#TheSmashingPumpkins #Perfect #Remastered - Hudba
So a little story about that brief concert scene starting at 2:14. I was living in Los Angeles at the time, and had been obsessed with the Pumpkins ever since Siamese Dream was released. As luck would have it, I must have been listening to the radio (KROQ) at the right time because they announced that the Pumpkins would be recording a video and that all you needed to do was line up at a certain address. This is before social media of course. So the next thing I know, I was there with a friend of mine -- it was one of those old abandoned buildings in Hollywood that once must have been magnificent but now was falling into disrepair. They let in the first however many people in that line, and we happened to be among of those. And let me tell you, the next two hours were incredible. There was some waiting around in this industrial-type room, packed tight with fans, with just a stage on it. Then the Pumpkins took the stage and they didn't just play Perfect -- in fact, they may not even have played Perfect at all. Instead, they performed an entire impromptu concert of all their hits from Gish and Siamese Dream. They must have been playing for at least an hour, totally rocking out, and we were all so close them. The energy was incredible and it was so intimate, so powerful. You can see how low the ceiling was in that room, I'm sure it was hot as hell too. Now, I can't see myself in the scene in the video, but I was there. It's an example of how, at least back then, the Pumpkins just loved playing music for playing's sake, and giving back to their fans. Same thing with their concerts, when they would do encores that lasted an hour. Here, they could have just showed up for five minutes and gotten the footage they needed, but no, they treated their fans to special, secret concert and a memory for a lifetime. Here's to Billy, James, D'arcy, and Jimmy. True class and genius.
What a great story. And thank you 🙏 KROQ for all the great memories. From the 80’s, the 90’s and the 2000’s
That abandoned building was formerly a legendary 70s punk rock venue called The Masque, if you didn't know
@@samwindmill8264 I had no idea (or else i forgot). Thanks for that!
Thanks for sharing dude. That's an incredible story.
Lucky bastard. And to live in LA back then too.
Billy is such a skinny legend on this video, that jawline can cut glass
And the Hat! Like a goth rock cowboy riding a twenty-story tall steel horse.
Gives me twink vibes
That's cuz they were on Heroin
I can relate. I miss my jawline as well. Aging sucks. But not everyone is a bad ass in their youth.
@@powerfulpropertysolutionsw4384 its over.
30 years from now, you'll be missing the now. Never stop living. Kickass everyday!
You are right
Well said.
I gotta say, this has become my favorite Smashing Pumpkins song. It just fills me with a wave of nostalgia for adolescence and more importantly, that I have done so much more in life than I think I have.
well said!
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
I arrived at the exact same place this week. This is a miracle of a song.
I concur 🎸🏴
Same vibe and similar structure of 1979 but i prefer this one honestly.
I miss these days so much it hurts! I just loved how we would zap on the tv, watch MTV, with no worries besides doing homework and how to manage that school crush and SUDDENLY...BOOM! "Hey, that music video is awesome!". "Hey, it's that Pumpkin's new stuff". Then you would hit the record store, search for the album with that particular song. After hearing the whole stuff your heart would just melt. I miss you all, friends, loves, places and things. "Your home is here, within my heart".
+Aelius Antoninus hope your friends are out there still out there enjoying great music !! you'll always carry those memories with you !!
Lol you can still do all of that stuff
+Aelius Antoninus Today MTV seems to stand for Moron TV. While MTV has a lot of good shows, I do miss the true meaning of MTV, In a lot of way, I want MY MTV back.
Dude you did your homework??? hahaha j/k I miss all my 90's people too!!!!!!!! My true friends WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYyyyyyyYYYYyyYYYYyyYy
Aelius Antoninus that's depressing for me cuz I had to be born in to this shitty pop world
"So please, you always were so free..." Gets me every time 😢
This song literally reminds me that I'm alive sometimes. Whenever I'm feeling lost, fed up, nihilistic, etc. I listen to this song and am instantly filled with a rush of emotions that are indescribable. "Perfect" is an understatement
okay....
@@bigbay1159 these comments trying to be all intellectual always come off as so weird lol
Have Jesus in your life.
You'll never feel alone
@@cleangoblin2021👀😇💯 🙏🔥
I understand paul!
I honestly miss these days so much. Exactly, turning on MTV, with Smashing Pumpkins coming on. Or Foos, Pearl Jam, Nirvana. I just can't cope. Every time I hear their music I am just overwhelmed with emotion because the music was so genuine, so authentic, it had so many layers then. I keep hope that there will be bands like this in our time but I doubt it. At least we were around at a time when this music was at its peak and we got to experience it. Pfffft.
Yeah you’re fucking lucky
Same. Everything was on during that time. You could literally let the TV run all day. Nowadays we make playlists of what MTV used to be on a normal evening
We will have that again, once the age of stupidity is over. The woke crap, and even the addiction to social media has made everything pretty crap.
Amen, I was there too and lucky enough to experience it!
hey, just wanna tell you that i’m 17 and have been playing guitar with my brother, we met a guy and girl our age that play drums and bass. i’ve been working so hard devoting my life to music now and i promise you this generation will have great bands i have a feeling, and i hope to be in one of them. don’t fret we’re going to take over again and show this generation of brainwashed kids how it should be.
This song was playing when I first learned that my dad was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer. Sadly, he died less than 2 months later, which was this month. This song will always remind me of him. I wish things were 'perfect' again before his cancer and before having to work a full time job after college.
Cancer destroy everything ,
I hate cancer our storys so similar my pops died within 2 months '7 weeks after being diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma & luekimia 😩😭 i pray they arent in any more pain. I hate cancer
I condolences I lost my dad to lung cancer to & it was under a bad argument. 🌹🌹 🌹🌹 🌹
embersoftheabyss you could get an X-ray or other diagnostic test
1979 was playing when my mother was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. She thankfully survived but I still think of her when 1979 comes on. I’m sorry for your loss.
"We can't help but feel that something has been lost... Next time, I promise we'll be perfect." I'm glad you're happy, I'm glad I'm happy too. I'm sorry we don't belong together... but maybe next time, next life, I promise, we'll be perfect.
Life wasn't perfect back then and sure isn't now. But man, this song. This song will always be perfect 💯🖤
I randomly remember and really really miss this song. Those days 😔😢😢
I will always be proud of loving someone as much as I did... as myself. No pretensions, no masks; vulnerable and courageous. I was listening to this song when we found each other. I am listening to it now that we've lost each other. We were imperfect together. I wish both of us the love and life of our dreams.
How could I ever regret the great triumph of love?
I am so happy I can truly say I loved someone and love myself just as well.
beautiful, just what i needed tonight. sending love from one stranger to another ❤️
This song is so heavy, this heart can't even carry. Just can't hold the tears. a 100% Nostalgia.
Songs like this one make history in someone's life, and they define a night full of thoughts and wonders.
The 90's are perfect
This video is heart wrenching when you realize these are the same kids from the 1979 video.
yeah i noticed that too
Such a real fact that majes me feel old 😕
Not Only that, it was planned to do so, for the cabal iluminati that controls the music to make u believe that the status quo Is OK, just think about it
I didn't know that. Just checked. Thank you. It reminds me this great movie : dazed and confused.
@@centroholisticouniversal What?
My best friend died unexpectedly June 17th. This album and song were the first music to pop in my head. We wore this album out. “Angel, you know it’s not the end….”
My condolences. Stay strong!
Something I noticed:
It's said that "Perfect" is a sequel video to "1979", with the same characters who are now 2 years older, and the story visits the same convenience store that the kids trashed in 1979 with the same clerk working the counter. Both videos were filmed in CA in or near The Valley. However, the vehicle license plates in 1979 are all Illinois license plates, and the license plates in Perfect are all California license plates. Since the Pumpkins are from Chicago, I would have thought they would have kept the IL license plates in the Perfect video, but it might mean that it wasn't a specific thought in the 1979 video.
13th August 2019 now ..... I'm 48 and I'm still listening to these great songs.
I know we're just like old friends
We just can't pretend
That lovers make amends
We are reasons so unreal
We can't help but feel that something has been lost
But please you know you're just like me
Next time I promise we'll be perfect
Perfect
Perfect strangers down the line
Lovers out of time
Memories unwind
So far I still know who you are
But now I wonder who I was...
Angel, you know it's not the end
We'll always be good friends
But the letters have been sent on
So please, you always were so free
You'll see, I promise we'll be perfect
Perfect strangers when we meet
Strangers on the street
Lovers while we sleep
Perfect
You know this has to be
We always we're so free
We promised that we'd be
Perfect
Perfect
Perfect

thanks for the lyrics>>>>perfect

This music really makes me nostalgic. It's deep, and takes me to distant places in my memory from when I was younger. A time passed; something nobody else can feel or replicate. Indescribable.
*This* feeling
I love this song and have just now witnessed the video - sublime. 👍
Nic Foster bahahHahahah
You're not alone, we're two!
Says DeezNuts lol
This album is a masterpiece. Among others. That’s how awesome they are.
It's pretty interesting. So I think Adore was the album that sold only a million compared to Mellon collie which was like 10 plus million. Adore I believe was when their popularity went down hill. But today on Spotify Adore is the 3rd most listened to of all their albums....underneath siamese dream and Mellon collie....shows how ahead of the curb they were.
This song takes me back to the greatest time in my life, deeply in love and raising our two small children. It did not end well but we are still friends. Over the years we have talked and we still wonder how it ended so badly. We used to say how we were perfect for each other, we were to young.
The album Adore is one of the most underrated albums ever. The flow is perfect, there's not a single filler song, the production is astonishing, and it's mind blowingly original. Who else had infused Gothic Rock, Electronica, and Jazz? Nobody that's who. With songs like To Shelia, Ava Adore, Perfect, Crestfallen, For Martha, Dusty And Pistol Pete, Shame, Blank Page, Tear, and and Annie Dog who could turn the noses up the beautiful Gothic Noire album? Most people unfortunately.
It was just such a departure from their other stuff that people were caught off-guard (myself included). I've like the sounds more listening back to them. Pug may be my favorite on the album.
dan n Yeah, I see what you mean, but it still sounded very Smashing Pumpkins. My favorite is For Martha.
I started listening to SP in '07 after I heard 1979 on GTA IV during my freshman year. By the time I was a junior I was neck deep in Machina II and in love with Home and Real Love. After all these years Adore is one of the only albums, along with Siamese Dream, that SP made where I can listen to it front to back. Daphne Descends is beautiful, Shame is sorrowful and rather depressing, and Perfect reminds me that life can be worth living - even if all we can do is naively grasp at an idealized version of the past for some respite from our suffering. I agree 100%, Adore is unjustly bashed by those within and without the fandom. But fuck 'em. For most if them if it isn't MCIS or SD then they don't listen. So who cares what fits their limited taste?
I love the album and also believe its underrated but there's definitely some filler on it towards the end..
I think it’s one of the first albums where I’ve heard electronic drum track with real drums.
Sounds like a strange concept, yet it works.
This song will forever, remind us of the good ol’ days🥹 the loved ones we once thought, we’d grow old with.. truly unforgettable times in life. How I wish I could time travel 😞
90's kid one of may favorite song while driving home after work
The cassette tape falling off the car roof is a homage to the original 1979 video master tapes falling off the roof of the directors cars. They had to reshoot the entire video and what we have now was the remake. I wonder to this day if someone found those old film reels and has them stashed somewhere...
I wonder that, too.
Probably an old woman who played it on her VCR, thought it was Devil Music, and burned while prayed to jelly bean man that Cthulhu didn't rise up and kill us all.
damn son you edgy
I love mysteries...that totally sucks they had to reshoot everything. Did they end up making many changes to the video?
creekandseminole it was only the party scene
those were the 90s! the best time has there ever been!
Such a unique voice. Such unique guitar. I love this whole album is gold. Wish they never broke up
Greetings I share the cover I made of this song, I hope you like it and support my channel thanks 😊

This one of my favourite songs
I know all about growing apart from your friends. Oh the good times we used to have. I miss it so bad. now I have hardly any friends that I still have fun with
So dreamy. Take me back..
+Adelle Ramcharan Such a great song.
+Adelle Ramcharan miss th 90´s so much :/
Arch S. I knooowww :)
Do we even keep track of the eras like we did in the 1900's?
Keith D.K.
I keep track of the 80's alot.
I really got into TSP about 2 years ago and I really fell in love with the whole Adore album especially this song around the start the beginning of my sophomore year last year when I met my best friend and we would ride around listening to Perfect and she passed away a little while ago and I can't help but cry every time I hear this song thinking of all the times we had and how she won't be here to go with me to their concert at the end of this year.
"Angel, you know it's not the end.... we'll always be good friends..."
Exactly .
:)
:,C
Leonidas Riverson think it's about Courtney love
Nat P More likely her ex-wife, Adore was mainly inspired from Billy's recent (at the time) divorce and other events... or maybe yes, it's about Courtney, or maybe someone else. These misteries make music wonderful, we can never know what an author was exactly thinking while writing his lyrics... just think of all the stuff we don't know about his personal life
to me the lyrics are a couple who had something serious but something changed, and they aren't together but try to be friends but that doesn't work and they fall away from each other. They both want it to come back but neither can make it happen. So when they see each other they seem like strangers to each other, but in their dreams they are still together.
pretty much agree Ian: I'm thinking it's about people that broke up ....but he's speaking of a theoretical future in which it will work out, because it should have worked out ..... Next time they'll be different and better and be perfect. (which will never happen) This makes perfect sense to me because it's how I feel about an ex. Fuck this song (amazing tho)
Possibly written about Courtney Love if you read up on their history
Hes just talking about the dream every couple has when they leave their love to decide for the future... Beautiful!
amazing , you described my relationship with my ex .
this is about so much more than just a relationship. its the shifting perspective you have on your life as you grow up and die
Glad to see that it's not only me who feels overbearing nostalgia for 90s (times of my childhood) thanks to this band :)
Adore still remains the PERFECT Smashing Pumpkins album.
Pretty weak album
As a 90's kid I grew up listening to these kind of music, I remember playing them on a walkman and have the struggle to rewind or forward the tape just to get the song I wanted. Too much feeeeels. :(
This video is so sad and so good.
You can have a Perfect relationship with a person even tough you don't like each other in the same way. It's hard to accept and it can break your heart at the beginning. However in order to be liked by someone you have got to be yourself and this way to live will help you feel better and it will improve the relationship. Being a deep person in the 21st century is hard but it's better than use people just for your stuff losing interest when he/she's in trouble. I dedicate this comment to all people who have suffered from depression and that think they're rejected every day like me. I'll promise we'll be Perfect, one day.
Im crying when this song starts playing
I was searching for this song for a decade and I've finally found out it was a smashing pumpkins song.god damn it.
This song makes me miss going to Blockbuster with my friends on Friday nights.
that almost brought me to tears
Owen Simpson
That did bring me to tears.
I would agree with that but i don't have friends
ha¡ we can still do that in mexico
No:(
Love ❤️ This song ! Anyone here 2022 ? 👍
I was a kid in the 80's teen in the 90's omg What else can I want, Enjoyed the best music in history.....
probably the best band I've ever seen live. I feel sorry for anyone who hasn't witnessed them live. just breathtaking
agreed. Saw them a couple months back and it was an amazing experience. Just as good live as they are recorded which is RARE.
This song tears me up, their music is beautiful.
Even though we're hours apart and aren't as close anymore, I miss being by your side with every inch of my being Kasey
Pumpkins were responsible for some of the best songwriting in music's history.
it never gets old...
miss ya Annette
The 90's was not only the last great decade of music but also the last great decade to grow up in cell phones and social media ruined everything so glad I was born in 81.
Ignorant comment right here I don't care if it's a year old
@@alexgonzalez2195 It's just my opinion you don't have to agree.
@@ToeTag9899 I don't agree but your right my bad
@@alexgonzalez2195 No problem.
it's so true
My cat loves this song, he says it's purrfect! 🐱
I'm stuck in the 90's. Best time ever.
This song really hurts. Gives me a kind of nostalgic feeling, like all the painful memories are coming back. 💔💔
This was their most underrated single. Love this song..
The most haunting and affecting of all their songs i feel
I cannot articulate the emotions i feel from this wutsoever
Its not happy or sad its scattered somewhere light years in between the two polarities
I feel alone in this .
Totally understand, I feel the same way. It's strange isn't it...?
Great Concert. God I miss the 90's.. Music never be like it was during that era.
I remember watching this video on MTV for the first time. That's how I discovered the Pumpkins and fell in love with their music.
Was born in 1979 and I love that song as much as I love Smashing Pumpkins. I'm 41, its December 2020 post lockdown but now they're talking about another lockdown since COVID spike going on. I miss the 90s so much, 2020 sucks but everything happens for a reason. Everything is different, life is not the same when you have to wear a stupid face mask outside.
Don't know where I am going with this rant but much as I love this song, it seems like everything is far from perfect this year. Much love to everyone still alive now listening to this perfect song💖💖💖💖💖💗🙏🏽
I moved to Toluca,Mexico in 98 the memories Por vida ❤
Everytime i listen to 90s music i am reading the comments while listening to it with a smile on my face...Yeah i am not alone....90s where are you?
Halloiw
The 90s live on inside of those who experienced them
Still love this song it's awesome
One of the most non sounding smashing pumpkins songs ever turns out to be one the best smashing pumpkins songs ever. Story of their lives
Simpler times and great music. Damn, I miss those days.
Hi I recommend a song called 'The Bond Villain' By Robert Nix
I used to listen to this song pretty much every day on my early morning subway commute to highschool in NYC when I was a freshman. Brings back so many memories of a different time. The nostalgia this band has to me is crazy
This song takes me back to being naive and in wonderment as a kid from the 90s. Never heard this song ever in my life until a few weeks ago. Really amazing song.
Who listens to this during quarantine period.
No perfect world indeed.
Have a great day still.
Well, being by myself is perfect but loneliness is isn't.

One of the best music videos i’ve ever seen for one of the most special songs i’ve ever heard. Will always return to the Pumpkins
Hi I recommend a song and video called 'looking into the mirror' By Robert Nix
@@redskies4530thank you, I will check it out
This song was a time and place for me. Long before I found out there was a video. Love it.
This song is perfect 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Once in a great while an artist writes a song that is timeless.
WPC has written quite a few of those.
the style..the love...the 90´s....the sound...PERFECT!
This song is pure perfection - oh man , i miss the 90´s ! :(
Damn, the memories...
I used to listen to this song a lot as a young kid in the 90s during road trips since my elder sisters were big fans of Smashing Pumpkins. I suddenly feel old lol.
I was born in the 2000s but this makes me miss the 90s somehow
Hunter .K me too it’s weird 😂
The 90s and early 2000s were exactly the same
@@ashton6478 sorry no
Chronologically perhaps
@@ashton6478 bro just saying that shows you weren't there...
one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard and my all time favorite song.
I remember recording this song onto a cassette via my stereo back in the day. 98 rock in sac played it. Amazing song. Wish I still had the cassette.
que buen tema perfect me recuerda mis tiempos de veinteañero me encantaba esta pieza y hasta la fecha me facina al igual que muchas de smashing pumkins
2:15 If anyone wondering why he has a tape recorder in a night club. That was how you bootlegged' new music by going to a show in the 90s and tape recording it, then selling it to your friends.
Makes me feel like I'm back in the old neighborhood I grew up in. All of us playing street hockey, building things in the woods, and hanging out in someone's bedroom listening to all the new music together as soon as it came out.
Beautiful song and film clip with all the individuals lives interwoven with each other in some flawed way, reminding us that we are all flawed as are our decisions and actions, but one day, next time, it will all be perfect...
Billys voice is all I need. Just his is sufficient. How poetic and very genuine. I love it
Omg I haven't listened to this song in so long, I forgot how much I love it
This song just take me back what s good time i miss love it!! Im 37 know 😊
This song is everything
2021 , and I´m still getting back to watch this master piece.
This song is so Perfect
This video is amazing. Just everything about it. The story, the ideas, the editing, the fact that it's a follow up to 1979 and it still makes sense.
I guess I should have said it's a "perfect" music video :)
Long live the Smashing Pumpkins.
@@rumplestiltskinn imwo the "good guy" in the suit with the baby goes to change out videos while his wife? finds out she's pregnant by the pizza delivery thief guy and tells him, so he goes out and on his way back he passes and distracts the baby daddy while running from the police, and mr family man dies while the guy who was looking to meet up with the party chick to listen to the band play disconnects with her because the note fell off the door and was stepped on my mr pizza and taken away. I could say this better.. it looks like it's saying the guy who didnt give a shit, mr pizza thelema is the one who makes it through.
the music is great. the videos are awsesome too. this video is human...
Masterpiece
Music and Wrestling were the best during these days.
Billy Corgan will always put a smile to my face when i'm feeling a little low
I was at that rock concert in that basement in downtown Los Angeles, California. What an amazing experience!
❤SP for life
That song was in a cassete tape my first boyfriend gave me as present. 1999, I was 16 he was 15. At that time I didn't care to understand the meaning of the song... after year I've read and uderstood the lyrics...that was just our story, our teenage story, so short, so exciting, so pure and unperfect. So, Corrado, next time, I promise we'll be perfect ;).
My god. The editing in this music video is so good with all those clever scene transitions!
I can't get through this without a tear and heartbreak
Perfect in 2020
I feel you bro
The most underrated pumpkins song ever
