  • The Beatles performing “Eleanor Rigby (From "Yellow Submarine").”
    Released as a double A-side with the song "Yellow Submarine in August 1966, Eleanor Rigby marked a giant leap forward in the way that The Beatles thought about their art, following their exploration of new and more complex musical ideas such as “Day Tripper” and “Paperback Writer”. Written and performed by Paul McCartney as part of the Revolver sessions, this features a string composition from George Martin that helped to change the way that people considered “pop music”.
    The film is a sequence originally used in the movie “Yellow Submarine", released in July 1968. With it’s surreal, ground-breaking visuals it both brought a new concept of creating a visual video to accompany a song and also ushered in a new style of animation which helped to inspire Terry Gilliam’s animations for the TV comedy series, Monty Python’s Flying Circus.

    Paul Mccartney wrote this based on his experience of being a Scout in the 1950s. He helped an older woman who lived alone and was fascinated by her stories and lived experiences. Ironically, by listening he made meaningful connection and thus helped to reduce her loneliness. An amazing link of biography to how this masterpiece was created.

      Who’s to say they didn’t all die and that they aren’t all zombies? No joke, I thought this too when I was younger. And because I was such a weird kid, that added a whole other layer to the foreboding, creepy nature of this song. And it made me love it more. Now that I’m older and know that their weren’t any zombies, I still like it. But I enjoy entertaining the idea that zombies could still be involved somehow.

There had to have been a commercial or show that mentioned walking from the grave as a zombie/dead thing so my kid mind heard that and went "ZOMBIE!". And like you said, I still entertain the thought of zombies to this day! The song just has this overcast nature to it so zombies just fit the bill! It was also one of the first songs that I heard to mention death so nonchalant with Eleanor's passing. Overall freaky to a kid! Overall, still ranks very high in my Beatles love. To conclude, music really is something that we as the listener take in different forms. Some of hear zombies, others something entirely different! The power of music!

    Lyrics: (it’s for me, but if helps someone else here is:)
    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 (ah, look at all the lonely people)
    Where do they all come from?
    All the lonely people (ah, look at all the lonely people)
    Where do they all belong?

    I remember hearing this song in the background of art class amongst 90s alternative rock music and i thought it was the most eerie song ive ever heard. I wanted it to play on longer each time i heard it, but alas it was only 2 minutes long. I assumed it was a random, if not obscure, 90s indie pop song and that i would never hear it again. Then a year ago i began looking at the Beatles music videos and was given some minor nostalgia (as ive heard most of the hits), but nothing stuck enough to make me a fan. That was until i came across this video. I've been a fan ever since. The mysterious nature of this song will stick to me forever.

    As my age comes nearer to the point that my life will end this song really hits home for me. My parents are long gone, my siblings have passed in the last few years, and I know that my time is short here on this earth. I haven't made a lot of friends and was never more aware of that until I married my spouse. If the church, we were married in had been a boat it would have capsized as the family on my spouses, side was more heavily weighted than that on mine. It would be an exaggeration to say that my friends and family took up 2 pews in the church where we were married.
    I guess you could say I'm a real-life Eleanor Rigby. When I pass, I don't expect anyone will show up for the funeral, so I've given my remaining family explicit instructions that no funeral be held. Just put me in the ground and pray over my body that the good Lord takes me because I have nothing else to give or no one who cares.

The other is a total drama queen! I never hear from this one unless they need something or just want to tell me how impossible their situation is (which usually involves an immediate need for finances ). This one is never honest with me and makes up incredible stories as to why it is so detrimental that they need money in excess of thousands of dollars immediately or their world will crumble. My spouse and I never go anywhere or spend beyond our means as we are both retired and living off our pension yet this one child thinks we have money to throw at any problem they happen to get themselves into. This same child went for two years without speaking to us because we wouldn't give them our car when a tornado took out the vehicle they had as if their insurance would not replace the car that was destroyed. This specific child would not be happy until they see us (my spouse and myself) in a home or dead so they could get their hands on everything we've worked hard for all our lives. This one will be surprised to find that they are written out of everything in our will.

At mass, the priest didn't even get her name right and rushed thru the ceremony. I stood alone at her grave and watched them lower her. It was cold, dark, and raining that day. (personally, I think Paul McCartney just had a sense about the human experience and took note of everything he saw around him...plus he had a gift for writing lyrics and music that brought existential life to us)
