5) Still Life was a British progressive rock band characterized by expert Hammond organ playing, intricate and original vocal harmonies, and an agile and precise rhythm section. The had one self-titled album that was originally released in 1971 and later re-released in 2003. The record was early organ-dominated progressive rock, its lyrical themes dwelling upon uneasy doubt and sadness, the melodies colored with the gothic classicism prevalent in much of the genre during the period. The album credits kept an aura of mystery about their membership. Martin Cure (Martin Cure And The Peeps), and Graham Amos (Rainbows (band)), Terry Howells and Alan Savage were believed to be involved.
6) Still Life were a rock band from Humberside in the United Kingdom. As well as a popular band in their home town they released several critically acclaimed singles and were one of the first UK bands to embrace the internet as a means of advertising and promoting their music.
still life were formed in 1996 by a group of five musicians from Kingston Upon Hull in the UK: Vocalist Paul Terry, drummer Phil Bean, vocalist and bass player James Paddison and guitarists Andy Clark and Mike Richmond. Richmond is credited as lyricist on all of the band's recorded tracks, music was credited to the entire band.
From lowly beginnings in local pubs and clubs, still life rapidly sailed to the top of the local music scene, eventually performing as support for several major acts including Atomic Kitten, Sash! and Fine Young Cannibals. The band finally split up in 2005, with an invite only performance at The Winter Gardens club in Cleethorpes supported by up and coming Hull-based singer songwriter Emma Rugg.
The band's alternative rock sound developed from an early influence of the britpop bands of the time (particularly The Smiths and Suede) into a more mature, experimental sound as the band became more proficient in studio techniques. The band's final release, At The Wheel is considered by many to be their most proficient, featuring the kind of production wizardy that led them to be favourably compared in both the local and national music press to R.E.M. and Queen!
A common misconception, given the band's influences is that they were named after the track Still Life from Suede's Dog Man Star album. In actual fact, the band name was taken by Richmond from another Suede song, "Breakdown" ("Back where the dogs bark, where still life bleeds the concrete white")
Following the break up of the band, guitarist Mike Richmond joined up and coming country rock band The Raindogs, and has recently rejoined former colleagues Clark, Paddison and Terry, along with drummer Mick Harding in new band Circus Envy.
It should be noted that, as in the band's logo, still life was preferred by the band to be written in lower case.

Tomorrow Brings
Still Life Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of Still Life's song Tomorrow Brings depict a sense of detachment and numbness in a relationship that was once full of warmth and passion. The singer seems to be reflecting on the state of a relationship that has turned cold and unreal, where both partners have buried themselves in their own emotions, making it hard for them to connect and truly understand each other.
The first lines "I felt the sun cold. Burning slow..." set the tone for the song, suggesting that the warmth and light of the sun are no longer felt by the singer. The following lines "Looking for all I have to give, I found myself on the floor again" suggest that the singer has given everything they have to the relationship, only to be left feeling empty and vulnerable. The line "Say you care. It sets me free. A child cries inside of me" suggests that the singer is seeking reassurance and emotional validation from their partner, which would help them feel free and innocent like a child.
As the song progresses, the singer expresses their frustration at how the relationship has turned sour: "This love hurts more like hate... Understanding has turned to pride". They feel like they are burning themselves to hide their true feelings, and long for a deeper connection where they can be themselves and feel love and compassion that is real, not just superficial.
The final lines "Still we bathe in blood only to rinse in tears. The sunshines cold. These days are cold, and there's stains on my yesterday, holes in my now. Tomorrow brings a new day. Tomorrow brings a new hope" suggest that although the singer is feeling lost and broken, they still hold on to the hope that tomorrow will bring a new day, a new opportunity to start fresh and heal the wounds of the past.
