The Smashing Pumpkins are without a doubt my favorite band. Billy Corgan is such a musical genius that it's mind-blowing. The greatest thing about all their songs is that you can never truly know what they're about - sometimes not even have the slightest guess to offer in that direction. But still, you can feel that it makes sense. Billy's songs convey pure emotions, and he does it so beautifully with words that blend and flow perfectly - you can never take them at face value, either. This is one of the most straight-forward Pumpkins songs, but it's still amazingly beautiful in its starkness.
