The lead track off the Gorillaz first release. Understated but an ideal song to spark interest. Hip Hop drumbeats, plus eerie strings, hushed vocals and authentic melodica combine into a classic track. Tomorrow Comes Today evolved out of a demo that was released as a bonus track on the Japanese edition of the Blur album '13' called 'I Got Law (demo)'. That track is clearly a Damon home demo and most of the lyrics changed and the final result was definitely less bright, they are unmistakeably the same idea.
