Disarm
"Disarm" is a song by The Smashing Pumpkins (then known simply as Smashing Pumpkins). It was the third single from their second album, Siamese Dream. "Disarm" was written by Billy Corgan and is regarded by most to be one of their best songs. Its string and acoustic instrument driven melodies make it one of the most popular ballad-like songs released by The Smashing Pumpkins. Publicly, Corgan has always asserted that the song was about the shaky relationship he had with his parents while growing up. Because of the lyric "cut that little child," the BBC banned the song from radio airplay in the U.K. While the Pumpkins' had many softer and acoustic driven versions of many of their louder, more rock style songs, "Disarm" actually had a loud and heavy electric version that was performed semi-regularly and is featured on the Vieuphoria video. The electric version changes the tone of the song from powerful yet sad, to a angst-driven rock. The single was released with 2 different versions. The 2 versions (Heart and Smile) featured different artwork and different B Sides.
