This is proof that Billy doesn't need anyone but himself to be the pumpkins but.....James and Chamberlain can only help him soar farther thats for sure
This turned out being my favorite song from them, but any idea wtf he is singing about? Seems like random nonsense thrown in to sound more sophisticated than it really is.
On the day that you were born They built an empire off a scream I can't explain Endlessly they'll set you free Give you reason to believe This empty place I may seem unafraid And I may seem unashamed But I will be special k Never let the summer catch you down Never let your thoughts run free Even when their numbers draw you out Everything I want is free 'Til the end 'Til the end 'Til the end I'm gonna love you 101 percent I'm gonna love you 'til this ends Take a chance if you should go Face upon your happy home The scanners wait Selfishly they might concede You were always on your own You can't escape I may seem unafraid And I may seem unashamed But I will be special k Never let the summer catch you down Never let your thoughts run free Even when their numbers draw you out Everything I want is free You're not me and never ever will you ever be I'm gonna find you and never run against I'm gonna find you 'til the end 'Til the end 'Til the end Never let the summer catch you down Never let your thoughts run free Even when their numbers call you out Everything I want is free Free you're free with me You're free with me
I'd say because Pop Culture sucks and because at the time it was after Zeitgeist which was mediocre for Billy Corgan failed and than he started to complain and lost more of his fan base. This album turned out to be an Independent Gem when it was released. Plus no music video!!?
Just saw them live and it's one of the best live shows EVER. I LOVE SP & BILLY writes soooo many great songs that flow like water across my soul musically and lyrically.
The cereal is great. Special K is my nickname and I associate it with the cereal. There is a drug by that name? lol Forgive my niavety but, have not heard of that .
Such beautiful music. I absolutely adore Billy and the Smashing Pumpkins 💘 I seen them on Guitar Center Session and they stole my heart. Brilliant, amazing, and surreal. Billy did an awesome job and I hope that they continue on this wonderful journey and produce more amazing music.
+luitenant22 leaving out Chamberlain and saying Billy was 100% shows a deep lack of knowledge on OP part. In fact Billy would most likely call the comment disrespectful and ludicrous, he loves Jimmy and recognizes his insane talent and contribution. Iha he'll give the finger to.
Adding my agreement that this is one of Pumpkins nicest from my personal taste point of view. Haven't had a listen to them since their early 'Cherub' song album so it's good they can still make some melodic guitar style of stuff and didn't go too far in other directions which I wouldn't have liked.
Whoever said MCIS was bloated was 100% dead on. I cant listen to it at all bc the flow of songs is disjointed plus you have to drudge thru 2-3 bad songs before you hit pay dirt. So was Machina and Ave Adore....bad albums that served as Corgan's musical agenda. Not that I want 5 Siamese Dreams but albums that retain some reference to their roots. Zeitgeist is underrated and I'm not sure why.... Butch Vig should've been at the helm.
Well, there ARE a few less than awesome songs on MCIS in between the absolute masterpieces. That's the reason I only listen to my playlist of that album. I don't know why OP's statement is shocking to you guys but I think most would agree if they're being honest and objective. The rest of what was said I don't agree with at all though. Anything between Adore and Oceania is shit IMHO, that's why this album is such a good comeback. Elegy was meh and the latest is fairly cool but it has nothing on this.
Adore is a very good album, very different a siamese dream but with incredible songs, For Martha, daphne descends, apples and oranges, perfect ,blank page, pug, the pistol pete.......
The irony of a great song like this is the irony of a mountain: The taller it is, the narrower the peak, and the fewer people can reach it. So few will ever know this song. :(
Very extremely true. I was a huge pumpkins fan in the 90's and even saw them live. Didn't even know they were still around and happily by accident found this song and am dumbfounded!
This sounds just as good as anything off of Mellon Collie, and that is one of the best compliments one can give. This album blew my expectations away..never question Billy Corgan when he's using the name Smashing Pumpkins!!
btw, the whole thing "you should do something new" is completely bullshit. The result is usually pointless try. Notes don´t care what year or fashion it is
As Billy says himself, it's only about the top 5% percent that sells records at that specific time. It's not about Niech artists that don't care what the 14 year olds listen to or what you listen to for that matter. Those who really express themselves freely... you know... like Billy?
you don't have to make mindless mainstream shit. You have to pretend to sing for someone who hires someone else to write mindless mainstream shit. Then another person records it and auto tunes it so it sounds like like you are singing mindless mainstream shit. In reality, all you have to do is sing mindless mainstream shit out of tune.
Don't take awards nowadays seriously. I love music/films, and watch/listen everyday, but have never watched a single award event in my life. Most people that watch them aren't true fans of film/music.
This is weird: I went to middle school and high school with Mike Byrne, the drummer. One time, he lent me "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" in jazz combos so I could burn it. So cool...

Imagine if he made a music video for this it would be so amazing!
On the day that you were born
They built an empire off a scream
I can't explain
Endlessly they'll set you free
Give you reason to believe
This empty place
I may seem unafraid
And I may seem unashamed
But I will be special k
Never let the summer catch you down
Never let your thoughts run free
Even when their numbers draw you out
Everything I want is free
'Til the end
'Til the end
'Til the end
I'm gonna love you 101 percent
I'm gonna love you 'til this ends
Take a chance if you should go
Face upon your happy home
The scanners wait
Selfishly they might concede
You were always on your own
You can't escape
I may seem unafraid
And I may seem unashamed
But I will be special k
Never let the summer catch you down
Never let your thoughts run free
Even when their numbers draw you out
Everything I want is free
You're not me and never ever will you ever be
I'm gonna find you and never run against
I'm gonna find you 'til the end
'Til the end
'Til the end
Never let the summer catch you down
Never let your thoughts run free
Even when their numbers call you out
Everything I want is free
Free you're free with me
You're free with me
101 % great!
Wow. I love you Billy
This song is great
your 🆓
Can no one else hear Polly???
It's shocking how good this is and how bad Solara is. Weirdly disappointing that song is.
Solara grows on you after a few listens. Having said that, I prefer this song.
>names album Oceania
>names songs The Celestials and Panopticon
we get it you listen to Isis
Ah ah so true!
I love this song! 😍👏👏👏
It's hard to imagine you can escape through a person
This is what I have always hoped a XXI century TSM will sound like...
Loved SP, loving it and always will !
This album was absolutely dreadful
Mooky Blaylock no
How can someone dislike this??
This song is SO DAMN GOOD!!! Billy Corgan is unbelievably talented.
i think this was a return to form for The pumpkins much more varied and interesting than their offerings after Mellon Collie
More varied and interesting? You truly are a fucking idiot.
0:07 On the day trump won xD
•!苦しむ lame
how is this band not insanely famous anymore?
+primo primo fuck off asshole
cause its al about billy . pretentious ass

I LOVE SP & BILLY writes soooo many great songs that flow like water across my soul musically and lyrically.
kraal 42 cuz ppl like shit like ariana grande, taylor swift and twerking and eating tide pods instead
Now this is Pumpkins...this is a good song.
One of their best
This is a disgrace on the sp name
Love this song sounds to me like Billy's talking about how people in the music industry are controlled read the lyrics they're really good
Best song on this album, as good as any of their best songs.
But I will be Special K!
this song remind me polly of nirvana
Geovanni Pérez I remember that Billy was once asked, which song he would've liked to write and he said: Polly
*"Free, you're free with me..."*
Lets marry
Let's make love
+Fer N Let's smoke weed
My celestial 💖
Free Free youre free.. with me
You are free.. with me me encanta esta cancion :') saludos desde Perú
S.P. the best!
amazing album after all these years!!
lol right? well now its like 7 or so...
All these years!!??? Like all five of them?
kadimine meow
His voice is better now than 20 years ago! His voice was too screechy back in the 90's
Im gonna love you 101%..Im gonna love you till this ends...love you Billy..
Love this song.
Out of all the sea of fake and un challenging music this album really good.
God job Smashing pumpkins !
Good song.
Layered richly. I love it. Good job, Billy!
special k is a good cereal... haven't tried the drug yet
Yes, and I am. ;)
+wildboy789789 Have you ever tried Special K? lol
No worries, my love . Not my thing....Now a mojito ? Thank you .. Sir Wildboy. :D
+ColbaltChaos ya special k is also know as ketamine, its a horse tranquilizer... don't ever try it, its heroine times 10 basically
The cereal is great. Special K is my nickname and I associate it with the cereal. There is a drug by that name? lol Forgive my niavety but, have not heard of that .
isn't that a drug? mmm special K...thx Billy
till the end
Amazing....
i love this album so much
The Smashing Pumpkins modern day classic!
Yeah man, this song's gonna be a classic!!!
Still got it.
Heck yea buddy! Great song!
Hermoso
Such beautiful music. I absolutely adore Billy and the Smashing Pumpkins 💘 I seen them on Guitar Center Session and they stole my heart. Brilliant, amazing, and surreal. Billy did an awesome job and I hope that they continue on this wonderful journey and produce more amazing music.
Anyone who says this isn't as good as old pumpkins, Billy IS THE SMASHING PUMPKINS, he is 100 percent what makes them, and this is a fantastic album!
It's extremely solid considering the longevity. Very few bands can hang for 20 years and put out an album that's consistent with their peaks.
Billy makes the SP? You know nothing about this band and neither do plenty of the other posters.
Gave me a good chuckle
+andyouf Jimmy Chamberlain. What a legend. A myth living among mortals. One of the best
+luitenant22 leaving out Chamberlain and saying Billy was 100% shows a deep lack of knowledge on OP part. In fact Billy would most likely call the comment disrespectful and ludicrous, he loves Jimmy and recognizes his insane talent and contribution. Iha he'll give the finger to.

Phillip Tripolone .......kill your self
Bloated? Yet your album of choice is Zeitgiest? What a complete fucking joke and pathetic excuse of a so called fan.
Adore is a very good album, very different a siamese dream but with incredible songs, For Martha, daphne descends, apples and oranges, perfect ,blank page, pug, the pistol pete.......
+J.B. Burke love my nerd hair. much better than this horrible album

+Rémi Gauthier Maybe you should.
+JoJo McJoJo and so? there's far better music then this out there with much less recognition, and you don't see me crying about it
+Rémi Gauthier
Vs. a *billion* for pop bullshit songs.
+JoJo McJoJo again 700k hits
Big Like
Love this Song xo
@jcc152509 name some
It's changed that doesn't make it bad. "Ring in the new"
SHARE THIS VIDEO ON FACEBOOK !!! OK ??? GO NOW !!!
Muito bom
Velho e bom Smash voltou! Ótimo album
Gangnam Style has 2,652 times more views than this. God is dead.
have always loved this side of the pumpkins too bad it never got appreciated but i love it. kinda like having something cool no one knows about
This song gets better with multiple listens, much like this album. I didn't really like any of it at first but it's growing on me.
yes it has that mellon collie sound...you know, that sound of awesome pumpkins!
Comparing this to mcis.... lmao.
This song makes me sad because it's awesome and nobody is hearing it because culture is now completely fucked.
Pumpkins sdds *--*
This song makes me sad, because it's no good. :(
I think I had moments when this album reminded me of every other Pumpkins album.
This sounds just as good as anything off of Mellon Collie, and that is one of the best compliments one can give. This album blew my expectations away..never question Billy Corgan when he's using the name Smashing Pumpkins!!
Just as good? You are fucking deaf.
very...very...very good song
Are you being serious?
btw, the whole thing "you should do something new" is completely bullshit. The result is usually pointless try. Notes don´t care what year or fashion it is
Seems that Corgan is little bit lost, seems he is chasing the tune again. Once he got it. Good news is that if he keeps on trying he catches it again
Mto boa
my top 1 favorite song in this band.
Can anyone please make an Instrumental version, of this video?
for the people who says that Billy is the new Axl Rose. then now bow down.
As Billy says himself, it's only about the top 5% percent that sells records at that specific time. It's not about Niech artists that don't care what the 14 year olds listen to or what you listen to for that matter. Those who really express themselves freely... you know... like Billy?
Today, is therese 29th oficial siamese dream :D
What a fucking Song !
Great music and great album.
HE LET YOU BURN HIS SP? HE STOLE!!! HE'S OUT OF THE BAND!! FIRED!!!!
jk
this is my favorite song ever. :)
100% thank you
Im gonna love you
I love this song!
The Smashing Pumpkins still rocks!
BILLY CORGAN IS A GENIUS, THE BEST MUSICIAN ALIVE!
God work computer land.
you don't have to make mindless mainstream shit. You have to pretend to sing for someone who hires someone else to write mindless mainstream shit. Then another person records it and auto tunes it so it sounds like like you are singing mindless mainstream shit. In reality, all you have to do is sing mindless mainstream shit out of tune.
you don't have any humor, do you? :)
don't think so because i has never agreed the use of drugs
Its 'endlessly they'll set you free'
Don't take awards nowadays seriously. I love music/films, and watch/listen everyday, but have never watched a single award event in my life. Most people that watch them aren't true fans of film/music.
"LSD that set you free, gave you reasons to believe this empty place" is that what he says???
questo pezzo è bellissimo poi!
wow.! finalmente sono tornati gli SMASHING PUMPKINS!!!!
one of the only 90's bands that's still putting out excellent music.
This is weird: I went to middle school and high school with Mike Byrne, the drummer. One time, he lent me "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" in jazz combos so I could burn it. So cool...
Love the music.. Lyrics are o.k.
