This song is beautiful - I can't get it out of my head! Thanks Katie :)

Indeed Katie! Great job on the bgv’s I would buy a Katie Cole BGV plug in! Lol 😂 Thank you!!

I knew this was a classic 5 seconds in - love the creative vocal melody, the production is so lush, love it

LOVE

The backing vocals are particularly strong here. Gave me goosebumps👍

WOW just listened for first time. I'll listen 15-20 more and make my decision but for first impressions? Not for me. Doesn't sound anything like old skins or just the Skins. If not for Billies voice I would never have guessed this is the Pumpkins.

​@@allankay12 I got this rated like number 7 or so in thier all time albums... Better than zeitgeist and just under Oceania... Imo

I think the story is that they reunited with James and went into the studio to just record some random tracks and see what happened with the intention of putting the songs out as 2 or 3 separate EPs as they toured. Then, the announced EPs never came out, and I gather they were pushed into waiting and releasing the tracks as a "reunion album" instead. Hence the randomness and the short length of the album.

That's because it was a bunch of songs Rick Rubin just liked.

To think Billy is probably teabagging them for breakfast... Lucky bastard..

I came here to see if anyone else had the same thought. Also, why am I reminded of Mick Fleetwood's drumming when I hear this?

I agree wholeheartedly!

Thx bro

Thanks mang!!!

Thank you man.

Thanks for the lyrics. Funny, at first I thought the stuff at the end within parentheses were more background vocals.)

I'm stuck with blunt force..

I Agree totally 😁

🇧🇷🇧🇷

Which is a bad thing.

The lyrics are meant to be mostly ignored, it’s about the imagery man

Dauphins*

@@NateR777 That's a tad disappointing, I quite like the idea of riding into the sunset on dolphinback. Does make more sense though to be fair :D

Do you think the Solar Chakra is the same as the Soul Star? soul1.org/invocation_of_the_soul.htm

Chakra naruto

Doesn’t look like it anytime soon.

@@oompaloompadoompa-de-doo3614 order from chaos my friend. We have to walk through the dark, so that we may appreciate the light.

Namaste 🙏

I hear hear Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks in background

Flatulence

Who cares? It’s about the sonic journey

Listen to Bush's rendition

I thought I was alone in hearing Fleetwood Mac. Yup

I agree. my tracklist is also 13... Colour of Love Confessions of a Dopamine Addict Dulcet in E Anno Satana Birch Grove Wyttch Starrcraft Purple Blood Save Your Tears (not sure about Telegenix) Adrennalynee Haunted The Hidden Sun (or Telegenix or neither, honestly...) Minerva

Why? It’s the streaming era bro

@@austinvosler7247 because there are also vinyls selling pretty well nowadays and overall, Billy likens himself to an artist with musical integrity. Why leave off gems in the past albums and save for b-sides and not now? I am personally streaming everything but I "hide" the crap songs to not clog up my stream. It is just a reflection of how Billy is by himself, with no one to reel him in and say, "bro, tighten it up a bit, these songs are a bit too much." I didnt completely agree with the new Pitchfork review, but it does have legitimate points of not having to be a "double album" when its actually shorter than Adore and Machina and really, just listen to it... instead of a strong, kick in the ass, its a bit watered down and long in the tooth with the same ideas over and over again, same background vocals and 3 min song after 3 min song... It was probably a contractual thing, but hey, whatever, the good ones are good and you can HIDE the rest. The next couple albums better rock the fuck out or ciao ciao SP.

Jimmy did say he has a new drum machine

Because? Musicians should only play the (type of) instruments you expect them to / are used to?

If you can hear Jimmy or Iha in this, I congratulate you.

Would not be the band we love and need otherwise.

This record is the best trip I’ve had since Tame’s release. Grab some weed and good headphones bro.

ExactlyEvery intro just makes me sigh

Dude weed is legal, join the sonic journey with us!

Absolutely ridiculous statement.

@@qotitadelsol8689 Umm, Ok. Free country?

I wasn't going to take the bait but I'm genuinely curious, what makes you say this song stands out from others on the album? And even more so, what makes it one of the best Pumpkins songs?

@@dylanjwebmusic First off, The lyrics & vocal performance is fantastic. The song has a timeless quality to it. Like most SP songs do. Feels like something that could have been on Adore or even Mellon collie. The song arrangement has classic pumpkins all over it. If the chorus was drenched in fuzz guitars, most people would say the pumpkins are back & the band could have easily done that but once again, that’s not what this band is about. Each album is about creativity and progressing forward, not repeating patterns of familiarity.

@@smashingpumpkinsvip6944 nope
