      I have found that I have started to prefer this newer music of theirs, of his. Like maybe the old music is for those old feelings, those old memories and this is for now. Its not better per se, but its amazing and it speaks to me, not the man or boy I was.

    Faithless moors
    Pulling up your oars
    From rivers I have crossed
    In magic no heart's lost
    And I'll leave with anyone this night
    And I'll kiss anyone tonight
    Am I the only one you see?
    Raised from the path of revelry
    Spells fall frail
    Webs catching sail
    In eternal eternities
    Divine purpose catching free
    And I'll leave with anyone this night
    And I'll kiss anyone tonight
    Am I the only one you see?
    Seized from the wrath of revelry
    Am I the only one you see?
    Does love matter when loves the actor
    For what you are after is me
    Babe, don't leave me, please believe me
    'Cause I'm so easy to know
    Am I the only one you see?
    Raised from the path of revelry
    Am I the only one you see?

    Does anyone else agree if this album had two classic artsy pumpkins music videos for Panopticon and The Celestials this would have had a lot more success in this day and age of music and the internet? I'm literally shocked this didn't become a massive hit album. I reckon maybe Billy lost a lot of his fans for being too outspoken and also the musical landscape in the mainstream has changed so much. But I'm surprised it' didn't find a new audience. if this album was released in the late 90s, or was released before zeitgeist it would have been more successful

    • @DarkRendarius
      @DarkRendarius 6 лет назад +6

      I think its more the change in times and current musical trends.... And the major factor of his largest number of fans being unaware of the release.... due to family, work, and al the BS life has us dealing with, and prevents many from knowing, searching, or caring about their old music and love of it.... = (
      Ive gone through periods like this myself, and I am a musician...
      Im SO DAMN glad I was doing whatever I needed to be doing to be aware of this album an Billy still writing and releasing music...
      But Im sure you are right too and he might have lost fans, but Id assume its a smaller number than those that are just lost in their lives and other commitments for their time, and focus.... ts kinda sad honestly... Life and what it entails for most....

    Violet Rays is amazing as is this whole album. The Pumpkins are one of, if not the best alternative rock bands of all time, and one of the biggest influences of a music generation. Corgan is a musical and lyrical genius and continues to show it. This song sends quivers up my spine. Heading to Boston tonight to see them for the second time this year, and gajillionth time in my life. Can't wait, they never let me down.

      @Saosin3333 9 лет назад

      it doesn't matter if they're sitting and not touring. If you saw his earlier interviews of 1993, he mentions that after Gish, he never anticipated nor did he count on touring rather that he'd find whatever path his music chooses. And even now that he is touring, he says it's almost dreadful; he mentioned it in a 2007 interview in "If All Goes Wrong". I've seen his interviews. I'm only replying to you because it kind of bothered me that you think I'm mindless even though you don't know who I am. This whole reply is almost pointless but as a human I have a right to speak my mind without hurting your feelings, nor you hurting my feelings. We both love the Smashing Pumpkins, we both appreciate Billy, and we both have our own opinions, brah.
