Cover art for Set the Ray to Jerry lyrics by Smashing Pumpkins, The

arguably the most beautiful smashing pumpkins song to be etched onto paper. the driving bassline propels you from the first note into the perfect late summer/early fall, windows-down, crisp air, snuggling-under-blankets-together-for-the-first-time love song. with drums that lift and cradle the melody, knowing instinctively when to support and when to drop into a comforting background, and vocal phrasing that yearns to convey the raw feeling of need, this song encompasses everything that is right in the pumpkins sound. tres bien.
