Eleanor Rigby

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

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?

Vanilla Fudge - Eleanor Rigby

Eleanor Rigby” is a song about loneliness and depression representing a departure from their early pop love songs.

This is an early example of the Beatles taking risks and dabbling in other genres; in this particular example it’s baroque pop, as made evident by the string arrangements. During the Beatles' experimental phase, their producer George Martin experimented with studio techniques to satiate the Beatles' artistic desires. To achieve the aggressive punchy sound of the strings, Martin had the microphones set up really close to the instruments, much to the chagrin of the session players, who were not used to such a unique set-up.

This is the only Beatles song where none of the Beatles play an instrument. They only sing as a string ensemble plays on. There was also some debate between John Lennon and Paul McCartney as to who wrote most of the song, but the song tends to follow more of Paul’s storytelling style.

Eerily enough, the name Eleanor Rigby was found on a gravestone at the St. Peter’s Parish Church where John and Paul met as teenagers. In a 2018 interview, McCartney said that he hadn’t known of that person or the gravestone when he wrote the song.
