Billy Corgan’s latest Smashing Pumpkins track “A Stitch in Time” is now available for a FREE download below. This marks the third single from his 44-song project Teargarden by Kaleidyscope. To get his other two songs, visit the band’s official website A Stitch In Time by The Smashing Pumpkins “I have a hard time saying in most cases what inspires a song–some of them just pour out of me like salt and I feel like a custodian of a spirit I don’t fully understand but certainly can feel,” said Corgan in a Q&A released to the media. “The closest answer I have is that it’s a protest song–what I am protesting I’m not sure but it has something to do with real inner freedom and the consequence of what it means to be free. “The song came in during a stream of consciousness moment while sitting backstage at a Pumpkins concert in those wee, still hours between soundcheck and the show. The lyrics came just as surprisingly fast as the music, and the whole process took about 20 minutes. I recorded it on my phone, and so for a year it was the only document I had of the song. But the song stuck with me and I put it in my back pocket as something worth coming back to later. When I drew up the list of the first 4 songs to record this one easily made the cut because I think it has a signifying effect of what the album stands for, not so much musically but energetically and thematically.” Read more of the Q&A here.
