Where Rain Must Fall

"Where Rain Must Fall" is the eighth track from Act I of The Smashing Pumpkins' 2023 rock opera, ATUM.

Billy Corgan calls it a "very romantic song," comparing it to old Hollywood musicals. He said he always wanted to write a song in this style, but "everyone around him [not the band] wants him to write Alternative rock hits." Had it not been for the ATUM story, the song may have never been written.

Like the previous track, "Steps In Time", "Where Rain Must Fall" is sung by the ATUM character, June, making it the only song on the album adjacent to another song by the same character.
