The song has always broken my heart and the meaning behind it, “Eleanor Rigby” was released by The Beatles in 1966 as part of their Revolver album roll-out. A unique offering for the famed group, the song features only a string arrangement and vocal from Paul McCartney across the verses. The full group joins in on the chorus for a few moments of classic Beatles harmony. Paul McCartney recounted the song’s origin and meaning in a 2018 interview with GQ, saying “Over the years, I’ve met a couple of others, and maybe their loneliness made me empathize with them. But I thought it was a great character, so I started this song about the lonely old lady who picks up the rice in the church, who never really gets the dreams in her life. Then I added in the priest, the vicar, Father McKenzie. And so, there were just the two characters. It was like writing a short story, and it was basically on these old ladies that I had known as a kid.” Behind the Lyrics McCartney, who penned most of this song, got the name from the actress Eleanor Bron, who appeared in the 1965 Beatles film Help!. “Rigby” came to him while in Bristol, England when he spotted a store named Rigby and Evens Ltd. Wine and Spirit Shippers. He liked the way the two names ringed together because it sounded natural and matched the rhythm he wrote. As the opening chorus makes perfectly clear, the song is a sort of character piece about “all the lonely people.” The song’s intricate string arrangement underscores the narrative Paul McCartney sings about across the track’s three verses. The two characters, Eleanor and Father McKenzie, are both isolated in their own lives before finally “meeting” after Eleanor’s death, with the priest burying her. Eleanor Rigby Meaning The first verse follows the titular Eleanor as she tidies up after a wedding send-off and peers through the window at her house. 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 When McCartney first introduces us to Eleanor she is living in a “dream” world of her own, picking up rice from a wedding that was thrown over the happy couple. With the opening lines, he quickly lets the listener know that the closest Eleanor comes to getting married herself is tidying up after everyone has left. 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 Later it’s revealed that Eleanor died, leaving no one to carry on her name. McCartney adds a bit of irony towards the end of the song by having the song’s two characters cross paths a little too late. If the two had met earlier they might have become friends with something in common, but it was too late. Eleanor died leaving Father McKenzie to “meet” her while officiating the funeral. He also implies that McKenzie’s sermon “saved” no one given that nobody attended. Father McKenzie The second character featured in the song’s lyrics is Father McKenzie. Without having much of a congregation, McKenzie is forced to write sermons that “no one will hear.” He later talks about darning his socks. Question is, if no one else will see if his socks are darned, why does he care? The second verse’s lines speak to the priest’s isolation and lack of companionship. Heart breaking in my eyes , There are so many lonely people still in the world in 2022 going on 2023

@@509Heavydrop Hi Thank you so much for that comment. How amazing you still drive and also notice why people are because they are lonely and you just could be saving life's and not realizing it. I'm in the hospital and it's truly sad. Frist they were about to put me in the room my mom died and I lost it in tears as it's the ten year anniversary 💔. They put me in the room next to it. Lost my whole family too the pandemic and medical in the states is awful suddenly. Doesn't matter rich poor famous or not doctor's are so backed up people are dying from so many thing's like my dearest friend I called gramps as a joke Leslie Jordan he couldn't get an appointment with his heart doctor and had to wait and as he's pulling out to finally get to the appointment he crashed his car before he even left the front of his place and passed away. He made the lonely people laugh saved lives during lock down. Yes there could be a million people in a room and I feel lonely because my family all dies and all my friend's live overseas. Poor Elanore Rigby is always what I thought about that song. People really need too be kind to other's I'm sure those people you speak of that get on your bus love you and don't want too be lonely so look your not only a bus driver but saving lives and didn't even realize it. Cheers maybe I'll get on your bus when visiting Britain 🇬🇧 the world isn't as big as one may think. 🌻🌻✌✌❤❤🎧🎧 George was alway’s my favorite. I'm friend's with Julian. He agreed and said bloody brilliant what we both wrote. So I guess we're kind caring people who notice these thing's

In my personal interpretation, Eleanor Rigby and Father McKenzie shared a platonic relationship. In this perspective, love is not merely expressed through words or symbolic unions such as marriage. It finds its expression in the happiness derived from performing acts for the sake of the other, like cleaning rice for a wedding or writing a sermon for someone. It suggests that significant connections go beyond conventional romanticism and social conventions. The lonely individuals are not necessarily Eleanor Rigby or Father McKenzie, but rather those who have never experienced love and are unable to recognize it.
