	Track 12 from Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness Length: 00:03:44 Year: 0000
	Track Description: "My life has been extraordinary, blessed and cursed and won..." The lyrical content of this song has been an influential force behind my life since it came out while I was in the beginning throes of adolescence. The Pumpkins were my first musical love, and this song still resonates. In fact I scrawled the lyrics inside the cover of the journal I kept while backpacking Europe. I highly recommend this song to anyone and everyone. "And I knew the silence of the world..." SHOW LESS

	Track 7 from Blue Album Length: 00:04:18 Year: 1994
	Track Description: Some of my favorite moments with friends have been we've all erupted into song.

	Just to let the future know that we knew we had it coming. "If there's one thing you can say about mankind, th [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 1 from Blood Money Length: 00:04:25 Year: 0000
	Track Description: Just to let the future know that we knew we had it coming. "If there's one thing you can say about mankind, there's nothing kind about man.
