    So a little story about that brief concert scene starting at 2:14. I was living in Los Angeles at the time, and had been obsessed with the Pumpkins ever since Siamese Dream was released. As luck would have it, I must have been listening to the radio (KROQ) at the right time because they announced that the Pumpkins would be recording a video and that all you needed to do was line up at a certain address. This is before social media of course. So the next thing I know, I was there with a friend of mine -- it was one of those old abandoned buildings in Hollywood that once must have been magnificent but now was falling into disrepair. They let in the first however many people in that line, and we happened to be among of those. And let me tell you, the next two hours were incredible. There was some waiting around in this industrial-type room, packed tight with fans, with just a stage on it. Then the Pumpkins took the stage and they didn't just play Perfect -- in fact, they may not even have played Perfect at all. Instead, they performed an entire impromptu concert of all their hits from Gish and Siamese Dream. They must have been playing for at least an hour, totally rocking out, and we were all so close them. The energy was incredible and it was so intimate, so powerful. You can see how low the ceiling was in that room, I'm sure it was hot as hell too. Now, I can't see myself in the scene in the video, but I was there. It's an example of how, at least back then, the Pumpkins just loved playing music for playing's sake, and giving back to their fans. Same thing with their concerts, when they would do encores that lasted an hour. Here, they could have just showed up for five minutes and gotten the footage they needed, but no, they treated their fans to special, secret concert and a memory for a lifetime. Here's to Billy, James, D'arcy, and Jimmy. True class and genius.

    I honestly miss these days so much. Exactly, turning on MTV, with Smashing Pumpkins coming on. Or Foos, Pearl Jam, Nirvana. I just can't cope. Every time I hear their music I am just overwhelmed with emotion because the music was so genuine, so authentic, it had so many layers then. I keep hope that there will be bands like this in our time but I doubt it. At least we were around at a time when this music was at its peak and we got to experience it. Pfffft.

    The album Adore is one of the most underrated albums ever. The flow is perfect, there's not a single filler song, the production is astonishing, and it's mind blowingly original. Who else had infused Gothic Rock, Electronica, and Jazz? Nobody that's who. With songs like To Shelia, Ava Adore, Perfect, Crestfallen, For Martha, Dusty And Pistol Pete, Shame, Blank Page, Tear, and and Annie Dog who could turn the noses up the beautiful Gothic Noire album? Most people unfortunately.

      I started listening to SP in '07 after I heard 1979 on GTA IV during my freshman year. By the time I was a junior I was neck deep in Machina II and in love with Home and Real Love. After all these years Adore is one of the only albums, along with Siamese Dream, that SP made where I can listen to it front to back. Daphne Descends is beautiful, Shame is sorrowful and rather depressing, and Perfect reminds me that life can be worth living - even if all we can do is naively grasp at an idealized version of the past for some respite from our suffering. I agree 100%, Adore is unjustly bashed by those within and without the fandom. But fuck 'em. For most if them if it isn't MCIS or SD then they don't listen. So who cares what fits their limited taste?

      It's pretty interesting. So I think Adore was the album that sold only a million compared to Mellon collie which was like 10 plus million. Adore I believe was when their popularity went down hill. But today on Spotify Adore is the 3rd most listened to of all their albums....underneath siamese dream and Mellon collie....shows how ahead of the curb they were.

    to me the lyrics are a couple who had something serious but something changed, and they aren't together but try to be friends but that doesn't work and they fall away from each other. They both want it to come back but neither can make it happen. So when they see each other they seem like strangers to each other, but in their dreams they are still together.

Next time they'll be different and better and be perfect. (which will never happen) This makes perfect sense to me because it's how I feel about an ex. Fuck this song (amazing tho)

    Something I noticed:
    It's said that "Perfect" is a sequel video to "1979", with the same characters who are now 2 years older, and the story visits the same convenience store that the kids trashed in 1979 with the same clerk working the counter. Both videos were filmed in CA in or near The Valley. However, the vehicle license plates in 1979 are all Illinois license plates, and the license plates in Perfect are all California license plates. Since the Pumpkins are from Chicago, I would have thought they would have kept the IL license plates in the Perfect video, but it might mean that it wasn't a specific thought in the 1979 video.

    You can have a Perfect relationship with a person even tough you don't like each other in the same way. It's hard to accept and it can break your heart at the beginning. However in order to be liked by someone you have got to be yourself and this way to live will help you feel better and it will improve the relationship. Being a deep person in the 21st century is hard but it's better than use people just for your stuff losing interest when he/she's in trouble. I dedicate this comment to all people who have suffered from depression and that think they're rejected every day like me. I'll promise we'll be Perfect, one day.

    This song and album just reminds me of when we bought this record at a Sam Goody. (If you actually remember those fucking things.) We would drive around and listen to it and I remember my mom would just keep on driving. She said it was cause she wanted us to keep listening to the album, since we liked it so much. But I really think now it's because we were insanely poor and her life was insanely hard then, and I think when my mom was actually at the house, the reality of the nightmare set in. So, it was easier to just pretend we were driving somewhere new; new and better. I still don't know why I play this song, because all I can do is cry.

    By far one of their best songs. Born in the 80s, and the band hit their high stride when I was in high school. Good nostalgic memories. Timeless music. Check out the last two minutes of Porcelina of the Vast Oceans from their Magnum Opus "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness". James Iha's guitar work is very haunting and beautiful. Typical Billy Corgan to be wearing a cowboy hat when he was anything but.
