There It Goes by Smashing Pumpkins

There It Goes is another excellent example of a song you just can’t understand how it never made it past the demo version. Smashing Pumpkins have a plethora of songs in their library, and there are still some out there that we have yet to know about. There It Goes was written in 1988 and…

Amazon Music gets the credit for today’s post because I found the song on one of their discover playlists. There are so many wonderful things to say about this track – (1) it has such a trippy, new wave, dream beat, and (2) it has some great advice about letting go of the past. ‘Cause…
