I'm not the world's biggest Smashing Pumpkins fan, but to Me, their song 1979 is a bona fide masterpiece.
By turns funny, then heartrending, 1979 mashes the indestructibility of youth against the inevitability of mortality and the quietly terrifying thought lurking in the background that none of it really matters anyway.
Few songs actually make Me cry. 1979 can, on the right (wrong?) day.
"And we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
The street heats the urgency of sound
As you can see theres no one around"
