Beautiful

GS: Did you use any 12-string guitars on the records?

CORGAN: I used an Eighties 12-string Fender a bit on the end of "Beautiful," for this "walking" guitar line. It's hard to pick out, though. You can hear the guitar most clearly when the song switches from the middle eight back to the normal part of the song [at 2:41].

"My voice splits into octaves when I sing - especially up high," he explains. "It's very weird for me to sing low because I don't really have it. 'Beautiful' was very difficult to sing because [tries singing it and wavers] I don't really have that 'low' to go to. I'm walking right on the tightrope of where my voice disappears, whereas when I sing up higher it's not a problem."
