Zwan - Jesus, I / Mary Star Of The Sea Lyrics






jesus, i've taken my cross
all to leave and follow thee
jesus, i've taken my cross
all to leave and follow thee

i'm destitute, despised, forsaken
all to leave and follow thee
and follow thee

man may trouble to distress me
to drive my heart to the cross
yeah, man may trouble to distress me
to drive this heart to the cross

i'm resolute, reviled, forsaken
all to leave and follow thee
and follow thee

jesus
jesus
jesus
reborn
reborn
reborn
reborn

so perish every fond ambition
god and trouble are all i've known
yet how rich is my condition
god and heaven are all my own
god and heaven are all my own

rooms full of salt
fault my pluck
and a poets charm so far, ever far
little stars that burn the holes in my soul

and everything just feels like rain
the road we're on, the things we crave
and everything just feels like rain
the nights i sleep, what's left to dream
when everything feels like rain

drift as i dive
find the deep
out of reach of all light
stars, ever far
listless tides along the changing shore

and everything just feels like rain
the road we're on, the things we crave
and everything just feels like rain
if i should sleep, what's left to dream
when everything feels like rain

  1. W.... a....

    It's still bad-ass

  2. p.... ....

    Great album. Timeless epic awesome rawk.

  3. p.... ....

    Crazy drumming. Epic eternal song.

  4. K.... A....

    A sonic masterpiece on par with anything Corgan ever did (and I'd have to say, his last by far). That second half in particular....woo! It's a real shame we didn't get more Zwan. They slayed live, too.

  5. p.... ....

    Holy shit rad as F!

  6. H.... U....

    なんだろねおもろいことなんもやってないのにいい曲だなあこの曲 全体としてとらえたとき自分にこのレベル作れるのかって問われてる気になる

  7. p.... ....

    They only cover U2 not zwan

  8. M.... Z....

    Owh Dear Sweet Jesus! Jimmys drumming is absolutely insane.

  9. P.... B....

    I listened to this song driving home after watching my grandmother pass away. I don’t know why but I had to listen to this song.

  10. L.... A....

    Amazing band!!!
    I was lucky enough to catch them at a quaint little gig in Pomona

    Broke my heart when they called it quits😫

  11. c.... l....

    I have mixed feelings about this fucking band/ song. FUCK. Why is it so wrong for someone who made SP to sound like SP?????????? Fuck you Billy for stopping and thank you Billy at the same time for giving me one more Pumkins song.

  12. T.... M....

    yes level

  13. S.... ....

    I came here because I couldn't find this album on Spotify. I remembered the amazing guitar in this song, but totally forgot how INSANE Jimmy played on this song.

  14. M.... G....

    The entire album is lightning in a bottle, and this song is just amazing

  15. c.... l....

    many have never heard... here are the blessed few. Goddamn I miss this .

  16. p.... ....

    This was Jimmy and Billy's talent peak. So awesome. Rad!!

  17. R.... B....

    jesus, i've taken my cross

  18. R.... H....

    Jimmy 😍
    So excellent.

  19. A.... C....

    Fuck Billy Corrigan, and everything he believes in, but goddamn is this not one of the most baller fucking songs ever.

    A.... C....

    You're just a fan..haha

  20. D.... P....

    This is by far the Best Zwan track - awesome, mesmerizing shimmering psychedelia at its very very best. This restless static suspence is just enormous

  21. W.... ....

    7:56 Pure Bliss

  22. E.... S....

    Still here and still fantastic.

    E.... S....

    Heather Hanks holla

  23. N.... C....

    Like, like, like!!

  24. S.... t....

    Watch, Listen, and Learn. Make it your own.

  25. A.... ....

    drummer porn

  26. B.... L....

    Yeah the second half of this song is a Smashing Pumpkins song.

  27. M.... C....

    This song is freaking magic. My whole body lights up whenever I hear it and the rain just pours through me. I can't put into words the physical sensations I feel while listening to this.

    M.... C....

    My exact feelings.
    I've had songs give me a similar feeling, but this is like being struck by lightning in comparison.

    M.... C....

    Well, you're not alone! I've been listening to this song from beginning to end since it first came out! (I love it in its entirety) And I still get chills in 2019 right around the 8 minute mark...knowing what's about to happen...

  28. d.... ....

    Anyone else feels like they are listening to a chainsaw all through Mary Star of the Sea? I adore the song, but why this horrible production?! Or is it just me?
    Billy, sometimes I hate your studio choices.)

    d.... ....

    I thought it had something to do with YouTube, but yeah. I just started listening to this album today, and while I think it's really good. I've almost turned off like 5 times because the production sucks, would love to hear it on an actual music streaming service (I know wishful thinking)

    d.... ....

    Fucking idiots, both of you

    d.... ....

    @michael morphites ..haha,yeah! What you said...but you have to remember, most of the kids hear are just fans, not special like you & i🤘

  29. D.... L....

    It was a cold night, maybe last weekend... My drummer played me this jamm.... i was blown away and unfortunately, and awkwardly...i had a very boner.... at this particular moment 11:38 thaa bass drum got me cock driving broo!! But honestly... the whole song got me grooving.
    Sorry for so many details but thank god for Jimmy Chamberlin!

  30. A.... L....

    Just an orgasm to my eardrums

  31. D.... S....

    dude soy chorizo

  32. t.... r....

    does anyone else feel that 4.00 would not be out of place in a rave? I wouldn't mind listening to this in a field somewhere with a few thousand others and some chemicals in my veins. But hey that's just me. Kids don't do drugs!

    t.... r....

    tony roberts write a tattoo on the eyebrow out to the temple or in toward the center?

    t.... r....

    “Kids don’t do drugs.” Yes, they do, unfortunately.

    t.... r....

    Shrooms🤘 that's my choice

  33. D.... S....

    all the glory of the nineties and an extramarital affair come back in March as a reward for that guy with more than 3 duis and me with zero duis haven't had a car in over 15 yrs..his wife wants me to tell a doctor that

  34. D.... S....

    urine love

  35. M.... P....

    pajo tho

  36. A.... S....

    This song (at least its second part) contains a clear reference to Bowie's Width of a Circle. Interestingly, Bowie's new song Lazarus starts with a riff that sounds a lot like the riff at 12:17 and 13:23

    A.... S....

    I'm all bout 806

  37. T.... R....

    I understand Jimmy is a trained jazz drummer, which explains why he is so good. I'm also a fan of prog rock and I believe Jimmy Chamberlain is as good as Bill Bruford in some ways. It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to imagine him doing drums for one of those old prog groups. It's like night and day when he's in The Smashing Pumpkins and out of it.

    T.... R....

    who in da hell is Mr.bruford

    T.... R....

    +Haunted Church Hill who the heck Alan white

    T.... R....

    Alan White and Bill Bruford were two great prog drummers. I know I'm showing my age by being into their music but played masterful drums for Yes, Genesis and King Crimson to name a few.

    T.... R....

    Alan White's drumming for Yes is pretty uninspired overall...

    T.... R....

    @Haunted Church Hill If you seriously think that White was better than Bruford, you gotta cut back on the drugs.

  38. T.... O....

    This makes me want to build a time machine, go back and prevent the Zwan group from falling apart.

    T.... O....

    *in morty's voice- oh jeez i dont know thomas oh man

    T.... O....

    Alan Forman alright morty, now you just gotta take that opinion and stick it wayyyyy up your butt

    T.... O....

    Only way it would be possible is just changing the line up entirely haha they crashed and burned so hard, its super depressing the talent that went to waste
    I just want the demos and unreleased stuff already

  39. e.... ....

    These christians...

    e.... ....

    Are amazing ...and most importantly aren't burning in hell with the rest of the hollyweird sodomites...😉

  40. S.... ....

    HO_LEE CHIT!

  41. p.... ....

    Jimmy, you are the best musician I have ever heard

    p.... ....

    @NoHeartAnthony I would have loved Oceania and Monuments of an Elegy so much better if he drummed in them. Not saying that Byrne or Lee are bad drummers, but Jimmy has such a unique drumming style that stands out to me. The only other drummer I like nearly as much is William Goldsmith.

    p.... ....

    +SoySauce HairDye I was thinking the same thing about those records!

    p.... ....

    Not even Jimmy could have saved the catastrophe that was Monuments, but Oceania was pretty on point...

    p.... ....

    VitoGuido I like Monuments.

    p.... ....

    @Mychael Darklighter I like the song, minus the lyrics, but not the album.

  42. N.... ....

    ...everything just feels like rain. 

    N.... ....

    @NoHeartAnthony Except for my balls. They're quite grainy :3

    N.... ....

    @ytp4life1 moisturise, nigguh.

    N.... ....

    +NoHeartAnthony
    awe that is just fucking fantastic.

  43. V.... ....

    This is the best Zwan song if you start it at around 7:45...

    V.... ....

    Agreed, Jesus shit is annoying.

    Last 6 minutes ! Enough said

    V.... ....

    I think you mean 0:00

    V.... ....

    Honestly the last half of this song is crazy,but without the first half it's not as good. The transition between the first and second part makes the song as cool as it is.

    V.... ....

    @Bryan Ross To you and original commentator I'm sure it is Annoying...It's just that you guys have stuck your boyfriend's dicks in your mouths too many times and the spunk has corroded your ears sorry about that! That's the thing about being a f** if the AIDS doesn't get you the spunk you gargle will eventually corrode your ears!😉😜🤣

  44. �.... ....

    durmerrrrr is awesommmmmeeeee

  45. p.... ....

    7:54 ->

  46. r.... ....

    they were great live

    r.... ....

    yup have to agree when I saw them they played the first 7 min as one song and as the finalie they played the jam part fucking crushed my soul but in a good way

  47. D.... S....

    Gish, Siamese Dream, Pisces Iscariot, Mellon collie, Machina, solo album, Zwan, Teargarden , Oceania....the list goes on and on. One of the best songwriters of all time. In the same breath with Page/Plant. Easily!!!

    D.... S....

    I used to compare his hymns to Perry Farrel but it's like porno for pyros Perry farrel

    D.... S....

    Better than Page/Plant. He’s better than them both combined lmao soooo talented

  48. J.... C....

    Put on your headphones, close your eyes, and pay attention to Jimmy's drumming especially after 8:22. Pure epicness!

    J.... C....

    I'm at the eleven minute mark I see solo other room vibes more important is the guitar for sure

  49. T.... ....

    One of the greatest prog songs of all time.

  50. m.... ....

    mary star of the sea, ride a black swan ,settle down ,font partie des meilleurs chansons de ces dix dernieres années

  51. c.... s....

    Yea too bad the rest of the band were not "good people".. They made some good music together.. lots that never got released

  52. E.... ....

    Gish will always be his best.

    E.... ....

    meloncollies no bodies is my favorite then mayonaisse

  53. F.... ....

    i do not give a fuck what anyone says. greatest guitar solo of ALL TIME

    F.... ....

    look into hands on the Bible by local h or the end of ICP miracles

    F.... ....

    I agree, but tied with starla solo!

    F.... ....

    @Danton Steele Local H is the most underrated band of all time! "Hands On the Bible" has some great guitar work. "Buffalo Trace" is another all time rocker.

  54. M.... V....

    does anyone knows where i can find the instrumental version of this? It was used at the movie "Spun"s trailler. help please

  55. R.... K....

    @Loaf001 jimmy drummed for zwan. he's on this track...

  56. R.... P....

    one hell of an epic song

  57. L.... ....

    One of billy's best tunes! never mind pisces iscariot.. or siamese dream!! ...Or any of the pumpkins albums for that matter!! fuck'n awesome.. as always billy! even without jimmy!!!

    L.... ....

    Jimmy was in Zwan!!!🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

  58. M.... L....

    "And everything just feels like rain," perfect for this wet Cape Town winter's evening. That crying guitar gets better the louder you listen. Poetry with melody. I like!!!

  59. J.... J....

    Such a great album- better than at least 50% of what the Pumpkins did. But too much of a change in style for the narrow-minded views in rock music.

  60. J.... ....

    This song is not the last song that was as good as the songs of Siamese Dream. Listen to The Smashing Pumpkins "Make It Happen (Just Make It So)," it's amazing and sounds like it could have been on Siamese Dream.

  61. J.... M....

    masterpiece
