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".
Now Your Time Has Come
Tomorrow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every time you call this house don't wake me
Don't you ever climb in here saying take me
Your body's moved, and it looks improved
The company's still the same
And letters from postmen
Star some other person's name, ahh
Magazines the end of me will show you
What type don't like I just might have to grow too
And I'm thinking clear
Because you're not here
Your funeral's marched my dear
Miss visiting elves sincere
But auctions off her, tears, ahh
I was caught and took down to the chamber
Where everybody said that you'd be safer
Where the black widow crawls
Capturin' the cabin fools
The games you, her own rules
And promises she still claims
Mistaken words for twos
The opening lines of the song "Now Your Time Has Come" by the band, The Last Shadow Puppets, describe a sense of frustration and annoyance over someone who keeps calling and visiting the house. The person is described as someone who is unwanted and uninvited. The singer pleads with them not to disturb him and not to ask for anything from him. He describes how the person's body may have changed, but ultimately the company is still the same, and they just bring back memories that he wants to forget.
The song then takes a darker turn as the singer talks about how magazines can show what kind of person someone is, and how he might have to change to fit that mould. The lyrics suggest that the singer is struggling to deal with the absence of someone he cared for deeply, and that he is contemplating drastic changes to fill the void. He speaks of clarity that comes from not having the person around, and also mentions their funeral, indicating they may have passed away. He then mentions a black widow crawling, capturing cabin fools and claiming promises, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for someone luring and trapping someone with their insincere promises.
Overall, the song captures a sense of loss, frustration, and confusion that comes with losing someone close. The lyrics hint at the internal struggle of finding ways to cope with the absence of someone who was once a significant part of your life.
