This Song Rocks: Stand Inside Your Love


Original video located here. Accessed 4th November 2019

Song title: Stand Inside Your Love

Artist: Smashing Pumpkins

Year: 2000

Why I like this song:

Recently I have been listening to the Smashing Pumpkin Machina album(s) with fresh ears. 

However this is not Machina in it's original form: It seems that story of Machina's troubled production has inspired fans to take both Machina 1 and 2 and merge them into the double it weas originally intended, 
Now fan edits of albums are new to me: I have heard of fan edits of movies and have enjoyed them but music? This is a new field. But then again, one should not underestimate the power of fandoms. 

So after some research, this is the fan-made Machina double album I have settled on:

      1. If there is a God
      2. Cash Car Star
      3. The Imploding Voice
      4. Wound
      5. The Sacred + Profane
      6. Stand Inside Your Love
      7. Real Love
      8. Innosence
      9. Let Me Give the World To You
      10. The Crying Tree of Mercury
      11. White Spyder
      12. Raindrops + Sunshowers
      13. Glass + The Ghost Children
      14. Go
      15. Glass Theme
      16. The Everlasting Gaze
      17. Dross
      18. In My Body
      19. Speed Kills
      20. Lucky 13
      21. Heavy Metal Machine
      22. Blue Skies Bring Tears
      23. I of the Mourning
      24. Here's to the Atom Bomb
      25. Try, Try, Try
      26. Home
      27. This Time
      28. With Every Light

Listening to this reconstruction I have to say: This album does indeed flow a lot better. Somehow the initial shock of hearing a more 'metal' version of the pumpkins is presented in a more palatable manner. And to have Billy's original vision restored does indeed make a lot more sense.
