About this song
- On “Tomorrow’s Dust,” Kevin writes again on the theme of time, the most prominent motif of The Slow Rush. He points to the temporary nature of “yesterday” and how passing days immediately become the past, urging the listener to not focus on yesterday and forget it as the title of the track, “Tomorrow’s Dust.” Previously, the track was thought to be titled “Wild Horses” due to a copyright strike on a fan-made mashup on January 4, 2019. The mashup included the song in the trailer for the project, released October 24, 2019. The woman on the phone at the end of the song is confirmed to be Kevin’s wife, Sophie Lawrence. Kevin speaks about this part in an February 2020 interview with triple J: “I wanted to get her talking on the phone, and so much of this album has to do with the future and what’s going to happen and the rest of your life, kind of thing. She spent some time in London and when she came home she was kinda like at a loss, where she felt like she didn’t know where she was going in life and the future was so uncertain.“ “Our regrets tomorrow are our actions now. Future memories are present-day current events. Tomorrow’s dust is in today’s air, floating around us as we speak.“ - Kevin Parker .
