Luna

Luna is a song from The Smashing Pumpkins' second studio album, Siamese Dream.

Written in a hotel room in London on a three week stay. We come early for the press, and the powers that be figure it's cheaper to have us sit and wait than to fly us home, only to return. I am in love with someone that doesn't love me. My songs are better than hers. This is my way to prove a point not work making. I lean my back up against the wall of my room, pushing my spine up straight. My guitar has been painted day-glo at the hands of a sweet madman. I sing a love song in an empty room. It is for the moon. It can never be for the one you love.

Background
Billy Corgan wrote "Luna" in a hotel room in London, following a verbal fight with his ex-partner. The Smashing Pumpkins had a big gig that night, and Corgan was so upset he didn't want to perform. For the first time ever, he used meditation as a means to deal with his emotions, lending him the ability to "talk [himself] off a ledge." The song "Luna" is the response to this experience, describing his unrequited love. Corgan called it a "a beautiful song of fruition, forgiveness and acceptance".
