With the fastest rising single of his career racing up the charts, 'Nashville Star' winner and old soul Chris Young has just released a makeout-filled new video for "Tomorrow." The impassioned love tune, might be the most traditional song you hear on country radio in 2011, was released in February as seventh single release of his career, and the lead single from Young's upcoming third studio album, "Neon," due in stores this summer.The song is actually a tender, lovelorn ballad that tugs unmercifully at your heart strings, no matter how stoic or emotionally thick-skinned you might be. With "Tomorrow," he's singing about a more fully-formed adult dilemma, and it's about how agonizing it is to tear yourself away from a deteriorating relationship and how you cling to it for one final night before walking away. "Tomorrow" centers around a tired theme - "I'm gonna love you like there's no tomorrow" – but he fits it with a twist. One of the most promising young acts in the genre, the Middle Tennessee native and recent Grammy Award nominee has struggled at times to find songs worthy of his talent.
Young, sounding emotionally drained from the experience, feels compelled to do the right thing and let his lover go. He neatly sums up the story of their volatile relationship. Though their rocky romance is addictive, he decides it's time to free himself of the angry fights and frayed nerves that go along with it. This bittersweet message is wrapped up with plenty of fiddle and steel, and the addition of electric guitar in key moments gives "Tomorrow" a strong push forward. With his rich, warm baritone and penchant for writing classic songs, Young makes for one of country's finest voices, offers an emotionally restrained performance that expresses his anguish without any lung-busting trills.
Directed by Trey Fanjoy, the video for "Tomorrow" was shot last month at a farmhouse in Liberty, Tennessee. It features Young, who was recently crowned Country Weekly's Hottest Bachelor, as a man who knows a fiery relationship isn't right for either person but still doesn't want to let go of the woman he loves. The 25-year-old country star and his female co-star act out the song about a couple that just knows their relationship is doomed. We've all had one of those relationships, where it's damn near impossible to let go even when it's for the best, and that's what gives the song such a universal appeal.
