Tonight, Tonight

Hey, have you ever heard of the group Passion Pit? Have you heard their remake of a song that I personally thought couldn't be made better? Yeah, they did Tonight, Tonight which was originally done by The Smashing Pumpkins and I'll be damned if their version was almost better than the original. There are a lot of things to like about this song, both the original and the remake, but since I am posting the remake, let's talk about that version.

It's softer, slower, and seemingly more heartfelt. I feel that way because unlike in the original, you can make out the lyrics better in the remake. It starts off really simple, guitar, falsetto, and keyboards. It stays that way until the chorus, when it just gets better. The song seemingly opens up only to go back to the voice, guitar, and atmospheric keys, though this time theirs some percussion. My favorite part is during the bridge when the drums come in and makes this remake something so good that it rivals the original. This song was originally featured on an album that is nigh impossible to find sadly.

Fret not dear reader (of the most fantastic music blog on the planet), Passion Pit's version of Tonight, Tonight is available to download as a single. Or you can just enjoy it here whenever you'd like to hear it again. Sit back, relax, turn up the volume, and enjoy!
