Two of Us by The Beatles

All yesterday I had a song stuck in my head, but it was just the melody, and I couldn’t figure out what the hell it was. Finally I narrowed it down to being The Beatles, and with some help from my friend Nick, we figured out that it was the song Two of Us. I have no idea why I’ve had this song on repeat on my brain, I was just happy to finally figure out what it was. The song is the first track on Let It Be and came out in 1970.

I decided to use this obsessive impulse to figure out what the song was to make a fun cover for the song, almost like if the single was released today. I felt kind of Japanese inspired while designing it, though the song has nothing like that in it. Mostly I was trying to stay away from the idea of two people, or a house, I wanted something more abstract. So after a couple hours of searching, I decided that a pair of eggs were not only random, but kind of funny. They needed a lot of work, the original photo looks nothing like that, but I like how polished and perfect they look. I also like that the text is almost completely hidden, almost hard to see compared to the bright yellow of the yolks.

Hopefully this makes for a good wake up song for a lot of you!

  1. Nice work. I didnt even notice the text when i first scanned past this image. I agree, its cool that it is quite hard to read. I love how the eggs are so shiny too.

  2. that’s cool, I missed the text too. I hate when I can’t work out songs that are stuck in my head! When I sing them to other people I often get blank looks… so I stopped doing that !!

  5. Great track and cover. You should consider posting kitsune noir singles during moments like this, along side the full length mixtapes.

    Its also great to see where you’ve taken the image past the original shot.

    Thanks alot!

  7. And of course the image has further Beatles significance as the words ‘Scrambled Eggs’ were the original lyrics to ‘Yesterday’ when it was first being written.

  8. Perhaps it’s because this song was sung by my sister & bro-in-law at the Show-Off Show?
