Such a touching song and video. One of my favorites to play, though I can't figure the proper chord/scale in the main riff (using Brian Obscured one instead).

When he sings "Say goodbye on a night like this if it's the last thing you ever do" now THAT'S trying too hard. Iha's solo album was too "pretty" for me... "Bah bah bah bah mmhmm bah bah bah bah mmmhmm bah bah bah bah do-do-do" What the hell? I expected to hear solos like those from Zero ontop of crazy gloomy rock songs. But instead I got some pixie prancing around a field of sunshine (and some tea) and flowers with an accoustic guitar over his shoulder, holding hands with the children of America. The video is awful, the songs are wussy, and the man is an okay singer at best.

you do realize thats a cover of an AWESOME cure song right? the "say goodbye" song?

duovamp
05-16-2006, 09:27 PM
Yes, I know it's a cover. "A Night Like This" is it's name, but when the Pumpkins cover things they usually don't try to copy the sound of the song very strongly. Like "Rock On" for example.

Yeah, the stuff he plays on Mellon Collie all sound like songs from his solo album. But I thought that he and Billy wrote "these gloomy little pop songs" together, thinking Iha was as sad as Billy was. Maybe he was sad, but he showed it awkwardly.

Yeah, I found that part out when I was trying to find out the lyrics to the entire 10/31/98 X.Y.U. I heard similar phrases to that used in other songs, so I assumed he didn't write that line.

well from my standpoint being the cheapskate pirate...i don't see anything morally or financially wrong with bootlegging the iha single since it is truly out of print...if i were to buy it where it was available i wouldn't be giving any money to james or the label...i'd just be overpaying to someone who purchased it from retail or from someone who already had purchased it from retail...i mean if it was a whole album and easily available i'd buy it but i dont feel comfortable paying 15 or so bucks to someone who spent around 5 bucks on it
