The Smashing Pumpkins - To Forgive

Track from the classic Pumpkins Masterpiece "Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness.

This song is by The Smashing Pumpkins, I do not own it.

Something about the way they're saying "nothing is important" in this song feels very soothing to me. Like, a line like that could easily come across as nihilistic, but the way it's presented here feels more reassuring to me. It's like someone is gently putting their hand on my shoulder and saying "don't worry about that thing you keep stressing about; it's not as important as you think."

For those that don't If this song is played in a car with a sound system with sub woofers- it produces much more and deeper bass than you would hear in most rap songs. This song could easily help you win a bass competition. Forget the fact that this is an all around great song; it hits

Ten times removed
I forget about where it all began
Bastard son of a bastard son of
A wild eyed child of the sun
And right as rain I'm not the same but
I feel the same I feel nothing
Holding back the fool again
Holding back the fool pretends
I forget to forget nothing is important
Holding back the fool again
I sensed my loss
Before I even learned to talk
And I remember my birthdays
Empty party afternoons won't come back
Holding back the fool again
Holding back the fool pretends
I forget to forget nothing is important
Holding back the fool again
I forget to forget me
I forget to forget you see
Nothing is important to me
I knew my loss
Before I even learned to speak
And all along, I knew it was wrong
But I played along, with my birthday song
Holding back the fool again
Holding back the fool pretends
I forget to forget nothing is important
Holding back the fool again

I was so beautifully in love with this song at 13 ....it was absolutely perfect for how I was feeling at the time...

[janambro]

chills every time, when i hear this album i feel a lot, i felt asleep when i was a kid to this album i remember so clearly my cd player the emotions that i felt by sleeping to this. I remember i didn't want this album to end because i wanted to stop time and fix my life my childhood.

Alot of people don't actually think that this is one of the greatest double albums ever released not to mention SP sound can never be duplicated. My opinion it's in the Top 5 ever released... It's truly a timeless masterpiece

I remember and interview where Billy explained the recording of this song with a hollowbody electric guitar that had pickups that you couldn't stop from feeding back so they decided to track the song with this humming feedback on one of the greatest albums of all time. This is art, this is what is missing in much of today's music!

I forget to forget me
I forget to forget you see
Nothing is important to me

This song has a total Gish vibe to it. One of the best cuts on CD 1

A birthday song, with love from Scotland, wrapped up warm in a French-Canadian blanket, eating rainbow unicorn cookies :-)

what's the genre of artwork depicted in the backdrop? Like "Tonight, Tonight" paying homage to "Le Voyage dans la lune" - 1902, the artwork feels like something from that particular era, but what's the genre? It definitly has an affiliation with old children's story books; As a particular example, I own a Cole's funny book from way back in my childhood and it's filled with these kinds of illustrations - but what is it?

The fool withheld from the most cherished one...
