"'''Eye'''" is a [[song]] by the band [[The Smashing Pumpkins]], which featured on the soundtrack of the [[David Lynch]] film ''[[Lost Highway]]''. Along with the song "[[The End Is the Beginning Is the End]]" from ''[[Batman & Robin (film)|Batman & Robin]]'' and "Christmastime" from ''[[A Very Special Christmas 3]]'', "Eye" represented a period of work on compilations done by the Pumpkins in between the release of the two albums ''[[Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness]]'' and ''[[Adore (album)|Adore]]''. It also appeared on their greatest hits collection ''[[Rotten Apples (Smashing Pumpkins album)|Rotten Apples]]''.
"Eye" is performed entirely by electronic instruments (apart from the vocals), indicating the direction the Pumpkins would take in their up-coming album ''Adore''. The track "Tear" was also considered to be put on the [[Lost Highway (soundtrack)|''Lost Highway'' soundtrack]], however instead "Eye" was put on, and "Tear" appeared on ''Adore''.
"Eye" was released as a very limited promotional [[Single (music)|single]] in late 1996, and reached number 8 on the US [[Modern Rock Tracks]] in early [[1997]].[http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/retrieve_chart_history.do?model.vnuArtistId=5700&model.vnuAlbumId=933126]
