My Latest Song Obsession

I just got "Siamese Dream" again this weekend. It was like greeting an old, cherished friend after a long, long absence from my life. There is a song on it that I don't know if I ever paid any attention to before because I was obviously deaf or stupid back then. I have been absolutely obsessed with it ever since. I think the lyrics are pretty meaningful, and it goes from this blistering guitar riff to the most beautiful, melodic love song for about the last 2 and a half minutes. Truly genius. It gives me chills every time I listen to it. Genius!!

Hummer

by

Smashing Pumpkins

Faith lies in

The ways of sin

I chased the charmed

But I don't want them anymore

And in their eyes

I was alive

A fool's disguise

Take me away from you

Shame my tongue

Fat with promise all along

But when I woke up from that sleep

I was happier than I'd ever been

When you decide

That your life is a prize

Renew and rivive

It's alright honey

It's alright, yeah

Happiness will make you wonder

Will I feel OK?

It scares the disenchanted

Far away

Yeah I want something new

But what am I supposed to do about you

Yeah I love you, it's true

Life's a bummer

When you're a hummer

Life's a drag

Ask yourself a question

Anyone but me

I ain't free
Ask yourself a question

Anyone but me

I ain't free

Do you feel
Love is real?
