Oh... wow... When I read Faile's first post, I was completely speechless! Omg, I'm so happy!

I must say that I agree with Faile on this one. To me, music is a very special thing. I listen to a lot of different kinds, but there is only a special type that really hits home.

In fact, there are only a few bands that I listen to on a daily basis, and the Smashing Pumpkins are one of those few. Actually, no. They are on a whole other level - this band is something that I must listen to everyday, whether it be day or night, whether I am happy or sad. They are just vital to my daily life.

It's been quite a while since I first began to listen to the Pumpkins. When I did, I immediately feel in love with them. It wasn't because I was angsty, though. In fact, they are not the band I go to when I'm feeling angry because I don't feel they satisfy that particular type of thirst.

To me, they are they type of band you can connect to. So many times I have been so distressed beyond words and I have found that when my words do not suffice, the words of this band does. Since I first heard the song "Tonight, Tonight" I have always loved it. It is my favorite song and I am quite sure it will always be. This song says so much to me, but that I love the most is that is gives me this transcending feeling of confidence. Confidence to accept what is happening and to believe that everything can change and be better. This song is so special to me, and so are many others.

Everyday I play their songs. I listen to them when I am happy because they fortify my happiness, and I listen to them when I am sad and confused because they give me hope and assurance like no one else can.

It's strange, I know. It sounds like a lot for a single band to do. But this is because the Pumpkins are more than a band... they are that bit of shinning hope we all need from time to time.

They are to me, at least. And to think that they will reunite to create once more the very music that has helped me by the bundles through many of life's torrents is more than enough reason to be overwhelmingly joyous.

It's true that they won't sound the same, but they never did. But in a way it's not about the sound they transmit, but the feeling they project. And well, as long as Corgan is at the founding platform of them, they will always be the Smashing Pumpkins. They will always be what helps many through the days.

(I am SO happy to hear this, btw.
