Tonight, Tonight Lyrics

Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel
Believe, believe in me, believe

That life can change, that you're not stuck in vain
We're not the same, we're different tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight

And you know you're never sure
But you're sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light

And the embers never fade in your city by the lake
The place where you were born
Believe, believe in me, believe
In the resolute urgency of now

And if you believe there's not a chance tonight
Tonight, so bright tonight
We'll crucify the insincere tonight
We'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight
We'll find a way to offer up the night tonight
The indescribable moments of your life tonight
The impossible is possible tonight
Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight

Tonight, Tonight

The video showed the band floating on clouds in the night sky. It is based on the 1902 film Trip to the Moon by George Meiles. His name is the name of the ship at the end of the music video - the S.S. Meiles.

This won 6 MTV Music Video Awards: Video of the Year, Breakthrough Video, Best Direction Best Special Effects, Best Art Direction, and Best Cinematography. It was also nominated for Viewer's Choice Award and Best Editing.

Pumpkins bass player D'arcy liked the sets from the video a lot, so she put them in a barn on her farm. (thanks, Cam - St. Catharines, Canada, for all above)

This was recorded with a 30-piece string-section.

This was written in the key of C instead of G, but Corgan couldn't sing it in C. (thanks, Cam - St. Catharines, Canada, for above 2)

The line, "And the embers never fade in your city by the lake, The place where you were born" in a reference to Corgan's home city of Chicago. The song has an acoustic reprise on the single where Billy sings the line. (thanks, BONES - New Plymouth, New Zealand)
