	7 is usually associated with blasphamy and evil... Seven Deadly sins, seven levels of hell - Dante ect. Who knows? All I know is that this song is great. This album usually calms me down while I'm driving and I listen to it all the time.

No Picture Erik Lead Player	#2 by Erik StJimmy at Feb 4, 1973 at 10:14 AM EST
	this song is so so good. billy is an amazing writer.... and person. and yes, 7 is most likely associated witht he bible (...duh? ) 7 is like a holy number..... its like verywhere in the bible.

No Picture FleaFan Lead Player	#3 by FleaFan fLy at Feb 22, 1975 at 5:30 PM EST

	Musically prolly one o the best off the album. any one have any idea about what the "seven" symbolism means? Billy Corgan always includes it somewhere on every album (plus there were 7 pumpkins albums -- hes said its all deliberate in interviews)

	i think a lot of billy's songs are about a general feeling rather than an actual event or even idea... lot's of times, the lyrics are just words that go well with the music, making it powerful, but not specific... too bad billy hates zwan now because i love their music

No Picture LiL_meL Wanna Be	#7 by LiL_meL at Jul 5, 1992 at 9:55 PM EST
	This song is a prime example of Zwan's purpose: to just play and embrace music. There is so much soul in this song musically. I don't know if it conveys any deep messages. I personnally think it's a flow of emotions through music.

	i absolutely love the intro to this song, especially when the drums and distortion guitar come in.

	I'll get bashed for being the guy who add's the Jesus stuff, but oh well. According to the Bible, 7 is the "perfect" number. Sorta like how 6 is imperfect, hence 666. Anyways...just an idea.

	i thought that tied in with alchemy symbolism..."when seven is done..." or something of that type of thing...

No Picture Mr. Slave Wanna Be	#15 by Mr. Slave at Apr 18, 2002 at 1:32 PM EST
