adore by smashing pumpkins is easily my favorite album by them.
there’s a darkness to it. idk how but they captured forever bleak. trying to make a beautiful story out of broken hearts and the loneliness of a lifetime in solitude.
“once upon a time” is what the afterlife would sound like.
all the visuals my mind makes up for this album are black and white.
“for martha” is about crossing over too. (see you on the other side)
but these are also love songs. these are the truest love songs possible because they’re beautifully toxic love that kills you and tears you apart.
and when the billy corgman says:
“lovely girl, you’re the murder in my world dressing coffins for the souls I’ve left behind. in time we must never be apart. and you’ll always be my whore ‘cause you’re the one that I adore. and I’ll pull your crooked teeth you’ll be perfect just like me. in you I feel so dirty. in you I crash cars. in you I feel so pretty. in you I taste god. we must never be apart”
I cry it doesn’t matter how many times i’ve heard it will always punch my gut with this feeling. I just don’t think people understand the measure of fucking love in this song.
and this is not about the lyrics only the music tells this story with a grim and classical elements. the guitars talk about this and the piano.
ava adore has this energy concentrated. ava adore. fucking ava adore ok?
ava adore
