about

The song Tomorrow was a way for Ricardo to express his feelings about the sin of Sloth which is the sin of being too lazy to complete the tasks at hand. It's the idea of lacking the motivation to successfully do something, no matter how important it may be. It's the feeling of procrastination, of hopelessness, and of letting things pile up until it's too late.

The song starts with a spatial intro as it was a huge hangover, slowly waking up to the reality that everything is behind us. Orchestra was recorded twice as fast and then slowed down to give a sluggish feeling. The main blast beats are mixed with a reggae melody to bring the idea of sloth home, while a real snore, sampled and low-tuned, was also included after that. The riff that starts at 1:22 made a palindrome with the Orchestra, just because… Finally, the first solo of Terrance Hobbs was reversed until the last notes at 2:30, while the lyrics from the chorus and the voice actor were something Ricardo had heard from a famous musician, which had only made him more frustrated while making this album.

Although Tomorrow… is a song about the sin of Sloth it is a reminder to Ricardo to try his best to stay motivated and productive. That even though it might take extra effort, it was worth it in the end.

"Even I got lazy after all this text... I think I'll drink and continue tomorrow..."

lyrics

Laying around on the couch drinking my wine
with a sluggishness that shackles me down
Too busy scrolling social media and binge-watching movies

A pile of work on my desk - I don't feel like doing it
A pile of socks on the ground - I'll catch 'em later
A pile of dirty dishes - I couldn't care less
Take it easy, I'll fix it later

The work is done when it gets done
It is what it is
I'll have a look at that tomorrow...
