Coheed and Cambria – Claudio’s Covers: Stumbleine (Smashing Pumpkins Cover)

There aren’t many albums that have a connection to a season of the year for me quite like ”Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness’ by Smashing Pumpkins. In Autumn, I always give the record a listen and I’m reminded of the day it was released, a day I spent painting a mural on a storefront in Nyack, NY for my high school art class. I listened repeatedly while painting the creature I had mapped out in my proposal. I never tired of listening to it; the record was artistically inspiring, but in a different way, leading my imagination away from the window where I never finished the mural…

Stumbleine is a gem nestled in the double album’s second record. I get that 5AM-been-up-all-night-readying-to-watch-the-sun-come-up-over-the-Hudson sensation every time it passes. – Claudio Sanchez
