Think about it: this song is such an obvious contender for a lead single, and yet it hasn’t been released as a single at all. It’s as if Thom didn’t want to be perceived as pandering to playlists, but knew he’d written a great song and wanted to release it anyway. And that makes me Smile. :)

30 years of unique, top level creativity

Thom's voice has aged like fine wine

[RustinChole]

I love hearing Thom sing enthusiastically again.🥰

[suzycat]

I'm feeling Cure vibes with this catchy song & Thoms voice.
Simple lyrics yet so profound ~ " Get it while you can, or get sad & just get mean ". 👍🏻😻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This makes me nostalgic for the early 80s. Even the way Thom is singing is reminiscent of electronic new wave bands back then.

My absolute favorite on the album, the energy just resonates with you.

It's a terrible shame
It's a terrible shame, I know
It's a brutal game
Gonna have to let you go
I'm stuck in a rut
And I can't find my way out

And the sides are closing in

We don't know what tomorrow brings
We don't know what tomorrow brings
We don't know what tomorrow brings
We don't know what tomorrow brings
We don't know what tomorrow brings
We don't know what tomorrow brings
We don't know what tomorrow brings
We don't know what tomorrow brings
We don't know what tomorrow brings

It's a terrible shame
And the grass is always green
Get it while you can
Or get sad and then get mean
I'm stuck in a rut
In a flatland drainage ditch

And I'm drowning in irrelevance

We don't know what tomorrow brings
We don't know what tomorrow brings
We don't know what tomorrow brings
We don't know what tomorrow brings
We don't know what tomorrow brings
We don't know what tomorrow brings
We don't know what tomorrow brings
We don't know what tomorrow brings
We don't know what tomorrow brings
We don't know what tomorrow brings
We don't know what tomorrow brings
We don't know what tomorrow brings
We don't know what tomorrow brings
We don't know

this album is so creative and adorable.

This song feels like it should be on the soundtrack of some gritty Cyberpunk thriller movie.
All of the songs on ALFAA sound cinematic in different ways, honestly!

[Straaaayyyy]

We really don't know what tomorrow brings Thom spitting facts

[sudanbewaobdedebo]

This has to be listened to on a good pair of headphones 🎧 It allows you to hear all the little nuances and makes it sound 10 times better, as if that is even possible!!!

[jox]

This will be a Smile's classic in a couple of years

[justwiln]

Every song on the album is good but this might be my favorite, so much energy

[purppflames]

THE ENDING IN THIS IS JUST EPIC AF, THE SYNTH GIVES YOU THE FINAL CHILL 😶😶😶😶

[Sadlittleatticboy]

I bet this track smacks you in the face live.

[Jayclark]

The whole album is BRILLIANT but this song is definitely my favorite

[davidschlenstedt]

the whole record is a whole masterpiece ❤️

[jonathanchavez]

Reminds me of Jigsaw Falling into Place

80s vibes and I love it! So different for them and what a tune!
