“Dear Today” by Luke Combs
“Dear Today” centers on getting one’s priorities right. Composed in a letter format, Luke Combs personifies ‘Tomorrow’ as the author of a letter to ‘Today’, in which he advises the present to do the most important things first.
He suggests that the decisions taken by ‘Today’ always affects him; signifying that present choices affect future outcomes. He pleads with him to first take care of stuff such as checking up on family, getting married to his girlfriend, and ultimately stop taking tomorrow for granted. The essence of this song is to remind individuals to quit being busy with unnecessary things and to prioritize the things that truly matter in life. And the reason this is important is because tomorrow is not promised.
Luke Combs in a twitter post shared that the song is a letter from “Tomorrow” to Today, which is to remind himself and others to do the things that are most important to them. And among these important things include spending time with friends, family and focusing on their lives.
Summary
Succinctly put, this is a true inspirational song that encourages listeners to endeavor to make the best out of time as they have it. It seeks to break the hinge of procrastination or misplaced priorities and drum home the importance of accomplishing the most important things first.
