The Flaming Lips Release Their Tony-Nominated Track 'TOMORROW IS' From SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS the Musical

Thirty-five years into one of rock's wildest, weirdest, and most wonderful legacies, The Flaming Lips enjoy yet another career first in 2018. Though The Tony Awards may be over, the multiple GRAMMY® Award-winning Oklahoma band are honored to have received their first-ever Tony® Award nomination in the category of "Best Original Score" for their original composition "Tomorrow Is" from SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical.

An ebullient and empowering ballad with an uplifting message, the track remains a centerpiece of the acclaimed Broadway production. Front man Wayne Coyne recently discussed the nod, SpongeBob SquarePants, and so much more with Billboard in a wide-ranging interview.

To celebrate, The Lips release the original demo version of "Tomorrow Is" which The Lips have named "We Only Have Tomorrow (Demo Version)" on June 15 through all participating digital retailers. A treat for fanatics and fans of the musical alike, it captures the uncut spark of one of their most beautiful and moving compositions to date.
