From SPCodex, The Smashing Pumpkins wiki
"Once Upon a Time " is a song from The Smashing Pumpkins ' fourth studio album, Adore . Billy Corgan wrong the song, along with "For Martha , in honor of his mother who had recently died.
“
Like 'For Martha,' this was penned in direct opposition to my Mother's untimely death. A message I suppose for things I would have like to have said, but didn't have the courage for. A personal highlight, and one I treasure regardless of current taste or favor. The purest of them all.
