The orchestral swells permeating classically trained Essex, UK vocalist SuRie's cover of "Wake Me Up When September Ends" actually ratchet up the sadness of East Bay, California dance punk band Green Day's autobiographical original, in which principal lyricist Billie Joe Armstrong laments the death of his father.
Though SuRie's stage name is a blend of her given first and middle names (Susanna Marie), the word "surie" is Incan for "ostrich."
The internet -- teaching me all sorts of weird shit since 1994.
For another cover of Green Day, here's one from Imaginary Bill.
