The song "Settle Down" by Zwan seems to be a plea to a lover to stay and to not settle down without the singer. The repetition of "settling down" allows the song to explore what it means to commit to someone and to build a life together. The first verse seems to be the singer trying to convince their lover that they will settle down with them and that they should not do it alone. The second verse reinforces the idea that the singer is committed to their lover and that no matter what they will do what they can to make it work. The repetition of "never lose that feeling" also speaks to the idea that the singer and their lover have a strong connection and that they should hold onto that feeling.
There seems to be some ambiguity in the lyrics as to who is settling down - is it the singer, the lover, or both? The repetition of the phrase "I'll settle down for sure" seems to imply that it is the singer who needs to settle down, but the line "Settle down, don't settle down without me" suggests that the lover might also need to settle down. The use of the number seven (seven years, seven days, and seven hours) in the chorus adds a mystical quality to the song and could be interpreted as a symbolic reference to completion, perfection, or spiritual enlightenment.
Overall, "Settle Down" is a song that explores the complexities of commitment and building a life with someone. It speaks to the importance of holding onto strong feelings and not losing hope in the face of challenges.

Jimmy Chamberlin is quite an interesting Drummer and Character. I've always found the best drummers have demons.

Always loved the Pumpkins from day one! So when Billy put this Supergroup together and dragged Jimmy along to boot! Something wonderful was always going to happen!
Still puts a smile on my face like the day I first heard this album over 20 years ago.
