If this album came out right now, it would have been viewed in a different light completely. I'll get in trouble for saying this, but it might have been ahead of it's time like Adore. Maybe I'm just getting older and appreciate music differently. Yeah, probably just me.
honestly you might be kinda right at the time this was really misplaced and felt almost... stale? the drum sound didn't make much sense at the time i guess, sounded very "80s" lo & behold, you have 80s drum sounds on damn near every pop song coming out these days
Meraxes billy is brilliant - he was ahead of the time in terms of musically and I don’t think when this was released many people still appreciated his work anymore and it’s tragic - his music is not what it use to be.. however I will always love him and I don’t regret the giant SP I have tattooed on my left arm ;)
This solo album is actually really brilliant. I love how Billy's signature writing style is evident....yet tonally it sounds unlike anything else he'd ever put out. At first I was iffy on the guitar tone....but now I honestly love it. It's the polar opposite of the bass-heavy big muff pi crunch Billy perfected through the 90s.....instead it's this cool shoe-gazey wash of tonality. And it really works. As with so much of Billy's work, it only sounds better as time goes on. I honestly don't think that will be the case with the latest string of utter let-down albums SP has released lately....but oh well. Billy's already proven himself _many times over_ to be a overwhelmingly prolific and undeniably creative songwriter....easily one of the best, if not the best, of his generation. So if the recent stuff falls flat....that sucks, but it doesn't bother me. Billy's already enriched my life with the sort of music 10 talented songwriters would be hard-pressed to create in their lifetimes. He's a musical genius....
Perfect summation! His body of work will outlast all us mere mortals. I'm hoping future generations give this man his due and his name is mentioned alongside the greats like Mozart and Beethoven. The period from 1991-2000 was perfection and the fact the sound changed so drastically from genre to genre makes it all the more impressive.
I remember liking this when it came out because it reminded of a bit of Adore and still managed to keep that crafty melancholy sound. It even further explored elements of shoegaze and electronica. Definitely a high point in BC's career.
Lol. I wrote a similar comment and just read yours. Adore was a life changing album for me, and The Future Embrace was very unappreciated and brilliant
The best thing about Billy C is that there is only one singer like this. You cannot confuse him, his voice or style with anybody and anything. I remember his last concert in 2000 I think, it wss in Oberhausen, Germany...
This is so cool, I am from Utah, but was living in Germany in 2000 and drove 3 hours to Oberhausen to see them that year! He's one of the greats for sure. 😊
@Randi Smith, so probably we were there at the same time! Cool! ❤️ I know Utah, it is a beautiful State. I spent one week there once - it was very special to me. . Regards. ☘️
I am not of the generation that used listen to him... It was my daughter who made me listen to him by giving me his album as a birthday gift, and short after that I bought all his albums ... I still have my daughter's photo with Billy...
this song looks like smashing pumpkins, but they are not ... it looks like Swan, but they are not .. so it had to be the essence of all of them ... Billy Corgan
@Fui Gebhardt1 While im not a huge fan of songs like Helena and Teenagers for being a bit overly angsty, their body of work is alot more diverse and interesting if you look into it. Their first album bullets has alot to offer if you give it a chance. Sucks when a fandom of teenager girls gives a quality band a bad wrap IMO.
@Fui Gebhardt1 To each their own I guess. I really like MCR generally, especially their first album, just as I like the Smashing Pumpkins. Im just saying, maybe listen to some more of their work rather than guessing based on what you consider "beyond probable" quality... Whether its 'cringe' or not shouldnt matter either.
One of the most beautiful clips I have ever seen...A pure feeling in a perfect sound and image...Something we don't see anymore in this world...Pena que um sentimento tão bonito e importante para uma pessoa, é a expressão de um sentimento bobo, envergonhado e omisso para os outros=um aspecto do rock and roll...ininteligível...que desfaz as relações puras e saudáveis entre as pessoas que se identificam reciprocamente...muito além das meras fronteiras da vida.
Look at ya now Look at ya Torn estates Took forever Couldn't wait on words, on sound I just want you so You're everything, so cold The perfume of your rose in bloom I just want you so Anywhere I go The chase, the bells below Taken from my soul On the 9th day God created shame I'm out walking shade To brush these fires aside To calm the rising fight To build you a new life Should you choose I've picked the best for you It's your turn and my time to test I'll second guess the rest Look at ya now Look at ya Nothin's faced Took advantage of my faith and called me out I just want you so You're everything I'm told Dumb enough to scold this tongue I just want you so Anywhere I go A kingdom for your rain A pocket for your soul I just want you so You're everything although The risk is getting close to you I'm out walking shade The sun is going out The word is getting round That I just want you so
It's clip distortion, modulation of some kind (probably chorus or modulated delay), delay, and reverb. That distortion sound is all in clip distortion/digital distortion.
I wish this would be made available on Itunes or spotify. The fans want it WPC! I have to listen to it on RUclips all the time since my cd bit the dust.
Look at ya now ,look at ya nothin's faced Took advantage of my faith and called me out I just want you so You're everything I'm told .Dumb enough to scold this tongue I just want you so ,anywhere I go A kingdom for your rain, a pocket for your soul I just want you so, you're everything although The risk is getting close to you .I'm out walking shade .The sun is going out .The word is getting round That I just want you so
Look at ya now look at ya Torn estates, took forever couldn't wait on words, on sound. I just want you so,you're everything, so cold. The perfume of your rose in bloom I just want you so Anywhere I go. The chase, the bells below taken from my soul. On the 9th day God created shame, I'm out walking shade To brush these fires aside, to calm the rising fight. To build you a new life Should you choose? I've picked the best for you It's your turn and my time to test, I'll second guess the rest
I don't get it. When this album came out, I thought it was a big turd. Now I'm listening and my mind is blown by its brilliance. And I know that I'm not the only one. Why is Billy such a time bomb?
Billy was ahead of his time... I think that's the eternal issue. Watch. The Americana folk of Cotillions will be all the rage 10 years from now. Today nobody is paying much attention. Too bad :(
This was a very underappreciated album. I still like coming back to it, and Adore. Billy is an artists artist. Uncompromising in his vision and always willing to take risks.
Can someone explain to me the sound on this album? It is also present on Adore. Like, a lot of "wall of sound" mixed up with E-bow and untuned echoes....but I would like to know more about the production of this album, please?
@Madoushi11 Most of his early Pumpkins work was great, but I agree with you on "The Future Embrace" being some of his best work. Billy at heart is a New Waver. He must of listened to so much New Order, Cure, and Depeche Mode when he was younger. There is a lot of David Bowie influence in his "Future Embrace" work as well. My favorite song in "The Future Embrace" is "Now and Then" but they are all great. Too bad he had to bring back his old band. I prefer his solo work.
This truly is the successor to the best of his Pumpkins work. It felt so much like the Pumpkins were back with this song. The imagery is a best-part mix of Mellon Collie, Adore & Machina; the music is a great follow-up to Machina. Too bad this seems to have been the climax. Nowadays, the Pumpkins' stuff is interesting, but not quite overall as magical as this song or the 90s stuff.
Conheci essa musica em 2005. Em uma desventura amorosa. Minha antiga namorada estava terminando comigo enquanto essa música tocava no central mtv. Desde então não consigo parar de escutá-la. Lá se vão mais de 10 anos. Hj sou casado com aquela namorada. Irônico né?
I played this nonstop the summer it came out.. listening now, it was the beginning of the end for Billy's vocal production or lack thereof. Pull it back just a tiny bit in the mix and use some reverb. I don't recall this being such a problem for the rest of the album.

I’m convinced Billy Corgan is a time traveller from Victorian era.
William Patrick Corgan, Victorian time traveling superhero! He always knew 'The Future Embrace' would stand the test of time!
What a pure genius.
his guitar sound on this album is just a thing of beauty
Honestly this album was probably the best thing Corgan has done since the initial SP breakup.
100%
If this album came out right now, it would have been viewed in a different light completely. I'll get in trouble for saying this, but it might have been ahead of it's time like Adore.
Maybe I'm just getting older and appreciate music differently. Yeah, probably just me.
Adore is one of Billy's best written CDs. Yes when you do get older your tastes should change. Nothing wrong there ;)
I liked this album.
honestly you might be kinda right
at the time this was really misplaced and felt almost... stale? the drum sound didn't make much sense at the time i guess, sounded very "80s"
lo & behold, you have 80s drum sounds on damn near every pop song coming out these days
A sudden nostalgia rush got me here, because I used to wear this album out 😁
Meraxes billy is brilliant - he was ahead of the time in terms of musically and I don’t think when this was released many people still appreciated his work anymore and it’s tragic - his music is not what it use to be.. however I will always love him and I don’t regret the giant SP I have tattooed on my left arm ;)

How the hell does this badass song and videoclip have so few views and why the heck am I the first one commenting since 10 years
Because he was cancelled on the premise of being a fascist pig 😂
Right what is this
@@chamico oh do tell....how is he a fascist pig? This better be good too...dont waste my time with some lame ass answer either!
Exactly what I was thinking. Last time I looked its not on spotify either. Badass song and video!
This song and video are miles beyond the view count.
This album contains some of BC's best songs ever. I have no idea why it's not on Spotify/Apple Music
.
I am not of the generation that used listen to him... It was my daughter who made me listen to him by giving me his album as a birthday gift, and short after that I bought all his albums ... I still have my daughter's photo with Billy...
Very cool. Your daughter has great taste in music....and it's cool that you're open enough to embrace it as well!
this song looks like smashing pumpkins, but they are not ... it looks like Swan, but they are not .. so it had to be the essence of all of them ... Billy Corgan
@fear less, I still love those songs and I will always love them. I keep everything as my treasures. 🌻
This is so cool to hear! I love that
This song is extremely 80s, it sounds like New Order
love the 80's sound to the start truly brilliant corgan
You can see where Gerard Way got his style from.
I dunno if I agree. I am a huge fan of them both, but other than a common gothic style influence I dont see that much of a similarity.

They got similar teeth as well

Look at ya now
Look at ya
Torn estates
Took forever
Couldn't wait on words, on sound
I just want you so
You're everything, so cold
The perfume of your rose in bloom
I just want you so
Anywhere I go
The chase, the bells below
Taken from my soul
On the 9th day God created shame
I'm out walking shade
To brush these fires aside
To calm the rising fight
To build you a new life
Should you choose
I've picked the best for you
It's your turn and my time to test
I'll second guess the rest
Look at ya now
Look at ya
Nothin's faced
Took advantage of my faith and called me out
I just want you so
You're everything I'm told
Dumb enough to scold this tongue
I just want you so
Anywhere I go
A kingdom for your rain
A pocket for your soul
I just want you so
You're everything although
The risk is getting close to you
I'm out walking shade
The sun is going out
The word is getting round
That I just want you so
I love this so much.
underrated!
Loved this album when it came out I was fresh out of high school ..love the guitar sound to this day I'm still trying to replicate it
It's clip distortion, modulation of some kind (probably chorus or modulated delay), delay, and reverb. That distortion sound is all in clip distortion/digital distortion.
this video would been killer in 3D.
Awfully underrated album. It’s a downtempo Adore and I love it so 🥰
Absolute genius.
This has aged well ❤
Essas diferenças foram sempre as nossas únicas e grandes diferenças...nada mais.
Underrated.
The album is titled the "The Future Embrace" for a reason . I have been a Pumpkins fan since Gish. I just want your soul !
you got it
Great song. Great video.
CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF IT !
ITS AWESOME :' )
This such an underrated album that i never really appreciated at the time...
I wish this would be made available on Itunes or spotify. The fans want it WPC! I have to listen to it on RUclips all the time since my cd bit the dust.
beautiful song
Emilie did fantastic costume work for this video!
Shine on you crazy diamond
well he had great hair back in 91', i am a big fan of sp and billys own stuff
😎😎😎😎 Walking Shade 😎😎😎😎 excellent voice, excellent performer
Imagine if music like this was on the radio...
Damn good song, the future embrace is a gem and is some of Corgan's finest work.
Agreed!
Complete! Brilliance.......
The perfum of your rose in bloom
Look at ya now ,look at ya nothin's faced
Took advantage of my faith and called me out
I just want you so
You're everything I'm told .Dumb enough to scold this tongue
I just want you so ,anywhere I go
A kingdom for your rain, a pocket for your soul
I just want you so, you're everything although The risk is getting close to you .I'm out walking shade .The sun is going out .The word is getting round That I just want you so
One my favorites singers and favorite bands smashing pumpkins.💜💜💜👍love billies solo album👌👍
Its... A kingdom for your brain.
i love this song it's so awesome billy should do another solo album imo
Look at ya now look at ya Torn estates, took forever couldn't wait on words, on sound.
I just want you so,you're everything, so cold. The perfume of your rose in bloom
I just want you so Anywhere I go. The chase, the bells below taken from my soul.

songs like these make me cry :( this is too beautiful, too much emotions to handle haha. billy is great! SP or solo, both a gift to our ears
Billy was ahead of his time... I think that's the eternal issue. Watch. The Americana folk of Cotillions will be all the rage 10 years from now. Today nobody is paying much attention. Too bad :(
This was a very underappreciated album. I still like coming back to it, and Adore. Billy is an artists artist. Uncompromising in his vision and always willing to take risks.
Still waiting for part two!
Waaaaoo!
What a wonderful video and song!
Beautiful colours and 2D 3D.
* one second in*
me: oh- i love this song
Can someone explain to me the sound on this album? It is also present on Adore. Like, a lot of "wall of sound" mixed up with E-bow and untuned echoes....but I would like to know more about the production of this album, please?
Modular synths, drum machines, and guitar
THIS IS WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF
2024…still awesome
Amo demais essa musica !! Perfeita !! 🖤
This is way better than the new stuff “Cyr”
He’s old now
this song is great, I'm here because I saw this video in Animax Mexico some years ago and I also like Emile's clothe design
why isn't it on spotify?
Same!
@maldorra Billy Corgan The Future Embrace it's a really good album I listen to it a lot.
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Why is this song not on Spotify or Amazon Music.
FUCK!!! THIS VIDEO IS FUCKING AMAZING MAN!"!!!!
I need this entire album on vinyl ASAP. The sound of my teenage years.
Good song. Should have gotten more play.
@bladerunner1b This is what happens when you mix Adore, and Machina2: The Friends Of Modern Music together beautiful sound.
Solo and Zwan were better than post-break-up Pumpkins, IMO.
Songs like i'm in future
when this came out skrillex was part of from first to last, and i witnessed the fall of my chemical romance... good times
this is seriously due for some love by the current SP lineup. would love to see james and Jimmy play on a heavier live version of this 🎸
Still here in 2019!

😍💕💖
i have very good today but when is this grown up but i dont remember what it is of which track
💕
I was looking for this song for years💕
It took me 16 years to founded.
Why does he look better in clothing that's centuries old??
This truly is the successor to the best of his Pumpkins work. It felt so much like the Pumpkins were back with this song.

Must've played this song three times on my way home from work tonight. Love this track.
thanks emilie autumn for the awesome clothes!!! *-*
please post lyrics of this song
Conheci essa musica em 2005. Em uma desventura amorosa. Minha antiga namorada estava terminando comigo enquanto essa música tocava no central mtv. Desde então não consigo parar de escutá-la. Lá se vão mais de 10 anos. Hj sou casado com aquela namorada. Irônico né?
i love this song
And still one of the best songs ever written...!!!!
Billy is a legend, he has some sort of charm in his voice that i cannot find in anyone else....his voice is freakin special
which album is this song from?
@ ▷ *Billy Corgan*
🎶▷ *Walking Shade*
💿▷ *TheFutureEmbrace*
📅▷ 2005
🎬︎▷ *P.R. Brown*
this is just as new wave as depeche mode. and i didnt appreciate it when i was younger. cuz the singing isnt as good.
Chris S. it's very Gary Numan
***** yes he is good too. in cars
Y check out Operators
Very futuristic song
Alternative rock,grunge and indie rock...
I played this nonstop the summer it came out.. listening now, it was the beginning of the end for Billy's vocal production or lack thereof. Pull it back just a tiny bit in the mix and use some reverb. I don't recall this being such a problem for the rest of the album.
Amo esta cación, la AAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this could've fit in easily with the songs on mellon collie
Doesn't sound a million miles away from "Cyr" territory although I prefer this.
Good song. I like his voice here. He hadn't yet developed the annoying little high pitched vibrato.
THIS SONG KICKS ASS AND HIS SOLO ALBUM DOES TOO! :D
genial billy corgan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It took 4 years for them to officially post this amazing song on RUclips? Am I missing something?
Classic. 2005-06...... ahh, those were the days.
It's better than "Oceania"
i found this by randomly searching billy
Lol did you like the song though?
Dulce Garcia ........... *sniffles* i luv it it makes me happy ^_^
sleep paralysis Cool - mutual love for Billy!...or at least this particular song lol :)
cheese
Cheese lol -?
