Intro. A record player is all that is visible, with a record (black vinyl and looks like it has been played a lot). The needle picks up, and drops on the record. The song starts. The tape player effects the record player fades into Billy, sitting at a coffee table, talking. There is a tape recorder on the table. Every time a "click" plays on the song, he hits the stop button. Heavy guitars start The band, all in red, are playing in a wherehouse-type room. They rock steady until... The verses Right when the guitars quiet down, you see Jimmy playing away on his drum set. Shot changes to Billy: singing the verses. He's pissed. "Love is a sentimental...Life is a sentimental..." Billy walking in a park (in black and white) "Spy the fragile heart so cursed... as he walks across this earth.." Bill wanders around the park, and people stare as they walk by him. He is wearing a regular black shirt/ black leather pants. But somehting is wrong... "i'm disconnected by your smile" back to the band, playing, with Billy singing. Tape effects again Him sitting at the table, talking "and all i gave to you is lost" him walking around again, but singing this time. "i'm disconnected by your smile" band playing in red, just as before. guitar solo Billy walks around, as he gets mad, for the people are staring. he starts running. "i'm disconnected by you smile" while guitar solo he is running through chicago urban streets. The people stare guitar solo 2 James is playing, in the wherehouse. The screen shot keeps going back to Billy running. "wishing you were real to me" We see Billy and his girlfriend. Billy walks out of the apartment. "i'll take my secrets to the grave safely held beneath the waves" Billy runs, and sees the Lake. He's ready to jump in. "always knew i couldnt save you" flashing back between the fight, Billy running, and the band playing. We see Jimmy singing the backup "youuuuuu". The guitars fade. The band playing view fades "and in my heart i know you're gone" Billy is sitting, in black-and-white playing with an acoustic guitar. Coda Billy playing, after he sings "gonnne" fades to the record player again, but this time, the record is at the label. It picks up, and the camera zooms out so you can see the record label. It has an aeroplane on the label (see the aeroplane flies high box set- booklet cover) and says "Smashing Pumpkins. The Aeroplane Flies High (Turns Left, Looks Right)". As the needle picks up and the record stops, leaving, in plain view, the label. By Chris chris8519@hotmail.com
