Album Inclusion"Eye" is one of the songs by Smashing Pumpkins which made its debut in the soundtrack for the 1996 film, "Lost Highway", rather than being part of one of their album compilations.
|
CollaborationThe original song was intended to be a collaboration with Marilyn Manson, but the plans fell through. Despite this, the Smashing Pumpkins took a darker, more electronic route with "Eye," which led some critics to point out similarities between the song and the works of Manson.
|
Use in MediaThe song has been used in multiple movies. Besides "Lost Highway," it also appeared in the 1997 film "Ransom", and the 2007 film "Stigmata."
|
Different ApproachThe song marked a departure from the band's usual alt-rock sound, signaling a turn towards electronica. This proved to be a sneak peek of the band's next era as they produced more electronic-influenced music on their Adore album.
|
Composing of the SongFrontman Billy Corgan composed the song on a drum machine, laying down the synthesized bass, and then adding beats and layers.
|
Absent Band Member"Eye" was recorded without input from drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, who was fired from the band in 1996 before the song's creation due to issues with drug addiction.
|
AchievementsDespite the controversy surrounding it and the shift in style, "Eye" did quite well commercially and critically. It reached #8 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart in 1997.
|
Live PerformancesThe band has set an interesting precedent of performing "Eye" live with a full drum kit, despite the song’s drum machine origins.
|
Cover VersionsBelgian band Scala & Kolacny Brothers, famous for their choral covers of rock and indie songs, have covered "Eye".
|
SimplicityDespite being digitally created, "Eye" has only nine lines of lyrics, making it one of The Smashing Pumpkin's simplest songs in terms of text length.
