The strings in this song always give me goosebumps.

This song is a love letter to Chicago, “the city by the lake, the place where you were born.” In concerts Billy tends to change the lyrics to “the place where I was born” giving homage to the bands roots. The classical epic grandiose soundscape of the song is like a renaissance painting during a time when music was very commercialized as a “grunge” product. I would draw Renaissance style art to this music and transcend to a place of Michaelangelo and Shakespear within the context of post modern art. Also, can’t go without mentioning the inspiration of “The Trip To The Moon” the silent film Méliès masterpiece. The Smashing Pumpkins are this generations Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

“Cherub Rock, Mayonnaise, 1979, “ are smashing pumpkins must listen to songs. And there’s a bunch more..

Cherub Rock, Rhinoceros, Perfect, DROWN

That album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, is still my all-time favorite album 24 years later. The whole album is one epic adventure and this song is the perfect launching point to that musical journey.

NIRVANA UNPLUGGED- MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD

I'm so happy you did another Pumpkins song. Now do more! :)

Pumpkins owned MTV when this record came out. This video, Bullet with Butterfly Wings, and 1979 were on heavy rotation.

The smashing pumpkins are classic 90s...they were brilliant... Should react to 1979 and butterfly with bullet wings

Stand Inside Your Love by Smashing Pumpkins. You will not be disappointed.

This is by far my favorite song (That was a Single) of the 90’s decade Every ounce of this tune is perfection

It's a classic to everyone, Preston.

Radiohead - Weird Fishes/Arpeggi - live from the basement

They do heavy stuff as well. Jimmy chamberlain rocks it on the drums

Smashing pumpkins- bullet with butterfly wings or zero. Please!

Dude Smashing Pumpkins are gold! One of those rare bands that have loads of good songs. Check out Mayonnaise. So good! Keep up the good work, my guy!

this came out when I was in 7th or 8th grade, and I remember every single time this video would come on MTV(yes, Music TV used to play music) I would stop whatever I was doing dead in my tracks, and would stand and watch this video. loved both the song and video. it truly is a "classic."

Smashing Pumkins: Bullet With Butterfly Wings next bro!

Mayonnaise or Zero by Pumpkins!

Gotta do the song "1979" next. Will def let you zone out again and just sink into the music and lyrics. Nice job Preston!

Tonight Tonight was inescapable when it was released. Literally every 5 minutes you heard it! Lol. After the video won all the awards we had a couple more years to live through it - but I'm glad it's getting some love from new fans, regardless. I've always loved them, but there will never be anything better than Siamese Dream. Billy Corgan was in serious therapy at the time and you can tell he was doing the shadow work through the writing process, FOR REAL. I was in Chicago (SP's hometown) with my bro and sis in 93 - our dad had just passed and we were there for the funeral. SD had just been released, so we went to the mall to buy it. There aren't words that can accurately describe what it felt like for us to hear that album during that time. They say that music is what feelings sound like, and they're correct. Especially that week!

Cherub Rock, The End Is the Beginning Is the End, and Disarm are personal favorites of mine.

Alice in chains- we die young Alice in chains- got me wrong(unplugged) Sevendust- Black Sevendust-denial

“Zero” and “Bullet With Butterfly Wings” shows their heavier side.

Listen faith no more... please 😂😂✌🏿

I havn't seen that video since I was in middleschool... brought back tons of memories

Superb tune. Geek USA next please

I agree it's a classic, the song and video always had a very magical dream-like vibe for me.

Smashing Pumpkins, Disarmed, Bullet with Butterfly Wings, Zero, Spaceboy, Ava Adore, Blank Page, Quiet, Soma

Almost all of their songs are that epic. Try 'Disarm' for another of their top 5's that everyone can agree on.

Forever one of my favorite songs. I remember being so in love with the video when MTV was still MTV.

Took my g-son to SP concert. He was pissed. He said when are they gonna smash some pumpkins lol. I said well their not... he said you mean we dont even get to smash some pumpkins! I never laughed so hard! Thanks man!

My boy! Awesome video. I love your genuine reactions and your deep love for music. Smashing pumpkins was one of the first bands I got into without my parents influence. My favorite songs besides this one are, Soma, Mayonnaise, 1979, Today, Disarm, and Zero.

Faith No More - The real thing / Evidence / King for a day / Midlife crisis

The Smashing Pumpkins - Soma

In the early to mid 90s, this group had some brilliant moments.

Makes me smile hearing you for the second time say that their name doesn't match their softer style. Can't wait til you hear some more from them and see their heavier side. That is what is beautiful about the Pumpkins. They have these nice softer ballads like this or Disarm, Shame, Luna, To Forgive, etc. But then they have heavy songs like Zero, The Everlasting Gaze, An Ode to No One, Jellybelly, Tales of a Scorched Earth, White Spyder, etc. One of the more diverse and prolific 90's rock bands out there. They have ballads, rock anthems and borderline metal songs. Easily one of my favorite all time bands outside of metal.

It’s great to see you discovering so much music, I remember hearing so many of the tracks you’ve reacted to for the first time myself. It doesn’t matter what the genre is, great music speaks to us all.

This is my favorite song, of all. The video is amazing too. "We'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight" "The impossible is possible tonight, Believe in me, as I believe in you, tonight" Those lines have stuck with me all my life.

I have such nostalgic feelings for the song and the video. Thanks for doing this!

I love how seriously you take the music. You REALLY listen to it. Smashing pumpkins are my favorite band, so it's always fun to see someone enjoying it. I just think of all of the times I've tried to show someone a song and they talked right through it. You are the best kind of person to share music with.

Thank you bro for finally giving the Pumpkins their due. These guys are OG. Everybody sleeps on them these days, but back in the day.....man, these dudes were in the middle of it all and really got things going. Keep exploring them, you won't regret it. They cover the whole spectrum of soft and gentle like this song...to kick you in the teeth hard prog rock. The lead singer, Billy Corgan, is a legit Guitar God...there's video of him literally shredding the life out of guitars on stage and leaving them to die. And the drummer, Jimmy....top 5 drummer in history maybe? For sure #1 of the 90's. Pay attention to how amazing he is.. and how as talented as he is he NEVER overplays the song. Can you tell I'm a huge Stan for them? lol

Smashing Pumpkins - Zero, 1979, Cherub Rock and another already said Bullet with Butterfly Wings.

Smashing Pumpkins - Drown .... the most chill song you ever heard, I know you're gonna love it... the groove is like so simple but it hits you right in the soul or something. they have a way with that.

Such a great song from the 90's when my kids were little and we were spending lots of time at the outdoor poo they are now 27 and 29.... good times and great memories....♡

Slipknot - Surfacing

You're a straight up beast! Love thon channel, King!

I love your videos... the way you react to the transitions in songs, you can tell you really feel music and you're really open-minded about different things. They have a lot of really good heavy songs too. They're really good at the heavy ones and the soft ones. There is a lot for you to explore. They were my favorite band for many many years. ❤

This song got me in my feelings. Brings me back to my younger days. Now that I’m almost 50, I think back on life more and more and to my formative years in my 20s knowing that they were so special. But when you’re in that moment, you often don’t realize how special they are and you question if you got the most out of the time you had. The start of this song just hit me hard today. “Time is never time at all You can never ever leave Without leaving a piece of youth” If you’re reading this and in the prime of your life, milk every single second of it. Take it in your hands and squeeze everything you can out of it. Have a great day. ✌️

Once again I’m grateful you did another Pumpkins song. There are so many more I think you would enjoy.

This is the most beautiful song in music history no doubt !!! No words 😘💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋

Preston I know you like Perfect Circle. The lead guitarist for Smashing Pumpkins is also a guitarist in Perfect Circle

Fantastic reaction! Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness takes you on an emotional roller coaster! Two albums of amazing music... Alice In Chains: Grind, Brother, Heaven Beside You, I Stay Away Pearl Jam: Rearviewmirror (lol, yes, one word, kinda), Crazy Mary Soundgarden: Spoonman, The Day I Tried To Live, Blow Up The Outside World, Pretty Noose Stone Temple Pilots: Interstate Love Song, Creep, Big Empty, Dead and Bloated, (ETA) they also do a pretty good cover of Led Zeppelin's Dancing Days Smashing Pumpkins:Today, 1979, Cherub Rock, Mayonaise, Zero

Man, I can’t tell you how much I love this video. Your face is the same face I made the first time I heard it, all the way though, 25 years ago. That first chord/drum snare still make me double-blink.

I agree with everyone here on their song choices. A must list is…..(some are repeats from others) Soma Mayonnaise Rhinoceros Spaceboy Disarm You will not be disappointed….”Soma” I think is exactly what you love about them. Whether you do a reaction video or not, you must listen to those songs. Also checkout Toad the wet sprocket…”walk on the ocean” Enjoy your videos, so real!! Thanks Steve

And one of the most beautiful music videos ever made (imo)

Thanks for your reactions bro! Greetings from Kentucky!

man, i remember the day I discovered smashing pumpkins it was a good couple of years going through their songs. so many good songs - Mayonaise, 1979, Spaceboy, Today. I should listen to them again, it's been a while.

Bro... I love your reaction to this song!

Great reaction man. You know these transitions you love so much well the Pumpkins are huge RUSH fans you know... RUSH I say. :)

Soundtrack of my youth. So many memories, flooding back. So many people, lovers, friends too, loved and lost, forever gone from this earth now. Truly a classic. This album though? (A DOUBLE album actually) Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness? One of the greatest albums ever made. Flawless. From start to finish. Still have the double cd album. That I Bought in the 90’s from the now completely gone and defunct company called Tower Records. It’s true it will never be the same. But the memories, they live and remain the same, forever. Thumbs up if you too have memories, from this song, album, times, years, that will live in you forever. 👍

awesome! more pumpkins!! anything from the 90s. an ode to no one, live. 1979, zero, cherub rock etc... too many to list. another great video 🤘

Man I hadn't heard this song in years until this popped up on my recommendations - it's going back on all my playlists!

I'm glad your seeing the different styles they had in their career. They could give you a ballad like this, and then turnaround and rock out like zero or bullet with butterfly wings.

The word gets thrown around way too much but Tonight Tonight is ICONIC

God, this song was the soundtrack of night time motorway driving for me in 95-96. I slept in hotels more than my own bed. I can still see the strobe of the sodium lights through the windows as I drove.

Your genuine appreciation for good music always shines through. Respect

So glad to see you get to the Smashing Pumpkins..... a few other great songs from them.. Mayonnaise; Bullet With Butterfly Wings; Disarm; 1979; Today; Zero; Muzzle; Ava Adore; Cherub Rock; Rocket. So many great songs from this band.

My Favourite ever video, love the Victorian period, great reaction mate.

Man! We got married playing this song. Great memories to a song that means so much to us both. Thanx for the reaction vid!

ZERO by Smashing Pumpkins. Such a killer riff

The groom in this song is Tom Kenny (voice of Spongebob) and his real life wife is the bride, they are still married to this day!!!

This is one of their best songs next to "1979," both are just so timeless and still just as good today as they were back then, and both have GREAT memorable music videos to go along with them. Highly recommend you check out 1979 from them.

The Impossible is possible tonight, believe in me as I believe in you, tonight. Great lyrics of a classic song. I love the homage to Classic silent movies.

The Smashing Pumpkins always switch it up, so anything you check out from them is always fresh

I Smashed the bell icon for this reaction. When you get a chance do "Lightning Crashes" by Live

Smashing pumpkins - 1979 Smashing pumpkins - perfect Smashing pumpkins - today Smashing pumpkins - disarm

Yes! Cherub Rock & 1979 are classics from them also! Love your channel you're so versatile it's amazing! ✊🏽

Its indeed a gorgeous tune.

Cherub Rock, Mayonnaise, Zero. Great reaction! 👏🏼✊🏼👋🏼👍🏼💜🇨🇦

Just saw them 6 months ago, and they’re still as fire as ever. CHERUB ROCK 🤘

I LOVE your reaction to this song. You’re beautiful bro

This music video is greater than any comic book movie made in the last 10-years.

Dude! Late to the party but this was our wedding song. Best experience ever. 12 years going. Believe!

Jimmy Chamberlin kills the drums here

Deftones - 976 - Evil...Street Carp..Diamond Eye...Battle Axe...or Rosemary Please!!

That part you like... makes you feel it's 2am with a good friend or a lover and your looking at the sky..

Hey Preston, thanks for reacting to another Smashing Pumpkins track. I came here from your first pumpkins reaction and have gone through your archives since. I’d love to see you react to more, I can see a lot of people mentioning the singles (1979, Disarm, etc), but in reality, it’s all great. Check out Ava Adore live on Jools Holland from 1998. Outstanding performance.

Smashing pumpkins- siva

This song is a classic. Brings me back to middle and highschool days. Da good ol days lol.

My first CD when I was 12yo. I'm glad it's still good - can't say the same for everything I liked back then.... Jimmy on his snare drum. God he's good.

Smashing Pumpkins is the best band of the 90’s! Iconic sound from the greatest decade of music

I’m so happy you experienced the Smashing Pumpkins

Yes! More Smashing Pumpkins please! "Disarm" and/or "Bullet with a butterfly wings".

They have so many songs that are epic!

I’ve watched them live 4 times, the most recent was about 2 months ago and they sounded the exact same. I was shocked. But so impressed.

youre my man, god bless you :)

Smashing Pumpkins - “Geek USA” ✌🏻

Preston, you have no idea 💡 (zero) how much of musician you really are, what an ear you have for music

watching you enjoy this masterpiece created an extremely positive vibe. it felt similar to the first time i listened to mellon collie and the infinite sadness back in the 90s when it came out. very important album to me and major influence on me as a musician. if you like smashing pumpkins' earlier albums before mellon collie came out, you should check out the band silvers pickups
