Sweet Sweet

Sweet Sweet is a song from The Smashing Pumpkins' second studio album, Siamese Dream. It consists of thick layers of at least three acoustic guitars and Corgan's vocals. It is in sharp contrast to the previous song, "Silverfuck" both in length ("Sweet Sweet" is the shortest on the album at 1:38 while "Silverfuck" is the longest at 8:43) and in style, as it is also much softer.

Take Me Down

"Take Me Down" is a song from The Smashing Pumpkins' third studio album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. It is one of two songs written by James Iha to appear on the album, the other being "Farewell and Goodnight".
== Background ==
Billy Corgan explained in the liner notes of the 2012 reissue that "Take Me Down" was a turning point for Iha's involvement as a songwriter for the band. Corgan said he felt the song was a worthwhile inclusion from the very beginning, but thematically it did not fit alongside most of the other songs, leading to the decision to make it the concluding track on the first half of the album. According to Corgan, Iha "saw the demotion of his favored song to the back of the line as an unforgivable slight, killing his desire to contribute to the band as a writer of note from that moment on."Billy Corgan. Mellon Collie 2012 reissue liner notes
Greg Leisz, who provided pedal and lap steel guitar on the song, said of his involvement: "I just got contacted. I forget if it was directly by James Iha or the management. It was just that Billy Corgan was allowing James to do one song on a double album. [Laughs] He was like, 'Here’s this carrot. You can do anything you want.' He asked me to come to Chicago and I was there. I overdubbed on the song. He had Flood and the other producer [Alan Moulder]. They had two different studios in the same complex. Billy was in one room working on his stuff and James was in this other room working on his song. It wasn’t much."https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/greg-leisz-guitarist-interview-1172942/

Take Shape

"Take Shape" is a song by Pittsburgh-based hardcore punk rock band Code Orange from their 2023 album, The Above. Released on July 18, 2023, it was co-written and co-sung by Billy Corgan. Corgan's vocals can be heard during the bridge section of the song at around the 2:40 mark.
The collaboration was first learned about in June 2021 when Code Orange posted a photo of themselves in the studio with Corgan. Corgan referred to "Take Shape" as a "rocking song from a seriously rocking band."

Take a Picture

"Take a Picture" is a 2000 single by American rock band Filter from their second studio album, Title of Record. It features cello contributions from Eric Remschneider, who wrote and performed the strings for the Pumpkins songs "Disarm" and "Soma". It is also rumored to have backing vocals by former Smashing Pumpkins bassist D'arcy Wretzky, but this has not been confirmed.
The song became a hit at the start of 2000 following its January 18 retail release, peaking at number 12 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number three in Canada. It also became a top-ten hit in New Zealand, peaking at number eight on the RIANZ Singles Chart.

Tales of a Scorched Earth

"Tales of a Scorched Earth" is a song from The Smashing Pumpkins' third studio album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. It's one of the most experimental tracks on the album, and almost didn't make the cut.
== Equipment ==
Corgan overdubbed an unusually tuned guitar part over the chorus. The G string is tuned up one half step to G#, while the high E strings was tuned up one whole step to F#. Effectively, all pitches actually sound on half step lower configuration, as all the guitars are tuned down one half step. From there, the guitar goes through an envelope filter that "sounds strange"."Orange Crunch", Guitar School, April 1996
The bridge of the song features a regular bass, along with a Fender P-bass played with a pick making it sound more like a six-string bass. In addition are a few guitars that were played through envelopes, including one "real scratchy guitar". There are roughly six or seven different instruments being used in this portion of the song alone.

Tangerines

Tangerines is a six-song EP by The Smashing Pumpkins touring member and collaborator, Sierra Swan. The track "Peach" was written by Billy Corgan. The EP was released digitally through Bandcamp on May 14, 2021,https://sierraswan.bandcamp.com/album/tangerines and to most digital stores on June 21, 2021.
The self-produced EP produced the singles: "Tangerines", "I Want All of My Shit Back", "Troubled Boy", all with music videos directed by Swan herself. Videos were also released for "To the Moon" (with Swan directing) and the Corgan-penned, Linda Strawberry-directed "Peach", in which Corgan makes an appearance playing the piano.
== Background ==
Swan described the album as "a journey, with each song completely different from the next but each celebrating freedom in a fun, almost instinctual way." She wrote, recorded, and produced all songs except "Peach" in her home studio during the COVID-19 pandemic as a means to "escape and provide a sanctuary admist the chaos."
On recording with Corgan, Swan told Guitar Girl magazine: "Well, the coolest part about working with him is that we are very similar when it comes to how we work in the studio. We both, I think, don’t expect a ton of things to happen. We just let it happen. I am less anxious in the studio than I am in life. I’m more of a control freak in life than in the studio. I think he’s the same way because he also lets his gut tell him what to do during the recording process."
== Reception ==
IndiePulse Music called it a "multi-dimensional, eclectic collection of songs," noting the edgy, dance-pop vibes of "I Want All of My Shit Back" and the "ethereal beauty" of Corgan's piano ballad "Peach". Music Mecca explained "each of the six songs on the EP is able to stand alone, but still contributes to the overall mesh of the project – which is a rare feat. The eclectic influence of genres creates a backdrop for Swan’s vocals that not only shows stylistic range, but also a high music-IQ."

Tear

"Tear" is a song from The Smashing Pumpkins' fourth studio album, Adore. It was written for the Lost Highway soundtrack but was rejected by David Lynch in favor of "Eye".
== Recording ==
The released version of the song was recorded during the August-September 1997 – Chicago Trax Recording sessions. Once the band moved to Sunset Sound in November 1997, Billy Corgan attempted to rerecord heavier versions using distortion and over-compression, citing the lack of enough "loud moments" on the album, but these versions ended up sounding too much like the original. In a final attempt, he and the engineers attempted to use tape saturation to create harmonic distortion (whereby the tape head approaches its limit of residual magnetization), which they were content with. However when it came time for mixing the album, the saturation had worn off, and Corgan and Flood decided to use the original rough mix recorded in Chicago.2014 Adore reissue liner notes

Teargarden by Kaleidyscope - Vol. 1: Songs for a Sailor

Teargarden by Kaleidyscope - Vol. 1: Songs for a Sailor is the first EP of the Teargarden by Kaleidyscope project by The Smashing Pumpkins. The tracks for the album were released digitally throughout 2009 and 2010 and was released in physical form on May 25. The silk-screened box containing the EP includes a 7" vinyl single and a 2" leopard stone obelisk. The B-side of the 7" record has a groove that is playable, but blank.
A promotional CD was also released in May 2010 with "A Song for a Son" and a shorter version of "Widow Wake My Mind".
To promote Record Store Day in 2010, the band performed live at Amoeba Records, offered free blacklight posters to those who pre-ordered the EP from their local record stores, and released two limited edition 7" singles containing the album's first four songs. "Widow Wake My Mind" was promoted as a radio single, with Corgan appearing on WKQX in Chicago and several major-market stations adding it to rotation. On April 20, 2010, the band performed the song live with an Up with People choir on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Teargarden by Kaleidyscope - Vol. 2: The Solstice Bare

Teargarden by Kaleidyscope - Vol. 2: The Solstice Bare is the second EP of the Teargarden by Kaleidyscope project by The Smashing Pumpkins.
After completing the initial work, the band recruited new bassist Nicole Fiorentino. The single "Freak" was released in July 2010 and reached #27 on the Billboard Alternative chart and #34 on the Rock Songs chart. That same year, the band launched the Rock 'n' Roll Party tour, and went on to tour several continents, playing songs from the new album and promoting the free downloads. On October 12, 2010, "The Fellowship" was released on the television soundtrack for The Vampire Diaries.
The Solstice Bare, which was named after a lyric in their song "Tom Tom", was released as a full EP on November 22, 2010 in the form of a cardboard box with the 4-song CD in a letterpressed sleeve and a 12" vinyl picture disc with all four EP tracks and a b-side. Jon Stone of the American Songwriter reacted positively, stating that "The songs are not mind blowing, but for once, Billy doesn't seem like he is trying to prove his relevance to both old and new fans on every track. Respect is given to the song, rather than just the hook—quite an accomplishment from one of the most prolific and talented of hook writers." Consequence called it the "happier, more radio-friendly" EP to come out of the Teargarden project, adding that Corgan uses "unique voice to the best of his advantage."

That's the Way (My Love Is)

"That's the Way (My Love Is)" is a song written by Billy Corgan and performed by The Smashing Pumpkins on their album Zeitgeist.
"That's the Way (My Love Is)" is the second, and final, commercial single from the album, and was released to radio in August 2007, with a retail single in September. The song was played live on the Late Show with David Letterman on July 9, 2007 (broadcast July 13).
Billy Corgan commented that the song initially sounded like an outtake from 1995's Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness,Chamberlin, Jimmy and Billy Corgan. (Interview subjects) "Smashing Pumpkins - Zeitgeist Track by Track " (video). but it was slowed down and given a different drum beat in the course of recording the song. While discussing the song, Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin played a tease of an early version during the band's performance on XM Artist Confidential.Chamberlin, Jimmy and Billy Corgan. (Interview subjects) XM Artist Confidential. July 10, 2007.
Some of the formats contain a solo guitar and vocal live performance of "Daydream" by Corgan recorded on June 5, 2007 in Berlin, Germany.
When played live on the U.S. leg of the Zeitgeist tour, Lisa Harriton played a keytar at the front of the stage next to Jeff Schroeder.
==Critical reception==
Upon release, the single received mixed reviews, but reception grew over time. John Murphy of website OMH Music gave it a positive review, commenting that "while Zeitgeist was admittedly rather disappointing, it did have a fair few killer songs, of which this is one of the best."http://www.musicomh.com/singles/smashing-pumpkins-2_0907.htm In 2015, Spin ranked it at #18 out of all 315 Smashing Pumpkins songs released at the time.
==Music video==
It is set in a dull, gray, futuristic world. Most of the video is set up on a loose plot of Corgan trying to follow a woman (played by actress Ve Sidra Magni). The video then cuts to the band performing on a platform, still in the futuristic world, while images of the band (and a brief apparition of Paris Hilton) float around on screens.

The Arising! tour

The Arising! tour was a nine-date tour of small U.S. clubs played while The Smashing Pumpkins took a break from recording Machina/The Machines of God. Fittingly, the tour debuted numerous Machina-era songs. Shows largely had the same setlist, opening with "I Am One" and ending with "Today" in the first set, with three encores usually concluding with "Geek U.S.A." By now drummer Jimmy Chamberlin was back with the band full-time, but The Arising! tour would end up being the final dates with all four original members. At its conclusion, bassist D'arcy Wretzky decided to leave the band with intentions of pursuing an acting career.

The Beginning Is the End Is the Beginning

"The Beginning Is the End Is the Beginning" is a song by The Smashing Pumpkins. It is one of four versions of "The End Is the Beginning Is the End", and along with the main version, was included on the Batman & Robin soundtrack. Unlike the other versions, "The Beginning Is the End Is the Beginning" has a slower, gothic feel to it with different lyrics for the verses. It also appeared on Rarities and B-Sides and the 2014 reissue of Adore.
The song was used in a trailer for the 2009 superhero film Watchmen directed by Zack Snyder. Its appearance in that trailer helped the song break into the iTunes Top 100 during the summer of 2008 as well as reaching #53 on the Billboard Digital Song Sales chart, and The Smashing Pumpkins added this version to their tour roster in August."Smashing Pumpkins Song Boosted by Appearance in Watchmen Movie" Gigwise.com. July 22, 2008.spfc.org : tour history : The Beginning is the End is the Beginning. The band played "The Beginning Is the End Is the Beginning" through the rest of their 2008 tour and in future tours. Prior to its inclusion in the trailer, it was "a version of that song that never seemed to get any notice", but as Corgan ultimately discovered, "[certainly] the massive jump in online sales seems to indicate it might be worth it for us and for the movie"."Hero Complex: Corgan Talks 'Watchmen' Music" Los Angeles Times. July 29, 2008. Corgan complimented its use in the trailer, but joked that his fans "seem to be confused when the outside world appreciates our work".

The Canary Trainer

"The Canary Trainer" is the third song from Act III of the The Smashing Pumpkins' 2023 rock opera, ATUM.
== Background ==
Originally when planning ATUM, Billy Corgan had a different song in this part of the story called "X-Ray". In what was a rare move for Corgan, he "nixed the song into oblivion, never to be heard again" during the recording process. "The Canary Trainer" is what replaced it, which was only loosely based off of "X-Ray", if at all.
"The Canary Trainer" was originally recorded in the key of A. After recording all the instrumentation, Corgan attempted the vocals before he and engineer Howard Willing realized they needed to lower the key to better suit Corgan's range. Having already spent days recording, they reluctantly decided to use computer software to shift the song down a half step. Afterwards, Corgan still struggled with the vocal. It took three more shifts, amounting to two full steps down, before the song suited Corgan's vocal. Each time resulted in the instrumentation tracks to degrade further from their original quality. However in the end, Corgan was quite pleased with the "dusky, surreal ambiance" that aligned with the meaning of the song – a young person who is very disappointed in someone they had admired as a hero.
It's worth noting that Corgan generally insists on using analog technology the studio, and doesn't use comping or pitch shifting of his vocals, which would have been a much easier option to complete "The Canary Trainer".
The song title is a reference to how Corgan has at times felt like a canary – a song bird trained in a cage who is expected to sing on cue. Similarly, the canary in the song is Shiny, who Osirah believed would sing on cue when the stage lights hit him.
