Default Shame

A song you can get lost in. A warm amber fog of longing and regret

I love Shame because nothing about it says HEY LOOK AT ME IM THE BEST SONG ON THE ALBUM! and yet, the music does all the talking. Incredible atmospherics. I loved in 2007 when they changed the chord progression, reminded me of the alternate chords to live Rocket from the mid 90s. Just another example of something the Pumpkins do not/will not do anymore, drastically changing up a song for live performances. I miss the days when Billy would flex like, oh we have 6 different versions of BWBW, instead of being like well to fill arenas we've found we have to play all the greatest hits every show

Good call. Shame is almost a forgotten favorite for me. Always put it in the In My Body universe.

I remember at the time thinking this arrangement was so good it deserved to be its own song. He could have dropped a different melody in there and damn.

An odd choice to abandon this song after the first verse on the recent european tour - especially since the crowds seemed to want to hear it.

a very perfect song i'm glad made the album, as I see how billy could have easily thrown it into the b-side pile (which seemed to stop surfacing at that point)

Shame has always been my favorite song on Adore. Nothing is as beautiful as the "Hello, Goodbye, You know you made us cry" outro. Truly haunting even after it's 500th listen.
