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?


April 1966.
On a day, the, back then still young, Paul McCartney was sitting at his piano when this song suddenly came to him. On 5th August of the same year it was released as 'Eleanor Rigby'.
What was he thinking while writing it, God may know, but unintentionally he wrote a very thoughtful song and by adding the names Eleanor Rigby and Father McKenzie he gave it a message, a soul. When there's a concrete name in a song or in a poem, you can relate to it easier. Of course, that's not always this way. A lot of songs and poems that don't involve names are just as good, but when you think that your artpiece is missing something, just add a name to it. I'm sure it'll help you out. =)

Father McKenzie's 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?
