Eleanor Rigby
Certainly not the longest of Beatles songs, but one of the more lyrically powerful. Also includes almost orchestral scoring with the Violins being particularly prominent. Taken from their influential Revolver Album first released in 1966.
The Lyrics are below and we will let you work out your meaning for them.
Ah look at all the lonely people
Ah look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby, picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been – Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face That she keeps in a jar by the door – Who is it for
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Father McKenzie, writing the words Of a sermon that no one will hear – no one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks In the night when there’s nobody there – What does he care
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Ah look at all the lonely people
Ah look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby, died in the church and was buried along with her name – Nobody came
Father McKenzie, wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave -No one was saved
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
I FOUND OUT THAT ELEANOR RIGBY WAS A REAL PERSON I THOUGHT THEY JUST CREATED HER
scary video
@tatereat3r13 The song was definitely designed to scare the hell out of people. A wake up call to take stock of what we’re doing, get paranoid, and show something for living all those years and get over our neuroses. To actually jar us into doing something with our lives, that means something to ourselves, and stepping out of our fears, that would trap us into a paradigm that doesn’t have to be the end-all, if only we would wake up and participate in a little risk to be present in our own lives.
this song kinda scares me I learned this in school for music
God, I love John’s voice in the background at the very end
At 1:11 the light looks like an eye in a triangle

I cried. This makes it the second song ever to make me cry. The other was I Wanna Hold Your Hand.

this song terrifried me as a child , think it was the violins ?
Contrafarsa usó la melodía de esta canción para la retirada del 2002 que hermoso!!!
Why?
too few bands with talent to captivate an audience now days. its a shame. what happened to creativity and musical talent? surely it hasnt all disappeared. or has laziness destroyed it? pick up an instrument and have fun!!!!
@moumoumoume En anglais, s’il vous plait?
I feel bad for 124 ppl, they must be lonely
Vive le Beatles!
Créatifs!Authentiques!Et si profonds,si,profonds!
