4* "Luna" and "Today" from ''Siamese Dream.''
5** As well as "Disarm", a message from Billy to his AbusiveParents.
6** Let's not forget "Spaceboy", which is about Corgan's autistic half-brother.
7** "Mayonaise," too.
8** "Hummer"'s final third is as beautiful as it is disheartening, especially with the lyrics:
9-->Ask yourself a question\
10Anyone but me\
11I ain't free...
12* "To Forgive", "Galapagos", "1979", "Thirty Three", "In the Arms of Sleep", "By Starlight", and "Take Me Down" from ''Mellon Collie.''
13* "To Sheila", "Crestfallen", "For Martha", [[note]] a tribute to Billy's late mom, who passed from cancer [[/note]] "The Tale of Dusty and Pistol Pete", "Annie-Dog" and "Once Upon a Time" [[note]] another tribute to Billy's mom [[/note]] all from ''Music/{{Adore}}.''
14* "I of the Mourning" and "This Time" from ''Machina / The Machines of God'':
15--> ''As the curtain falls, we bid you all goodnight.''
16* "Pinwheels" and "One Diamond, One Heart" from ''Oceania'' are in the TearsOfJoy category.
17* "All Things Change" from Billy Corgan's solo album ''Thefutureembrace''.
18* Billy Corgan's cover of "Landslide".
19* "Perfect" is incredibly depressing.
20* "Mary Star of the Sea" and to a lesser extent "Come with Me" from, well, ''Mary Star of the Sea'', though in more of a TearsOfJoy way.
