Buzzing with multiple and unique guitar tones and anamorphic vocal effects, “Love” plays as if the song has declared war on its subject. Corgan plows through a soundscape that feels deceptive, singing piercingly sincere vocals in what seems like a conscious attack on romantic love.
Indeed, these...
[Verse 1]
To my mistakes
To my mistakes of cowardice
She shimmy shakes
The jimmy jakes of consequence
Born of the airs and dues
My airs of madness do declare
That it's okay, it's love
[Pre-Chorus 1]
It's what you wanted to see
It's who you wanted to be
For what you needed to need
She'll make it up
[Chorus]
Love, love, it's who you know
Love, love, it's who you know
Love, love, it's who you know
Love, love
[Verse 2]
Machine gun blues
Her vacant rush is so steel
I'm unaware
Lost inside your visions
I got mine too over now
I got mine and I got you
'Cause I know you
You're love
[Pre-Chorus 1]
It's what you wanted to see
It's who you wanted to be
For what you needed to need
She'll make it up
[Chorus]
Love, love, it's who you know
Love, love, it's who you know
Love, love, it's who you know
Love, love
[Bridge]
And when I lost my mind
I knew I was in for a long night
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Can I look up to you as you look down on me
Can I feel in to you as you felt in to me
I can't help what you see, I can't help but to be
For what I needed to need, she'll make it
[Chorus]
Love, love, it's who you know
Love, love, it's who you know
Love, love, it's who you know
Love, love, it's who you know
Love, love, it's who you know
Love, love
[Outro]
Love solves everything...but love
Love was written by Billy Corgan.
Love was produced by Flood & Alan Moulder & Billy Corgan.
The Smashing Pumpkins released Love on Mon Oct 23 1995.
A straight up blues where I moan and drone on about the confusing complexities of l-o-v-e wherever sex is applied as cause and effect. The word ‘love’ is used low here, for if in being lucky and used lowly enough love too becomes a useful device in the high arts of illumination. Straight up the song...
