Smashing Pumpkins - The Celestials Lyrics

Song needed a music video badly.

A song like this in the 90s and it would be millions of views and sales ... nowadays it goes unnoticed.
What happened ? What sadness...

Songs like this make me paranoid at how many absolutely EXCELLENT songs are out there that I just don't know about. The Celestials might be a top five favorite Smashing Pumpkins song for me and it only has slightly over a million views in over 7 years. I think Kanye West vomits up something and a few days later it gets millions and millions of views.

I thought this was a Placebo song when it came on in the background!! What a great tune.

Yea, I'm surprised how many songs from them were never really released or were simply overlooked by the masses. Songs from their past before they hit it big. Songs like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfFbL8WjvRg

I like listening to this when im depressed.

this empty place.... I can't even believe this fucking album. dragging shit out of me like a surgeon. if people really listened outside this community, we would all change for the better maybe idk probably not but I feel the power nonetheless.

Sonzeira

This band and their music is my childhood

I literally cannot stop listening to this

Amazing!!!

This is proof that Billy doesn't need anyone but himself to be the pumpkins but.....James and Chamberlain can only help him soar farther thats for sure

This turned out being my favorite song from them, but any idea wtf he is singing about? Seems like random nonsense thrown in to sound more sophisticated than it really is.

Imagine if he made a music video for this it would be so amazing!

On the day that you were born
They built an empire off a scream
I can't explain
Endlessly they'll set you free
Give you reason to believe
This empty place
I may seem unafraid
And I may seem unashamed
But I will be special k
Never let the summer catch you down
Never let your thoughts run free
Even when their numbers draw you out
Everything I want is free
'Til the end
'Til the end
'Til the end
I'm gonna love you 101 percent
I'm gonna love you 'til this ends

Take a chance if you should go
Face upon your happy home
The scanners wait
Selfishly they might concede
You were always on your own
You can't escape
I may seem unafraid
And I may seem unashamed
But I will be special k
Never let the summer catch you down
Never let your thoughts run free
Even when their numbers draw you out
Everything I want is free
You're not me and never ever will you ever be
I'm gonna find you and never run against
I'm gonna find you 'til the end
'Til the end
'Til the end
Never let the summer catch you down
Never let your thoughts run free
Even when their numbers call you out
Everything I want is free
Free you're free with me
You're free with me

101 % great!

Wow. I love you Billy

This song is great

your 🆓

Can no one else hear Polly???

It's shocking how good this is and how bad Solara is. Weirdly disappointing that song is.

Solara grows on you after a few listens. Having said that, I prefer this song.

>names album Oceania
>names songs The Celestials and Panopticon

we get it you listen to Isis

Ah ah so true!

I love this song! 😍👏👏👏

It's hard to imagine you can escape through a person

This is what I have always hoped a XXI century TSM will sound like...

Loved SP, loving it and always will !

This album was absolutely dreadful

Mooky Blaylock no

How can someone dislike this??

This song is SO DAMN GOOD!!! Billy Corgan is unbelievably talented.

i think this was a return to form for The pumpkins much more varied and interesting than their offerings after Mellon Collie

More varied and interesting? You truly are a fucking idiot.

0:07 On the day trump won xD

•!苦しむ lame

how is this band not insanely famous anymore?

@ÁUß Code he describes himself as goth, he kinda is. goth used to be more subtle

​@jonathan schulze D'arcy Wretzky became a terrible drug addict and got fired. Jonathan Melvoin died from a heroin overdose, and Jimmy Chamberlin was with him. chamberlin was fired for his involvement.
so idk what you talking about lol. his band had problems and he was the only one with a clear head. those guys were just musicians, billy was the artist.
too bad he got full of himself and puts out crap like this now. its like he forgot what makes a good song good, instead of some artsy crap

Well, it's very paradoxical despite having more information available to the masses it seems the masses have actually become Dumber...😕 so hip hop and pop rule the airwaves now... no, but seriously thanks to social media the younger generation has the attention span of a goldfish.... so they aren't capable of appreciating a band such as this.... it would take too much effort on their heavily corroded social media brainwashed minds... this is why we now have 72 genders😏😂

@jonathan schulzeNo, It's because Billy Corgan speaks truth! You never have to wonder what's on his mind he'll tell you! I can appreciate people like that they are rare most people are so full of b******* that they can't take a person like Corgan... people such as these are Mavericks and they don't bend over to 72 gender b******* liberal insanity I didn't vote for Trump, but I can respect him because I know what's on his mind...when he speaks it's chaotic and full of conflicted thoughts much like a real mind works in real time, not like some agenda driven scripted regurgitated trash that we are being fed constantly 24/7 like when I listen to democratic leaders that will say whatever it takes to get votes unlike Trump who has been saying the same things since the seventies it's the same with most celebrities they will say whatever it takes to be liked maybe you like people like that... because unfortunately you also have that constant need to be fake just to be liked and accepted by others I don't and I piss on fake attention whore sheeple... when Billy didn't back down and embrace liberal Insanity like most celebrities just to sell records and be liked by the fake Hollywood elitist profane disgusting butt fing disease-ridden culture I respected/loved him even more even though I've been listening to him since I was a boy...Cheers! 🐑<---you!😉

Because every generation wants to own his band, his version. Even if it means buying a Muse CD....

Now this is Pumpkins...this is a good song.

This is a disgrace on the sp name

One of their best

Love this song sounds to me like Billy's talking about how people in the music industry are controlled read the lyrics they're really good

Best song on this album, as good as any of their best songs.

But I will be Special K!

this song remind me polly of nirvana

Geovanni Pérez I remember that Billy was once asked, which song he would've liked to write and he said: Polly

*"Free, you're free with me..."*  <3

Let's make love

Lets marry

My celestial 💖

Free Free youre free.. with me 
You are free.. with me   me encanta esta cancion :') saludos desde Perú

S.P. the best!

amazing album after all these years!! 

All these years!!??? Like all five of them?

lol right? well now its like 7 or so...

kadimine meow

His voice is better now than 20 years ago! His voice was too screechy back in the 90's

Im gonna love you 101%..Im gonna love you till this ends...love you Billy.. 

Love this song.

Out of all the sea of fake and un challenging music this album really good.

God job Smashing pumpkins !

Good song.

Layered richly. I love it. Good job, Billy!

special k is a good cereal... haven't tried the drug yet

The cereal is great. Special K is my nickname and I associate it with the cereal. There is a drug by that name? lol Forgive my niavety but, have not heard of that .

@ColbaltChaos ya special k is also know as ketamine, its a horse tranquilizer... don't ever try it, its heroine times 10 basically

No worries, my love . Not my thing....Now a mojito ? Thank you .. Sir Wildboy. :D

Yes, and I am. ;) 

isn't that a drug? mmm special K...thx Billy

till the end <3

Amazing....

i love this album so much

The Smashing Pumpkins modern day classic!

Yeah man, this song's gonna be a classic!!!

Still got it.

Heck yea buddy! Great song!

Hermoso

Such beautiful music. I absolutely adore Billy and the Smashing Pumpkins 💘 I seen them on Guitar Center Session and they stole my heart. Brilliant, amazing, and surreal. Billy did an awesome job and I hope that they continue on this wonderful journey and produce more amazing music.

Anyone who says this isn't as good as old pumpkins, Billy IS THE SMASHING PUMPKINS, he is 100 percent what makes them, and this is a fantastic album!

@luitenant22 leaving out Chamberlain and saying Billy was 100% shows a deep lack of knowledge on OP part. In fact Billy would most likely call the comment disrespectful and ludicrous, he loves Jimmy and recognizes his insane talent and contribution. Iha he'll give the finger to.

@andyouf Jimmy Chamberlain. What a legend. A myth living among mortals. One of the best

Gave me a good chuckle

Billy makes the SP? You know nothing about this band and neither do plenty of the other posters.

It's extremely solid considering the longevity. Very few bands can hang for 20 years and put out an album that's consistent with their peaks.

Adding my agreement that this is one of Pumpkins nicest from my personal taste point of view. Haven't had a listen to them since their early 'Cherub' song album so it's good they can still make some melodic guitar style of stuff and didn't go too far in other directions which I wouldn't have liked. 

Whoever said MCIS was bloated was 100% dead on.  I cant listen to it at all bc the flow of songs is disjointed plus you have to drudge thru 2-3 bad songs before you hit pay dirt.  So was Machina and Ave Adore....bad albums that served as Corgan's musical agenda.  Not that I want 5 Siamese Dreams but albums that retain some reference to their roots.  Zeitgeist is underrated and I'm not sure why....
Butch Vig should've been at the helm.   

@J.B. Burke love my nerd hair. much better than this horrible album

Adore  is  a  very  good  album, very  different  a  siamese  dream  but  with incredible  songs, For  Martha, daphne  descends, apples  and  oranges, perfect ,blank  page, pug, the  pistol  pete.......

Bloated? Yet your album of choice is Zeitgiest? What a complete fucking joke and pathetic excuse of a so called fan.

Phillip Tripolone .......kill your self

Well, there ARE a few less than awesome songs on MCIS in between the absolute masterpieces. That's the reason I only listen to my playlist of that album. I don't know why OP's statement is shocking to you guys but I think most would agree if they're being honest and objective. The rest of what was said I don't agree with at all though. Anything between Adore and Oceania is shit IMHO, that's why this album is such a good comeback. Elegy was meh and the latest is fairly cool but it has nothing on this.

The irony of a great song like this is the irony of a mountain: The taller it is, the narrower the peak, and the fewer people can reach it.  So few will ever know this song.  :(

@Rémi Gauthier
Vs. a *billion* for pop bullshit songs.

@JoJo McJoJo and so? there's far better music then this out there with much less recognition, and you don't see me crying about it 

@Rémi Gauthier Maybe you should.

Very extremely true. I was a huge pumpkins fan in the 90's and even saw them live. Didn't even know they were still around and happily by accident found this song and am dumbfounded!

Nice analogy

Big Like

Love this Song xo

@jcc152509 name some  

It's changed that doesn't make it bad. "Ring in the new"

SHARE THIS VIDEO ON FACEBOOK !!! OK ??? GO NOW !!!

Muito bom

Velho e bom Smash voltou! Ótimo album

Gangnam Style has 2,652 times more views than this. God is dead.

have always loved this side of the pumpkins too bad it never got appreciated but i love it. kinda like having something cool no one knows about

This song gets better with multiple listens, much like this album. I didn't really like any of it at first but it's growing on me.

yes it has that mellon collie sound...you know, that sound of awesome pumpkins!

Comparing this to mcis.... lmao.

This song makes me sad because it's awesome and nobody is hearing it because culture is now completely fucked.

Pumpkins sdds *--*

This song makes me sad, because it's no good. :(

I think I had moments when this album reminded me of every other Pumpkins album.

This sounds just as good as anything off of Mellon Collie, and that is one of the best compliments one can give. This album blew my expectations away..never question Billy Corgan when he's using the name Smashing Pumpkins!!

Just as good? You are fucking deaf.

very...very...very good song

Are you being serious?

btw, the whole thing "you should do something new" is completely bullshit. The result is usually pointless try. Notes don´t care what year or fashion it is

Seems that Corgan is little bit lost, seems he is chasing the tune again. Once he got it. Good news is that if he keeps on trying he catches it again

Mto boa

my top 1 favorite song in this band.

Can anyone please make an Instrumental version, of this video?

for the people who says that Billy is the new Axl Rose. then now bow down.

As Billy says himself, it's only about the top 5% percent that sells records at that specific time. It's not about Niech artists that don't care what the 14 year olds listen to or what you listen to for that matter. Those who really express themselves freely... you know... like Billy?

Today, is therese 29th oficial siamese dream :D

What a fucking Song !

Great music and great album.

HE LET YOU BURN HIS SP? HE STOLE!!! HE'S OUT OF THE BAND!! FIRED!!!!



jk

this is my favorite song ever. :)

100% thank you

Im gonna love you

I love this song!
The Smashing Pumpkins still rocks!

BILLY CORGAN IS A GENIUS, THE BEST MUSICIAN ALIVE!

God work computer land.
