i first heard their siamese dream when i was like seven or eight. didn't have the grasp in the beauty of its lyrics though because i was just a kid back then, unable to comprehend the songs' profoundity, but its sound captivated me regardless. that was my intoduction to the world of music. and as i got older and as i got more and more into music, i got drawn to the band's materials as much as i got drawn to music itself. i could relate myself to many of their songs especially those coming from gish, siamese dream and MCIS. this band means so much to me, that when i turned legit, the first thing that i did was to have the sp hearts tattooed

they play good music and billy's lyrics are just plain beautiful. need i say more?
