}} "For Tomorrow" is a song by English alternative rock band Blur. It is the lead track to their second album, ''Modern Life Is Rubbish'' (the title appears in the lyric). Released 19 April 1993 as the first single from the album, "For Tomorrow" charted at number 28 in the UK Singles Chart. The Visit To Primrose Hill Extended version of "For Tomorrow" was included in the band's compilation albums, ''Blur: The Best of'', (being the only song from ''Modern Life Is Rubbish'' to be featured) and ''Midlife: A Beginner's Guide to Blur''. ==Single background== In this period the band had gone on a tour of the USA which they greatly detested, especially as the country was the home of grunge and audiences were not receptive to their music. After that tour lead singer Damon Albarn started to write songs with a very British feel. This was one such song, written on Christmas Day 1992 at the family piano in his parents' house. David Balfe, the head of the band's record company, commissioned this song as the original album did not have any hit singles. Like the rest of ''Modern Life Is Rubbish'', the song was produced by Stephen Street, although Jeff Lynne was also considered as a possible producer. The chorus features a la la la refrain, sung by female backing singers, whom Street instructed to sing like Thunderthighs on the classic Mott the Hoople singles. Guitarist Graham Coxon explained that "Everyone, wherever they are in the world knows what la la la means."〔 A string section, The Duke String Quartet, was also used by the band for the first time.〔 The single cover of the two World War II fighter planes was used by the band as a sense of Britishness.〔() ''Last accessed: 24 March 2007''〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「For Tomorrow」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
