To Forgive

To Forgive is a song from The Smashing Pumpkins' third studio album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. It is a slow song written by Billy Corgan about his childhood. It is a reference to the themes of teenage angst and depression.

Unlike many other songs on the album, "To Forgive" doesn't feature multi-layered guitar production, and features only drums, bass, one live clean electric guitar and an e-bow track by James Iha. Reportedly the guitar was recorded in one live take.
