What moon songs
Do you sing your babies?
What sunshine do you bring?
Who belongs
Who decides who's crazy
Who rights wrongs where others cling?
I'll sing for you
If you want me to
I'll give to you
And it's a chance I'll have to take
And it's a chance I'll have to break
I go along
Just because I'm lazy
I go along to be with you
And those moon songs
That you sing your babies
Will be the songs to see you through
I'll hear your song
If you want me to
I'll sing along
And it's a chance I'll have to take
And it's a chance I'll have to break
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you, and you
I'm in love with you
So in love
I'm in love with you
With you
I'm in love with you, and you
I'm in love with you
So in love
I'm in love with you
I'm so in love
I'm in love with you, have you

One of my all time fav albums, still a must when changing my audio system...which is often :)
Many memories; such rich sound, so much hope and angst. Did I become that or did I like it because it was me?

Love this so much. From the first bar as soon as the music plays, I just feel good.

Yet again impeccable thread through those past 5 songs Rebecca & Bill. 💯🌹

I have never ever heard anyone play this before. What a kind reminder of a great record, and being a teen, listening to this over and over. Lusting over a girl when the world felt like it would end if nothing came of it.

Ah, adolescence...

You know, Billy C. can’t sing a lick, but somehow he still makes some Beautiful music.

Guitar in the beginning really sounds like Tracy Chapman's "fast car"

I certainly undersatnd your opinion on this, but I personally disagree.  I remember at 15-19 listening to this song and thinking that there might actually be a guy out there who could feel this way about me one day.....with the same intensity felt on different tracks, they gave a love song the same depth and especially with Soma as the lead in, this song was an appropriate ending to an album that despaired and raged about being weird....by giving a little hope that us weirdos could have deep profound love in our future

 

I love this type of writing.  Seriously.

I agree with this.  This album is one of those disks that is more than the sum of it's parts.

Phenomenal track, from an outstanding disc.

I love this album too. It brings me back to the times of a private school full of rich and bored teenagers, sons of expats, who didn't know where is home, made and lost friends as families move around, wasted and depressed in the grunge years. It may sound shallow, but coming from a small countrytown to the city, in that period I learnt to challenge the stupid conservative mind of the small town, learnt of death and loss, solitude and friendship, and started my journey towards what I am today.

Their greatest album and most songs the songs on it I would give 9's and 10's - especially the deep cuts.

I think this is a sincere, sweet song.  I was never a huge fan of this band but I enjoy a lot of their tunes.  I more appreciate the fact that a band with a technically "unorthodox" sound and approach could achieve a significant amount of attention and success.  I believe music needs more of that instead of these "American Idol"-type robots.  Well, just my opinion.

Terry Date (Pantera, Soundgarden) also worked/is working with them. Seems like they're getting input from more than one producer.

I agree, particularly with Meloncholy. It just isn't as good in pieces, but is one of the best albums I own.

This is one of the albums that defined a whole era in my life, namely the 90's. Maybe I am too biased to rate this song, since I would rate each and every song of this album a 10. But what the heck, it is worth it.

Well...it might be because 20 or 30 years from now people will refer back to The Smashing Pumpkins the way we do Traffic or Cream now. All were truly transcendant in many respects, yet none had a lasting career in music. This does nothing to lessen their effect. If you miss this, you're not paying close enough attention. Excellent tune from one of the best albums in the past 20 years.

This is a great song. I love a band that can do as well with quiet, thoughtful songs as they can with face melting rockers. The Pumpkins were good at both.
