"Tomorrow" is a song by Australian alternative rock band Silverchair and was their breakthrough single from their debut album Frogstomp, which was released in 1994 in their home country and 1995 in the US. The song reached number one on both the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks and the Album Rock Tracks charts in the United States, and made #28 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart.^[1] In Australia, the song reached the top of the Australian singles chart. In the UK, the song made #59 on the UK Singles Chart in September 1995.^[2]

Silverchair's lead singer Daniel Johns said this about the song in an interview: "I saw on SBS once this documentary about a poor guy that takes a rich guy to a poor persons' hotel to experience what it's like being a poor person and that. And the rich guy is complaining to get out and that, and he has to wait 'til tomorrow to get out of the hotel and that."

The song was performed on Saturday Night Live.^[3] It was also featured in an episode of Beavis and Butt-head. At the start, they started singing Boston's "More Than a Feeling", then concluded that the song was stupid.

The song was performed live during the early leg of the Neon Ballroom tour in 1999, and has not been played since. Frontman Daniel Johns asserts that he prefers to play his newer, more experimental material in concert.

The song is a downloadable track on Guitar Hero World Tour.

The song "Stoned" from the Australian single release features in the Kevin Smith film Mallrats.^[4] Also, the song "Blind" was in the movie Cable Guy along with its soundtrack.

Music video

Two different music videos were released to promote the single. The version shown the United States used many clichés of a typical grunge rock music video. Such examples include: harsh lighting, especially on the face; various disturbing images, such as a pig eating money; quick shifting between random images; and handwritten notes, also used in "Pearl Jam's" video for "Jeremy".
