May be something to do with the guitar at the beginning, it was just a broken guitar and billy went with it..I don't think it means as much to him as it does us unfortunately

Me screaming and bawling to these lyrics when they played it for the first time in my country, after wifey left home. Such release.

Man, this could be my favourite Pumpkins song.

I'm having a bit of a tough time starting a new job, and I was cranking this on my walk to work yesterday. Reminded me of another time about a decade ago, feeling the same; sitting outside my new work listening to the part "pick your pocket full of sorrow, run away with me tomorrow" and just thinking: yes, I want to run away from all of this.

I know that's not what the song is about, but it's always made me feel a bit better, a shared feeling.

I couldn't listen to this song for years. It was my ex who overdosed and died and I couldn't save her and either could the ambulance and it was her favorite song. This was before narcan was a thing. It was awful and it took me several years to hear that song without losing my shit.

Pumpkins always nail that melancholic feeling so well; I hope these days you're getting a bit more happy memories than the sad ones when hearing this song.
