Description

*Sorry for the low audio quality. I recorded this a long time ago but still wanted to release it to you.Most people live in cities and have lots of other people around them. Still, many would say that they feel lonely, or alone. This is a song about how people live their lives, often without good friendships or any close relationships. It's a critique of society and the way we live.Now, let's take a look at the lyrics of the song "Eleanor Rigby" by The Beatles.LYRICS:Verse 1Ah, look at all the lonely peopleEleanor Rigby, picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has beenLives in a dreamWaits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the doorWho is it for?ChorusAll the lonely peopleWhere do they all come from?All the lonely peopleWhere do they all belong?Verse 2Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hearNo one comes nearLook at him working, darning his socks in the night when there's nobody thereWhat does he care?Verse 3Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her nameNobody cameFather McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the graveNo one was saved
