Remember Tomorrow Lyrics
Yesterday's sorrows, tomorrow's white lies.
Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher,
I shall return from out of fire.
Tears for somebody and this lonely boy.
Out in the madness, the all seeing eye,
Flickers above us, to light up the sky.
Yesterday's sorrows, tomorrow's white lies.
Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher,
I shall return from out of fire.
It was written by Paul Dianno in reference to his Grandfather who was a World War II Pilot
"The band Opeth covered it and they have a much better singer."
no they dont, Bruce Dickinson is one og the best singers ever. But the Opeth cover is a great cover, one of the best covers I've heard
Paul di Anno never was in the shadow of anybody. Him and bruce dickinson are 2 completely different singers.. Any comparison is stupid because the style of the songs are opposite. Iron Maiden and Killers are unique albums and differ from all the other iron maiden albums. It almost seems like two different groups. And that's just great. Opeth shouldnt touch such masterpieces.. I would never try to repaint picasso or leonardo da vinci.. Perfection doesnt need repetition
I know it's ntohing to do with this song but the lines
"Out in the madness, the all seeing eye, Flickers above us, to light up the sky"
sounds like it COULD have been related to The Lord Of The Rings. The 'all seeing eye' being the eye of Sauron
And on top of taht -
"Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher, I shall return from out of fire."
'The clouds take me higher' - meaning Frodo climbing Mount Doom.
'I shall return from out of the fire' - meaning Frodo WILL destroy the ring and WILL return home after conquering Sauron.
And like I said before, I know this song has nothing to do with LOTR, but listening to the song, it just gave me that impression and thoguh I'd share it :)
as an extremely long time Tolkien fan(/scholar i suppose), i had similar thoughts, with regard to the "all seeing eye" and "return out of the fire" lines, at any rate. given what P. Dianno has said, i seriously doubt that there is any intentional reference. remember that the metaphor of the phoenix and the image of the all seeing eye were/are prevalent in literature long before Tolkien wrote anything about them (and he founded much of his writing on such scraps of existing legend... though mostly Norse & Christian). The author says its about a bombing run,...

The author says its about a bombing run, so the similarities are probably knitted together by our fertile minds.
The unmistakable Tolkien references do make sense, as Tolkien was influenced by his time in the first world war. Although Diano was writing about the second world war, I think the references still coincide.
The title Remember Tomorrow suggest that the authors inner dialogue is one of self reassurance, reminding himself what he is doing this for. Perhaps on his way to a sorty or bombing raid. I get the impression of a fighter plane or bomber, breaking through the clouds, from the dank and grey world below to the sunshine and light above the clouds. A blast of light and colour, unchained before his eyes. Perhaps giving him some comfort. Yesterdays sorrows, tomorrow's white lies... the ralities of War and how they affect one and how we cover them up with white lies. Scanning the horizon it feels as if he is floating on the clouds as they lift him higher, perhaps lifting his spirits somewhat, that he will survive this one and return. Tears of remembrance.... etc He has mixed emotions of all the sorrow and tears felt by him, and wondering if there will be tears for him. Above him the Sun shines down reminding him of the eye of his God that seas everything and is looking down upon him. The last vers, a repeat of the first. The crescendo as he enters into the Fire of the battle....
