| Song |
"Someday" is a 2003 single by the band Nickelback, the first one from their 2003 album The Long Road. It reached number one in Canada for three weeks and #7 in the United States. It also charted in the Top 10 of the UK singles chart, where it peaked at #6.
The lyrics chronicle a failed relationship; the singer talks about how his lover is preparing to leave and wonders "how the hell'd we wind up like this". He wishes that they could discuss their issues instead of breaking up.
In the music video, we get the same impression that the song is about a failed relationship: a woman bursts into tears after reading a newspaper with someone who appears to be her boyfriend close by her side. As she leaves the house with a suitcase (echoing the lyrics "I wish you'd [...] unpack your suitcase"), we can see the boyfriend stepping into spilled milk without leaving any traces. Later in the street, the woman leaves crying in her car while the boyfriend is apparently trying to convince her to come back, but she just cries more. She drives off and as she looks into her rear-view mirror, she can only see an empty street where her boyfriend was standing only seconds ago. The boyfriend chases her through the street up to a car accident that kills her in front of his eyes. Her spirit resurrects and she can be seen walking to her boyfriend and smiling.
Eventually, the two reunite and we see a newspaper vending machine, revealing that the boyfriend died the day before. On the iTunes version, the woman walks away from the accident alive and unharmed. The man then hugs her from behind, but she walks away from him and he disappears.
The song appears on the game Karaoke Revolution Volume 3.
