Billy Corgan was struggling with depression and was contemplating suicide when he wrote it. It is riddled with self-harm "pink ribbon scars that never forget - tried so hard to cleanse these regrets - my angel wings are bruised and restrained - my belly stings', that he was tired of pretending that he wasn't depressed or contemplating suicide: "I wanted more than life could ever grant me - bored by the chore of saving face". Anyway, as you can see, with just those small examples of the song, it's not really about love at all. Sure it seems happy and great (it really does sound like an upbeat song) but Corgan did that deliberately to make it ironic, probably tying in the whole 'bored by the chore of saving face' line. I really wouldn't recommend this song as a symbol of love, happiness and commitment, because that is not what this song is about. The Smashing Pumpkins have several love songs that would be a better fit. Ex: Beautiful, Luna, Stand Inside Your Love etc. That's my opinion anyway. Great list, otherwise!!
