Madness - Tomorrow's (Just another Day)

Showcasing their uncanny skill at juxtaposing fairly downbeat subject matter with a jolly tune and a big chorus, Madness released 'Tomorrow's (Just Another Day)' as a single in 1983, when it stayed in UK chart for nine weeks and peaked at #8. Taken from their fourth studio album, The Rise & Fall (1984), the video was filmed at a more serious point in the band's career as they moved away from the nutty ska quality of their earlier work to a more sophisticated pop sound. They got to wear fancy dress though: they were still Madness, after all.

Behind all that comedy lies a lot of melancholy and superb musical phrases I’ve never heard before! Madness sound will last for ages. With all my respect for the band members, Mike Barson is a fucking genius !

It’s hard for me to comprehend that I’m now 50 this month and the first cassette I ever owned was the Rise and Fall and then Madness 7. I was around 10 or 11 and listening to them on a small radio cassette recorder with a single speaker in my tiny bedroom. Fast forward 40 years and I’m back in the family home, mam and dad have passed away and I’ve moved back in after a pointless relationship... late on June the 12th I played The Rise and Fall going from 49 to 50.... why? I’m not sure but it was memorable and I was pretty drunk 😵

Such a talented band, they could make their music both melancholy and joyful at the same time.

[Tik_taalik]

The music of Madness perfectly accommodates what goes on in my head 99.9% of the time.

I was a teenager in the 80s...i appreciate all the 80s bands MORE now...Quality fun and full of MEANINGS...Todays music is NOTHING compared to this....

[Celiko]

This song perfectly sums up lockdown in the UK

[AlgernonMoncrieff]

Madness, the most English of all British bands. Will love them forever ❤

[JudyGurl]

One of the best bands of the 80s ? Nay...one of the best bands ever.

[annascoria]

My opinion is not important, but I wish I could tell these guys how beautiful this song is.

[colettevalvonahealy]

I don't understand why folks see this as dark. It's saying we all have shit times but next day could be different. I find it a real uplifting song if your in that place that you just need a little hope on the possibility of things being different tomorrow! It's my blue mood go to song!

I'm so pleased the intro from the Greatest Hits VHS is included here....This video just wouldn't be the same without the Murphy's Ford Cargo tipper truck heading back to their Tottenham Hale yard... 💚👍☘😉

I sometimes feel like the bit where Suggs is trying and failing to catch the flying umbrellas. This stuff makes my life a better place. Thanks guys.

[jonathanvince]

People forget what this band had done and the meanings of their songs. They are just amazing all past present band members are important to worlds music.

[robertvermeer]

Unlike modern music, where they flash around $$$ and babes you never get, this music actually made you feel good about your own life.

[kingkarlos-gfxt]

Why can't we have music like this anymore?

[ziggypop]

Madness' music was so clever, technically as well as just being great tunes and great videos

[deborahanderson]

Can’t wait to see you at the O2 later on in the year. I love you Madness
