“Tomorrow”, by Shakey Graves, is the type of song you listen to the morning of your wedding day. It fills your lungs with sweeter air, it helps your mind prioritize, it brings out your most romantic emotions within, and most importantly… It makes you FEEL something. Shakey’s voice is the absolutely perfect blend of raspy and smooth. His is the type of voice that makes you want to settle down and buy a house with a wrap around porch and spend the rest of your days picking the banjo outside on a rocking chair, sitting next to the one you love most. And if you ask me, that wouldn’t be settling at all. In short, this song is inspirational.
I didnt feel that it was overly romantic. It seemed to me that he was with a girl when he was younger who left him and he never really got over her and years later he was trying to get her back after having a plethora of other women (or perhaps they stayed together through the years, she gained a lot of weight and he had a plethora of other women and finally saw that she was the best option once she lost weight. Some of the first words talk about their childhood physique.) In truth I dont know what he was really talking about but it is a love song, I just dont think I would want to listen to it before my wedding day.
There's a feeling of improv in many of his songs, like he's making it up as he goes. But it's extremely natural too. I'm really falling in love with this guy's music!
Daniel Ryer yeh I agree, you can listen to a few versions of each song. there is some interference in this one, but it's my favourite version of this song.
Agreed. I'm not sure what 'it' is, but I'm thinking he has it. He's not trying to imitate anyone, and originality is hard to come by these days. He is quickly climbing my list of favs. I wish him the best. Cheers mates.
Shakey Graves is absolute perfection and he is so talented and his live versions don't sound like crap compared to some big artists of today. I am in LOVE with his music.
Also listen to Late July. Look up his AudioTree versions of some of his songs. I really like those performances a lot but he has a lot of other great ones as well.
I am in CO and I fuckin love Shakey Graves! His music is bee-U-ti-FULL! Ima try to see him at Red Rocks in June. I'm hoping I can go. Thank you sweet soul!
This is the best version of this song and sung with the most sincere manner. You can see in his glassy eyed composure. I wonder also if he was high at the time.
Discovered him at a City & Colour concert back in June & since than I can't get over him! He was INCREDIBLE live, gorgeous, the talent this man has, working 3 instruments at the same time and singing. He's perfection !!
If I would of known about him sooner I would of grabbed floor tickets!! I absolutely ADORE dallas & shakey just made everything that much more amazing by opening. 😀👌
Not to disrespect anyone, I mean it, but this version… this should have been the official out there on streaming platforms and everything. It’s beautiful. Just beautiful ❤️
The only other songmaker ive ever heard get all the way with this is Eddy Vedder . It was in the middle of recording the song "Society". It wasn't live, just the studio recording. Still, i heard it perfectly clear. Nothing interesting comments tho. No one has said one word about it. Not even me. Till now...🎉
Shakey Graves is amazing...Beautiful Soul...Ahhh what abreath of great music...HEART like John Prine.. and some Dustin Pittsley mix!! better than awesome
Lyrics for “Tomorrow” by Shakey Graves (via Genius w/ corrections for this version by me): Well, I'm tired of losing I used to win every night of the week Back when sex and amphetamines Were the staples of our childhood physique You used to tell me we'd turn into something Oh, you said life was much better than this Yeah, but the closest I've come to perfection Is when you turned around to steal a kiss But you never trusted tomorrow Baby is that anyway to live your life? You love the heart of my six string, girl But its been outta tune, oh for some time Yeah, well "Oh, I love so many women There's so many women, love, driving me wild" Yeah, they say you get lost in complexion And the structure of a well-placed smile But baby you, yeah well you never smile I say you, oh you, you never smile And it looks better that way Quite honestly Yeah looks better that way Looks better that way Oh, even though you never trusted tomorrow Oh, baby, that's just a problem of mine Yeah, I've been thrown around by some bad ones, girl Oh, and a good one was a new thing this time Oh, but you showed me that I couldn't be farther Yeah, from the truth of the problem at hand Yeah, I could never say "baby, tomorrow Oh, I'll be right there!" Oh, well I’ll be your man Yeah, well I'll be your man [belch]
He might be the best live performer I've ever seen. First clue is his music is better when NOT produced. Todd Snider is similar but Shaky is at a level above him. Just amazing!

This song sounds different every time he plays it, and yet I love all of them, which is highly impressive on his part.
Yeah man amazing.

I almost like this comment as much the song 😅❤️

My God, this man is a songwriting & musical genius.
Absolutely! Is this your favorite song of him?
No artist will ever make me feel the way Shakey does ❤️
Who could possibly dislike this man's music??? The colour of his voice gives me goosebumps and melts my heart.
I can't stop listening to this song...
Shakey has changed my life
DJ NORFEEZY Agreed.
Is everything this man creates a masterpiece of emotion, voice and guitar?
This is the best version of this song and sung with the most sincere manner. You can see in his glassy eyed composure. I wonder also if he was high at the time.
What a beautiful beautiful man and his music
Can just watch this over and over again, Shakey Graves is amazing.
Discovered him at a City & Colour concert back in June & since than I can't get over him! He was INCREDIBLE live, gorgeous, the talent this man has, working 3 instruments at the same time and singing. He's perfection !!
That's funny, I went there specifically to see Shakey XD
If I would of known about him sooner I would of grabbed floor tickets!! I absolutely ADORE dallas & shakey just made everything that much more amazing by opening. 😀👌
I love his style, it's surreal and makes me dig deep.
Not to disrespect anyone, I mean it, but this version… this should have been the official out there on streaming platforms and everything.
It’s beautiful. Just beautiful ❤️
This always makes me feel better.
Shakey can tell me Tomorrow any day of the week...my goodness...what a beautiful soul...what a performance...so much emotion....
he should make an ep with all the songs from this gig.
So haunting......I love the soul in this man's music.
His ability to keep rhythm dancing playing percussion guitar and singing blows me away

Shakey graves is a god

Never heard this. I dig it
Wow! I was speechless! The burp brought me back with a good laugh tho! That was incredible!
this is PERFECT
Lyrics for “Tomorrow” by Shakey Graves (via Genius w/ corrections for this version by me):
Well, I'm tired of losing
I used to win every night of the week
Back when sex and amphetamines
Were the staples of our childhood physique
You used to tell me we'd turn into something
Oh, you said life was much better than this
Yeah, but the closest I've come to perfection
Is when you turned around to steal a kiss
But you never trusted tomorrow
Baby is that anyway to live your life?
You love the heart of my six string, girl
But its been outta tune, oh for some time
Yeah, well "Oh, I love so many women
There's so many women, love, driving me wild"
Yeah, they say you get lost in complexion
And the structure of a well-placed smile
But baby you, yeah well you never smile
I say you, oh you, you never smile
And it looks better that way
Quite honestly
Yeah looks better that way
Looks better that way
Oh, even though you never trusted tomorrow
Oh, baby, that's just a problem of mine
Yeah, I've been thrown around by some bad ones, girl
Oh, and a good one was a new thing this time
Oh, but you showed me that I couldn't be farther
Yeah, from the truth of the problem at hand
Yeah, I could never say "baby, tomorrow
Oh, I'll be right there!"
Oh, well I’ll be your man
Yeah, well I'll be your man
[belch]
Thank you, lyrics fairy! Lol
Thanks!
Amo essa música e você , quando ouço essa música mesinto livre 💜
Somebody buy this man multiple beers.
lol ,undecided but couldn't stop listening. Okay decided, love it.
Great sound and so much talent.
wow so good!
Awesome. I can't wait.
This makes me cry
Same
The part "baby is that any way to live your life?" Is bringing me into detox
Thank you shakey graves for being there when I got sober. Saw you in a tiny shop in Madison wi
I was the 25 year old lady on the bench
Even the microphone is dancing
wow , that's nice .
He is amazing! Wow
Had to hear it 2 to see what I liked about him, liked it all,
First off how in the living hell does it have this many views that’s 4 times as much people already in Lubbock and y is it recommended 7 years later
The subtle burp lol love it
Such soul ❤❤
Crazy to think we put on a play in that very spot.
loved it
LOL I can't get over that he ended this with a belch. It takes quite the performer to do that on cue for their musical act
you da man shakey graves
Right Uptown!
He might be the best live performer I've ever seen. First clue is his music is better when NOT produced. Todd Snider is similar but Shaky is at a level above him. Just amazing!
i wish there was a link to download every live version at once lol
We're working on it.
awh thats awesome! :D I'd love to know asap. Thanks guys
LiveandBreathing How's that coming along??? :-)
Well, I'm tired of losing
I used to win every night of the week
Back when sex and amphetamines
Oh were the staples of our childhood physique
You used to tell me we'd turn into something
Oh, you said life was much better than this
Yeah, but the closest I've come to perfection
Is when you turned around to steal a kiss
But you never trusted tomorrow
Baby is that anyway to live your life?
Well, you love this heart and this six string, girl, oh
But it’s been outta tune yeah for some time
Well, you said, "Oh, I love so many women
Oh there's so many women I love and driving me wild"
Yeah, they say you get lost in complexion
And the structure of a well-placed smile
But you, oh, you never smile
Yeah, I say you, oh you never smile
Oh and it looks just a little bit better that way quite honestly
Oh but, you know, you never trusted tomorrow
Oh, baby, that's just a problem of mine
Yeah, I've been thrown around by some bad ones, girl
Oh, and a good one was a new thing this time
Yeah, but you showed me that I couldn't be farther
Oh, from the truth of the problem at hand
Oh, I could never say "Baby, tomorrow
Oh, I'll be right there, I'll be your man, ooh
Yeah, oh, I'll be your man, oooooh.”
I fucking love this song, wow.
Damn...... Good!
❤❤❤❤
We're working on it as we speak!
I live in texas

t'es un bon mec !
Is there anyway to download this on Apple Music? I come here to play this on repeat binges a couple times a year
This performance was incredible, but it was the burp at the end for me😂 did no one else notice this?
We're getting there, if you want to like our Facebook page you'll be sure to hear about it when it happens.
Haha he did, didn't think anyone would catch that : )
My man, love your song
