Riff: Green Day – “See You Tonight”

Nov 13, 2012

Wherever the night takes you/Maybe you’ll see me too

from See You Tonight lyrics by Green Day

The second act in the punk-cum-broadway arena rocker’s trilogy of LPs opens with this faux-four-track soliloquy chasing a planky three-chord angst and the fading possibility of healing said angst with a chance encounter. Spoiler alert: the next track is called “Fuck Time.” And it has power chords.
