"Stand Inside Your Love" is a song by The Smashing Pumpkins. It was the official first single from their fifth album, "Machina/The Machines of God" (2000) and the first single released with Jimmy Chamberlin back in the band. "Stand Inside..." was written by Billy Corgan. The single contains one b-side, "Speed Kills", which appears in a shortened form on the vinyl and import CD versions of "Machina", and in a heavier incarnation on the band's following album "Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music".

The music video of "Stand Inside..." is a tribute to the play "Salomé" by Oscar Wilde.Band and Director Commentary. "Greatest Hits Video Collection".] Billy Corgan created the video's look together with English director W.I.Z. under the heavy influence of original Salomé illustrations by Aubrey Beardsley. Corgan's then-girlfriend Yelena Yemchuk played the main character in the video. Billy Corgan explained, "Well, 'Stand Inside Your Love' is one of those rare songs that seems to write itself really quickly... As far as the song goes, it's sort of a love song that rocks, which is pretty rare, even for me. And I even got my girlfriend dancing in the video, so it's all a tribute to my girlfriend, I guess." ["Smashing Pumpkins Talk "Love," Next Single". MTV Online. 2000-04-26.] Corgan would also call it the only "true" love song he's ever written.

Sharon Osbourne cited her dislike for the music video, along with her conflicts with Corgan, as a motive for her departure from the band's management. ["Sharon Osbourne Vents on Corgan". Spin Magazine. 2000-01-15.]

The song was covered by Say Anything on their recent tour with Manchester Orchestra. [ [http://absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=304883 Say Anything Cover the Pumpkins - News Article - AbsolutePunk.net ] ]
