That's the Way (My Love Is)
"That's the Way (My Love Is)" is a song written by Billy Corgan and performed by The Smashing Pumpkins on their album Zeitgeist. "That's the Way (My Love Is)" is the second, and final, commercial single from the album, and was released to radio in August 2007, with a retail single in September. The song was played live on the Late Show with David Letterman on July 13, 2007. Billy Corgan commented that the song initially sounded like an outtake from 1995's Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, but it was slowed down and given a different drum beat in the course of recording the song. Some of the formats contain a solo guitar and vocal live performance of "Daydream" by Corgan recorded on June 5, 2007 in Berlin, Germany. Critical reception Upon release, the single received mixed reviews. Drowned in Sound notes that while it is "a far better single than lead effort 'Tarantula'", "That's the Way (My Love Is)" is respectable enough until it's compared to the Pumpkins’ back catalogue—and then it comes off sounding like album-filler." James Thomson of website AllGigs said the single "is a long way from the bands' best efforts." Jo Vallance of website
