Finally got around to ripping all of my Smashing Pumpkins (The Aeroplane Flies High boxset, the Greatest Hits album + bonus disc) and am giving them a listen right now. It appears I may finally be over my SP burnout. I hadn't been able to listen to anything featuring Billy Corgan because I'd hit a point of overkill about 4 years ago. Occasionally I have an urge to listen to a few particular tracks, but the desire faded quickly. So far I don't want to kill myself. We'll see if that changes soon.
Smashing Pumkins - Cherry
Stay with me, I'll set you free
'Cause I can tell you once were pretty
Rose so sad you've lost your petals
Lost the luster off your tattle tales
I need a love to help me find my way
I need a strength that I cannot betray
I need a word to say what I can't say
I need a lover, lover
I need a lover, lover
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
Time has lost its hold on me
Hatred sleeps inside my bones
In the stillness of cool air
All the boys have been left for dead
'Cause we go where they fear to tread
The beautiful one's the one's we'll remember
The precious one's our greatest pretenders
I need a love to help me find my way
I need a strength that I cannot betray
I need a word to say what I can't say
I need a lover, lover
I need a lover, lover
And if you lose yourself
Could you take me, too?
Could you rest inside the sleep?
Stay with me, I'll set you free from you...
Stay with me, I'll set you free from you...
Stay with me, I'll set you free from you...
Stay with me, I'll set you free from you...
I need a love...
For someone that has no musical skills, I've too much interest in music. I should open a record store or start writing reviews for a shitty indie mag.
