Yesterday Suddenly Now Venn Diagram

Today’s pick: the Venn that folds a whole song into three circles leads the home page today — worn in its natural habitat, a record shop, bins of vinyl on both sides and the chorus already stuck in your head.

Three circles, one broken heart. This Venn diagram turns the Beatles’ ‘Yesterday’ into a visual puzzle: ‘Yesterday,’ ‘Suddenly’ and ‘Now’ overlap, and each slice of the overlap holds a piece of the song’s story — the calm that was, the shock of ‘suddenly,’ and the long now of trying to move on. Black ink, bold type, nothing extra: it reads like a page torn out of a retro songbook.

It is a small, smart piece of pop art — the kind that makes people stop, read it twice, and start humming. It belongs anywhere a song has ever followed you around: a studio wall, a music room, or the front of a well-loved tee.

Songs turned into pictures are a studio habit here. The same hand also drew a certain love song as a wall calendar — meet Eight Days A Week.
