| Band's Comments | Lyrics | |
| Billy: "When we were still in the middle of Siamese Dream touring, I booked us into a local Chicago studio to just put all of our ideas down to tape, without censorship of opinion, etc. "Tonight" was one of those ideas, but it was originally in the key of C instead of G. The only problem was I couldn't sing it in C, so I figured out the version on Mellon Collie to suit my limited range. I never thought "Tonight, Tonight" would be a single. I just didn't think people would get it. Also, I have to say that recording the 30 piece string section was probably one of the most exciting recording experiences I have ever had." Billy: "Oh, Tonight, Tonight was probably a more crafted song. You're looking for something specific. You know what you're trying to say but you've got to find the right words to say it with the right sentiments. It's obviously a well-crafted song. That took time to put all the pieces together. Stuff like that. I move back and forth." |
