Maybe Tomorrow

This song probably qualifies for my "All Time Top 5". I've listened to this song so many times, I should hate it by now. I think it's about how we all feel down and depressed from time to time, but that it's important to find joy and happiness from wherever possible. Someday you'll find something which truly makes you happy, and which makes you stay that way; even when you're down and depressed.

// I've been down and I'm wondering why These little black clouds Keep walking around With me With me//

He's depressed, can't figure out why all the shit in life happens to him. We all feel that way when we're down, but we also know - deep down - that shit happens to everyone.

// It wastes time And I'd rather be high Think I'll walk me outside And buy a rainbow smile But be free They're all free//

We know that being depressed is just a waste of time, but that doesn't stop us. The easiest way of escaping a depression is getting out there, looking for a smile where you can find it. The beauty of a rainbow can bring a smile to your face if you let it, and the damn thing's even free. Being happy is free, it should be free.

// So maybe tomorrow I'll find my way home So maybe tomorrow I'll find my way home //

I think "find my way home" is a metaphore for finding his own true source of happiness. For some, it's getting that job they've always wanted. For others, it's finally meeting the guy/girl of their dreams. Others have always wanted a baby, but haven't had the luck so far. Maybe their application for an adoption went through, or whatever. If you just keep reaching for the simple joys in life, and never giving up, the true source of happiness will come along, you'll find your way home.

I think that the last verses describes how he feels everyone else has their source of happiness, how he's been everywhere, feeling everything, not still having found his true source. I think it's about staying in there, having the patience, taking the time you need to get what you need, and it will come true.

Long comment, but for an "All-time top 5"; I think it's worth it... :)

I know this is a little different but to me, I think it's about someone whose life is perfect to those on the outside looking in. Even though life should be great, something is missing... some sort of void.

This song reminds me of Tim Henman at Wimbledon LOL

i thnk its about being depressed or something and always looking for happiness (find a my way home) and the "we breathe" means that no matter what we still stay strong and get through it all

such a good song, why are there no comments yet?!

I'm wondering the same thing, Heart. Great song - I absolutely love how it sounds. Just really, really soothing.

Especially the background vocals! Unbelievable!

i heard it at the end of crash in the credits and i came straight home to download it. i love it!

Awesome live song.

when i'm depressed i listen to this song and my mind cries because every word in this song is what i am thinking. i can't describe the meaning within it but i'm sure you have a song that makes you feel the same.

my favourite stereophonics song.
