"One and All" (or "One and All (We Are)") is the second single from The Smashing Pumpkins' tenth album Monuments to an Elegy. The track premiered through the Huffington Post on November 5th, 2014.[2][3]

Recording and sound[edit | edit source]

In an interview with the Huffington Post, band leader Billy Corgan said "I basically sang the whole song the first time I wrote it... It had written itself."[2] In the studio recording, Corgan plays the rhythm guitar in the left ear, while guitarist Jeff Schroeder plays in the right ear – a strategy that contrasts with the "doubling" effect that The Smashing Pumpkins were known for on previous albums.[4]

Rolling Stone described the track as having "a deep wash of grungy guitar distortion ...the hard-rocking "One and All" features the drumming of Mötley Crüe's Tommy Lee bashing his way through Billy Corgan and Jeff Schroeder's murky mires of guitar and the singer's lyrics about feeling young."[5] "One and All" was the song from Monuments that inspired Corgan and Schroeder to invite Tommy Lee to do the drum parts.[4]

Reception[edit | edit source]

The song was favorably received. Stereogum said "The brand new, guitar-overloaded 'One and All' is a considerable improvement on 'Being Beige,' in my opinion — it's considerably heavier, too, which plays to Billy Corgan’s strengths at this point in his career."[6] Music Times stated that "Fans of the Pumpkins will not be disappointed, as the song has a darkly metallic quality reminiscent of their 1995 opus Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness."[7] Spin.com stated "'One and All' does boast a shoegaze-set-on-overdrive sheen."[8]

Some fans believe the song may have evolved the Mellon Collie outtake "The Viper".[9] A clip of this version was included on "Pastichio Medley" on The Aeroplane Flies High box set.

Lyrics[edit | edit source]

I don't mind what you're running
'Cause you and me we're just something
Don't just hang what you're running on
I don't mind we're so alone

We're one and all
We are, we are so young
We're young, we're young
We're one and all
We are, we are so young
We're young, we're young
We're one and all
We are, we are so young
We're young, we're young

Lest it be that we're livin'
Don't ya hide what you're given
Don't ya pulse for the ones that stall
Don't ya mind if it's me at all
Don't ya mind if it's me at all
If it's me at all?

I'd just say when you're bluffing
'Cause you and me we're off running
Baby sweet of the ruts and cuts
I don't save for rainy days

We're one and all
We are, we are so young
We're young, we're young
We're one and all
We are, we are so young
We're young, we're young
We're one and all
We are, we are so young
We're young, we're young

Catch as can what you're doing
Me and you we're just ruins
Sespertines for the morning's trawl
Don't ya mind if it's me at all
Don't ya mind if it's me at all
If it's me at all?
If it's me at all?
If it's me at all?

I don't mind a thing or two
We're one and all
We are, we are so young
We're one and all
We are, we are so young
We're one and all
We are, we are so young
We're one and all
