Thru the Eyes of Ruby

"Thru the Eyes of Ruby" is a song from The Smashing Pumpkins' third studio album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. The final recording reportedly contains as many as 70 guitar tracks.

The last ~40 seconds of the song is the same as the "Nighttime version 1" variant of "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" (the song), as featured on the 2012 reissue. Other versions available on the deluxe reissue include "Take 7" (slower, instrumental), a solo acoustic version, and "Pit mix 3" which is comprised solely of guitar feedback which may have been used for overdubbing.

In 2012, the song ranked at #10 in Rolling Stone 's reader's poll of the best Smashing Pumpkins songs.
