"Drown" Is A Song By American Alternative Rock Band The Smashing Pumpkins From The Soundtrack To The 1992 Cameron Crowe Film "Singles". The Song Debuted During The Gish Tour And Was Written Not Long After That Record Was Released. The First Take Of The Song Was Recorded At Waterfront Studios Which Belongs To Lenny Kravitz Who Was Also Signed To Virgin Records. The Song Was Also Released On The Band's Official Greatest Hits Compilation Rotten Apples In 2001 Though The Length Of The Song Was Reduced From 8 17 To 4 30 Cutting Off The Extended Feedback And E-Bow Solo At The End. "Drown" Was Considered For Pisces Iscariot But Corgan Decided Against It. The Song Became A Moderate Radio Hit In Mid-1992 And Gave The Band Significant Exposure Just Before Work Commenced On "Siamese Dream". "Drown" Was To Be Released As A Commercial Single But As Billy Corgan Explained "We Wanted It To Be A Single We Were Pushing For It. I Was Even Willing To Make It A Video. Radio Stations Were Playing It. And When It Came Time For The Third Single They Said 'Screaming Trees.' And I Was Like 'Screaming Trees?' But What Label Is Alice In Chains On And What Label Are The Screaming Trees On? Epic Which Is The Label That Put Out The Soundtrack. And That's What Killed The Song." Nonetheless The Song Was Given A Promotional Single And Became Their Highest-Charting Single At The Time Peaking At Number 24 On The U.S. Alternative Songs Chart. The Song Has Also Been Released Publicly As An Early Demo Through SPRC Which Is 8 58 In Length. The Complete Version Of "Drown" Was Included With An Alternate Guitar Solo On The Bonus CD In The 2011 Reissue Of" Gish".
