Once when we were in high school Johnny broke up with me. I can't remember much about that time now, except that I was A WRECK. Crying... sick... being totally dramatic and pulling totally dramatic teenager stunts. We ended up getting back together on Halloween. I can't say for sure that we listened to this song that night, but I would be surprised if we didn't. We lived and breathed this album for years. Anyway, remind me to tell you more about our awesome breakup sometime. I ended up getting a death-threat out of the deal. ;)
this was the first cd i bought, back when i was 11. it is still one of my absolute favorite albums. :) my four year old is really into police right now, and so we listen to 'lily' a lot, because he thinks it's a police song. :)
Haha oh the memories of this song. I remember being a freshman in high school and for whatever reason you were the coolest person ever if you went to their concert when they came to town. My parents wouldnt let me go but my older brother did and I would always go in and steal his STP concert tshirt so I could wear it to school. Oh my, all the ridiculous things we do to fit in. lol
the smashing pumpkins was james favorite band in high school... i think he has over like 45 albums of theirs including japan releases and singles and such. obsessed. he dated another girl all through school, but when he came back from a concert of theirs and brought me a tshirt, i knew he liked me. ha ha. he now keeps all of his pumpkins stuff in a special box in our closet so it doesnt get messed with... so cute! and oh man, the break up dramas of school were insane! id love to hear more of this story sometime...
LOVE the Smashing Pumpkins! I squealed a little when I saw the Pumpkins on your blog today, because I rarely find other bloggers who listen to the same bands that I do. (Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough!) :]
I LOVE THAT SONG. It's such a good video too. That is my absolute favorite Pumpkins song. I didn't realize you guys had been together for that long. that's amazing! I love high school sweetheart stories.
pandora played me this song over the weekend and it brought back such awesome memories of the amazing music of the 90s. i love where a single song can take you.
I actually got back together (after we broke up for a bit) with my now-husband on Halloween too! and I agree, although I was a wreck it was good for us.
who didnt dig the pumpkins back in the day. ya know, i saw this awesome pin on pinterest that said, i still the the 90's was 10 years ago. I KNOW RIGHT?!?!?! ahhhhh, what a great decade!
This is one of my favorite nostalgia albums - I must have listened to it a thousand times in high school, and it always takes me right back! This is also one of the greatest videos ever made - love, love love.
Music that makes us nostalgic could be dangerous, but I'm so glad it worked out! I love this song. 1979 is my all time favorite song. Fantastic taste in music!! (or at least the kind i love, haha!)
I really wanna know how a break up can be awesome.
ReplyDeletegreat song
Happy Halloween!
