Ahhhh man this song while I was a depressed teenager was soooo soothing and comforting. Thank you Smashing Pumpkins and Billy Corgan for this masterpiece of an album.
Haha. I'm 40 and have been dealing with depression and anxiety since forever. When this album came out I was a teen and put this song on repeat while I went to bed just for that reason.
I had this double album at the end of grade school and its one of the very few albums that i could listen all the way through to all the songs! I had the album compilation all the way to my mid-thirties then someone did something with it!
The title "Cupid de Locke" is a reference to Matthew Locke (1621-1677), an English baroque composer, who wrote the score to "Cupid and Death" in 1653, a kind of ballet in which Cupid fires arrows to make people fall in love, and Death fires arrows which bring about a person's demise. They get their arrows mixed up and hilarity ensues. Two men are fighting a duel and instead of killing each other, they fall in love and start dancing! Sadly, young lovers are killed... of course there's more
Cupid hath pulled back hi sweetheart's bow To cast divine arrows into her soul To grab her attention swift and quick Or morrow the marrow of her bones be thick With turpentine kisses and mistaken blows See the devil may do as the devil may care He loves none sweeter as sweeter the dare Her mouth the mischief he doth seek Her heart the captive of which he speaks So note all ye lovers in love with the sound Your world be shattered with nary a note Of one cupids arrow under your coat And in the land of star crossed lovers And barren hearted wanderers Forever lost in forsaken missives and Satan's pull We seek the unseekable and we speak the unspeakable Our hopes dead gathering dust to dust In faith, in compassion, and in love
I am a japanese, this song always remands me SAKURA(Cherry blossom) Sakura is japanese soul flower, its so beautiful and so sad.. noushwoushiywoo good video!! good job!! Seeing this video, I believe that you want to express.
I've noticed whenever I see Japanese people on the internet, they always say "I'm a Japanese". Not "I'm Japanese" or "I'm a Japanese person". I never really understood why they do that but I notice it every time. Please don't think this is a mean spirited critique of you or your English, it's just something I always notice.
Yes, it's a half tone higher, and a bit faster. It really makes a big difference, it's much less relaxed and beautiful. Go listen to this song on any other youtube post to hear its original speed and pitch.
"And in the land of star crossed lovers And barren hearted wanderers Forever lost in forsaken missives and satan's pull We seek the unseekable and we speak the unspeakable Our hopes dead gathering dust to dust In faith, in compassion, and in love"
I don’t think this is an official video, but I feel like this video is beautiful in a manner that is on par with “tonight, tonight.” Literally all I really have to say is good job.
noushywoushywoo tonight tonight is still one of the most beautiful music videos ever. I love the work of George Melies and they did a fantastic job recreating it.
Pretty faced fairies , endless summer twilights, ponds that are deeper than you think , and that butterfly feeling you feel when you are infactuated with someone!
Y en la tierra de las estrellas cruzadas de los amantes …y las áridas corazonadas de vagabundos… …siempre perdidas en olvidadas cartas que envía Satán Buscamos lo impensable y hablamos lo incontable Nuestras esperanzas mueren juntas, polvo al polvo En la fe, en la compasión, en el amor
me too Stepheny Miller! I saw them a couple of years ago but I'd give anything to have seen them in the mellon collie days. I was only two when that album came out though unfortunately haha!
I still have my ticket stub from the mellon collie tour september '96 in Toronto! Killer show. I was 13 then & probably one of the youngest (if not the youngest) in the stadium at maple leaf gardens. I've kept my ticket stub wrapped in saran wrap, tucked into the liner notes of the MCIS booklet since then....sadly, it hasn't stopped the ink from fading. But anyways, Explore everything pumpkins, so many amazing songs... spanning so many different genres. Still my absolute favourite band & I'm now 32.
+Badfish2 This whole album is quite a trip while on acid...spend more than one acid and mushroom trip back in the mid 90's listening to this whole record from beginning to end. Try Porcelina of the Vast Oceans, just mindblowing. The Orb's "Orblivion" was another favorite during trips if you like the ambient vibe...
As big of a Smashing Pumpkins fan as I am, and as much as I wore out this CD (both) when it came out, how did I forget about this amazing song? Excellent work on the video!
I dreamt something similar a couple nights ago that channels the same theme in this video! Fantastic job! You really paint the same portrait i imagine everytime i listen to this song. Everything is gorgeous thanks for making dreams come true!!! ❤
@noushywoushywoo, Your art is beautiful. You did a fantastic job with the video. Kudos for using one of The Smashing Pumpkins greatest songs. Cheers from the U.S.
Cupid hath pulled back his sweetheart's bow, to cast divine arrows into her soul, to grab her attention swift and quick, or morrow the marrow of her bones be thick....heart melting poetry right there
Lyrics Cupid hath pulled back hi sweetheart's bow To cast divine arrows into her soul To grab her attention swift and quick Or morrow the marrow of her bones be thick With turpentine kisses and mistaken blows See the devil may do as the devil may care He loves none sweeter as sweeter the dare Her mouth the mischief he doth seek Her heart the captive of which he speaks So note all ye lovers in love with the sound Your world be shattered with nary a note Of one cupids arrow under your coat And in the land of star crossed lovers And barren hearted wanderers Forever lost in forsaken missives and Satan's pull We seek the unseekable and we speak the unspeakable Our hopes dead gathering dust to dust In faith, in compassion, and in love
hey! thank you :) yeah i was told to change the key so it didn't get picked up and removed by youtube but they found it anyway and i managed to dispute the copyright claims!
I love finding people as emotional as I am about this song in the comments. I'm crying "And in the land of star crossed lovers And barren hearted wanderers Forever lost in forsaken missives and Satan's pull We seek the unseekable and we speak the unspeakable Our hopes dead gathering dust to dust In faith, in compassion, and in love.“
Really good video!!!! I've watched it twice today!!! Never saw the original video for this song and assumed it was the video at first Only thing I would change is the hose at 0:47 which is not a big deal but it rips you out of the fantasy element briefly Really well done!!!!!!!!!
youtube has deleted my beautifully long piss take of a pretentious description! GUTTED anyways this is a video i made about the feeling and realisation of being in love with the beautiful Cupid De Locke by The Smashing Pumpkins :)
Ahhhh man this song while I was a depressed teenager was soooo soothing and comforting. Thank you Smashing Pumpkins and Billy Corgan for this masterpiece of an album.
My vocal cords let me sound exactly like him in most songs he’s made and it’s helping me through my depression as a teenager lmfaoo
Same here

Wow that's interesting
Wow thank you. He always puts his references in plain sight like that- for those who dare venture into the written word
Easily one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard from anyone.
It’s 2021... do you still have it?!
Yes sir
Agreed. This song is just pure art. What an achievement.
this album is getting stronger and stronger more and more you listen to it
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. I still have the double cassette my mom got for me back when it first came out.
You're pretty stupid
+Roni Rivero how is he stupid?
cool
Ouch
keep it is a treasure !
Cupid hath pulled back hi sweetheart's bow
To cast divine arrows into her soul
To grab her attention swift and quick
Or morrow the marrow of her bones be thick
With turpentine kisses and mistaken blows
See the devil may do as the devil may care
He loves none sweeter as sweeter the dare
Her mouth the mischief he doth seek
Her heart the captive of which he speaks
So note all ye lovers in love with the sound
Your world be shattered with nary a note
Of one cupids arrow under your coat
And in the land of star crossed lovers
And barren hearted wanderers
Forever lost in forsaken missives and Satan's pull
We seek the unseekable and we speak the unspeakable
Our hopes dead gathering dust to dust
In faith, in compassion, and in love
Kind of weird but I used to love listening to this high. I still do, but I used to too
Rest in peace Mitch hedberg
I am a japanese, this song always remands me SAKURA(Cherry blossom)
Sakura is japanese soul flower, its so beautiful and so sad..
noushwoushiywoo good video!! good job!!

Sounds a pitch higher than the album version.
I can't explain why I love this song so much. It put me to sleep many times as a teen
yeah it is, to try and avoid it getting taken down haha! it's such a beautiful song
Good on you! It sounds a bit more heavenly that way. And that's you in the video and you made it? Holy mackerel, very nice
Big Core Mk X thank you :) yes, filmed it years ago when I was meant to be revising for exams haha!
Yes, it's a half tone higher, and a bit faster. It really makes a big difference, it's much less relaxed and beautiful. Go listen to this song on any other youtube post to hear its original speed and pitch.
Same! I would leave this one on repeat to go to sleep many nights...
"And in the land of star crossed lovers
And barren hearted wanderers
Forever lost in forsaken missives and satan's pull
We seek the unseekable and we speak the unspeakable
Our hopes dead gathering dust to dust
In faith, in compassion, and in love"
reigh was that Shakespeare. ;)
Such a magical sounding song. This was one of their best albums. Still love it!
What a gem of a song makes you feel some kind of way
This song is like the childhood dream, we've all had, in which we fly
Such a blissful song
I don’t think this is an official video, but I feel like this video is beautiful in a manner that is on par with “tonight, tonight.” Literally all I really have to say is good job.
Thank you :) no it's not official! I absolutely love Tonight Tonight so that's a massive compliment thank you!
noushywoushywoo tonight tonight is still one of the most beautiful music videos ever. I love the work of George Melies and they did a fantastic job recreating it.
I love this album, every type of feeling i need to feel in my life can be found on it.
The ending with the poetry: Imagine a circle of Billy Corgans singing while a floating Billy Corgan head speaks.
You know you're right I feel that when I hear it
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA XD
❤️ in 2018
Hahahahahaha!!!
Lmao
Pretty faced fairies , endless summer twilights, ponds that are deeper than you think , and that butterfly feeling you feel when you are infactuated with someone!
Yes 100% :) I made this whilst in a relationship with someone and I was completely infatuated. Definitely helped inspire it!
This captured the feeling of a beautiful memory and nostalgic love.
Y en la tierra de las estrellas cruzadas de los amantes
…y las áridas corazonadas de vagabundos…
…siempre perdidas en olvidadas cartas que envía Satán
Buscamos lo impensable y hablamos lo incontable
Nuestras esperanzas mueren juntas, polvo al polvo
En la fe, en la compasión, en el amor
I just can't stop seeing it. It takes you to a better place. Thank you for this
glad you like it :) thank you! x
Reminds of spring time down Georgia in ' 96. When my ex would through the countryside. Ugh...so bittersweet !!!!
God I just miss the 90s so much. Sitting out on the field during art class, painting pictures and braiding flowers into each others hair
I love this!
One of my fav songs ever I dedicated to my husband. Brilliant!
Brutal 💿
Since 1995
Los sigo …. Me encanta smashing pumpkins

I love how you’re still active even after 10 years!
que hermosa y melancolica musica...su obra maestra

This is such an amazing band. I'm jealous of all the people who got to see them in their prime. I wish I were older.
me too Stepheny Miller! I saw them a couple of years ago but I'd give anything to have seen them in the mellon collie days. I was only two when that album came out though unfortunately haha!

Me too! I've seen them a couple times,but would have absolutely loved to see them in their prime.
They are touring this year. Go see them!!!
I would have loved to see them in theyre prime too
this video matches EXACTLY how the song sounds like, beautiful.
Creative video you made for a beautiful song! I like the forest nymph vibe you got going in this 😊

Beautiful song and a very beautiful video.
Leafs, trees and a beautiful girl. So peaceful, lovely and just beautiful!
Malk0v aww thank you means a lot :) x
i love the spoken word outro to this song. pretty damn good video. i seriously thought it was an official video at first
Not only the best Punpkins album but the best double LP ever created. What an utterly brilliant album.
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness ❤
i love this song
Oh what dreams we dream. Oh what lives we lived...sometimes I miss the truth and the beauty...and a native world
This song on LSD is pure bliss.
+Badfish2 This whole album is quite a trip while on acid...spend more than one acid and mushroom trip back in the mid 90's listening to this whole record from beginning to end.

Badfish2 Yeah bro I feel u

Um som muito distinto e com melodia digna dos Smashing Pumpkins.
This was beautiful oh my god
Aww thanks Kyle means a lot :) x
As big of a Smashing Pumpkins fan as I am, and as much as I wore out this CD (both) when it came out, how did I forget about this amazing song? Excellent work on the video!

You've done the video I wish I had done for this song. Briliant. Congratulations.
+Francisco Raupp Thank you so much! You should do one too :)
this video couldn't be more perfect

Congrats to their new guitar player, Brad Kalvo! Crazy how you can go from UA-cam to rock stardom.
This song always reminded me of the score for the film Ravenous. Classic album(s)
It's like I'm floating on air to this song

Kevin Cervera wonder where they got that from.
Stranger things sounds like keyboard intro in a lower scale

beautyful song with an easyness to feel lucky for the rest of your life
@noushywoushywoo, Your art is beautiful. You did a fantastic job with the video. Kudos for using one of The Smashing Pumpkins greatest songs. Cheers from the U.S.
That one dreamy beautiful song of the smashing pumpkins that you always come back to for a bubble of shelter, we need a 5.1 remix of this album!
Not necessary, listen to the original song is better
This song is pure art.
this song is sooo sick, like just walking through the woods while this song plays
Cupid hath pulled back his sweetheart's bow, to cast divine arrows into her soul, to grab her attention swift and quick, or morrow the marrow of her bones be thick....heart melting poetry right there
I love this
Such majestic, much magical. I'm also on marijuacaine right now.
Marvelous ♥️🔺🌟🔻⚜️🔱💫
Beautiful.
Trees and red hair. The two greatest things in life :-)
Gonna call out of work tomorrow so I can listen to this all day
yet, another "knock me out with its beauty" song from our beloved Pumpkins...good vid!
Lyrics
Cupid hath pulled back hi sweetheart's bow
To cast divine arrows into her soul
To grab her attention swift and quick
Or morrow the marrow of her bones be thick
With turpentine kisses and mistaken blows
See the devil may do as the devil may care
He loves none sweeter as sweeter the dare
Her mouth the mischief he doth seek
Her heart the captive of which he speaks
So note all ye lovers in love with the sound
Your world be shattered with nary a note
Of one cupids arrow under your coat
And in the land of star crossed lovers
And barren hearted wanderers
Forever lost in forsaken missives and Satan's pull
We seek the unseekable and we speak the unspeakable
Our hopes dead gathering dust to dust
In faith, in compassion, and in love
I love this melody
noushywoushywoo - this is a really lovely video for this gorgeous song. Well done! Awesome.
Beautiful song
Beautiful video
Beautiful girl

"And in the land of star crossed lovers

I didn't realize that Smashing Pumpkins ever shot an official video for this song. Very cool. Simple, but affecting and effective.
beautiful
lovely melody...
ethereal
I LOVED that! Thanks
Whoah! I’m back seven years later still loving it!
This.

Are hopes gathered from dust to dust in faith and compassion and in love.
Magical
Really good video!!!! I've watched it twice today!!! Never saw the original video for this song and assumed it was the video at first
