Yesterday's tomorrow is track 8 on Remedies for nothing, the 2025 debut album by Panacea, a four-piece grunge project from Brighton. It runs 3 minutes 30 seconds.
The future we planned at seventeen, and the one we actually got.
What is Yesterday's tomorrow about?
Yesterday's tomorrow looks back at the plans everyone makes as a teenager: famous by twenty-five, everything falling into place if you just keep the faith. Finn sings about those plans in the first verse; Maya answers with the reality, the old photos that don't match the mirror and the dreams that had to be shelved.
It isn't bitter so much as bittersweet. The chorus accepts that the future we were promised slipped through our hands, and that we're living in it anyway.
What does Yesterday's tomorrow sound like?
The most melodic and reflective song on the album: clean guitar verses building to a distorted chorus, closer to a grunge ballad.
