This is a great single

""What Happens Tomorrow" is a great song, and it's nice to see that radio is giving it a chance. The first Duran single ("Sunrise") from their newly released (2004) album ASTRONAUT (which features the original lineup) was a hit, and this song deserves the same treatment. "What Happens Tomorrow" reminds me a lot of "Ordinary World"...not by the sound of it, but in the way the song starts off simply but builds to a dramatic finish. The lyrics also seem to collect a lot of the emotion and feelings of these uncertain times.



"Silent Icy River" is basically something the band seems to have concocted in the studio...playing around with different sounds and snippets, but the lyric is quite catchy. Simon LeBon repeats it over and over, and the middle part of the song includes the lyrics that were dropped from "What Happens Tomorrow"....the 'time is a ribbon' part.



I'm not usually a big fan of remixes, but the treatment "What Happens Tomorrow" gets in this remix is very listenable, so it's a nice rarity to have.



This is recommended if you can find it, it's strictly a European import. If you can't, the ASTRONAUT album is highly recommended...it beat my (and many professional music critics) expectations. By the way, if you can see these guys live...be sure to attend. They are an excellent live band!"
Great song- but extras are unfulfilling

"Being a Duran completist, I had to have both parts to this cd single. Sadly, the Harry Peat Remix of this amazing song lacks any energy. It rips the passion & urgency completely out & turns "What Happens Tomorrow" into a trancey, chilled-out lounge-fest. Boring.



"Silent Icy River" is less than 3 minutes long and is only a fraction of a song. It's merely a piece of music built around the 3rd verse of "What Happens Tomorrow," which was ultimately edited from the album version. Interesting & artsy- but a true B-side would have been nice.



The video for "What Happens Tomorrow" is also included here. A young couple in love lay atop their car in an empty mall parking lot & look at the stars. The starry sky then turns into Duran Duran. The band looks great, but this is not exactly their brightest concept.



I love Duran Duran, but someone needs to hook them up with better remixers & video directors. This does not live up to their legacy."
A great single

"This one is not getting the attention it deserves. Radio programmers today seem to be stuck in a rut of teen pop, mindless novelty dance songs, and trite hip-hop/ rap records. I suppose they are ultimately giving the fans what they are asking for. But this lovely ballad blows just about anything I've heard in a long time right out of the water. And I do quite enjoy the Harry Peat remix. It is JUST groovy enough, and adds a nice touch to an otherwise rock-ish ballad. Great lyrics. Very nice production. Subtle but powerful. The return of the orginal Duran Duran lineup hasn't stirred up nearly as much attention in the USA as it has in Great Britain, where they are consistantly selling out huge arenas like they did in their early to mid Eighties heyday, that that's really our loss. The Astronaut album from which this came is a really great album, and surprised even me, exceeding my expectations. And this song might just be my favourite one of the bunch. Their best ballad since "Ordinary World" snuck out of nowhere in 1993 and took the world by storm, heralding the second comback of DD. I had hoped this would be the 3rd, but the realist and cynic in me understands that they aren't the flavour of the month anymore. Just a damn fine pop/rock band doing what they do best. By all means worth every penny of the import price."
