocks it.
I miss that youth...
And I knew the echo that is love
That pretty much sums up the 1990's for me...
Thanks Billy,for bringing me away from that Cliff,that razors edge,that feeling of letting go desperation that I couldn't push on, the tracks on tin foil for giving me a reason to go on,one Love 💕💕💕💕
My favorite pumpkins song those drums 😍
awesome song, has it all
GREATEST PUMPKINS SONG EVER WRTTTEN !!!
