Stereophonics - Maybe Tomorrow
Album: You Gotta Go There to Come Back [2003]

frontman kelly jones was still licking some serious wounds due to the breakup of his 12-year relationship with his girlfriend and a fallout with his best friend. the band's 2001 release, "just enough education to perform", briefly touched upon his broken heart; however, jones' darkest period came later as the band played countless sold-out gigs across europe through late 2001 and 2002. he found himself personally and professionally isolated - emotionally disant and creatively exhausted. however, the fire that made this band a major force in the post-grundge english scene still burned, and stereophonics fourth album, "you gotta go there to come back" captures his soulful journey. the lyrics on "maybe tomorrow" read like something elliott smith would write on any given day. solid track.
