🎶✨📸FLASHBACK FRIDAY📸✨🎶
I just love the creativity and originality presented here from The Smashing Pumpkins.💜
The song ‘Beguiled’ is sung from an authoritarian viewpoint.
The album itself is a three-act rock opera about a guy who was exiled to space for his music!!🎶🛰️✨🚀🪐🩰🎸🩷
“Billy Corgan in a Kerrang! interview:
Well, on “Beguiled"… there’s different characters in the musical, but Beguiled is sung from the standpoint of the
authoritarian, so it’s kind of a reverse thing.
It sounds kind of like a classic metal chorus, like [Judas] Priest or something like, but it’s actually the authoritarian figures singing.
He’s saying, ‘Trust the message.’ At the height of the pandemic, we kept saying trust the science.
Having been in public life for 35 years, anytime anyone asks you to trust them, that’s when I run. So it’s a little bit like somebody be saying, if you just have faith in what we stand for, everything will be fine.”
