This is weird: I went to middle school and high school with Mike Byrne, the drummer. One time, he lent me "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" in jazz combos so I could burn it. So cool...
Wow , man your standards are really high . Can you give some examples of those drummers who you really do admire ? Genuine question . I'll be Sixteen in January. Play pretty basic guitar electro / acoustic and even basic -er keyboards (!) . I love every deluded minute of it . I believe getting to learn an imstrument , at the humblest of levels , can save thousands and thousands of dollars ( or in moi case British Pound notes ) on exorbitent psychotherapists . No jokes intended ( for once in my life , I'm actually almost being Sincere - what is that all about ) and you can pick up a cheap acoustic for 30 or 40 quid . I got an amazng Yamaha keyboard called a portable grand , full keyboard of piano notes . Actually its missing an octave at top ( Puh - leeze , like I care ) and I got for a ridiculous 15 quid - it cost more for the taxi home . This was more than the bargain of one of my precious lives . I dont know if the owner knew what he was doing , he just seemed to be glad to have more space (!) Or maybe it was a religious day of being nice to nervous over excited teens . I swear that beautiful keyboard sitting in front of it now with my magical ( no other over used word will do , in this particular example ) my magical ( OK ) Play Beatles , Eagles , Abba and Tom Petty ( pour example ) using just 4 chords ( pretty much ) They are like winning the Lottery , well thats what it felt like a moi . So saddos of the world ( including the twit at the Samsung keyboard ) unite you have nothing to lose but your nervous systems and core beliefs . Shee-it , goddam , I've gone waaaay of Topic . Point I was gonna try to make is that drummimg is very hard to even * fake * yr way thru . So that 19 yr old drummer is like a minor deity to me ( and well ...me , I guess ) Anyway love to you and yours Hi from London England ❤❤😂😂🎉❤
This has been the most depressing birthday of my entire life. I miss my mother and friends, my favorite restaurants and the good times had. --but I am listening to this song right now and as I type this I am feeling better. I have everything I need right now. I love you for listening to this and reading this. I hope the summer doesn't get you down.
I was 14 when they dropped this album. It instantly takes me to a new magical world everytime I listen to it, and now there's also a feeling of nostalgia. Forever grateful to the Smashing Pumpkins for this underrated masterpiece.
The irony of a great song like this is the irony of a mountain: The taller it is, the narrower the peak, and the fewer people can reach it. So few will ever know this song. :(
this is absolutely not as good as the old ones. Smashing pumpkins isn't 100% Billy, maybe he did all the guitar and bass parts but the other members still had their things and ideas. Especially jimmy the jinzing drummer.
luitenant22 leaving out Chamberlain and saying Billy was 100% shows a deep lack of knowledge on OP part. In fact Billy would most likely call the comment disrespectful and ludicrous, he loves Jimmy and recognizes his insane talent and contribution. Iha he'll give the finger to.
This is so beautiful, it makes my heart melt. I can't believe that I'm still part of the Smashing Pumpkins generation and that they released this beautiful new work of art! A truly captivating album... long live the Pumpkins!!!
Such beautiful music. I absolutely adore Billy and the Smashing Pumpkins 💘 I seen them on Guitar Center Session and they stole my heart. Brilliant, amazing, and surreal. Billy did an awesome job and I hope that they continue on this wonderful journey and produce more amazing music.
On the day that you were born They built an empire off a scream I can't explain Endlessly they'll set you free Give you reason to believe This empty place I may seem unafraid And I may seem unashamed But I will be special k Never let the summer catch you down Never let your thoughts run free Even when their numbers draw you out Everything I want is free 'Til the end 'Til the end 'Til the end I'm gonna love you 101 percent I'm gonna love you 'til this ends Take a chance if you should go Face upon your happy home The scanners wait Selfishly they might concede You were always on your own You can't escape I may seem unafraid And I may seem unashamed But I will be special k Never let the summer catch you down Never let your thoughts run free Even when their numbers draw you out Everything I want is free You're not me and never ever will you ever be I'm gonna find you and never run against I'm gonna find you 'til the end 'Til the end 'Til the end Never let the summer catch you down Never let your thoughts run free Even when their numbers call you out Everything I want is free Free you're free with me You're free with me
it was 9 years ago... so many things happened in my life, the world has been changed completely... but this masterpiece is still the same. Thank you for everything guys
The Celestials is an example of don’t judge it’s book by the cover. It starts slow and seemingly un-intrusive. Then all of a sudden “SMACK”. And you realize this is the best guitarist, songwriter and singer of all time.
My wife won us a chance to meet him with a meet & greet in Sydney after the concert. I brought a Special K box for him to sign because of this song... this song is absolutely amazing, I love how it starts off acoustic, and builds and builds... I'm an old school Pumpkins fan... but this album is the second coming of Siamese Dream and MCIS!
Songs like this make me paranoid at how many absolutely EXCELLENT songs are out there that I just don't know about. The Celestials might be a top five favorite Smashing Pumpkins song for me and it only has slightly over a million views in over 7 years. I think Kanye West vomits up something and a few days later it gets millions and millions of views.
From Chicago, and this is the band that forever is the hometown band there. We embrace the pumpkins always have! I to am glad Billy finally got the tools to write this album. I agree, great album. But you cannot top Pisce's Iscariot, Siamese Dream.........that was when they had the movement and the radio scene behind them, now you can appreciate Billy Corgan's music and there is no expectations because it's been so long since a REAL album was released by them. less publicity - I LOVE THAT
THIS SONG IS AMAZING! IN THESE DAYS IT'S HARD TO FIND SOMETHING NEW IN MUSIC BUSINNESS, AND MOST OF THE TIMES OLD BANDS COME BACK TOGETHER JUST TO REMEMBER THE GOOD OLD DAYS, AND NOT TO MAKE NEW GOOD MUSIC,,,WELL, SMASHING PUMPKINS CAME OUT WITH THIS RECORD AND IT'S SUCH A CANNONBALL! BIG UP FOR THEM
OCEANIA is friggin phenomenal! At first it sounds like nothing Pumpkins have done before and that's one reason alone why it's great. But with each listen it gets more and more enjoyable to listen to. Hell yeah this is up there with Machina, and Melloncollie. DEFINATELY! Can't wait to see em again. I saw them last Oct in DC. They opened with Quasar if I recall correctly and it just was SMOKIN! :) Go Pumpkins!
This, pale horse, glissandra, and violet rays are appointment fucking awesome. I thoroughly love this whole album, and think SP did an amazing job changing it up

Shame he didn't listen to the drumming and take notes.
Wicked cool!
Nice lie
@@bindingjameswhere's your demo tape at.
My ex-wife's cousin said she knew him too. Never found out if that was true or not, but we got Jimmy back so everything is all better now.
one of the only 90's bands that's still putting out excellent music.
Well said
None couldve said it better
Even with corgan being a asshole off the stage
@@genocideforsomecheetos9686 who gives a shit
Deftones too
A song like this in the 90s and it would be millions of views and sales ... nowadays it goes unnoticed.
What happened ? What sadness...
Fashion is fickle.
This is not going enough to touch any of their '90s song. Whichever studio exec thought this thing could have been a single, should be promptly fired.
Wow , man your standards are really high .

@@smashingpumpkins You have no idea how happy this made me on my birthday. Thank you. :')
@@OrinPhelps I dont know when your birthday is Paul but it looks like it coming up again
Happy early birthday hope this one is more exciting:)
@@thewwekid7957 Ah man, thank you! Made me smile for sure. 😁
Love is all you need . And you have it. I see it here
Love you man.
Criminally underrated album.
This song is SO DAMN GOOD!!! Billy Corgan is unbelievably talented.
I was 14 when they dropped this album. It instantly takes me to a new magical world everytime I listen to it, and now there's also a feeling of nostalgia. Forever grateful to the Smashing Pumpkins for this underrated masterpiece.
Best song on this album, as good as any of their best songs.
True
The irony of a great song like this is the irony of a mountain: The taller it is, the narrower the peak, and the fewer people can reach it. So few will ever know this song. :(
oh, so congratulations for reaching the peak. and much greetings from the deep valley of ignorants.

700k hits there bud
Rémi Gauthier
Look how many hits shitty pop songs get. Literally billions at this point.
JoJo McJoJo D-Dio
how is this band not insanely famous anymore?
Because they don't spew out generic 'oonce oonce oonce' dance songs about getting high in Ibiza.
this band is good, people don't like good things
This is not grunge man
Alternative/prog rock
Remember: The Strokes is really bad
The Smashing Pumpkins modern day classic!
Yeah man, this song's gonna be a classic!!!
Anyone who says this isn't as good as old pumpkins, Billy IS THE SMASHING PUMPKINS, he is 100 percent what makes them, and this is a fantastic album!
This isn't as good as old SP/Billy.....at all.
Why are you here if you don' like it?
STEADYFIRE How else would I hear it? Osmosis? Zing.
this is absolutely not as good as the old ones. Smashing pumpkins isn't 100% Billy, maybe he did all the guitar and bass parts but the other members still had their things and ideas. Especially jimmy the jinzing drummer.

The bass really shines on this song, like this album as much as their older stuff
Gotta miss Nicole.
This is so beautiful, it makes my heart melt. I can't believe that I'm still part of the Smashing Pumpkins generation and that they released this beautiful new work of art! A truly captivating album... long live the Pumpkins!!!
Spending lockdown diving into the discographies of all my favourite bands and new bands I find.
Such beautiful music. I absolutely adore Billy and the Smashing Pumpkins 💘 I seen them on Guitar Center Session and they stole my heart. Brilliant, amazing, and surreal. Billy did an awesome job and I hope that they continue on this wonderful journey and produce more amazing music.
On the day that you were born
They built an empire off a scream
I can't explain
Endlessly they'll set you free
Give you reason to believe
This empty place
I may seem unafraid
And I may seem unashamed
But I will be special k
Never let the summer catch you down
Never let your thoughts run free
Even when their numbers draw you out
Everything I want is free
'Til the end
'Til the end
'Til the end
I'm gonna love you 101 percent
I'm gonna love you 'til this ends
Take a chance if you should go
Face upon your happy home
The scanners wait
Selfishly they might concede
You were always on your own
You can't escape
I may seem unafraid
And I may seem unashamed
But I will be special k
Never let the summer catch you down
Never let your thoughts run free
Even when their numbers draw you out
Everything I want is free
You're not me and never ever will you ever be
I'm gonna find you and never run against
I'm gonna find you 'til the end
'Til the end
'Til the end
Never let the summer catch you down
Never let your thoughts run free
Even when their numbers call you out
Everything I want is free
Free you're free with me
You're free with me
@@rogerdawson3675 Probably a reference to the famous Placebo song.
it was 9 years ago... so many things happened in my life, the world has been changed completely...
but this masterpiece is still the same. Thank you for everything guys
..i'm gonna love you.... ♥ oh my god.. Pumpkins always the best!

amazing album after all these years!!
All these years!!??? Like all five of them?
lol right? well now its like 7 or so...
1:52 Is one of the best "guitar explosions" Corgan has produced, and he's done a bunch.
i love this album so much
The Celestials is an example of don’t judge it’s book by the cover. It starts slow and seemingly un-intrusive. Then all of a sudden “SMACK”. And you realize this is the best guitarist, songwriter and singer of all time.
hell yeah!

Aí Sim!!!

Love this song alot
This song, this album.... So many memories.... First time I've been able to listen to it since August due to those memories...
Grande Billy Corgan!!!
My wife won us a chance to meet him with a meet & greet in Sydney after the concert. I brought a Special K box for him to sign because of this song... this song is absolutely amazing, I love how it starts off acoustic, and builds and builds... I'm an old school Pumpkins fan... but this album is the second coming of Siamese Dream and MCIS!
Saw them in Missoula, Montana. One of the best nights of my life.
this is my favorite song ever. :)
Among the other instruments the acoustic guitar's sound and recording in verse1/chorus1 are to die for!
Ótimo álbum, se
~This song will be in my wedding 🎩❤🤘🏽
This is one of his songs that gets stuck in my head the whole day after listening to it.
This album restored my faith in music again :)
S.P. the best!
You should be proud to call yourself a Pumpkins fan any day. They kicked ass then, they kick ass now, so be proud to always be a fan.
brasileiros conheceram esse musica pela 89.1 A Rádio Rock
When is Billy going to change into cereal? "I will be Special K..."
I can't get over how amazing this song is
Great love song.
I literally cannot stop listening to this
