SPCodex:Social media/Stand Inside Your Love (music video)

The music video for "Stand Inside Your Love" is a tribute to the play Salomé by Oscar Wilde. The video begins with the Wilde quote "The mystery of love is greater than the mystery of death". Billy Corgan created the video's look together with English director W.I.Z. (@wizfilmmaker) under the heavy influence of original Salomé illustrations by Aubrey Beardsley. The nipple-rubbing fat man sitting on the throne is played by Ken Davitian, better known for his role as Azamat Bagatov in the movie Borat. Corgan's then-girlfriend Yelena Yemchuk played the main character in the video. The video was filmed in Santa Clara, California in December 1999.

Director W.I.Z. said of the video and working with Corgan: "Billy has this great poetic ability to sort of shed light on the tragedies of existence. He seems to be someone who's trying to recondition the heart, to reconfigure tragedy as something we need to embrace and elevate as a proof-positive of life." He added that "The Smashing Pumpkins have a great sophistication and cinematic literacy and sense of style. It was a very rewarding experience working with them."

"Stand Inside Your Love" went on to win the Most Visionary Video award at the 2000 VH1 Fashion Awards.
