    Volcomaestro, yr tripping. This is one of the most charming and subtle things on the whole album. It contrasts perfectly with the blistering angst metal of X.Y.U. before it.

    Scope, charm, artistic vision and poetry: some things that would be lost in this process, Volcomaestro... You're wrong

    Mellon Collie would've been an amazing single album without some of the poor songs dotted through both of it's discs. Instead it is a so-so double album because of them, this is one of those tracks amongst many others that should never have seen the light of day.

    For some reason, I feel like playing Animal Crossing when I play this song.

    This could almost be a Magnetic Fields song; unusual for the Pumpkins, but they pull it off well.

    this was a surprising closing song at a show in 2008, but somehow it worked :)

    @joshuatxuk This is like the anthem for the feral cats at my apartment complex.

    The Pumpkins' best imitation of the Beatles. Love it.

    the world is a vampyre and Billy Corgan is a *pure genious* ... he makes me wanna put down my synth and pick up a guitar ... Simply one of *the* most brilliant beings on the planet ... and certainly *applaudingly so* "a creature of the night* ... sighs & faints ...

    This one reminds me of Today sort of; a happy sounding song with very sad lyrics. I think a lot of people stop at the title of the song and just take the whole thing at face value.

    The very beginning of this song always makes me think of A Clockwork Orange for some reason....
