another signature Corgan song - distills a lot of his essence in three minutes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkgML3AJZ28
I fear that I am ordinary, just like everyoneTo lie here and die among the sorrowsAdrift among the daysFor everything I ever saidAnd everything I've ever done is gone and deadAs all things must surely have to endAnd great loves will one day have to partI know that I am meant for this world
My life has been extraordinaryBlessed and cursed and wonTime heals but I'm forever brokenBy and by the way...Have you ever heard the wordsI'm singing in these songs?It's for the girl I've loved all alongCan a taste of love be so wrong?As all things must surely have to endAnd great loves will one day have to partI know that I am meant for this world
And in my mind as I was floatingFar above the cloudsSome children laughed I'd fall for certainFor thinking that I'd live Forever
But I knew exactly where I wasAnd I knew the meaning of it allAnd I knew the distance to the sunAnd I knew the echo that is loveAnd I knew the secrets in your spiresAnd I knew the emptiness of youthAnd I knew the solitude of heartsAnd I knew the murmurs of the soul
And the world is drawn into your handsAnd the world is etched upon your heartAnd the world so hard to understandIs the world your can't live without
And I knew the silence of the world

he's making fun of his nonsense in that song, while having this weight- the feeling is close to "well, everything's gonna be alright in the end, ashes to ashes, dust to dust"

While my kids pull off that nasal "I-really-mean-it-so-I'm-gonna-repeat-the-line-like-NAAAAAAAAA" thing Corgan does much better.

I like Pavement a fair amount, but not so much those moments. His comical high screech.
Anyway, my point was more that there's something earnest and emotional in Smashing Pumpkins that I don't get from Pavement and this is where my sympathies these days tend to lie.
(Alternate post: Malkmus couldn't really scream to Pavement either.)

There's a song on his solo debut where he does a crazy high scream.

I'm not trying to dogpile on you all or be obtuse about this, but I feel like this argument is going toward "Greeting cards that say 'I love you, I miss you, I am alone' are more earnest than Raymond Carver stories which never even say those things."

Adore is fantastic, and the closest Corgan has ever come to making music that sounds like it was written by a fully-formed human. (I say this as a pretty massive SP fan.)

That one is actually not that bad, but the cage one is a bad idea wherever you look at it. It butchers the song, he looks and sounds like a tool and it's a bad ad. I don't see which audience would look at it and go: that's awesome dude!

i don't understand this.. Malkmus' music is consistently decent to good and the guy seems pretty healthy.. well-mosturized, at least.
last couple Jicks records are up there w/face the truth, their music is better than anything Thurston, Beck, or Lee Ranaldo have put out for years. And sure, rating Jicks albums is a subjective endeavor. But, shit, Malk's post-pavement output is as consistent as Starbucks. Can't say much for Billy Corgan, but yeah, Siamese Dream is awesome.

Ray Rogers: You've said that [your last album] Siamese Dream was born out of a lot of personal and band-related crises. What was the impetus for Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness?
Billy Corgan:It was basically a big "fuck-off" to anyone who has doubted us as a band. In a positive way, I wanted to really embrace the notions of creativity, to just go as far out as we wanted to go and not get too hung up about the commercial aspects.
RR:What kinds of doubts are you talking about?
BC: Doubts about the band actually coming together to make a record. I wanted to squash all that like a bug.
James Iha: It's a double record-that just doesn't happen if people aren't together on every level.
RR:Billy, you got a lot a lot of criticism last time around for playing some of the guitar and bass parts [on Siamese Dream]. How did you react to that with this record?
BC: We worked out systems by which those things wouldn't happen this time. Nobody understands the scenario: We were under different pressures, different economic constraints. Not everybody moves as quickly as I do. James comes up with great ideas; it just takes him twice as long as it takes me. So I try not to penalize anybody for the speed at which they move.
JI: It doesn't really take me twice as long.
BC:It's a general comment.
