It captures a moment in youth where you think this will never end and everything was full of wonder.

This song is hypnotic, eerie, nostalgic, and captivating all at the same time....EXTREMELY hard/impossible to do...Billy Corgan is a genius.

I love it because only the vocal drives the drama. The guitars never get loud and distorted, the drums never start crashing, it's steady and sweet

Mellon Collie is such an iconic album. 28 songs, not a single weak one.

So crazy how those simple vocal echoes make the song something else entirely.

Oh my god, you've finally allowed me to solve the puzzle of that extra shimmery part over the choruses. For the last 23 years, I've sworn that it was some kind of crazy phasered-and-vibrato'd steel drum kind of sound, and now I know that what I've been hearing this whole time is just some magical combination of harmonics from the bells and those guitars. THAT SOUND HAS BEEN DRIVING ME INSANE FOR OVER TWO DECADES TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS. THANK YOU!!!
