Cyr and The Colour of Love are songs by the rock band The Smashing Pumpkins, released on August 28, 2020 as a digital double-A side single from their eleventh studio album, Cyr through Sumerian Records. A black and white music video was directed, edited, and colored by Linda Strawberry. She has described the music video as “a goth fever dream of pent up emotion – an artistic visual release attempting to create a momentary escape from the emotional black cloud hanging over all of us this year. A dark seduction filmed in quarantine at a social distance.
“Cyr is dystopic folly, one soul against the world sort of stuff, set against a backdrop of shifting loyalties and sped up time. To me it stands as both hopeful and dismissive of what is and isn’t possible with faith. ”
(Billy Corgan, Rolling Stone, August 2020)
