The Move

This Time Tomorrow

It’s from the year 1970, as far as I remember. There was a fine song which was dedicated to a boy named Curly , a number 5 hit for The Move with one of the band’s members having been a really strange person: composer and lead singer Roy Wood.
“This Time Tomorrow” was actually the B-side of the hit single, I mentioned above. But over the years, it has become an A-side to me. It’s a smooth and musical composition. And if you’re getting older and older, like I do, you feel a special atmosphere that is creeping into you. There is a lot of melancholy and sadness to the song, which deals with one of the most essential and elemental things in life, i.e. leaving a good friend.

Surprisingly, the song ends a little noisy. Maybe the composers were looking for an extraordinary ending, maybe they wanted to make something special by using modern technology. But anyway, the ending only shows that it is music, poetry, literature, art and finally also our life that fade away at some point.

This conclusion may be sad, but it is also true.

Song.
