Tomarrow

Happy New Year! I am going to start something fun this year: a theme week at the beginning of every month.

To start, I thought I’d deal with something everyone with a textual tattoo fears: Tattoo Misspellings.

Most people who get words tattooed onto their bodies double-, triple-, or even quadruple-check spelling and punctuation. These people? Not so much.

Day 1: Who is Tom Arrow?

tomarrow never knows tattoo

“Tomorrow Never Knows” is the final track of The Beatles’ album Revolver. I wonder when this person realized their tattoo was misspelled?

There are places I remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I’ve loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I’ll never ever lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I’ll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

Though I know I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I’ll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more

- In My Life, From The Beatles’ Rubber Soul album

Love, Love, Love. Love, Love, Love. Love, Love, Love.
There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done.
Nothing you can sing that can’t be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how
to play the game. It’s easy.
Nothing you can make that can’t be made.
No one you can save that can’t be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how
to be you in time. It’s easy.

All you need is love. All you need is love.
All you need is love, love. Love is all you need.
All you need is love. All you need is love.
All you need is love, love. Love is all you need.

Nothing you can know that isn’t known.
Nothing you can see that isn’t shown.
Nowhere you can be that isn’t where you’re meant to be. It’s easy.

All you need is love. All you need is love.
All you need is love, love. Love is all you need.
All you need is love (All together, now!) All
you need is love. (Everybody!)
All you need is love, love. Love is all you
need (love is all you need).

Yee-hai!
Oh yeah!
She loves you, yeah yeah yeah.
She loves you, yeah yeah yeah.

- The Beatles, All You Need Is Love
