Track 15 from "Judas O", a B-sides compilation album.
Lyrics:
The words flow, decisions made
Idea's mine, but the inspiration not
Dreams of hangers on, dreams of getting well
Spells of ezmerelda, emeralds foretold
Splinters in the eye, sentiments remain
Bones are never asked, where we going to
It was never up to me, and yet I pushed until it broke
I love the open road and all that it suggests
Wheel wagon dust, weeds and infidelities and
Always saw her alone, never questioned why,
In a wooden house immoveable and silent and
Drinking strawberry wine, forever lost in town
And thru the sleeping streets night bound and heavy
Wheels in a spoke, just a spoken foreign sound
Now my gates are high, my friends even higher
Forgotten in my mind, yet the skies still linger and
Clouds of blue skies, I'm jealous of you birds
Was the only truth in a world full of words?
Hear the prairie sound in a friend called nil
The heart is pointed down but my spirit pointed up
His voice the siren of greek mythology
I pause with my pen I begin to defend
Every action taken, every moment sealed
When I was quick, it coursed through open veins
The will to live, the urgency to move
Behind a panel door, sealing cherry stained
I played my guitar and lived those lonesome notes
Like a dog that's down
In a corner just a sigh
Waiting to be called
Waiting to be yours
Go survive my shame
Without purpose or will
I often speak of you, but the you is always me
Cause when I speak of me, it's me I ask of you
So let there be no truth, just trickery in rhymes
Time the only thing, waiting still as death
I hope for resolution, pray one defining moment
Pause without restrain, barren without child
A child is who I was, a child is who I'll die
Soot in my hair
And stars in my hands
Soot in my hair
And stars in my hands
Soot in my hair
And stars in my hands
I love this song and had it on my Spotify playlist until it was taken off Spotify. Now I blast this on my tv and lay on my bed staring at the ceiling. Thank you
Glad I'm not the only one
I was exactly doing that right now :)
Did they take Judas O off Streaming Services? Why?
also happened to me, but on deezer :(
Just went looking for it and see it's not there. Damn!
This sounds so old-timey and beautiful. What a gorgeously melancholic sound this song has.
I know. I love so many of these rare or unreleased songs that Billy came up with but never made it onto albums.
"Sparrow" and "Blissed and Gone" are good too.
I like when Billy writes sad stuff lol
@@jayvee5686 Exactly. He's great at writing the songs with a sad feel.
Well put

That's the way I talk. Lol
I love all the SP songs that take you to "pumpkinland" and it doesn't get more pumpkinland than this

I like that a lot and I get you!
I got this album for Christmas as a teenager. I associate this song with reading The Two Towers while it was snowing. I could see a blue light inside a church across the street through the frosty window.
So many songs are also associated to many visuals in my memory! I used to listen to "Snail" as a teenager during snowy winter days
That's an awesome memory... I don't get to see the snow anymore where I live. It used to snow frequently, now it's just a distant memory of my childhood...
I too listened to pumpkins like there was no tomorrow throughout my teenage years. Their sound still conjures a sacrosanct saudade and immaculately nostalgic catharsis. Swallows me whole like a wall cloud closing in - every time. Your description of the blue wintery church glow is one I have as well - beyond the depths. 👁👅👁
:: Sry I was extremely baked 😂 but I still stand by my words 🎉
Billy's vocals in this song are godly. You can literally hear the emotion through the screen
One of his BEST.
this is so beautiful. last night I threw this cd in on a long drive, I found this track for the first time. The great sadness of it is amazing on a dark long highway with these intense ideas and thoughts coming in. Billy Corgan is a pure genius a sad genius..
I had exactly this experience in 2007 on my first road trip to the city where I now live, and I’ve never forgotten that moment. “Drinking strawberry wine…”
It's crazy how strong some of the Pumpkins b-sides are. Been trying to remember the title of this one for the longest time, chanks for uploading it.
Could I immerse myself in the scenery of this song. It speaks about my soul and the love that sunk and embedded itself inside the roots of my identity. Where I have become trapped and unknowing of my surroundings, and where I have "dreams of getting well." With all these... "soot and stars", I have come to reluctantly accept the faint touches of my child.
a decade ago around this time, maybe exactly, i would ride around late night in a chrysler sebring top down smoking a blunt solo “a child is who i was, a child is who i’ll die”
The beauty of riding a car into the night with the right melodies is priceless.
Different car, same story
This will always be one of my absolute favorite songs by Billy Corgan
favorite pumpkins song. its all about the poetry.
this is the song I chose for our wedding during walking down the aisle
U ok bro?
It'd be a long walk...
still married bro @@GrantValdes 10 year anniversary this year lol
That’s fucking epic
No one asked
So heavy and yet so immensely beautiful.
The nostalgia burns deep on this one
Found this sound christmas morning circa 2001. I woke up early, not excited about presents but afraid another year had passed and I still didn't know what I wanted to do with my life. High school was half over and I was barreling towards adulthood. This song perfectly captured that teenage feeling of being lost in the deep of your mind, drowning inches from the surface. Somehow though, this song made me always feel ok with it. Which is when I found out I suffered from the call of the void.
fuck man you literally just described my situation rn. this is my last year at school and im so fucked
This is one of the best songs
So annoying this isn't on streaming services as it's my favourite SP song, but it used to be on them I'm 98% certain? Thank you this video so I can get my monthly fix.
I used to own it physically too but after a few house moves in short succession my CD collection was trashed, lost, abandoned for streaming, and the B-sides disc from the greatest hits was lost as well.
What a song!
I remember the first time someone played this for me I've been a long standing pumpkins fan and I never listened to this one untill 2017 .
an elderly woman who worked as a music teacher taught me how to play this on the piano while I was being her care giver. So I haven't tried playing it yet I'll try again I suppose 😢
My all time favorite smashing pumpkins song. This song hits the soul.
Breaks my heart this was taken off Spotify, love this and Sparrow, so underrated.
I love this track. This kid has a way with words...
Forever later and I can still listen to this on repeat. ❤️
During a particularly difficult time in my life, this song used to soothe my soul, and I love it for that even now.
I often speak of you, but the you is always me
Cause when I speak of me, it's me I ask of you.
Amen
I don't know what it is about this song that I love so much. I'm not really identified with the lyrics, but somehow just the overall feel of the music and lyrics means something. It's melancholic and smooth, yet with hope.
Dreams of getting well…
Soo haunting, I saw them at Wembley arena in 2000, Sacred and Profane farewell tour. Wish I could go back in time, it all goes so damn fast
this is such an amazing song
I love this song. It reminds me of a friend that passed away, and I didn't find out for about 2 years after. I was so hurt. I would listen to this song on repeat for days and cried. Now it's a bittersweet feeling when I listen to it.
Classic and timeless!
Who could dislike this? I'm sorry for those 3 fellows.
This one gets to me sometimes, if you're in a reflective mood ❤
I wish he still sang like this on albums… love the new stuff but this I miss so much in my heart!
People change, voices change, nothing lasts forever. You either go with it or you don't. I struggle to like any of the new stuff, the personal 'it' factor that made me a lifelong fan just isn't there any more, sadly. Something undefinable changed at some point. At least I've got a back catalogue of hundreds of excellent songs to enjoy...
@@SadPeterPan1977 yeah I don’t really love the new stuff like I love the old stuff. Barely, at all
Song is an alternative view of the Industrial Revolution
this song helps me everyday
This song makes me feel so sad
honestly even after reading the lyrics i’m still not sure what they mean, but it’s so beautifully sad
What a beautiful song.
This songs takes me back driving to the airport to catch a plane at 6am. Lone qnd dark road.
Since the first show at the Palladium for Siamese Dream thrue the Hollywood Bowl show last Nov, it was always the song writing. Some songs like this or Sparrow or Wasting Time or Behold the Nightmare haunt me..
love this song
Beautiful behind words and concepts...
Thank you very much for uploading this! I can't tell you how long I've been wondering where I could find this song. A true rarity!
Anyone else remember the video a fan made for this song with clips from “man with a movie camera”? It was beautiful, a shame it was taken down
1999 - 2001 Me driving down a highway
Triped out crazy!love it!sounds beautiful!on my smart phone!
“Soot in my hair and stars in my hands” 😭
Love that haunting piano.
REM SP APC 84, 88, and 2000 Top 3 bands of then. The future sucked. Still these 3 bands the best. Sad
apc?
A perfect Circle
@@siamesedreamSP oh shit james iha was in that band
Makes me just reflect ...
hell of a song
Billy is deep
Love the sound
Oh this brought me to the brink on several occasions...dont drink and listen lol
Word
I recall several drunken depressive trudges through this masterful dirge during college. Back when depression was kind of fun in a melodramatic way.
Apotheosis in his God Complex
Solipsist, larger than T-Rex
He never reveals faults to you
Atychiphobia, failure never new
Sang-froid covers his blood red heart
Abstruse patterns, when did this start
Wallows as he hollows, shallow
Contemplates, while she doesn’t follow
Couldn’t continue in his specious mind
Ends life, caught in a slivered wind

**btw lyric correction, it's "a friend called Neil" as in Neil Young

Which album is this from?
On spotify it was on "rarities and b-sides" but it was taken off :(
Also says in the description! Says it is from "Judas O"
Adore outtake first released on Judas O, which was MCIS, Adore and Machina era outtakes collected as the B-side to the 2001 greatest hits CD. It's tracklisted perfectly and really works as an album.
I dont know i enjoy the words, just wish this song had more to it.
abc cba?
Duuude. Lyrics are all off.
What do you mean? Lyrics are exactly as they were when this was first released
@@anthonyelias6508they were kind of off, however we don't have official lyrics.
