There are violins carrying the sound in normal range and a cello/bass is playing the lower notes. 🥰

It was absolutely revolutionary to give a pop song a classical arrangement. Stick with the Beatles. Their output was so vast and stylistically varied that everyone loves at least one Beatles song.

Why were The Beatles so popular? Because their music was wonderful in variety and appealed to all peoples from young to old. I loved The Beatles, but so did my parents and my grandparents. There has not been another band in history that has achieved that. Most bands these days only appeal to niche groups of people. They cannot get anywhere near the popularity The Beatles had and continue to have even today. Let's face it, there is The Beatles, and then everyone else, so incredible was their music born of genius. There is a grave stone of Eleanor Rigby in a church yard in the UK, but Paul got the idea from a shop sign saying Rigby's.

Nicely done reaction. This song caused you to think and explain your feelings, and that is what a reaction video should do. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

Rock music without a single drum, guitar or piano note in it. It was a truly revolutionary orchestration - mind blowing when I heard it on the radio for the first time. Music geeking here, but the song is a prominent example of mode mixture, specifically between the Aeolian mode, also known as natural minor, and the Dorian mode. For non musicians, this was truly revolutionary musical choices at that time that made this piece very serious and moody sounding - a stark contrast to the other music filling the radio airwaves at the time.

It's a String Octet/ Double string quartet. George Martin arranged the strings. Beautiful! And the message of loneliness in our society is just as real now as it was in 1966.

You pretty much got the deeper meaning. Lonely people mostly come from self isolation & don’t interact enough with the world around them. Both the characters in the song (Eleanor & the Father) crossed paths all the time but never took the time to know one another. They lived & died lonely lives yet they where right in front of each other.

Ssome people simply have great difficulty reaching out to strangers. Or perhaps have tried to, with bad results.
@gregsgoogle29478 ай бұрын
That’s the point I think. Eleanor Rigby & Father McKenzie weren’t strangers. They see each other all the time. Lyrics suggest she works at the church he preaches at. That people choose being quiet & alone over telling people they know how they feel is the real recipe for loneliness.

She was not a real person, but supposedly there was a graveyard near where John and Paul first met, and a woman named Eleanor Rigby is buried there. Some say that Paul subliminally remembered the name that he'd seen several years earlier. Who knows?

Scored by George Martin for string octet, ( 4 violins, 2 violas, 2 cellos, ) this song was released in August, 1966, as a 45 rpm single with Yellow Submarine on the B side. A unique song which led the way for experimentation by other groups to use orchestral arrangements, ( Rolling Stones' Ruby Tuesday. ) The Beatles were always at the vanguard for different musical styles.

Remember this song is from the mid 60's. Lonely people have existed since the beginning of time. Some have social issues, some have emotional problems. Some were abused or abandoned or hurt some way. You cannot force people to open up and express their real feelings. You can hope their issues are caught or they find someone in life to help them. But you cannot "fix" everyone or their lives. But they all deserve to be heard and helped but it is an impossible task.

Parts of many of their songs were from real events or places around them. There were many stories in their songs based on real things. Most of their songs were meant to dance to. Many others would impress upon you to wonder and think. Deeper and more creative tunes. Enjoy the trip!! 😊✌️

Because you are listening many years later, you are trying to overlay your 'world view' onto a world that was set out decades before - some things work, but others fail, totally, - the 1960s in the UK was not like how things are today - BUT - that is not to say that the world set out in this song has 'gone away' - it's worse, if anything, so we accept it more... Paul reognised it and organised against it, by writing this song.

I am 76 years old and I remember that song well...however...I don't remember it being all that popular when compared to all the other Beatles songs. It had a very good message to think about but it was hard to dance to and lacked the heavy beat that was the real popular stuff...as witnessed by American Bandstand...they also had a similar song about a guy who said "You can't have your pudding if you don't eat your meat."...It was good stuff for potheads to reflect on...

You are referring to Floyd's song Another Brick In The Wall from the album and concert name, The Wall.

Nope. You should just stare at the Wall if this music keeps you vibing for your telephone. Soldier! Get moving! Hustle!
