Default A list of Smashing Pumpkins love songs

I was out and about today, and it struck me, Smashing Pumpkins never write typical love songs... For a guy who sings about lovers all of the time, they aren't traditional love songs.

So I started thinking about what love songs SP has put out and the only 2 I could come up with were Spangled and Anti-Hero. I'm probably forgetting obvious titles, but he hasn't really wrote love songs until the reformation, right?

Knew a girl in college who chose to have Luna as her wedding first dance song.

Muzzle.

Perfect is also a love song, it's about a divorce.

When I mentioned love songs, I meant the typical song about being in love or longing for a woman/man.

While love is a typical theme for SP songs, they're not usually traditional in that they're about longing for a certain person.

I think a lot of them are about longing. Billy's just a great lyricist so they don't sound like every other love song.

Let Me Give The World to you is a great call and a very obvious one!... I can't believe that didn't cross my mind!

Isn’t it weird that The Cure never wrote any songs about being depressed?

True. The thought initially crossed my mind when I was out and about and listening to some Weezer. I believe the stretch of songs was like Susanne, You Gave Your Love To Me Softly followed by Devotion and I was thinking "Man, Cuomo really knows how to write a love song" And I started thinking about SP, and it struck me how they don't really have many obvious love songs... And most of the ones they do are mostly from 2007 and on.

Eddie Vedder is another one like Billy who can write love songs that aren't obvious at all. Like to me Better Man and Corduroy are love songs, but a casual radio listener might not get that from those.

Yeah, Pearl Jam is actually another band I thought about when I was thinking about this. Typically a lot of the alt-rock bands don't write love songs but SP is quite different in that they're so overly emotional... Not to say that the grunge bands weren't, but they were often channeling more of an angry energy.

I dunno. It's hard for me to articulate what I mean. While the Pumpkins have a ton of songs that revolve around romance, they don't typically have the type of songs about just wanting "to be" with someone.

Although Boz has said it's supposed to mean "Let me give the world to you, because you'll just throw it away anyway".

this thread is actually fuzzyroes at his best.

he's managed to just make a thread that is dumb and pointless but didn't actually directly insult groups of people (except maybe their intelligence but what can you do) or reach new levels of stupidity and narrow-mindedness like he normally does. well done. I'm going to close it now to keep it that way
