The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby (Official Music Video)

"Eleanor Rigby" is a song released in 1966 as part of the album "Revolver." It was written mainly by Paul McCartney, and Co-Written by John Lennon, in addition to the orchestration carried out by George Martin. Eleanor Rugby has an introspective lyrical style and a melancholic melody. It tells the story of Eleanor Rigby, a lonely woman who lives a life of solitude and anonymity, and Father McKenzie, a forgotten priest who conducts her funeral. The song's instrumentation was unusual by the band's standards, as it featured a string quartet instead of typical rock-pop. This gives it a distinctive and emotional quality. Eleanor Rigby is considered one of McCartney's greatest compositions, and is praised for its moving narrative and striking musical arrangement.

It's my opinion that this song is the most beautiful song that my beloved Paul McCartney has ever written. It goes right deep into the soul 🙏 Bless

In an October 2021 article in The New Yorker, McCartney wrote that his inspiration for "Eleanor Rigby" was an old lady who lived alone and whom he got to know very well. He would go shopping for her and sit in her kitchen listening to stories and her crystal radio set. McCartney said, "just hearing her stories enriched my soul and influenced the songs I would later write."
McCartney wrote the melody and first verse alone, after which he presented the song to the Beatles when they were gathered in the music room of John Lennon's home at Kenwood. Lennon, George Harrison, Ringo Starr and Lennon's childhood friend Pete Shotton all listened to McCartney play his song through and contributed ideas. Harrison came up with the "Ah, look at all the lonely people" hook. Starr contributed the line "writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear" and suggested making "Father McCartney" darn his socks, which McCartney liked. It was then that Shotton suggested that McCartney change the name of the priest, in case listeners mistook the fictional character for McCartney's own father. So Paul took his advise and looked through a phone book until he found 'McKenzie'.
McCartney could not decide how to end the song, and Shotton suggested that the two lonely people come together too late as Father McKenzie conducts Eleanor Rigby's funeral. At the time, Lennon rejected the idea out of hand, but McCartney said nothing and used the idea, later acknowledging Shotton's help.
McCartney also asked the advice of Neil Aspinall and Mal Evans.
John Lennon expressed his resentment at the way McCartney had sought other bandmates' and friends' creative input, rather than collaborate with him directly. Lennon added, "That's the kind of insensitivity he would have, which upset me in later years.
"Ah, look at all the lonely people" refrain over the song's final chorus. was requested by George Martin, who said he came up with the idea of the line working contrapuntally to the chorus melody.

Independientemente del vídeo que me gustó mucho, lo que me sorprende fue la capacidad de los Beatles para crear música tan distinta a tan poco tiempo de haber tocado en la Caverna. De ser una simple banda de rock en 1961 se convirtieron en verdaderos artistas con propuestas música complejas en 1966, no cabe duda que eran unos talentosos genios que tenían un arsenal de ideas y con la ayuda visionaria de George Martin los llevó a niveles inimaginables que aún hoy en día me dejan con el ojo perplejo.

All the lonely people where do they all come from? All the Lonely people, where do they all belong? Such profound thought provoking questions.

A masterful composition along with Yesterday that puts the Beatles at the top of the heap of the most consequential band ever in the history of rock music.

Creo que seria mejor que hicieses videos de canciones que no tienen, ya que es el gran atractivo de tu contenido en mi opinión. Muy bueno igualmente.
