    When this album came out, I was an 11yr old girl in Australia. My parents had just split and I hadn't seen my dad since and mum was too high to give a shit. This album got me through my entire teen years when Eminem was king amongst my friends. Id listen to it every night on repeat. Im 35 now and I'm still discovering meanings in lyrics and the sound still gives me goosebumps. This song and the entire Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness is part of my soul forever. Thank you for everything ❤

      The new CYR album is interesting. I thought it had 4 or 5 solid songs. Not the best in their library, but definitely solid songs that deserve more views. It's mostly synth driven though so if you aren't into the whole synth thing than you'll probably hate it.

      I wouldn’t say his voice is unique. In fact, I think that is a weak point even if he manages it in a superb way.
      He is a genius guitarist and composer.

    Back in the middle of the 90s, I was forced to stay in bed, four endless months, due to a car accident. I asked my elder brother to buy me Mellon Collie, and I spent all these days, lying in bed, listening to it again and again. When I finally got better, I went to the local record store and I purchased a copy of Siamese Dream. First time I listened to Disarm I cried, don't know why it happened, I didn't know anything about Billy's family troubles. It just happened. Even nowadays sometimes I found myself crying, while listening to it. It gives me goosebumps, masterpiece!

    As soon as my little girl was born and they laid her on my chest I looked into her eyes with tears of joy and love and that night after recovering from giving birth I cried because I then realized what love was. How could both my parents not have this type of love for me like I did and do for my daughter. This song is hits home.

    Pitchfork wrote a review calling Billy Corgan completely irrelevant in 2020. I think what they meant to say was Pitchfork is completely irrelevant.

    • @zeek_the_freek
      @zeek_the_freek 3 года назад +14

      He's not completely irrelevant, but as much as I love and adore the SP you can't deny that they are not talked about nearly as much as their other contemporaries. Cyr is pretty ok ], but nothing to be marveled at. The problem is that what they released in the nineties was perceived as so good that, unfortunately in the eyes on many people, the band has never been able to quite capture that high again.
      Still I do not wish for relevancy with any of the bands I listen to. If it happens great. All I simply wish for is music that I perceive to be good. Hopefully on their MC&TIS sequel album they will be able to resurrect what mad the band so glorious back in the day.

    Whenever I hear the lyrics “cut that little child”, it breaks me down. 10 years ago those lyrics wouldn’t have meant nothing to me, but now that I’m a father of two boys, I can’t imagine how any parent could abuse their children physically or emotionally. I’m not the best father in the world I’m sure; but I never want to be remembered by my children as a parent who never let my children know that they were loved. A child’s mind is fragile and the things and bad habits that you direct towards them out of selfishness can damage them forever. Fathers, love your children. Tell them and show them that you love them every chance you get, even if it’s just doing little things. Thank you Billy Corgan for keeping me on the right path as a father with your music..

    Glad he's able to keep refining himself while staying true to who he's always been. I think that's the best kind of growth.
