THE SMASHING PUMPKINS!!!
For those of you listening to music's current tango machine of commercial music...follow the next few steps and receive reincarnation powers and complete enlightenment
1. Head to any good music store, HMV, Gramphony, etc
2. Search under SMASHING PUMPKINS
3. Pick out a copy of MELLON COLLIE AND THE INFINITE SADNESS
4. Buy it
Without a doubt, THE #1 album that defined the teenaged years of my friends and I. We grew up to this. It was our anthem, our bible. 28 beautiful songs that deal with teenage angst to love, to hate, to the gorgeous exploration of wildly inventive music. Those were the days. The days we spent at playgrounds listening to the album, memorizing the lyrics, and filling our English composition with words from the songs. Heck, I stole lyrics from this album, placed it into my O Level composition, and did nicely for it. Breakups, heartaches, joy and teenage devastation. Didn't matter, MELLON COLLIE was always there for us. The teenage bible.
Forget that bombastic emo invasion. LISTEN TO THIS PLEASE.
You won't regret it.
Here are some youtube links to inspire you. Nothing sounds like them these days, not even themselves. Check out the videos below. Then go get the album!
"Goodnight, to every little hour that you sleep tight"
TONIGHT, TONIGHT
My god, I LOVED THIS SONG, and I loved this video.
1979
The song that made me buy the album
BULLET WITH BUTTERFLY WINGS
"The world is a vampire" "Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage"
!!!
ZERO
"Emptiness is loneliness and loneliness is clenliness and clenliness is godliness, and god is empty, just like me!"
Although from another album...still a great song
AVA ADORE
"It's you that I adore. You'll always be my whore. We will never be apart"
PLEASE GO GET THE ALBUM!!!
lyrics are posted in my comments page :)
Love, levan

TONIGHT TONIGHT
Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel
Believe, believe in me, believe
That life can change, that you're not stuck in vain
We're not the same, we're different tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight
And you know you're never sure
But your sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
And the embers never fade in your city by the lake
The place where you were born
Believe, believe in me, believe
In the resolute urgency of now
And if you believe there's not a chance tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight
We'll crucify the insincere tonight
We'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight
We'll find a way to offer up the night tonight
The indescribable moments of your life tonight
The impossible is possible tonight
Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight
1979
Shakedown 1979, cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
Junebug skipping like a stone
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we'd never see an end to it all
And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
Double cross the vacant and the bored
They're not sure just what we have in store
Morphine city slippin dues down to see
That we don't even care as restless as we are
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement, lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope
Justine never knew the rules,
Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
No apologies ever need be made, I know you better than you fake it
To see that we don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
The street heats the urgency of sound
As you can see there's no one around
BULLET WITH BUTTERFLY WINGS
The world is a vampire, sent to drain
Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
And what do I get, for my pain?
Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
Even though I know - I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold - like old job
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Now I'm naked, nothing but an animal
But can you fake it, for just one more show?
And what do you want?
I want to change
And what have you got, when you feel the same?
Even though I know - I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold - like old job
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was the only son, yeah.
Tell me I'm the chosen one
Jesus was the only son for you
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
And someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage am I still just a rat in a-
Despite all my rage am I still just a rat in a-
Despite all my rage am I still just a rat in a cage
Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was the only son for you
[x4]
And I still beleive that I cannot be saved
ZERO
My reflection, dirty mirror
There's no connection to myself
I'm your lover, I'm your zero
I'm the face in your dreams of glass
So save your prayers
For when we're really gonna need'em
Throw out your cares and fly
Wanna go for a ride?
She's the one for me
She's all I really need
Cause she's the one for me
Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness
And cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty just like me
Intoxicated with the madness, I'm in love with my sadness
Bullshit fakers, enchanted kingdoms
The fashion victims chew their charcoal teeth
I never let on, that I was on a sinking ship
I never let on that I was down
You blame yourself, for what you can't ignore
You blame yourself for wanting more
She's the one for me
She's all I really need
She's the one for me
She's my one and only
you very random hor.

hahaha
Not a ronin fan, but your blog is amazing. (unless by some offchance you happen to not want complete strangers to read your blog)
could never get into melancollie, but machina is my numero uno. machina ii is probably made in the same mood but the element of hope and belief is not as strong as machina. there's a stronger spiritual transformation within that album which made it worth looping ad infinitum.
bullet with butterfly wings, however, is one of the better songs from that album.
