Thirty-Three is a very personal song to me. I found out of Smashing Pumpkins out of pure luck. I stumbled upon the album “ Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness “ in a very dark place. I had been going through such difficult times with depression in the summer of 2018.   I was contemplating suicide. All I remembered was this beautiful song from Smashing Pumpkins called “ Thirty-Three “. I had played the song in the background and burst into tears because the song gave me courage. It gave me hope. It gave me another view of life. I had soon listened to more music from them and grew very attached to them. I could not have done it without their music. It’s been two years and every time I listen to “ Thirty-three “ it always brings me to tears. I love Smashing Pumpkins!
