"No Tomorrow" is a song by Hollywood, California-based rock band Orson and is featured on their 2006 debut album, Bright Idea. It was released as the lead single from that album in late February 2006, eventually climbing to the top of the UK Singles Chart three weeks after its release. Despite entering the charts at #5 (selling 22,337), No Tomorrow climbed two weeks later to gain the top spot, making the band break yet another record, which was the lowest weekly sales of a UK number 1 single ever, selling only 17,694 copies. The single went on to be the UK's twelfth best selling single of the 2006.[1]

The single, however, had previously been released as a free download on the iTunes music store where it became the most downloaded single of the week to date.

The song has made a dramatic comeback of late in June 2007, being played by radio stations and nightclubs all over the country. This is mainly due to it being a 'summery' sounding song.

[edit] Music Video

The music video is a mix between the band playing and the singer going to a club with a girl (from the picking her up to ending up with her). It features the attention focused on a circular light that moves around the screen and allows you to see through; the rest of the picture is darker than what's shown in the light and sometimes goes all black. On the 18th August 2006 the song was unofficially dedicated to Matthew James Entwistle, 15, who died in a motocross accident in Whitworth, England.
