Sometimes, something inexplicably hits you like a ton of bricks when you’re 15 years old, and then it decides to stay with you forever.
Is this the greatest song ever? The greatest Pumpkins song ever? The greatest Pumpkins song on Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness? The answer is “no” on all counts.
Is it a bit overdone, maudlin, and and obvious in its attempts at profundity? Well, I mean, Billy Corgan wrote it, so you tell me…
None of this matters though, because if the question is: What song makes you feel like you're exactly where you're supposed to be?, for me—from the first time I heard this song in October of 1995 until today—the answer is:
“This one.”
“I know that I am meant for this world.”
