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".
Three Jolly Little Dwarfs
Tomorrow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sun, is very very bright, leaving little shadows
One wears red
One wears green
Another one blue
Are they true?
Three, jolly little dwarfs, sitting on their toadstools
Sitting at home
Beard so long
Little short legs
Keeps them warm
Danger lurks
Late at night
But there's no one there in sight
But a sound
Or a light
Can turn their peace to fright
And the giant appears
And a deep noise fills their ears
And his footsteps shake the ground
And their little, house falls down
Three jolly little dwarfs running round the meadow
The sun, is very very bright, leaving little shadows
One wears red
One wears green
One wears blue
Are they true?
Danger lurks
Late at night
But there's no one there in sight
But a sound
Or a light
Can turn their peace to fright
And the giant appears
And a deep noise fills their ears
And his footsteps shake the ground
And their little, house falls down
The lyrics to Tomorrow's song 'Three Jolly Little Dwarfs' appear to be about three dwarfs who are living their lives happily in a meadow. The song speaks to the cheerful and carefree nature of the three dwarfs, who run around and sit on toadstools in the sunshine. The lines "one wears red, one wears green, another one blue, are they true?" suggest that their bright, colorful clothing adds to the jolly atmosphere of their lives.
However, as the song progresses, the lyrics indicate that danger lurks, and the peaceful existence of the dwarfs is threatened by the appearance of a giant. The lyrics paint a vivid image of the giant's appearance, with the deep noise he makes and the shaking of the ground indicating the immense size and strength of the character. The final lines reveal that their house, likely made of mushrooms or some other similar small material, falls down at the giant's approach, continuing the theme of danger and loss.
It's possible that the lyrics are trying to communicate a message of resilience in the face of danger. The dwarfs continue to run around the meadow and sit on their toadstools, even as late-night danger threatens their peace. Despite the loss of their home, they continue to be jolly, suggesting that they will find a way to persevere.
