Tear Jerker / The Smashing Pumpkins

This alternative rock band has a few tear jerkers up their sleeves.

---

• "Luna" and "Today" from Siamese Dream.
  • As well as "Disarm", a message from Billy to his Abusive Parents.
  • Let's not forget "Spaceboy", which is about Corgan's autistic half-brother.
  • "Mayonaise," too.
  • "Hummer"'s final third is as beautiful as it is disheartening, especially with the lyrics:
  Ask yourself a question
  Anyone but me
  I ain't free...
• "To Forgive", "Galapagos", "1979", "Thirty Three", "In the Arms of Sleep", "By Starlight", and "Take Me Down" from Mellon Collie.
• "To Sheila", "Crestfallen", "For Martha", ^note  a tribute to Billy's late mom, who passed from cancer "The Tale of Dusty and Pistol Pete", "Annie-Dog" and "Once Upon a Time" ^note  another tribute to Billy's mom all from Adore.
• "I of the Mourning" and "This Time" from Machina / The Machines of God:
  As the curtain falls, we bid you all goodnight.
• "Pinwheels" and "One Diamond, One Heart" from Oceania are in the Tears of Joy category.
• "All Things Change" from Billy Corgan's solo album Thefutureembrace.
• Billy Corgan's cover of "Landslide".
• "Perfect" is incredibly depressing.
• "Mary Star of the Sea" and to a lesser extent "Come with Me" from, well, Mary Star of the Sea, though in more of a Tears of Joy way.

I miss you, so.
