1. In the … Read Full Bio ↴There are at least five artists by the name of Tomorrow.
1. In the early days of British psychedelia, three bands were consistently cited as first-generation figureheads of the London-based underground sound: Pink Floyd, the Soft Machine, and Tomorrow. Pink Floyd became superstars and the Soft Machine influential cult legends, but Tomorrow is mostly remembered (if at all) for featuring Steve Howe as their lead guitarist in his pre-Yes days. Actually, Tomorrow was nearly the equal of the two more celebrated outfits. Along with the early Floyd and Soft Machine, they shared a propensity for flower-power whimsy. Though they were less recklessly innovative and imaginative, their songwriting was accomplished, with adroit harmonies, psychedelic guitar work, and adventurous structures and tempo changes. They never succumbed to mindless indulgence or jamming; indeed, their tracks were rather short and tightly woven in comparison with most psychedelic bands.
Band members were Steve Howe (electric and acoustic guitars), Keith West (vocals), John "Junior" Wood (bass guitar) and John 'Twink' Alder (drums). Tomorrow singer Keith West is perhaps better known as a participant in Mark Wirtz's Teenage Opera project that gave him a solo hit single "Excerpt from a Teenage Opera (Grocer Jack)" and brief commercial success. Guitarist Steve Howe later joined progressive rock band Yes and then Asia, whilst Twink joined The Pretty Things on their concept album, S.F. Sorrow, before forming The Pink Fairies.
Tomorrow are credited with releasing the first psychedelic single, 'My White Bicycle'. Tomorrow's September 1967 single "Revolution" was likely the primary inspiration for the John Lennon song Revolution which was released a year later.[citation needed] Tomorrow's lyric "Have your own little revolution, NOW!" sounds like it prompted Lennon's response "You say you want a revolution." Though Tomorrow's song was not a hit the group was well known to insiders of the London music scene. Frank Zappa met the group on his first trip to England in 1967 and praised Steve Howe's guitar solo on Claramount Lake. Zappa even played the record during a radio interview many years later.
2. Tomorrow was an emo/post-punk band from Tampa, FL, active from 1994 to 1999.
Tomorrow released a Self-Titled 7" (1995, Blacksmith), a split 7" with Exhaust (1995, Blacksmith), a split 11" with Hot Water Music (1997, No Idea) and two CD EPs; The Industry Of Natural Occurence (1998, No Idea) and Build a Brand New Sky (1999, Schematics).
They also appeared on several compilations; Direction CD (1996, Polivinyl), 403 Comp: Florida Fucking Hardcore (1998, Schematics), and Back to Donut! (1999, No Idea).
3. Tomorrow may also refer to a Japanese thrash metal band. Taking queues from the Italian metal scene, the members of Tomorrow embrace not only the Italian's fast, over-driven sound but also the language itself.
4. 90's influenced newschool hardcore from Ukraine in the vein of Mean Season, Ressurection, 108, Skygrain, Inside Out. http://tomorrowxxx.bandcamp.com/track/candles-light
5. Traditional doom metal band from Toledo, Ohio that was active in the late 90s. Recorded the EP "Divinatory Mourning".
Hallucinations
Tomorrow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Clouds passing by
Top of my window
The sun isn't shy
Gets in my eyes
Must be a rainbow
There's a colour and you caught surprise
Rainbow
Every morning
Sometimes at night
A circle of light
Shines on my pillow
And there while I sleep
Colours just creep
And dance through my window
There's a colour and you caught surprised
It's a deep shade of you in disguise
Rainbow
Every morning
Giving me, hallucinations
Trying to block, my circulation
Feeds my brain information
Gives my body new gyrations
Comes up to my expectations
I need those elevations
I'm covered in perspiration
Light in the sky
Clouds passing by
Top of my window
The sun isn't shy
Gets in my eyes
Must be a rainbow
There's a colour and you caught surprised
It's a deep shade of you in disguise
Rainbow
Every morning
Rainbow
Every morning
Rainbow
Every morning
The song "Hallucinations" appears to be describing a spectacular visual experience that the singer experiences every morning, as well as sometimes at night. It starts with the singer noticing a light in the sky, seemingly caused by the passing clouds, and the sun peeking in through their window, potentially forming a rainbow. The song goes on to describe how every morning, the singer is surprised by a deep shade of color that they see in disguise, most likely a colour that they associate with a particular person. The singer's experience is enhanced by the fact that they feel these colours permeate into their body, affecting them physically, leading to new gyrations and elevation.
The singer appears to be deeply engaged in this visual spectacle, and it is enhancing their emotional and physical well-being. The reference to the word 'hallucination' in the title could be interpreted as either a play on words, where the singer is experiencing something visually fantastic, or it could be that the experience is so intense that it feels surreal or otherworldly. Overall, Tomorrow's song "Hallucinations" conveys the idea that the daily renewal of one's personal relationship with the world, along with physical sensations that are invoked by a special moment, can impact one's overall well-being and leave a lasting impression.

Light in the sky
The presence of light up in the sky
Clouds passing by
The movement of clouds going past
Top of my window
At the highest part of the window
The sun isn't shy
The sun is unapologetic about shining in my direction
Gets in my eyes
The brightness affects my vision
Must be a rainbow
The appearance of a rainbow is the probable explanation
There's a colour and you caught surprise
There is a hue present that was unexpected
It's a deep shade of you in disguise
The color resembles a darker version of you in a disguised form
Every morning
Happens every morning
Sometimes at night
Happens occasionally at night
A circle of light
A ring of illumination
Shines on my pillow
Reflects onto my pillow
And there while I sleep
During my sleep in that location
Colours just creep
Colors slowly appear
And dance through my window
They seem to move rhythmically through the window
Giving me, hallucinations
Causing me to experience vivid sensory effects
Trying to block, my circulation
Attempting to impede my flow of blood
Feeds my brain information
Supplies my mind with data
Gives my body new gyrations
Causes my body to move in unique ways
Comes up to my expectations
Meets my hopes and desires
I need those elevations
I crave those uplifting sensations
I'm covered in perspiration
I am sweating heavily
Rainbow
A multicolored bow of light

I was a teen throughout the 60's and thought I heard everything there was to hear. Ten years later as I was getting into the 80's music scene, I came across one of the pebbles compilations. And to this day, for the past 30 years, I'm still discovering great stuff I never heard before on a regular basis. The 60's were a bottomless well of musical wealth. And don't limit yourself to just to just the UK and US... it was worldwide. Enjoy the trip... it may last at least 40 years.

I found this album in the mid-80s. At the time, I was continually amazed at how oft some artists' early work was more inspired than their later, more developed (and pretentious) stuff. I read this album came out just a couple months too late, and missed the boat somehow. Music kept evolving so fast, and had this come out 6 months earlier, it might have been a HUGE hit. There's an album called "BODAST" the following yeare which, while being a different line-up, is to some degree a follow-up, and I've often played them back-to-back. (The "ST" part refers to STeve Howe... heh.)
