The song was written by [[Billy Corgan]] and is said to be about Corgan's mother, who died before the recording of the album. "For Martha" is also notable as being one of the tracks on ''Adore'' (along with "[[Crestfallen (song)|Crestfallen]]" and "Annie-Dog") that features [[piano]] as a dominant [[Musical instrument|instrument]], contrasting with the Smashing Pumpkins' earlier work, which was much more [[guitar]] based. |
