“Tomorrow Wendy” by Concrete Blonde

Andy Prieboy wrote "Tomorrow Wendy" and recorded it first, as a duet with Johnette Napolitano, and in 1990 Napolitano brought it to Concrete Blonde for Bloodletting, the band's third studio album. Prieboy stuck around as a guest on keyboards, Gail Ann Dorsey came in as a guest on bass, James Mankey plays guitar and Paul Thompson drums, and Chris Tsangarides produced with the band.

It's a song built on a real death. Prieboy based it on a woman he'd known since they were both kids in East Chicago, Indiana, who drifted into drugs and prostitution and, after an HIV diagnosis, chose a heroin overdose over dying of an AIDS-related illness. He pictured it as Wendy talking to her own reflection, full of rage, and the economic state of his hometown fed into it as well.
