"A New Wind for Tomorrow"[1][2][3] (alternatively named"Tomorrow is another day"[4]) is thestaff credits theme ofKirby's Dream Land, composed byJun Ishikawa.
Composition[edit]
Much like its title screen counterpart "Welcome to Dream Land", "A New Wind for Tomorrow" plays in C major at 4/4. It begins with a short intro segment consisting of a sequence of three rising notes, similar to the middle section of "Green Greens". Its melody starts on the first beat of the bar with a dotted rising fourth to the tonic, followed by a slowly ascending passage back to the dominant. The second phrase descends the tonic triad and ends on a dominant harmony. The first phrase repeats, but in place of the second phrase comes a subdominant harmony, where its resolution leads to a brief A minor landing. Upon several harmonic progressions the dominant is once again reached, and a brief descending arpeggio in unison is followed up by the repetition of the first section with a different ending.
The middle section plays in A major with a harmonized melody. This section has descending tendencies despite still featuring the trio of rising notes. Another harmonic progression leaves this section on an A major sixth before a sequence of chords that helped transition to this section leads back to a longer and more harmonized intro section culminating in dominant triplets, after which the track loops.
