      Same. The album cover ironically looks eerily similar to a remodeled version of my childhood friend Boris’ grandfather’s handmade fort they kept in their backyard😎

    Violet Rays is amazing as is this whole album. The Pumpkins are one of, if not the best alternative rock bands of all time, and one of the biggest influences of a music generation. Corgan is a musical and lyrical genius and continues to show it. This song sends quivers up my spine. Heading to Boston tonight to see them for the second time this year, and gajillionth time in my life. Can't wait, they never let me down.

      I have found that I have started to prefer this newer music of theirs, of his. Like maybe the old music is for those old feelings, those old memories and this is for now. Its not better per se, but its amazing and it speaks to me, not the man or boy I was.

    Faithless moors
    Pulling up your oars
    From rivers I have crossed
    In magic no heart's lost
    And I'll leave with anyone this night
    And I'll kiss anyone tonight
    Am I the only one you see?
    Raised from the path of revelry
    Spells fall frail
    Webs catching sail
    In eternal eternities
    Divine purpose catching free
    And I'll leave with anyone this night
    And I'll kiss anyone tonight
    Am I the only one you see?
    Seized from the wrath of revelry
    Am I the only one you see?
    Does love matter when loves the actor
    For what you are after is me
    Babe, don't leave me, please believe me
    'Cause I'm so easy to know
    Am I the only one you see?
    Raised from the path of revelry
    Am I the only one you see?

    Does anyone else agree if this album had two classic artsy pumpkins music videos for Panopticon and The Celestials this would have had a lot more success in this day and age of music and the internet? I'm literally shocked this didn't become a massive hit album. I reckon maybe Billy lost a lot of his fans for being too outspoken and also the musical landscape in the mainstream has changed so much. But I'm surprised it' didn't find a new audience. if this album was released in the late 90s, or was released before zeitgeist it would have been more successful

    • @DarkRendarius
      @DarkRendarius Před 6 lety +6

      I think its more the change in times and current musical trends.... And the major factor of his largest number of fans being unaware of the release.... due to family, work, and al the BS life has us dealing with, and prevents many from knowing, searching, or caring about their old music and love of it.... = (
      Ive gone through periods like this myself, and I am a musician...
      Im SO DAMN glad I was doing whatever I needed to be doing to be aware of this album an Billy still writing and releasing music...
      But Im sure you are right too and he might have lost fans, but Id assume its a smaller number than those that are just lost in their lives and other commitments for their time, and focus.... ts kinda sad honestly... Life and what it entails for most....

    Billy is a challenging artist. When Zwan came out, I remember thinking, "We went from Machina to this?" But I eventually saw the value of it. Same with the futureembrace. He makes you work but we're rewarded as music lovers. And this song gives me chills.

  • @IanZebalese
    @IanZebalese Před 12 lety +2

    Billy is so comfortable with his faults, and his mistakes his true feelings come through and he does not care what you think, Thats why his music touches us. He is an inspiration and one of the true musician's still left!
    Thank You, Billy for reminding me why I write and play.

    They play here in Chicago this Sunday at the All State Arena. Billy Corgan grew up in Woodridge, IL same neighborhood my childhood friend grew up in. Im proud of that boy..... I remember riding down the highway on the way to my bands first live performance..and randomly a pumpkins song came on and i remember thinking "this moment couldnt be more perfect"
    FUCK THE HATERS!!!! GO SPUMPKINS!!!!

    glad to see a return to the old album format. i can press play and zone out for an hour or do the ironing or whatever. an album of songs give strength to each other by creating an overall feeling and give a soundtrack to remind you of that part of your life when you fell in love with it. when i listen to this album in a few years it will remind me of when i got my first dog used to play fetch with him in the garden in the summer of 2012. great days+great album=vivid memories
