RE: Pick the Song that makes you feel #Aliveandthriving, May 16, 2025

in We Are Alive Tribe3 days ago

Hey, almost missed this fun challenge this week, but just in time.
I'll stay in the mid-90s period with a song quite famous at the time, and I think the best Smashing Pumpkins song: Bullet with Butterfly Wings. Like I mentioned, I was still figuring out the music I really liked, and this one was a bit in-between genres with grunge sounds, rock, maybe even a bit metal. Some lyrics almost spoken, while others shouted. And more importantly, the build-up from the intro lyrics 'The world is a vampire' to the infamous chorus 'Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage', that was just perfect! I was much older when I finally saw the Smashing Pumpkins live, but that song was still very powerful, and opened up the mosh pit. That is cool to go down the musical memory lane, I might have to spotify this in the next few days!

Have fun y'all!

That’s such a classic track.
The Smashing Pumpkins really nailed it with "Bullet with Butterfly Wings."
The way it transitions from those haunting intro lyrics to the explosive chorus is unforgettable.
I totally get what you mean about it being a mix of genres—it’s got that raw energy that sticks with you.
Seeing them live must’ve been incredible.
Good luck in the draw.
