- The Beatles performing “Eleanor Rigby (From "Yellow Submarine").”
Released as a double A-side with the song "Yellow Submarine in August 1966, Eleanor Rigby marked a giant leap forward in the way that The Beatles thought about their art, following their exploration of new and more complex musical ideas such as “Day Tripper” and “Paperback Writer”. Written and performed by Paul McCartney as part of the Revolver sessions, this features a string composition from George Martin that helped to change the way that people considered “pop music”.
The film is a sequence originally used in the movie “Yellow Submarine", released in July 1968. With it’s surreal, ground-breaking visuals it both brought a new concept of creating a visual video to accompany a song and also ushered in a new style of animation which helped to inspire Terry Gilliam’s animations for the TV comedy series, Monty Python’s Flying Circus.

The violin during this:
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's mostly cello...
@@pao6207 It's four violins (playing two parts), two violas (playing one part), and two cellos (playing one part). Basically the sound of a string quartet that's been doubled.
*FRIGHTFUL FACT:* George Martin's string arrangement for this song was greatly influenced by Bernard Herrmann.

Not funny lol.
My son lived on Abbey Road and passed the studio every day .. at 23 he took an interest in the Beatles due to the iconic photo of the Zebra crossing hd crossed every day .. has come to LOVE them .. another generation of Beatles Fans .. that’s 3 generations of Fans . ❤
Beatles will never die. Like Mozart
I was born 1989, my father gave me all albums on casettes, i been obsessed ever since i was old enough to pick my nose, i still listen in 2024!
Many More Generations
Born in 88, but I grew up listening to dad’s cassette tapes and cds. Now I know almost all their songs by heart and have even visited and walked across Abbey Road. Beatlemaniac for life!
I'm shocked that it took the age of 23 for him to open his mind to the greatness of the Beatles, but, better late than never, as they say.
Paul Mccartney wrote this based on his experience of being a Scout in the 1950s. He helped an older woman who lived alone and was fascinated by her stories and lived experiences. Ironically, by listening he made meaningful connection and thus helped to reduce her loneliness. An amazing link of biography to how this masterpiece was created.
love or hate the beatles you can’t deny this song is pure art.
yes u r right
I used to hate them, I had thought they were boring to death, maybe intentionally boring, until I first heard and saw this song.
How can anyone hate the Beatles tho fr
@@Epsa_ hello
love or hate the beatles, you can’t deny this is a song
"Eleanor Rigby wears a face that she keeps in a jar by the door". This line sums up lonely people who don't want to let on that they're lonely perfectly.
Yes! That line always gets me. I think it could also mean depression. Depressed ppl wear a mask to hide what's really going on inside. It makes me think of cases of suicide where family and friends never knew the victim was depressed because they were always upbeat or smiling around them
@@mysticdiamond8944 dream
One of Paul’s best lyrics. Proved he wasn’t just a tunesmith
Woah nice catch. I always thought this line was just a reference for a not-so-young lady waiting for a special person that maybe doesnt even exist
@@Mipetz38 Well, that could be part of it, too. "Who is it for?" It ties in with loneliness. It never really says how old Eleanor Rigby is supposed to be.
Probably the best song of the legendary Beatles... though any of their songs is a classic. Still touches me deep in the heart.
I totally agree. I found myself reading many of the comments, and there are actually people out there who don't the the Beatles.
The ghosts of a million lonely hearts lamenting cries fall upon me as a torrent of shattering glass and resolute they echo in the still cold air
Best song I couldn't pick
Strawberry fields I love with the rest
@@brandonfaubert7180 We all have our own taste... But I have not met any musician who did not like the Beatles, just so good songwriting, great and deep lyrics, guys that have changed the World in so many ways to the better
@@hans-wernerquast663Yup…musicians know…
"". . . .wiping the dirt from his hands, as he walks from her grave, no-one was saved. . . ." Just brilliant, deep, dark, and uplifting lyrics , all in 2 minutes 11 seconds. Faultless, flawless, fantasticly great writing.
I was a teenager when I first heard this song .. I'm now almost 70 years old , lonely and knowing I will be buried along with my name and no one came .. how ironic , this song predicted my future
And the futuro of all os
I will come to your funeral if you promise to come to mine as well.
I’ll come to your funeral man I won’t let you be forgotten
In reality we all "die alone" and then emerge into a wonderful togetherness. You're in my thoughts FreedomFighter 2017.
man youre never alone, god is with us all. it's why this song is so beautiful, :"where do we all belong"? there is a place where we all belong. there's an answer to that question. blessings and have a good day!
This song makes me feel something that I can’t express with words
Bro same.
I cant explain it
SAME
it makes you rethink everything and puts you out of mind and you feel like you dont exist. I think the melodys take part in it. It feels like an out of body experience
Yeah pretty much
My dad bought the box set off the Beatles in 1980 when Lennon died played it and played it i was 9. 53 now and songs are still with me .❤
"No one was saved."
That's the most heartbreaking part of the lyrics
All this time I thought it was, "no one was shaved"......dang, that puts a whole new spin on it.....
The animators were so ahead of their time
This style is still very relevant
the visuals are recent; they weren’t produced at the time of the song’s release.
@@liammcqueeney8768 didn't the film The Yellow Submarine come out in 1968?

Extremely underrated Beatles song! This is gold!
Totally agree with that. I wish more people got into the "not so popular" Beatles songs. I hate even saying that. But I'll say the songs less known. There is so much beauty in the music.
This is one of the most popular songs by the most popular band ever to exist, it's not underrated
are you insane?
...this is one of their most popular songs
If you say this is overrated, you know nothing about music
Yesterday may be his signature song but this is Paul’s finest ever song.
Storm Hawk I think it’s top 3. I think his best song is The Long And Winding Road.
Tenés razón
Billy T
No The Long And Winding Road is McCartney but Georges finest has to be Something
Let it be???
Billy T Where did you hear that!? The Long and Winding Road is entirely McCartney, no one else.
It's the cello. The full haunting sound that reaches inside you. I heard a cellist in church play once and I wept. That haunting full enthralling sound. It pulls at your soul.
I feel you dog, I feel you
Listen to the swan - saint saens if you want a truly beautiful cello peice
This song has a bit of violin in it. I play beginners violin. Want to improve more. Very string oriented. Cello and viola and a bit on the violin.
What is it? I do not understand 😅. Can you explain
no its the part were john cartney goes AYYEEE ELOOKIT ALL THE LONELY PEEEEEPLE
One of their very best. One of my very favorites. Great lyrics "wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door..." "no one was saved..." McCartney at his best.
I love this song so much. It makes me sad and happy and angry. The fact it pulls these emotions out of me tells me how fantastic of a song it is.
"Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name." One of the most famous and hauntingly poignant lines in all of rock history.
Robert Davis Nobody Came
Wicked sad and tragic statement, why does this get into your gut? But, if you think about it, its not as sad as it feels, She may feel lucky she dies doing what she loves, lived an amazing and long life, out living everyone she knew, including her husband - could this be what everyone wants? hmmmmmmmm
@@ChristyAlferes god good you are arrogant
but well, didn't this song make her immortal?
Christy Alferes Not quite as amazing of a life as you might think it was. She was extremely lonely because her husband was killed in the war, WWII.
This song scared the living daylights out of me as a kid. The line about Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walked from the grave made me think he was a monster/zombie "as he walks from the grave". After all "no one was saved" made me think they all had died. This and Hotel California were very frightening. Glad to see that the fear has turned into absolute love!
Who’s to say they didn’t all die and that they aren’t all zombies? No joke, I thought this too when I was younger. And because I was such a weird kid, that added a whole other layer to the foreboding, creepy nature of this song. And it made me love it more. Now that I’m older and know that their weren’t any zombies, I still like it. But I enjoy entertaining the idea that zombies could still be involved somehow.
@@wolfkit2826 In my 32 years on this planet, I haven't met anyone who's thought the same until now! My mom would play this album a lot so as a kid, this track was scary and sad sounding. There had to have been a commercial or show that mentioned walking from the grave as a zombie/dead thing so my kid mind heard that and went "ZOMBIE!". And like you said, I still entertain the thought of zombies to this day! The song just has this overcast nature to it so zombies just fit the bill! It was also one of the first songs that I heard to mention death so nonchalant with Eleanor's passing. Overall freaky to a kid! Overall, still ranks very high in my Beatles love. To conclude, music really is something that we as the listener take in different forms. Some of hear zombies, others something entirely different! The power of music!
@JORDAN SMITH hopefully not! But with the off chance that she might, it'll only make her love the song so much better when she gets older. The songs that typically scared us as kids make us laugh at the thought of it being scary to us now! But no matter what, you're doing her a great favor by playing older music for her!
This song didnt scare me but Hotel California and Iron Man did. Think of a metal monster war machine sulking in his solidarity until it turns on you and kills all of us? yikes!
@@timcollum5015 That's one of the best things about music! The images and things we thought of when hearing these for the first time make for better videos/meanings than the official ones. Hotel California made me think that man was trapped in a castle with hooded figures waking him up, a beast that couldn't be killed, and a robot that wouldn't let him out. The guitar solo just made me think of the man running down these long hallways with no doors, just a left or a right turn! Iron Man for real has that impending doom sound!
The change in style and the way the Beatles absorbed everything from any musical style created several masterpieces
It's taken me a while to realise the genius of this song & its arrangement. In 3 short verses , it gives you a desperately sad story about someone's life. It does it in such an intense , emotional manner that it leaves you wondering about the existential meaning to our lives.
This song makes me feel something I can’t describe..
It’s like creepy but you still like it

Craig Simons this is the only Beatles song I like
All these years later it still takes your breathe away. Genius is a word that just doesnt cover the whole production.
After listening to this song repeatedly for years, I just now realize there are no drums in this song. Now I appreciate it even more.
There are no drums no guitars no piano or keyboard either. The first No 1 by a group to do this
1962: She Loves You Yeah Yeah Yeah
1966: A Song About Dying And Being Forgotten
Shows how much they evolved both as musicians and people.
Bob Dylan's influence
Woahh
Class A drugs change you. It's fantastic.
Pressure causes things to crumble... same goes for humans
fun fact: "Father McKenzie" was originally "Father McCartney" but then Paul didn't want to be singing about his dad
Any reason why?
@Good Guitarist; I did not know that "Father McKenzie" was originally "Father McCartney" but then Paul didn't want to be singing about his dad. No sad song is better that Eleanor rigby; Paul Mc Cateney is a genius; when I think he wrote this song at only 24 years old; at only 24 years old. How can you be so mature at this age of 24?
Wow, the things people know!😂
Good Guitarist thank god Father McCartney sounds weird

This has to be one of the most darkest and depressing songs I've heard
But beautiful at the same time.
i think either 'yer blues' or 'maxwell's silver hammer' deserves the title of the darkest beatles song
On poor old Father McKenzie's "No one was saved" I literally shed a tear. Damn 😢 Guess I connected to him on "writing the words to a sermon that no one will hear."
*laugh in Maxwell’s silver hammer*
@@fel24thecat Well, Maxwell's Silver Hammer is more-so dark than anything. Not really depressing/sad, it's just...really screwed-up lmao
Lyrics: (it’s for me, but if helps someone else here is:)
Ah, look at all the lonely people
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
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 (ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people (ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all belong?
Thank you dear stranger
Ah yes thank you oh so kind stranger 😌
Thank you! Maybe their saddest song
Yeah! It’s my favorite song, thanks strangers ;) have a nice day
Love it ! Thanks
The cello really gives you a solemn tone to key into. As a kid in the 80's, I didn't much care for the Beatles, but I loved this song. I of course have since grown and my appreciation for the Beatles has greatly increased. Still far from my favorite, but they truly are on the Mt Rushmore of modern music.
I think this song has very quickly become a new favorite. I've always liked The Beatles but only recently have I begun to regularly listen to their music
I wasnt even alive when the beatles were around but this gives me goosebumps. Talent is timeless
WoW, too Kool !!
My Grandkids love them also..
I know right
same
Kyle M. I agree
This song went against pop music conventions lyrically and musically. That’s why Paul is a genius. He wasn’t afraid to sing about depression and the neglected concerns of the elderly. He also wasn’t afraid to have all strings even though they were a rock band
The cello deep down in the bass adds a huge amount of depth to the song, honestly I'm here like solely for these strings. An amazing choice on his part.
SAD SONG INDEED
Yes...paul was and is still brave in his music. He is an artist and he doesnt care if people would love his music or not. I dig his style though
George Martin was a genius
George Martin was responsible for much of the orchestra
Classic wonderful song. The Beatles had the most creativity and fearlessness of almost any band in history. They have truly inspired so many. All of their songs are original and different. They have been commercialized but that can never take away from their genius.

Paul McCartney always found the right way for singing every song he made. This one, Yesterday, The fool on the hill, Hey Jude... are sung with the exact amount of simplicity and sadness required to not sounding corny, pretentious or banal. Just perfect.
And the lyrics are brutally inspired and painful
Well said

As a child I was fascinated by this part of the movie and in 2023 it remains the same
The strings absolutely awesome 😍
I always felt that this has been my favorite Beatles song. And yea I love that it was all string instruments. The emotion that went into the whole thing is so heavy.
RIP Larry.

I don't think I've ever sung along to this song once. This is the type of song that you sit around and lament about.
That chorus is so catchy, tho. How can you not sing THAT part at least? :O
Not while it's playing
I always sing along to songs but to this I just motion the violin parts because I'm a violinist and it's just such a fun part to play.

I just found out the strings in this were inspired by the Psycho soundtrack.

The importance of Beatles can never be overstated.
So many things in this song make this a stunning, genre shattering song for a "rock n roll" band, especially in 1966. No "rock" instruments, not even a guitar, only a classic string section (fabulous arrangement by George Martin). Such thought provoking lyrics completely out of character for a pop song of that time. Such a emotive chord progression in the chorus from the minor to minor7 to minor6 to minor#5 down to the minor. It's also a rare song in the dorian mode (particular for a rock band in 1966), evoking that haunting effect to the lyrics and sound that fits so perfectly with the lyrics, and vice versa. Macca wrote that when he was 24 -- truly a musical genius. You can only be born with that kind of talent.
There was nothing like it in popular music at that time, to my knowledge. It's the kind of song -- and there were so many of them -- that established the Beatles as being a level above everyone else. Tomorrow Never Knows was another such "genre shattering" song on Revolver this disc, though IMO it isn't as good as Eleanor.
Eleanor Rigby was first released on the Beatles LP "Revolver." It was re-released on "Yellow Submarine" which was released in conjunction with the animated film of the same name. However, IMO, the mix in Yellow Submarine is far superior, where the vocals are centered and the instrumentation and harmonies are in the left and right channels. The Revolver version of Eleanor was primarily designed as a mono release, and the stereo version followed the common, but unfortunate (and IMO poor) practice of mixing at that time of putting the vocals on one channel and the instruments on the other.
Yes, that's right. I always think it might have inspired Bobbie Gentry's "Ode to Billie Joe": similar pared back soundscape, use of strings, subject matter way beyond what might be thought suitable for a pop record (suicide, illicit pregnancy, perhaps also stillbirth; the lyrics are ambiguous but the song goes to a very dark place). I have never seen that written down though.
@@simonjones7727 I believe "Ode to Billie Joe" was released a year after "Eleanor Rigby" was release with the LP Revolver. That would make it unlikely inspiration to McCartney, but perhaps the other way around.
Yes, the other way around. Revolver definitely came first, I just don't know when Ode to Billie Joe was set down. If it is after mid 1966 then I think it is possible that it was influenced by Eleanor Rigby.
I've never considered the Beatles a Rock Band, their music is simply Beatle Music....and they can certainly rock, but can do so much more...

SO BEAUTIFUL.
The beatles are the most beautiful thing which have ever existed!!!!!
They sing to your soul!!!!
I remember hearing this song in the background of art class amongst 90s alternative rock music and i thought it was the most eerie song ive ever heard. I wanted it to play on longer each time i heard it, but alas it was only 2 minutes long. I assumed it was a random, if not obscure, 90s indie pop song and that i would never hear it again. Then a year ago i began looking at the Beatles music videos and was given some minor nostalgia (as ive heard most of the hits), but nothing stuck enough to make me a fan. That was until i came across this video. I've been a fan ever since. The mysterious nature of this song will stick to me forever.

@@theatticaddict what does whimsical mean
@@coffeebuggo i wouldn’t call it irony, it’s really just that songs could be sad and have any kind of tempo or rhythm to them, really nothing related to irony at all
Maxwell's Silver Hammer sounds upbeat also... An upbeat serial killer!
Never been someone to sing over orchestra - and only an orchestra - this masterfully
That initial scream is simply perfect, it gives a beautiful and sentimental touch to the song. I can only say that this is art.
This song is a masterpiece, the Beatles never disappoint
Yup
The best band of All time
If you are interested, Cody Fry has done a more orchestrated rearrangement of this ballad, I found it extremely impacting and actually loved it more than the original (which I had no idea was possible!!), Cody's version is quite cinematic and chilling so that could be why. I love them both, though. They both have different strong points. Just thought I'd share another treasure. :)
Lennon's drop off was
Number 9
The chords are genius. The unmatched creativity of The Beatles still fascinates me, no matter how often i listen to their music.
2stroke4me I just learned that the chords were inspired by the movie psycho !! how cool is that !
The fact that "Ëleanor Rigby" always sounded somewhat familiar to me, bothered me. Thanks for the info! Where did you learn that?
Heard it on the radio they were saying that the guy who created the orchestra sounds and stuff was inspired by the movie psycho I guess!
Bobby Stinklehoffer well that's what the guy was saying justsaying !!! Google it if you'd like I'm pretty sure you will find something that talks about it :)
It's true. George Martin who helped Mccartney on the score was influenced by what he thought was Fahrenheit 51 but it was actually Psycho.
I've been listening to the Beatles since I was eight and i'm over a half of a century now as an inspired artist myself!
This has to be one of the best if not the best song by the Beatles. The way the band chose to only use strings is amazing. The way the deep tones of the chello brings out the sadness of the song. And the masterful lyrics brings you to a place of loneliness. I wish this song was more popular so more people could hear it. I hope anyone that reads this is happy and healthy. Love and cherish each other were all in this world together.
"... no one was saved. "
Geez, the painful chill that gives you. He paints such a picture.
that was probably John's line. He did contribute significantly to the lyrics.
@@PreacherAtArrakeen
Errr... According to many. John contributed almost nil to this song.
Ringo contributed the line of _"writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear"_ and suggested making "Father McCartney" _darn his socks._
Shotton contributed to the idea that the 2 character met up at the end but it's too late to end the song.
John is great and awesome...
But please don't give him credit to something he didn't do...
@@dalfifran7572 Ringo came up with that line? I think that's one of the most powerful ones in the song!

I first heard this song at 15 and it haunted me. I listened many times and cried. It felt prophetic, like this was my future. Turns out my mother's death and funeral was eerily similar. At mass, the priest didn't even get her name right and rushed thru the ceremony. I stood alone at her grave and watched them lower her. It was cold, dark, and raining that day. (personally, I think Paul McCartney just had a sense about the human experience and took note of everything he saw around him...plus he had a gift for writing lyrics and music that brought existential life to us)
You sound mad goofy bro. Stop overreacting.
So sorry about your mom I can smpathise my mom Joyce Parsons passed away 2020,was82, and my brother Barry in 2019, was63 my dad John Parsons in 2002,my sister in 2017.theres me and my brother Johnny left I'm 56 hes 51
@@lisaparsons4124 Thank you. My sympathies to you as well. ♥
You're lucky. The earliest I remember hearing this song was when I was three, and I had heard it before then.
@@azh698 For me, it was long after the Beatles broke up. I had an English teacher (ex-hippie) who had us read the lyrics for poetry class and then she brought in the record for us to listen to.
rip Larry
What an incredible song...; It is a preview of where society has been going for decades.
I love how they strictly used string instruments for this song. It’s so appropriate and moving. Just beautiful.
The strings are just sublime.
Yes i agree awesome group and song
you really nailed it there
Strings arrangement was done by George Martin.
@@hogopogo7616
A genius in his own right.
there's something sacred and eternal about this song. that's what I call real art
About the movie aswell
It's why people still look at Picasso and Rembrandt. It still fascinates us.
In my life I never thought I would listen to Beatles because I thought their music didn't get to my ear enough and I heard only little about them and I can say this song would get me to listen them and it's good.
It's now 2024 .. I'm not the only one listening to this masterpiece..
No, no you are not
One of the saddest songs of all time...
Yet, beautiful.
I like how it has a story...unlike new music...omg i am a old soul...
+Hannah Porter
Surprised to see you here.
+The Paperwaits yep my friends that haven't ever heard any of the songs back in the 90s 80s and 70s call that work song by Rihanna a story in a song and I'm like are you on crack now a days all music is shit doesn't tell a story or makes no sense and gets famous what has our world come to
this is one of my favorite songs
As my age comes nearer to the point that my life will end this song really hits home for me. My parents are long gone, my siblings have passed in the last few years, and I know that my time is short here on this earth. I haven't made a lot of friends and was never more aware of that until I married my spouse. If the church, we were married in had been a boat it would have capsized as the family on my spouses, side was more heavily weighted than that on mine. It would be an exaggeration to say that my friends and family took up 2 pews in the church where we were married.
I guess you could say I'm a real-life Eleanor Rigby. When I pass, I don't expect anyone will show up for the funeral, so I've given my remaining family explicit instructions that no funeral be held. Just put me in the ground and pray over my body that the good Lord takes me because I have nothing else to give or no one who cares.
This actually made me sad. I hope you have a Wonderful day.
Your words made a 42 year old man cry..i was thinking earlier this evening abt my life..memories..the past..my late mother who was my bestfriend..my ex wife who was my sweetheart long gone..alot of so called friends who just vanished..and 5 year old son that i barely see..and distant sibling.Its just so harsh and crazy how life shows u its ugly face!!
@@ahmedshinko5142 I know exactly what you mean. I have two grown children. One calls me everyday but is caught up in their own married life which I understand and fully support. The other is a total drama queen! I never hear from this one unless they need something or just want to tell me how impossible their situation is (which usually involves an immediate need for finances ). This one is never honest with me and makes up incredible stories as to why it is so detrimental that they need money in excess of thousands of dollars immediately or their world will crumble. My spouse and I never go anywhere or spend beyond our means as we are both retired and living off our pension yet this one child thinks we have money to throw at any problem they happen to get themselves into. This same child went for two years without speaking to us because we wouldn't give them our car when a tornado took out the vehicle they had as if their insurance would not replace the car that was destroyed. This specific child would not be happy until they see us (my spouse and myself) in a home or dead so they could get their hands on everything we've worked hard for all our lives. This one will be surprised to find that they are written out of everything in our will.
@@keairabachtell8985 Thank you for your well wishes.
I don't know if it's any consolation from a stranger on the web, but I hope you can feel better.
My favorite Beatles song, I’m happy I got to see Paul sing this live.
I am almost 65 and still love this
your awesome hope you live a long and wonderful life
my dad died when he was 61 almost 62 and he loved the beatles
Every day I listen to The Beatles.
Every day they make me happy.
Every day I learn something new.
😉
I might have to give this a shot
everyday i listen to yesterday
I haven't listened to them for awhile, but I'll say this is one of the best songs ever written... handsdown.
Every day they make you happy... even when they sing about how lonely some people are.
"waits at the window, wearing a face that she keeps in a jar by the door" is probably my favorite lyric of all time.
my favourite line - it’s so meaningful.
"It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out" is my favorite lyric of all time
@@aj-pb2qv Yes! Also one of my favorites :)
It's amazing imagery - and to think he was referring to Nivea (which has been my favourite cosmetic cream since the group were still together) is the cherry on the top for me!
"Who is it for?"
wish my grandad was still around to listen to these masterpieces with me again 💔 introduced me to one of the best bands of all time
This is definitely the Beatles' best song.
Yes
Its crazy how many people come back to this everyday... this song is masterpiece!
Every day I shall listen to it once at least
Yeah
.
Dude which Beatles song isn't?
Masterpiece is probably selling this song a little short. I don't even know what you'd describe it, but it gives me chills almost everytime.
“Dad why is my sister named Eleanor?”
“Because your mother loves Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles”
“Thank you dad”
“No problem You Never Give Me Your Money (Remastered 2009)”
Heiße auch so 😂
The 2019 mix is the way to go
2019 is much better
OK, not gonna lie - I laughed!!! 😹
Jojo characters be like
Watching from Greece.hi everybody.
Best Beatles song.Period.
What a genius, genius song.
no wonder Lennon and McCartney complemented each other so well: Lennon has the cynical sarcasm and the occasional vindictive bitterness as well as satirical bite; McCartney brought a sweetness and nostalgia, but also a deep well of sadness at lives blunted, wasted.....a very powerful combination of different ways of looking at the world.....
Yup perfectly spoken
Great comment 👍
You're right, but also, this song is 100% Paul, with no creative or musical contribution from John or from anyone else. It may be the most solo Beatle song there is.
@@michaellynn683 John and George provided some harmonies and everyone in the group came up with lyrics
Is this a quote from the 6 episode interview of Paul McCartney 123 or am I insane
The almost creepy or storytelling way of singing, the masterful, chilling and shrieking violins, the beautiful lyrics, the insane melody. The perfect song. Remember, once this was just in one man's mind. Paul McCartney is a genius.
I like John better, but there’s no doubt that Paul was a masterful musician. He had a lot of bad songs too though, where the lyrics were just incredibly cheesy. I’m not a big fan of John’s anti-God stances though but I think they were all decent, good people, just misled in some ways.
@@MikeMalleyGuitar what bad songs did have Paul have? wild honey pie, honey pie, taste of honey, lovely rita, all together now...thats all I think is bad songwriting from him. I think he's the Mozart of the 20th century. Songs like Eleanor Rigby, Here, There and Everywhere, Things We Said Today, And I Love Her, For No One, Penny Lane and the Abbey Road Medley are masterpieces!
@@MikeMalleyGuitar I like Paul better; John - as a person - was flawed in many ways. Mike: listen to Paul's "Fixing a hole" - genius.
This song will give you an eargasm
One of the finest songs ever written and performed.
Simultaneously poignant and majestic.
It's 2521 and people will still be in awe of this song, and this group.
There's Beatle music and everything else.
We are in 2356, buddy. Don't get ahead of yourself.
So there's this science fiction novel called 'Ringworld' by Larry Niven. It takes place in the far-far future, where humanity has colonized a dozen or so planets outside of our own Solar System, and met multiple alien races. Flying cars and everything!
In that novel, there are a group of explorers (a human and two freaky aliens) who explore a massive and scary artifact called the Ringworld (Bungee stole the concept of it for Halo). At one point of the story one of the aliens (a puppeteer, who has two throats and can harmonize with itself) starts whistling while it is thinking.
Le actual quote: "And the puppeteer went off into Beethoven, or the Beatles, or something classical-sounding."
I can't understand how there are people who think the Beatles are overrated.
They surely only know i want to hold your hand.
and Hey Jude
And here comes the sun
They definitely aren’t thinking about this or anything from Abbey Road. (IMO I want you is their greatest song)
Lol no te puedo tomar en serio con esa foto
Don Ramón where is el Chavo?
this classic always makes me think of the mouth of sauron from the return of the king, chapter 'the black gates opens'.
Always my favourite Beatle❤
Imagine a band that can go from something like 'I wanna hold your hand....' to this masterpiece....in 3 years...
if you like this you might like my brothers music. his name is Stu morris
I wanna hold your hand is melodically more sophisticated than Eleanor Rigby. Both songs are brilliant, but IWHYH is simply a genius work of art.
@@BenMcdowell-cm7mk twist and shout more so. Especially with the wooos. That was smart and simple
@@MacenW not really. Twist and shout was a cover version, and the melody was simple rhythm n blues. I wanna hold your hand was original and brilliant melodically.
They were working with real music experts behind the scenes associated with the Tavistock Institute. Most of the songs were written for them as well as the musical scores. They were an artificial construct of a band like The Monkees.
The Beatles were a phenomenon that I still don't fully understand. That four lads from Liverpool could produce such a massive body of music of which dozens of songs are iconic, is difficult to process. I suppose of all the hundreds of thousands of bands over the past 70 years, one was mathematically likely to have so much genius, but it's still amazing. They reinvented themselves several times and yet returned to the top in each iteration.
The Beatles, lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr, were all born in hospitals in Liverpool while the nazis were dropping bombs on them. Their music was their revenge.
Great comment.
They trained in music, and then they went the hard way in Germany.
Not to mention that they wrote all that within the space of 8 years or so..
Stop. Over processing. Just enjoy.🦋❣️🎶☺️
Grateful to live in an era where I can listen to a symphony through my phone..
Loved this song as a child.. still lonely, still looking to belong 🖤
I sang this in a concert in 2nd grade and absolutely never forgot this song that was 19 years ago
