I dunno, I'm looking at tone more than actual lyrical content. At least it soundssad, right?
And love songs can be sad.

This is just it, what makes a song sad? Adore sound sad but it's one of the most positive albums when you read the lyrics. I give you that TCTOM sounds sad in tone but it has depths. Jellybelly rawks out but Billy sings about life making him so sick he wants to die.

Well I think it's kind of unfair to the Pumpkins to describe a whole album with a blanket term like "sadness." We all know that there are different types/degrees of sadness--it just depends on the particular type you're looking for.

Yeah.... Today is also a good example of that.

Adore was written as Billy says, "about all the different permutations of love." I'm just that includes its happy and sad aspects. Love can be both a joyous thing and a wretched thing, and both sentiments can be conveyed both sonically and lyrically, which is what I think Billy tried to do and James and D'arcy tried to enhance.

With that sad, Tear seems to be a very sad song in both a sonic and lyrical sense.

Yes, I was just about to make that point. Adore as an album is meant to describe types of love, just so happens that love generally ends in pain.

Why is that do you suppose?
A lack of faith maybe?
In your other, or in yourself?

I still don't get Adore linked with sadness. Most of the lyrics don't really fit in with sadness.

If i where to choose one, it would have to be I Fall (Studio). Now that is a sad song. Or i'd go with Crestfallen which is very haunting. Possibly even Jellybelly.


If you dont really listen to jellybelly, you would never know it seems sad

Re: Sad TSP song 2 Years, 1 Month ago  
True, but sadness isn't all about the tone of the song:

"living makes me sick
so sick i wish i'd die"

"Pink ribbon scars
That never forget
I tried so hard
To cleanse these regrets
My angel wings
Were bruised and restrained
My belly stings"

"why do the same old things keep on happening?
because beyond my hopes there are no feelings"

Because life has to maintain balance. Therefor, the amount of joy that a person brings to your life when they come, must equal to the amount of pain you feel when they leave.

Re: Sad TSP song 2 Years, 1 Month ago  
I was just about to say that, indeed! Thirty-three is a really sad song, but I mean really sad. It is obviously about love, but to me, it's really sad, I kinda pity Billy when I read those lyrics. It's even kinda pathetic.

Well, I guess it isn't really a "sad" song per se, but it's a pretty mellow song.
