The Smashing Pumpkins Oceania: Oceania

[mildseven]

One of my favorite Pumpkin songs of all time😍 I can't believe how underrated this album though.

[seekah]

A stunning title track...back to epic SP...this album is so underrated it's a crime.

[CaptainPronin]

One of my all time favorite albums. Deep lyrics, extremely moody, melancholic and sensual yet so powerful. I’m kind of glad that It didn’t make too mainstream - I don’t want to share this with too many people 😅

[ultrajayme]

the movements in this piece are straightforward and brilliant. i love this album. reminds me a bit of machina but with a deeper sense of reflection and hope to rise above. amazing songs here. if people can just listen to it for what it is and not for what they want it to be; siamese dream, then they can stop short changing themselves and see this album is extremely relevant and can show the indie scensters how they too need not be afraid of turning the guitar amps above 4 and break a string or 2

This song is like if The Cure did a jam session with Led Zeppelin. Billy Corgan is a genius. Just sheer brilliance❤️

[DavidGuardo]

sounds progressive! this is very cool. The drums are absolutely great. 

[omurdemir]

No one can love you
'Cause no one can free you
Lovers can't touch you
'Cause lovers might reach you, yeah
I'm so alone, so alone
But better than a wretched world
Better than a broken pearl
I'm so alone, so alone
Better tha I ever was
Better than a just laid cause

Night may keep you sworn
May bring you storms
From chest to stern
The jouney's blessed
The warnings circumspect
With dreams I've had
With dreams I've had
And still she's gone
And still she's gone

Night will fill your rest
Negate you best
With dreams I've had
With dreams I've had

Oh would I follow you
How could I have ever doubted you?
Sweet baby, nuture me
Sweet lady, if you please
Try the way on me
Try the way on me
Try the way on me
Try the way...
Skirt the cliffs of your illusion
Find the faith on me
My mistake as the last remaining soldier
Was to take the place of you
Love the way
love the way and learn
Try the way

Cast off your indecision
Face to face we breathe
Try the way
Cast off your indecision
Face to face we breathe

1:26 The wall of mellotron behind that soaked-through guitar was genius.

[pinkbrisingr]

Amazing music...Way to go Billy and new crew!!!  Top echelon artist IMHO.

[presentthepast]

i always LOVED that thing where it faded out, you thought the song was over...then the drums started slowly coming in around 5 minutes. soooo fantastic!!

[kidFLASH]

To those wishing this was recorded with James, D'arcy, and Jimmy, please note that Billy did everything on Siamese Dream except for drums on a couple tracks. Mellon Collie was a different story, the band worked together on the entire thing. (though there are parts that Billy did on bass)

[jg]

Pink Floyd vibe here. Can’t believe I don’t see other comments saying the same

[ftroman]

As he's essentially the person that wrote, composed, and arranged just about everything you know as a "Smashing Pumpkins song", I think you may want to reconfigure your world view, friend. He's not going to be making the same music he did 25 years ago, and while that does injure my nostalgia node, he's making some solid contemporary/modern music, and it's great to have him still around and giving us music. Right?

[foxlight]

This might be the first lyrically brilliant song I've heard in years and years.

[YourLordthyGod]

No hyperbole, no idol-worship. Just a great song, and a great new album. Thank you.

[lindaphillips]

This is the best song on this album. I absolutely love this song and the harmonies are excellent and so spot on. Everything about this song draws you in and keeps you there through the entire song!!! Billy Corgan is a musical genius!!! I've been listening to the Smashing Pumpkins for years.

[ShoegazeMilhouse]

Wonderful, this is what a dream sounds like!

[ryanmartin]

Love the ambiance on this album! It works so well.

[PerSotha]

this album is getting me through my mothers breast cancer, and spreading the word about to cause, not just the cure. stay motivated and truth seeking everyone <3

[CameronTBC]

This is a perfect song and for me, this is one of the best album covers I have seen in a long time. It captures the music perfectly.
