Listen to ‘Tomorrow Never Comes’ here:
My name is Janneck Schmacke and I’m 22 year old. This is my second participation after last year’s “Heaven Made Me Knowing You”. It has always been a dream for me to create my own songs because music has always been the most important thing in my life. Even though usually I’m not a too emotional person, music is the place to free all my emotions, usually as a listener. In this case as a musician I tried to work all my feelings into the music, which was more or less a new thing for me as I usually write fun songs rather.
“Tomorrow Never Comes” is the most personal song I have ever worked on. Three years ago my uncle surprisingly died after a heart attack. He was probably the fun- niest guy I ever knew and the only family member who would not start an argu- ment because of every little thing. Even though we only met around twice a year because he lived far away from my home, we had a very close relation. When I was a kid he was the one who always played with me, no matter how stupid my ideas were, while all the other family members told me to ask later again. In any game he was as ambitious as me and I loved how he never let me win on purpose but always took it seriously instead. Sadly, he was living a very unhealthy lifestyle (‘like there’s no tomorrow’ – that’s how the title came about) and never took enough care of himself. When he died, my family never really got together again. Usually I get over things pretty well but in this case I’m still thinking about him a lot. One night I couldn’t sleep because of that and lying in my bed that melody and the line “can you tell me where you’re hiding, hiding from the best of life” came into my head and the next day I decided to build a song around it for him and who knows, maybe he’ll have a listen.
Tomorrow Never Comes
You never failed a punchline
Still I’m smiling bout a few
I hope they will remember
All the joy there was in you
No one tried to read you
No one ever understood
So now there’s no one making me laugh
The way that you would
All the time we had were minutes
But the things you left they’ll last for another life
Can you tell me where you’re hiding
Hiding from the best of life
Cause tomorrow never comes for you
Can you tell me are you flying
Out there in the open wide
Your tomorrow never comes
Yeah, tomorrow never comes for you
Never got what you deserved
No, never found your missing piece
Your wishes stayed unheard
So you gave up all your dreams
I try to carry your soul To all places that I see
I ain’t good in being who you were
So I just take you with me
If we just had another minute
I’d tell you that you meant something to me
I’ll sent a rocket on it’s way
Sparkles words I need to say
Ignites whenever I roam for you
