My mom used to always call in to radio stations and win contests and she won this album. I was only in 3rd grade and she gave it to me. These songs are totally like deep seeded in core childhood memories haha
I cry so much with this song.. It reminds me when I was married to a beautiful woman, my wife and then Cancer took her but she gave me a beautiful little girl who at 13 years old would pass away as well. 9 years as a single widowed dad I miss you little one...daddy loves you so much. these past 3 years have been hell on earth. December 22,2023 life sucks is all I can say. Till this day, i cry for my lovely daughter. I thank each and everyone, save for one or two people that think they know how it feels to lose a child, for your kindness to leave beautiful messages on here. I was watching this video and just poured out my feelings as a comment as i am kind of a loner ,and did not expect so much love and kindness here. Thank you again and again. To those who have lost someone theres not much ai can say as I know how it feels to lose someone and words are just words, i could say this though, live off memories made with that loved one. Religious or not there is that hole we will see them again sometime when we ourselves leave this earth.
@@Novak219Just try to keep track of your "tomorrows" - count them well, and if they aren't what you want them to be, then grab them and yourself by the throat and get serious (I turned 18 the day this album was released - Oct 23, 1995...so I resonate with Billy Bob).

All the great bands have that one album that transcends time and has no flaw within any measure of its score. I'm not the biggest pumpkins fan in the world, but this album is timeless and perfect.
I remember when i was at school and i was told that my best friend was hit by a car and died. I called my mom and she came to pick me up from school and this song was on the radio. She didn't say ANYTHING. All she did was turn up the radio all the way. On the way home with "Thirty-three"at full blast, i saw a cross next to the road with his name on it and flowers. All of a sudden i just started screaming and crying as hard as i could. My mother had no expression what so ever. She didn't say anything. She just let me get it out. when i got home, i shut my door and locked it. I freaked out and tore my room apart and my tantrum lasted for an hour. Eventually i fell asleep on the floor. Ever since, i cant listen to this song without thinking about Austin. Its an awesome song though.
You know, the internet gets a bad reputation for its negative effects of individuals and society. But when you read through comments of Pumpkins videos, you can see the beauty the internet let's strangers experience together. It brings together people from all over the world that would have never met that have similar experiences, feelings, and emotions about something. It really is special in that way. Even though the internet can be harmful in certain ways, I think it's important to accept the good things it can bring to people's lives as well.
It's like a hammer: a tool. Used in the hands of bad actors, we see the cesspool it can be. Used by someone with a heart, and mind, it can be used to build.
Just when you thought you were weird or alone, it turns out you’re just like the rest of us…weirdly beautiful. I’m here for you, you’re here for me. We’re never alone.
as a teen, lonely and never thinking i'd find anyone, i listened to this and cried. Now, 36, with a goddess of a wife and an angel of a son, I listened again. and cried. life has a way of working out if you let it.
Christopher Pullen Great for you! Hope the same fate can happen to me, I'm the lonely teenager that cant find anyone right now. But that little sentence gives me hope, thank you.
That's awesome! I am currently that 13 year old that's constantly getting in trouble and going through many frivolous relationships that do nothing but hurt and waste time. I am trying my best right now to straighten out. My grades are gradually going up and I've been single for a while now. Comments and stories like these give me courage and a crave to do better so thank you, fellow stranger!
Christopher Pullen I'm 13 and just looking for someone to hold on to for the rest of my life, someone who's ok with traveling with my band and someone who wants kids, I just can't wait to find that person.
Every time I hear this song, I sit and cry, and think about my son. He committed suicide in 2018 at the young age of 26. I think of the memories when we used to get in the car, go for a drive and sing "1979 together". As years went by, we grew apart. His addiction led to him taking his life. Later that year I saw them in concert for the first time ever. I nearly cried the whole time thinking of him. I lost it when they played this and 1979 almost back to back in their set. It's like they knew my pain. But that was the moment I released every emotion I could hoping he could hear me sing those songs at the top of my lungs. You can guarantee I'm crying while listening to it and typing this now.
I have a son. Therefore I know there are no words that could ever comfort you. But I also know somehow, somewhere, he heard you. The bond between a father and his son goes far beyond our understanding. Keep his memory close to your heart.
I can guarantee I'm crying while listening to it and reading this, I'm so sorry for your loss. The only things more beautiful than thirty three and 1979 are the memories people have shared that they have tied to these songs.
This was also the first CD i bought with my own earned money that wasn't allowance when I was 10 years old along with Evil Empire from Rage Against the Machine and Pablo Honey from Radiohead. I listened to these albums almost every waking moment for the first week after I bought them, RIP tower records.
I remember Mellon Collie getting lackluster reviews when I was a kid and wondering what the FUCK these critics were smoking. It has truly become a timeless classic among, well, seems like everyone. What an amazing double album.
Time is free but it is priceless you can't own it but you can use it. You can't keep it but you can spend it and once it's lost you can never get it back. The biggest mistake that you will ever make is thinking you have enough time.
I a few years younger than you…. This is the first double album I knew to exist. I was completely blown away at the concept. My little brain couldn’t handle it.
Then there's this guy hahah.. Jk man... I literally have every one of their albums... But simple man is played out as shit! More like right up there with "4 walls of raford"
This video/song is a masterpiece. During the taping of VH-1 Storytellers, Billy talked about the meaning of “Thirty-Three” when he said, “The year was 1994 and I just moved into a new house that was eventually going to be a purple Victorian house in Chicago. And this is the first song that I wrote for that album. And um, this song really embodies the spirit of that time. I had just gotten married, I’d just moved into a new house, the band was achieving the kind of success that people only dream of and I was really hopeful with the idea that I was eventually and someday -and it looked like it was going to happen- actually have a happy life. It didn’t quite work out that way. But I don’t think that’s what I really want to emphasize about this particular song. Um, you know, hope is really the key component in life because one must have hope and faith to actually get out of bed and do anything in this world. And um, you know, in my mind at that time, I think I was 27 years old, I thought that I had arrived. I supposedly had everything one would want: the wife, the cat, the house, the car, and the money and the -oh yeah, the fame. And um, but I think what I’m really trying to say here is all I ever really wanted was a happy home.”
The first time I looked at my then girlfriend and realized that I loved her this song was playing. 16 years and three children later, she’s now my wife and I’m laying next to her in bed listening to this song realizing that I still love her just the same only more. This song brings me back to that exact moment in time and makes me look forward to forever.
Beautiful! Amazing my friend and congrats! May you and your family live a long and happy and healthy life together,filled with laughter happiness and love!
When I was 20 and in the Navy I would listen to this tune while looking at pics of my wife and infant son (who is now 6'3!) and it would seem almost as if they were with me. They both still are. Thank you Anna and Jon for sticking by me all these years. I love you forever.
At 56 years old I can say I heard some really good songs in my lifetime.....but when I heard this I felt my soul stir and became part of the song....wow. What a voice....what a song....what a band.... What a journey it has been thus far...... lookin' forward to many more days......
Me too man. I'm just about to turn 34, and this song has been on my mind all year. I miss the 90's and childhood so much. This song has such a heavy meaning to me now that I'm older.
This is Corgan at the very top of his game. The placement of the lyrics within the natural chorus is brilliant. By that I mean the verse "You, can make it last, forever you." By itself and within the song it references tomorrow not love. And tomorrow is a day that will always come but never arrive. The fact that he's talking using tomorrow as his excuse to not do whatever he needs to get done today (like, love someone? I dunno) is mind bending when you go back and listen to the song in that context. I used to get so caught up in how beautifully its sung and arranged and what a great song of introspection it was but its much more that that. Corgan edified his greatness with 33.
"Thirty-Three" Speak to me in a language I can hear Humour me before I have to go Deep in thought I forgive everyone As the cluttered streets greet me once again I know I can't be late, supper's waiting on the table Tomorrow's just an excuse away So I pull my collar up and face the cold, on my own The earth laughs beneath my heavy feet At the blasphemy in my old jangly walk Steeple guide me to my heart and home The sun is out and up and down again I know I'll make it, love can last forever Graceful swans of never topple to the earth And you can make it last, forever you You can make it last, forever you And for a moment I lose myself Wrapped up in the pleasures of the world I've journeyed here and there and back again But in the same old haunts I still find my friends Mysteries not ready to reveal Sympathies I'm ready to return I'll make the effort, love can last forever Graceful swans of never topple to the earth Tomorrow's just an excuse And you can make it last, forever you You can make it last, forever you
I'm 44 now, ex heroin addict and I wasted all my 30s to the devil that is heroin..... I'm back now!! I still had some fond memories amongst the madness ❤️🙄
The most striking visual of the video to me was the sad man head down shuffling away down the street. BUT in his hand he held a pretty purple balloon of hope. Brilliant! Says so much
@@avalondreaming1433 Thanks for sharing this. I keep going back to that time, in my mind, almost every night before sleeping. It's the moment when everything went wrong, when something broke. Wish I could fix it. And I hope you can.
This whole album helped me get through my divorce and the ensuing custody battle for my son. Thank you Smashing Pumpkins for making music that has reached out and touched people.
@aaron collier That's messed up. Had a former friend try to sabotage my marriage, by pointing out all of my wife's flaws and making them seem 10 times worse. Nothing my wife had done was a deal breaker. Marriage is about ups and downs, overcoming the bad, and embracing the good, together. Eventually found out she wanted me to leave for her. I have a kid with my wife, and despite everything, I am not throwing in the towel. She doesn't understand that I would have gone from being able to see my daughter everyday, to hardly at all. Fuck that.
This song, and the Pumpkins generally speaking as a band, really, are THE band that defines my emotions during my mid teenage years. But, when I go "there" with them, to bask in nostalgia of the youth gone by, it rarely ends in the warm comfort it initially enticed me with, but rather a sad depth that I think we all experienced. Although I wanted to taste it for a second, I didnt ask it to take me THROUGH it again. Love. .....Loathe. Dont want to remember.......Can' forget.
It's funny - the comments around pumpkins songs are openhearted and deep. not the usual bullshit comments you see on youtube. It's like we're all friends, opened by the intimate sharing of the Pumpkins. without criticizing, hurting others, no insults. It somehow fills people with acceptance. I think that is a magical virtue of SP.
This takes me back to probably one of the best times in my life-the 90s. And The pumpkins really defined that time period with this album. God what I wouldn't give to go back and live it all over again.....
If you need a smile... read: I'm sure so many of you reading this can relate. I was 12 years old when bullet with butterfly wings came out. I immediately purchased the entire album and listen to it over and over and over again. I became so obsessed with the smashing pumpkins. My dad took my mom and I on a business trip with him to Toronto one week. My dad found out smashing pumpkins were playing in Toronto & scalped some tickets for he and I only .. as he could only find two. It was on my moms birthday sadly the day that he and I went to that concert and sat in the third row. My dad, a very conservative man, never smoked pot a day in his life, me and 13-year-old girl obsessed with Billy Corgan. There is so much nostalgia for me and listening to this song and so many others. I sent Billy Corgan a birthday card on his 35th birthday. Literally that is how obsessed I was. Posters of smashing pumpkins covered my walls. And my concert T-shirt that I purchased at the Toronto concert I'm pretty sure I wore to school every single week until I was 16.... so much love for Billy and the band. ❤️
I feel like the Pumpkins would have been even more successful than they were if more people heard the softer stuff. Billy's voice gets better the quieter they play.
This guy has a point. If you've never heard Adore, it's so beautiful and intimate. Also, Machina II has some incredible deep cuts. If you've never heard them play Fleetwod Mac's Landslide on Pisces Iscariot, you're also missing out there. Some of the Pumpkins' best songs are just toned down and quiet.
+Anthony Rauscher he actually did an interview saying it was about the point in time when he was married, had the cat and the house and the huge success and should have been happy but found that he wasn't...and had to deal with that and realized he wasn't. It was actually a really sad explanation.
+Jennifer Delamar If you're searching for success your entire life and you find it, you'll be happy once you're successful. But if you're actually searching for something else, then you won't be happy with success. But at least if you're successful you'll have a chance of finding what you're actually looking for... people working 3 minimum wage jobs to get by don't have enough free time to search for what makes them happy.
Had just sat down for dinner as this song happened to just by chance came on gently playing in the background. The steam still rising off the plates my wife had just set with a beam of sunlight coming through the window. My three children arrived laughing from horseplay smiling with joy all happening for me in slow motion. A magical assembly of goodness.
I'm 45, and I can't help feeling so identified with this issue. My most rebellious, restless, disorderly times occurred in all that beautiful time of the 90s. Today I listen to this song, standing in my kitchen, with my headphones, and it is impossible to feel nostalgia
I remember being 10 years old in 95 already into music heavy, walking into Sam goody in my local mall, and buying this double masterpiece of an album on cassette. My friends at school all had the cd version(with the cool crying/happy face) All of us at the young age of 10 had and listened to this album daily that summer of 96.
Being a teenager in Chicago in the 90’s, I find Smashing Pumpkins to be the most Nostalgic band to me. How I miss the days of my youth that are gone forever and never will return. We live our life in the greatest moments of our past.
vtelopez492 Me too! I’d sit against my bed with my guitar writing music.. Headphones always on in school.. God I loved the 90s. Yet my curiosity of Billy’s involvement with Courtney Love is still a mystery. Her stories don’t match each other and I remember the day Kurt died.. but I still love smashing implies and believe billy is a prodigy. Best years of my life.
I know everybody says this about everything but I believe from the bottom of my heart that they don't make music like this anymore and they never will. A perfect art rock band that existed in a time where musicians could make millions.
I completely agree. I grew up with this album, and I doubt any other band has had such an impact on who I am today, as silly as that may sound. I will always consider myself lucky to have been able to experience it firsthand, because the whole album has such a strong emotional and nostalgic connection to my past, and I’ll always cherish it.
this song got me through my cocaine addiction and was clean on the other side.... nothing but love and respect to this band. you may have saved my life! gratitude isn't enough words for what you've gotten me through. thank you so very much.... 18 years clean this month..... bless you all, wherever you all may be..💓💛💜💖💗💙💚💟💞💝❣
Bless you.i was years addicted to speed for years .now im sober for 3years .i was listening to this song years ago .felt really depressed 'now i love this song .i always did. Strange feeling .keep on going sober!!
Congratulations what a blessing! You are one of the reasons you give people hope 🤗if you can change your life and say you can do it, everyone else should be able to also! She believed she could.... So she did😊
My Mother and Father used to play this song when I was in the womb!! They would put the speaker to my mothers belly back in 96 I'm 20 now.. Didn't know that tell I played this song in front of my mom !!!!!!!This Song means so much to me :)
It bothers me that kids , my two daughters esp, wont know what it was like. The peak of modern civilization before digital came thru and fkd everything to hell. It wasnt to far into the 2000s that every thing started to slide in a negative way.
Takes me back to dancing with my wife on our wedding night. We chose this song and "Dreaming My Dreams" by The Cranberries as our songs to dance to. After all of these years, I can't imagine life without my best friend.
Constanza L. Ik how you feel. I just fell for my ex who was supposedly good and an outstanding gentleman. I guess all he wants fwb. I'm not looking for that anymore. I want someone I could call my own. Just a companion. No love. Just someone to where we can fall into each other. But maybe he's not the one either. Maybe there is no "the one."
Keyboard Commander ...it’s funny at 47..I kinda fell the same way. This album strikes a particular cord with me. Im drowning in the nostalgia...I miss days and people and times who are long gone....
This song is still so dreamy and dear to my heart after all this time. I have scribbled 'Tomorrow's just an excuse away' on my bedroom wall, to which my dad responded "Huh!" before admitting he'd done the same when he was a teenager. The Smashing Pumpkins are the sole reason I wanted to learn the guitar. Thank you for the infinite gifts.
Favourite song of all time. Hits me hard. Goosebumps every time. Listened to it when it was released as a young teen in Egypt. Now in my 40s, living on another continent, and it still is my favourite song of all time. Thank you Billy for everything!
This album was the soundtrack to my transition from a teenager into an adult. I know they've always said it wasn't a concept album but I could hear the thread of a story though the songs. It encompassed everything I went though and ultimately would go through. There was such a sadness in a realization that all my anger and despair would likely bring me to an ending not unlike the last few songs of the album... Confused, scared, and left with the empty husk of a life that I thought could turn out so differently. Rage is the legacy that all the young inherit if they want, but in the end, if we don't learn to direct the pain of growing up in some useful direction, before you know it you're grown and you have left youth behind. If you didn't rise up to your life, you find yourself staring down the barrel of the rest of your life without purpose, and to there comes a day when it is too late to make the difference you wanted to. You're left with baggage full of regret, lost chances, broken hearts and the ceaseless voice inside that can't stop asking "what if I had done things differently?" I still listen to this record and feel as though Billy Corgan was the true voice of our generation, even though Nirvana will probably always hold the title of the herald of our time. I don't agree. This record is the perfect snapshot of that moment and the people like ourselves who came of age in the 90's.
Rediscovering them again at 42. Funny thing is they are helping me rediscover myself all over again 25 years later. So much has happened in that time span but they are just as powerful now like they were then. Great band.
How many absolute bangers can one group pull out of the ether? Billy and Butch have made more than one masterpiece..... My favorite group by a MILLION MILES. I hope if there's an afterlife that I can listen to them when I'm gone.
Pure and unadulterated Genius from a time when this level of supreme musical talent was common. Looking back and comparing to today's offerings i realise how spoiled we was in the 90's. WHAT HAPPENED ???
This song stirs up so many memories and emotions. Some sad, some happy. 20+ years later it still touches me. It is a beautiful song that can resonate with teen me and old man me. For All those in despair and alone. Do not fret or lose hope. Things will get better. Love will find a way to get to you.
Speak to me in a language I can hear Humour me before I have to go Deep in thought I forgive everyone As the cluttered streets greet me once again I know I can't be late, supper's waiting on the table Tomorrow's just an excuse away So I pull my collar up and face the cold, on my own The earth laughs beneath my heavy feet At the blasphemy in my old jangly walk Steeple guide me to my heart and home The sun is out and up and down again I know I'll make it, love can last forever Graceful swans of never topple to the earth And you can make it last, forever you You can make it last, forever you And for a moment I lose myself Wrapped up in the pleasures of the world I've journeyed here and there and back again But in the same old haunts I still find my friends Mysteries not ready to reveal Sympathies I'm ready to return I'll make the effort, love can last forever Graceful swans of never topple to the earth Tomorrow's just an excuse And you can make it last, forever you You can make it last, forever you
I’ll be 40 my birthday, and I always comeback to these songs, melancholy and the infinite sadness was one of the albums I bought to play in my 92 Honda Accord. With the CD PLAYER you plugged into your cigarette lighter ❤️
The saddest thing about TH-cam is that there's some absolutely amazing songs that haven't hit the reach they should have because they are old. This is one of them.

It brings together people from all over the world that would have never met that have similar experiences, feelings, and emotions about something. It really is special in that way.

I have a son. Therefore I know there are no words that could ever comfort you. But I also know somehow, somewhere, he heard you. The bond between a father and his son goes far beyond our understanding. Keep his memory close to your heart.
I am very sorry for your loss 😢
I can guarantee I'm crying while listening to it and reading this, I'm so sorry for your loss. The only things more beautiful than thirty three and 1979 are the memories people have shared that they have tied to these songs.
My condolences to your son. So sorry for your loss. 🙏🏼❤️
Mellon Collie has quickly become my favorite 90s album. So many good songs...
Last great decade of music. in my opinion. Spent many nights listening to these guys. Awesome band, Awesome CD.
it was the first cd i ever purchased... the year it hit shelves... played it to death on my big fat sony discman...
mostly disc one for the first couple years, then much more disc two ever since...
This was also the first CD i bought with my own earned money that wasn't allowance when I was 10 years old along with Evil Empire from Rage Against the Machine and Pablo Honey from Radiohead. I listened to these albums almost every waking moment for the first week after I bought them, RIP tower records.
I remember Mellon Collie getting lackluster reviews when I was a kid and wondering what the FUCK these critics were smoking. It has truly become a timeless classic among, well, seems like everyone. What an amazing double album.
Wow…..The feelings this song brings back….. it almost hurts
Same here... I'm 51 now.
Time is free but it is priceless you can't own it but you can use it. You can't keep it but you can spend it and once it's lost you can never get it back. The biggest mistake that you will ever make is thinking you have enough time.
🖤🖤 So happy i discovered Pumpkins when i was 16 yrs old..now im 46 and its wild how i still have all the same feels listening to Billy .
I a few years younger than you…. This is the first double album I knew to exist. I was completely blown away at the concept. My little brain couldn’t handle it.
one of the best songs in human history
I rate this in up there with simple man from skynard
No ...fucking.....question..
It takes me to "that place"...
You know the place I'm talking about...
Then there's this guy hahah..
Jk man... I literally have every one of their albums... But simple man is played out as shit!
More like right up there with "4 walls of raford"
My most favorite.
this and “that’s the way” by zeppelin
"tomorrow's just an excuse away"
hits me like a ton of bricks.
Bendage I feel you man 🤜🏻
Bendage I'm sorry that you died from these lyrics 😢 I'm praying for you 🙏
Today... Pera...
Every damn time, hurts more as I age.
lifes motto for most
Billy has written some amazingly beautiful songs.
Keyboard Commander Still does
Billy came to my classmate's house in Somerville, Tennessee, once.
@@brienluck4783 did he wrestle him?
did he wrestle her? PC/unPC
This is my number one favorite song ever made. It hits me right in the bone marrow. Breaks my heart every time.
Hi I recommend an Indie Song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
Same here
I agree with you, just cried my eyes out, this song is just amazing
This video/song is a masterpiece.
During the taping of VH-1 Storytellers, Billy talked about the meaning of “Thirty-Three” when he said, “The year was 1994 and I just moved into a new house that was eventually going to be a purple Victorian house in Chicago. And this is the first song that I wrote for that album. And um, this song really embodies the spirit of that time. I had just gotten married, I’d just moved into a new house, the band was achieving the kind of success that people only dream of and I was really hopeful with the idea that I was eventually and someday -and it looked like it was going to happen- actually have a happy life. It didn’t quite work out that way. But I don’t think that’s what I really want to emphasize about this particular song. Um, you know, hope is really the key component in life because one must have hope and faith to actually get out of bed and do anything in this world. And um, you know, in my mind at that time, I think I was 27 years old, I thought that I had arrived. I supposedly had everything one would want: the wife, the cat, the house, the car, and the money and the -oh yeah, the fame. And um, but I think what I’m really trying to say here is all I ever really wanted was a happy home.”
Why was the song called 33 though?I always thought it was his age but he was in his late 20s
"...all I ever really wanted was a happy home.”
Damn that hits
Don't we all...? Guess that's why this song speaks to all of us
Thank you for adding in the transcript regarding Billy's thoughts on this song.

The first time I looked at my then girlfriend and realized that I loved her this song was playing. 16 years and three children later, she’s now my wife and I’m laying next to her in bed listening to this song realizing that I still love her just the same only more. This song brings me back to that exact moment in time and makes me look forward to forever.
Congrats brother! God is good 🙏

This song does not get enough credit. It is my favorite Smashing Pumpkins song and a very underrated song. So beautiful.
1979 for me but I respect your opinion
Most people don't even realize what this songs about. It is a very cryptic masterpiece.
@@theslo777ery
there's no clear or given meaning to it
it's for people to decide what it means to them
This song was not underrated. It was one of their biggest singles off of the Mellon Collie album.
@@facade5050 oh really??
Would've never made it past the 2000's without this song...
When I was 20 and in the Navy I would listen to this tune while looking at pics of my wife and infant son (who is now 6'3!) and it would seem almost as if they were with me. They both still are. Thank you Anna and Jon for sticking by me all these years. I love you forever.

At 56 years old I can say I heard some really good songs in my lifetime.....but when I heard this I felt my soul stir and became part of the song....wow. What a voice....what a song....what a band.... What a journey it has been thus far...... lookin' forward to many more days......
I just turned 33 the other day. I remember listening to the pumpkins when I was a teenager.Christ, I miss those days.
Turned 33 today...this song is a great reminder that I’ll never be a teenager again, an awkward sense of peace in that
Me too
Laura Saravia best friends forever! :-)
Me too man. I'm just about to turn 34, and this song has been on my mind all year. I miss the 90's and childhood so much. This song has such a heavy meaning to me now that I'm older.

Today is my 33rd birthday. I've been waiting years to listen to this song today.
I was 16 and looked forward to listening on my 33rd bday. That was 5 years ago.
Likewise. When I was 13 I used to listen to this thinking it was so far away. Well, here I am today, 33rd birthday. I hope you’re having a good year!
Ten years away
I went to a bar and sung karaoke to this song when I turned 33. Had too!!!
@@Junger2183I was 15 but it seemed so far away I couldn't imagine it.
Every time I hear this and many other Smashing Pumpkins songs I feel a deep feeling I can't describe, this is art
Billy often tries to evoke nostalgia in his melodies and lyrics. that's part of it
deeper meaning to the song... ever listen to him describe uh.... shape shifters on howard stern? in the thick of it
I like the meaning of the balloon
Me too man
Longing
This is Corgan at the very top of his game. The placement of the lyrics within the natural chorus is brilliant. By that I mean the verse "You, can make it last, forever you." By itself and within the song it references tomorrow not love. And tomorrow is a day that will always come but never arrive.
The fact that he's talking using tomorrow as his excuse to not do whatever he needs to get done today (like, love someone? I dunno) is mind bending when you go back and listen to the song in that context. I used to get so caught up in how beautifully its sung and arranged and what a great song of introspection it was but its much more that that. Corgan edified his greatness with 33.
"Thirty-Three"
Speak to me in a language I can hear
Humour me before I have to go
Deep in thought I forgive everyone
As the cluttered streets greet me once again
I know I can't be late, supper's waiting on the table
Tomorrow's just an excuse away
So I pull my collar up and face the cold, on my own
The earth laughs beneath my heavy feet
At the blasphemy in my old jangly walk
Steeple guide me to my heart and home
The sun is out and up and down again
I know I'll make it, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you
And for a moment I lose myself
Wrapped up in the pleasures of the world
I've journeyed here and there and back again
But in the same old haunts I still find my friends
Mysteries not ready to reveal
Sympathies I'm ready to return
I'll make the effort, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
Tomorrow's just an excuse
And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you
I'm 44 now, ex heroin addict and I wasted all my 30s to the devil that is heroin..... I'm back now!! I still had some fond memories amongst the madness ❤️🙄

Thankfully Jesus gives you eternity. Love is the way. And forgiveness is the best.
Welcome back!!
This song helped me through some pretty dark times in my life. I did pull my collar up and face the cold...on my own.
The most striking visual of the video to me was the sad man head down shuffling away down the street. BUT in his hand he held a pretty purple balloon of hope. Brilliant! Says so much
I'm 64. What great memories of when I was late 20's to 38 thank you Billy.
Great
What stopped the memories at 38 if you don't mind my asking

@@avalondreaming1433 Thanks for sharing this. I keep going back to that time, in my mind, almost every night before sleeping. It's the moment when everything went wrong, when something broke. Wish I could fix it. And I hope you can.
This whole album helped me get through my divorce and the ensuing custody battle for my son. Thank you Smashing Pumpkins for making music that has reached out and touched people.
Glad you made it threw brother
Damn ... with you bro
Going through the same shit now bro
@aaron collier That's messed up. Had a former friend try to sabotage my marriage, by pointing out all of my wife's flaws and making them seem 10 times worse. Nothing my wife had done was a deal breaker. Marriage is about ups and downs, overcoming the bad, and embracing the good, together. Eventually found out she wanted me to leave for her. I have a kid with my wife, and despite everything, I am not throwing in the towel. She doesn't understand that I would have gone from being able to see my daughter everyday, to hardly at all. Fuck that.
Going through a custody battle now over my 2 year old boy. He is worth every second of this hell. I feel ya brother.
25 years later, and when I hear this song I get teary eyed
Join the club.
yes. It means we're human.
This song, and the Pumpkins generally speaking as a band, really, are THE band that defines my emotions during my mid teenage years. But, when I go "there" with them, to bask in nostalgia of the youth gone by, it rarely ends in the warm comfort it initially enticed me with, but rather a sad depth that I think we all experienced. Although I wanted to taste it for a second, I didnt ask it to take me THROUGH it again. Love. .....Loathe. Dont want to remember.......Can' forget.
Nice words into a beautiful comment
Funny how we've completed the cycle
Mark Jones perfectly put my friend
It's funny - the comments around pumpkins songs are openhearted and deep. not the usual bullshit comments you see on youtube. It's like we're all friends, opened by the intimate sharing of the Pumpkins. without criticizing, hurting others, no insults. It somehow fills people with acceptance. I think that is a magical virtue of SP.
Mark Jones Id have to tottaly agree with you!
This takes me back to probably one of the best times in my life-the 90s. And The pumpkins really defined that time period with this album. God what I wouldn't give to go back and live it all over again.....
Thank goodness there was, is and always will be a Smashing Pumpkins.
By far…. One of the most beautiful songs and lyrics that I’ve EVER heard
My daughter sung this to me when I was heartbroken. I will never forget it
Tears 😭
so sweeeet
u have an amazing daughter!!
Beautiful 💗
Heartbroken? I thought honey badger don't care. Also I thought honey badger don't give a shit
If you need a smile... read: I'm sure so many of you reading this can relate. I was 12 years old when bullet with butterfly wings came out. I immediately purchased the entire album and listen to it over and over and over again. I became so obsessed with the smashing pumpkins. My dad took my mom and I on a business trip with him to Toronto one week. My dad found out smashing pumpkins were playing in Toronto & scalped some tickets for he and I only .. as he could only find two. It was on my moms birthday sadly the day that he and I went to that concert and sat in the third row. My dad, a very conservative man, never smoked pot a day in his life, me and 13-year-old girl obsessed with Billy Corgan. There is so much nostalgia for me and listening to this song and so many others. I sent Billy Corgan a birthday card on his 35th birthday. Literally that is how obsessed I was. Posters of smashing pumpkins covered my walls. And my concert T-shirt that I purchased at the Toronto concert I'm pretty sure I wore to school every single week until I was 16.... so much love for Billy and the band. ❤️
I feel like the Pumpkins would have been even more successful than they were if more people heard the softer stuff. Billy's voice gets better the quieter they play.
I agree, I always thought their melodic songs were better than their "heavy" ones, and I say that as a metal fan.
They're my more favorite songs, simple yet such beautiful poetry.
Agree. The softer stuff is usually what gets me now. Just listen to his recent solo albums "Ogilala" and "Cotillions"
For some reason they went away from it after Adore. Might have been the lack of commercial success. I find the quiet parts of MCATIS the best.
This guy has a point. If you've never heard Adore, it's so beautiful and intimate. Also, Machina II has some incredible deep cuts. If you've never heard them play Fleetwod Mac's Landslide on Pisces Iscariot, you're also missing out there. Some of the Pumpkins' best songs are just toned down and quiet.
I cry every damn time I hear this song but can't stop listening to it beautiful
Same
That feeling you get when you have forgotten about a song for years, then hear it again like it was the first time.
This song hits different as an adult having experienced life while no longer a teen hearing it new in the 90’s. 😔
I sure hope it does. If not then you got to ask yourself what the hell you've been doing all those years
@@brianfleming6882 that's not true....even as a young teen, i got out of the song what i get out of it as an adult.
It hit me hard when it originally came out (I was in my early 20s)............................today at 52, it hits me about 10X harder.
This song is the song I play the most here on U-Tube!❤❤❤❤
This is ridiculously nostalgic for me.love it
+Anthony Rauscher he actually did an interview saying it was about the point in time when he was married, had the cat and the house and the huge success and should have been happy but found that he wasn't...and had to deal with that and realized he wasn't. It was actually a really sad explanation.
+Gxnisxs Deluxx love you too.
+Jennifer Delamar If you're searching for success your entire life and you find it, you'll be happy once you're successful. But if you're actually searching for something else, then you won't be happy with success. But at least if you're successful you'll have a chance of finding what you're actually looking for... people working 3 minimum wage jobs to get by don't have enough free time to search for what makes them happy.
Very true. I think artists are always searching for something else.
I think all people are searching for something else
Had just sat down for dinner as this song happened to just by chance came on gently playing in the background. The steam still rising off the plates my wife had just set with a beam of sunlight coming through the window. My three children arrived laughing from horseplay smiling with joy all happening for me in slow motion. A magical assembly of goodness.
So....................supper was waiting on the table, you might say.
I'm 45, and I can't help feeling so identified with this issue. My most rebellious, restless, disorderly times occurred in all that beautiful time of the 90s. Today I listen to this song, standing in my kitchen, with my headphones, and it is impossible to feel nostalgia
I remember being 10 years old in 95 already into music heavy, walking into Sam goody in my local mall, and buying this double masterpiece of an album on cassette. My friends at school all had the cd version(with the cool crying/happy face) All of us at the young age of 10 had and listened to this album daily that summer of 96.
Being a teenager in Chicago in the 90’s, I find Smashing Pumpkins to be the most Nostalgic band to me. How I miss the days of my youth that are gone forever and never will return. We live our life in the greatest moments of our past.
Overwhelmingly beautiful & sad at the same time. Takes me right back to being a teen in the 90s, some of the best years of my life. Sigh...
+vtelopez492 Amen to that!
vtelopez492 Me too! I’d sit against my bed with my guitar writing music.. Headphones always on in school.. God I loved the 90s. Yet my curiosity of Billy’s involvement with Courtney Love is still a mystery. Her stories don’t match each other and I remember the day Kurt died.. but I still love smashing implies and believe billy is a prodigy. Best years of my life.
Celesiaeyes CCC
I miss the 90’s SO much.
@Jess White take me w u
Great song. Didn't mean anything to me in 1995 but it means a lot to me in 2022.
I know everybody says this about everything but I believe from the bottom of my heart that they don't make music like this anymore and they never will. A perfect art rock band that existed in a time where musicians could make millions.
I completely agree. I grew up with this album, and I doubt any other band has had such an impact on who I am today, as silly as that may sound. I will always consider myself lucky to have been able to experience it firsthand, because the whole album has such a strong emotional and nostalgic connection to my past, and I’ll always cherish it.
this song got me through my cocaine addiction and was clean on the other side.... nothing but love and respect to this band. you may have saved my life! gratitude isn't enough words for what you've gotten me through. thank you so very much.... 18 years clean this month..... bless you all, wherever you all may be..💓💛💜💖💗💙💚💟💞💝❣
yeah congrats on not doing drugs anymore
Bless you.i was years addicted to speed for years .now im sober for 3years .i was listening to this song years ago .felt really depressed 'now i love this song .i always did. Strange feeling .keep on going sober!!
Just beat a opiate addiction and came looking for this song
Congratulations what a blessing! You are one of the reasons you give people hope 🤗if you can change your life and say you can do it, everyone else should be able to also! She believed she could.... So she did😊

James Iha, the most underrated musician and music producer of all time.

Literally still my number 1 song after all these years!! Why am I sitting at work in 2023 with literal tears in my eyes.😢😢😢
Okay, I'll ask why??
What a wuss
Thanks to all of you in the band for this fabulous masterpiece. The entire album is incredible.
My Mother and Father used to play this song when I was in the womb!! They would put the speaker to my mothers belly back in 96 I'm 20 now.. Didn't know that tell I played this song in front of my mom !!!!!!!This Song means so much to me :)
Sounds like you had awesome parents, congratulations!
I was 25 when this song came out. Where has my life gone....
Who here would go back and live in the 90s forever if they could???
Yes
Jeffery Barbee in a heart beat 😌
I would definitely love to be 19 again (knowing what I know now of course) I would look after myself better for a start
Without question! I miss the 90s so badly!
It bothers me that kids , my two daughters esp, wont know what it was like. The peak of modern civilization before digital came thru and fkd everything to hell. It wasnt to far into the 2000s that every thing started to slide in a negative way.
I miss this moment in time. It's like I blinked and it's almost 20 years later. No amazing bands like this left.
The most beautiful song of the '90s. Up there in lyrical content and musicality with the best of the Beatles. Just genius.
That’s truly a masterpiece.
Words cannot describe such beauty.
I concur! The poetry of the lyrics, every shot so artistic. 🌹
I turned thirty-three today and waited for a long time to play this record!! Timeless song
Turning 33 this year, and this song has always held a poignant heartfelt beauty within my nostalgic soul.
Takes me back to dancing with my wife on our wedding night. We chose this song and "Dreaming My Dreams" by The Cranberries as our songs to dance to. After all of these years, I can't imagine life without my best friend.
Why do I always have to cry with this song?
Alex Saiz Coello same
every single time
Alex Saiz Coello it simply strikes a chord in you---I'm going to be sixty and think it's the best f--ing song they ever did
Alex Saiz Coello same. Every song single time
How not to? Its just overwealming...
This song makes me wanna be in love.
Me too, I WILL play this at my wedding when I find love
I did 7 years ago...I had a lot of "looks" from my Italian family lol
Constanza L. Ik how you feel. I just fell for my ex who was supposedly good and an outstanding gentleman. I guess all he wants fwb. I'm not looking for that anymore. I want someone I could call my own. Just a companion. No love. Just someone to where we can fall into each other. But maybe he's not the one either. Maybe there is no "the one."
Keyboard Commander ...it’s funny at 47..I kinda fell the same way. This album strikes a particular cord with me. Im drowning in the nostalgia...I miss days and people and times who are long gone....
This song still makes me cry. This is one of the most beautiful videos I've seen.. still...
This song is still so dreamy and dear to my heart after all this time. I have scribbled 'Tomorrow's just an excuse away' on my bedroom wall, to which my dad responded "Huh!" before admitting he'd done the same when he was a teenager. The Smashing Pumpkins are the sole reason I wanted to learn the guitar. Thank you for the infinite gifts.
I always found this video visually beautiful...
+Iman Joelle , IT'S CAUSE YOU HAVE BEAUTIFUL EYES, (^_^).
+Erik Orozco thank you!!
Iman Joelle , OKIP, :3.
aww girl that whole album was beautiful! I agree
All the imagery from this album is beautiful
Corgan is a real Artist
not only that, he's an animal advocate. THANK YOU, BILLY!!!!
Not much of a collaborator my guitar playing bud says
Without the influence of drugs, didnt even smoke. Which i think is pretty cool
And an egomaniac 😃
Favourite song of all time. Hits me hard. Goosebumps every time. Listened to it when it was released as a young teen in Egypt. Now in my 40s, living on another continent, and it still is my favourite song of all time. Thank you Billy for everything!
Billy can write beautiful songs...
This album was the soundtrack to my transition from a teenager into an adult. I know they've always said it wasn't a concept album but I could hear the thread of a story though the songs. It encompassed everything I went though and ultimately would go through. There was such a sadness in a realization that all my anger and despair would likely bring me to an ending not unlike the last few songs of the album... Confused, scared, and left with the empty husk of a life that I thought could turn out so differently. Rage is the legacy that all the young inherit if they want, but in the end, if we don't learn to direct the pain of growing up in some useful direction, before you know it you're grown and you have left youth behind. If you didn't rise up to your life, you find yourself staring down the barrel of the rest of your life without purpose, and to there comes a day when it is too late to make the difference you wanted to. You're left with baggage full of regret, lost chances, broken hearts and the ceaseless voice inside that can't stop asking "what if I had done things differently?" I still listen to this record and feel as though Billy Corgan was the true voice of our generation, even though Nirvana will probably always hold the title of the herald of our time. I don't agree. This record is the perfect snapshot of that moment and the people like ourselves who came of age in the 90's.
I agree
Agreed. Pumpkins speak to me FAR more than Nirvana. Nothing Nirvana ever did comes remotely close to the way this album speaks to me.
Good call
This and Ava Adore speak to me far more than anything Nirvana ever did.
That needed more than just a like.....thank you
this song reminds of someone I lost. she was very special and I just never knew it
It's my 33rd birthday today...did not seek this out. Just lovely, i've honestly never heard this before. The nostalgia and reflection is deep.
As a 46 year old man, who still doesn't know where he should be in this life, this song...
There is not another group like Smashing Pumpkins.
Charli xcx?
I do not know what it is. But this song makes me feel so sad and so alive at the same time
I wouldn't be who I am without the "mellon collie and infinite sadness" album..
...same
Ingenious, there's no other way to describe the 90's Smashing Pumpkins.
Honestly how can anyone not like any of the smashing pumpkins videos. True art.
I always loved this song, but never knew there was a video for it until recently. It's probably they're most effective, in my opinion.
Rediscovering them again at 42. Funny thing is they are helping me rediscover myself all over again 25 years later. So much has happened in that time span but they are just as powerful now like they were then. Great band.
How many absolute bangers can one group pull out of the ether? Billy and Butch have made more than one masterpiece..... My favorite group by a MILLION MILES. I hope if there's an afterlife that I can listen to them when I'm gone.
This is my first time hearing this song and it made me feel joy and sadness all at the same time, reminds me that life is beautiful.
Pure and unadulterated Genius from a time when this level of supreme musical talent was common. Looking back and comparing to today's offerings i realise how spoiled we was in the 90's. WHAT HAPPENED ???
Unfortunately it seems the intelligent and talented have stopped breeding
This song stirs up so many memories and emotions. Some sad, some happy. 20+ years later it still touches me. It is a beautiful song that can resonate with teen me and old man me. For All those in despair and alone. Do not fret or lose hope. Things will get better. Love will find a way to get to you.
Beautiful words!
We will make it last because we are all of everything that we have left. We love each other and we are where we are right now.
Speak to me in a language I can hear
Humour me before I have to go
Deep in thought I forgive everyone
As the cluttered streets greet me once again
I know I can't be late, supper's waiting on the table
Tomorrow's just an excuse away
So I pull my collar up and face the cold, on my own
The earth laughs beneath my heavy feet
At the blasphemy in my old jangly walk
Steeple guide me to my heart and home
The sun is out and up and down again
I know I'll make it, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you
And for a moment I lose myself
Wrapped up in the pleasures of the world
I've journeyed here and there and back again
But in the same old haunts I still find my friends
Mysteries not ready to reveal
Sympathies I'm ready to return
I'll make the effort, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
Tomorrow's just an excuse
And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you
this song is underrated . i remember when it was on the radio. wasnt on long though
One of the most beautiful songs ever written.
I just turned 33, and I remember listening to this song with my dad when he was 33. Rest in Peace.
My heart always flutters to the piano keys of this song. 💓
This song really reaches out and pulls on the heart. Takes me back 20 years and makes me wonder where has that time gone. Scary.. Such a great song!
Life goes by so quickly.. Enjoy it people!!
So many memories of people and pictures long gone. I miss the 90's.
‘Mysteries not ready to reveal’ is one of the coolest little vocal line performances ever
I’ll be 40 my birthday, and I always comeback to these songs, melancholy and the infinite sadness was one of the albums I bought to play in my 92 Honda Accord. With the CD PLAYER you plugged into your cigarette lighter ❤️
Hell yes. I had to use a tape adapter in my honda... good times.
Dude, me too. I bought it at Sav-On (Now CVS) Drugstore for $15 back in the days!
The saddest thing about TH-cam is that there's some absolutely amazing songs that haven't hit the reach they should have because they are old. This is one of them.
Just be glad you know this beauty
