"Maybe Tomorrow" is the heart of You Gotta Go There to Come Back, Stereophonics' fourth album from 2003, and Kelly Jones wrote it and produced it himself. It's the Welsh band slowing way down: Jones plays guitar, Wurlitzer and Mellotron, Tony Kirkham adds Rhodes and more Mellotron, and Richard Jones and Stuart Cable keep a low, patient groove underneath while Jack Joseph Puig's mix leaves plenty of smoky air. That jazzy haze marked a clear turn away from the classic rock bluster of Just Enough Education to Perform.
Released as a single in July 2003, it climbed to number three in the UK, their best showing until "Dakota" went all the way in 2005, and it cracked the top five on Billboard's Triple-A chart in America. Hollywood heard it too: it opened Wicker Park and played over the closing credits of Crash.
