Song Details and Information
Don’t Know What Happens Tomorrow is both a love letter to music and a thank you letter to my favorite band, Bleachers. In fact, I started writing this song while I was at my most recent Bleachers concert. While on stage Jack Antonoff was talking about how much he missed performing after being unable to do so because of Covid. In his speech, he said, “I don’t know what happens tomorrow but we’re here tonight.” Immediately, I pulled out my phone, opened the notes app, and wrote in all caps CHORUS: DON’t KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TOMORROW BUT WE’RE HERE TONIGHT. The next morning, still on my post-concert high, I woke up and was on my way to a thrift store in Brooklyn and the first line to the first verse immediately popped into my head: “That night on the jersey shore, learned something new that I hadn’t known before.” Between those two pieces, the song kind of wrote itself.
Each of the verses describes my experiences at different bleachers concerts, the pre-chorus is me speaking directly to Jack, and the chorus is an anthemic reminder that truly any and every night has the potential to change your life. However, my favorite part of the song is the bridge. It has several bleachers references (like ‘late nights on the overpass you were there for me’ referencing their song I Wanna Get Better) and completes the story by giving the details as to why their music has had such a profound effect on my life. Sonically, there are tons of nods to the Bleachers but most importantly, I wanted this song to feel like you’re AT a concert which I believe I accomplished. Finally, I envision the song as a drunk night out with friends. My hope is that one day I’ll walk into a bar and a bunch of drunk friends will be arm and arm singing the outro “all I know is any night could CHANGE YOUR LIFE!”
