💀HAPPY HALLOWEEN 💀 to all our amazing fans ❤️
We wanted to do something a little different this year and so here’s our cover of @TheBeatles’s ‘Eleanor Rigby’. What a year… To anyone out there struggling with isolation and loneliness, this one’s for you.
The song ‘Eleanor Rigby’ really is a sad and extremely poignant song, dealing with issues of disillusionment, loneliness, and isolation in society.
‘Look at all the lonely people' - is a lyric that has stuck with us forever.
We wondered about a modern day Eleanor Rigby, and what it would be like if a character like her was alive today and experiencing 2020. We felt some of the song’s themes dovetailed closely with the negative revelations surrounding the mass adoption of social media, phone addiction and the proliferation of the ‘pseudo-connections’ these platforms provide. The artwork for our cover version shows a young ‘Eleanor Rigby’, illuminated by her device, dependent on it, manipulated by it, and totally in the clutches of addiction to it. ‘Wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door’ - this facade or metaphorical mask that she puts on is now perhaps equivalent to today’s face modifying filters. The notion of ‘keeping up appearances’ despite problems / unhappiness is problematic. The pandemic and resulting lockdowns have of course also given many of us a strong experience of loneliness in the real world. We have been trying to deal with our personal experience of this by being creative, which has been a much needed port in the storm. We’ve alway found music to be a great comfort and we hope you guys do too. HUGE love to all you guys. We’re working hard to finish up album 3!

- LYRICS -
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?

Me at 0:00 - "Hmmm, this is one of my favorite Beatles songs of all time. I love Gunship but they better not mess up the cover."
Me at 0:42 - "I am a fool and my skepticism was unfounded."
Legit same lol.
Oh good, I'm not the only one.
Sames
Thought the same when I clicked... I'm taken aback by how well-done this is.
None of my headphones can live up to this
as an actual fan of the this beatles era this had to be heard to be believed, what an epic way to drag this song into the future, well done guys *mid air high five*
The Intro is a variation of THE FOG by John Carpenter.
love that
my wife loves this version so much she had a little cry at the end. Not of sadness but of joy, Thank you Gunship for bringing a little light into these dark times.
What dark times?
@@babasemka Demonic slaughter
@@babasemka living in the timeline where "blood libel" is a phrase that exists
@@the-letter_s Not really sure that the OP was refering to that :)
@@babasemka yeah, but whatever current he is referring to can be connected to that if you read enough
Stranger Things got me into Synthwave, Gunship keeps me there.
Tweenwave is swick!
The movie drive for me
Back when Tears for Fears experimented a lil with New Wave was the gateway to Synthwave for me... and everything from Stranger Things, to Gunship, to Scandroid, to The Midnight... all just keeps me here 😂
ST reminded me of Retrowave which eventually led to me finding Gunship and being hooked on them for over a year now.
You should try italo disco too dude :)
This is an absolute masterpiece. Stunning.
...also it must be made into an extended version!
The imagery is perfect too. Powerful.
The Beatles/Gunship was not something I knew I needed until I heard it.
Imagine some people in this crazy wasteland we call our world don't listen to Gunship...
Now that just makes me sad. These poor people.
sucks for them.
Wow, this was an unexpected surprise! Smashes Halloween 2020 right in the feels
The opening sounds like a cross between the Stranger Things theme and a song from Final Fantasy 1... and I love it!
i totally see this lol
I hear what you mean..it does sound like a mixture of the two 👌
Or a song by The Beatles?
Sounds very similar to the theme from John Carpenter’s “The Fog” too.
As above so below, thy wish is thy command.
We are so lucky to have you, gunship. You make everything better. Everything. Cover songs. Life. Everything.
I have to admit that its not even all that often that a remake does its original justice but this hits. Something I can bring home to my dad.
This song has a weird flavour, like someone mixed liquorice and vanilla. Love it (the cover)
That's actually quite a nice combination lol
Now this is why GUNSHIP are in their own league... they cover a Beatles song...and its ultra poignant as hell. ALL THE FEELS. WE NEED THIS IN 2020!
Why would you want this in 2020 in particular and not in any other year?
@@babasemka Because everything else is so shit. Some good news are very welcome at this point.
@@NaCl-e Imagine thinking you actually know what shitty life is, while posting this comment from your phone/tablet/computer, while sitting on your comfy chair with roof over your head, not starving at all. The nerves. The hypocrisy.
@@babasemka Imagine downplaying some peoples feelings because other people have it worse.
If you go to the doctors and tell them you are suffering with severe migraines, you should apparently not be treated, because some place in the world someone is suffering more than you.
Can you not see how stupid that logic is? Rich or poor, house or no house, people can suffer and have it bad. You cannot simply compare two peoples suffering like that. But due to covid a lot of people are indeed suffering more than they used to, many people have died as well, but apparently this is not bad, because somewhere someone is being tortured to death.
I think you should think this through one more time. People can feel bad and suffer even when their life is great othervice.
@@NaCl-e imagine me, caring about the feelings of whiny people, acting as if they know what having shitty life actually is. Also imagine anyone reading that long ass novel...😂
My favorite Beatles song.
I’ve only just found Gunship recently. Pretty cool to be so early to a new release
Welcome!
This is the best cover of any song I've ever heard. Alex, Alex, Dan... I want you to know that Gunship is easily and objectively the greatest band currently making music, and a solid contender for the greatest band that ever did. When I first heard Dark All Day, you guys quickly made the #1 spot on my list of favourite bands which had been the same for years before discovering you.
Phenomenal work as always. Thank you.
I agree
The new Gunship cover of Eleanor Rigby is OUT OF THIS WORLD. It takes a certain musical prowess to cover a song like this, or even choose to do so. Well done lads top job.
I DO DECLARE: A BANGER
This song resonates strongly with me, as it is a very relatable theme. This version of it and the original are like a theme for me.
This song is like the confluence of Tangerine Dream and The Beatles and I didn’t know how badly I needed it.
This deserves ALL THE VIEWS.
Wasn't expecting Beatles to be one of the bands to get covered by Gunship...
Very apropos given the song and the video. People are so lost in their devices, many won’t make it back.
The artwork, the music, the lyrics...hits the feels hard. Well done Gunship.
Great composing. And a great song in general that was even relevant before the pandemic! The synths also take me back to the good old Yazoo days.
I really appreciate that you guys kept a lot of what was great about the original while still adding your own style to it. So many covers either don't do anything new with the song or change too much and kill what was great about the original. I think this showed a lot of taste, nice job. You guys consistently prove to be a cut above a lot of the other groups in your genre.
For a Gunship fan and a Beatles fan... There's nothing better than this. 👌
Gunship - the world needs more of it right now. Love it!
Digital retro future funk. Classic! Hard pulling off a Beatles remix without sounding corny. Kudos 🦾
Nearing 3 years and I still cant believe this was covered by you guys.
Sounds like the theme song from phantasm in the beginning .very cool !!!!
Grateful I was introduced to your music. It's beyond appealing and absolutely perfect to me. Even your covers are done with careful detail but they have your own Gunship sound that makes them your own in a way. As a musician and fan, I fully appreciate all that you do! I hope you make music for years to come!
New Gunship. ALRIGHT! 😎
Just the other night was I 'avin a right old chin wag with the old dear down the nuclear sub reminiscing about the musk of Macca's closet!
Cor Blimey Guv'nor!
Fantastic.
@@GUNSHIPMUSIC i was just thinking that myself. but ey up im a reet broader northerner iam. goin down pub wirrme whippet
This freaking band... Never have i felt more in sync with a band. I mean like super down to earth. No one expects them to release the same albums without the vocals for easier covers. The very niche clips of Berserk. And now this. It's a great age to be alive.
man... if I thought what would gunship sound like if they were the beetles, now I know. Never knew I wanted this.
You guys are awesome! A big hug from Italy, patiently waiting for your next album
The Beatles.
I grew up, my mom had their best hits on CD along with all the individual albums she loved most. We would listen to it every day on the way to school.
I never listened to the lyrics that closely.
Such a sad song. So real for us today.
I'm fighting back tears thinking about it. I want to scream out with everything inside of me with the lyrics.
AHHHHHHHHHHHH
LOOK AT ALL THE LONELY PEOPLE
I truly needed this. Had a long week and this sounds perfect and gives me peace!!! thank you Gunship for your incredible talent.
Fucking amazing. I'd love a mix of this where you let the beat ride for a few minutes after the vocals proper!
Oh what a nice song!!! Thank you for releasing more stuff!!! I love your music. Especially nowadays when all world is mad!
I was waiting for this, I knew you guys were gonna make something near halloween
Wow Gunship you absolutely nailed that! What a combination, that song & your style
Amazingly magic!!!!!! Thank you Gunship for your talent!!!!!
Omg I love it guys. Love love love! ❤️💕
As long as Gunship is in this world, I can stay happy & sane in what's become such an insane world.
When you love synth and the Beatles 🥰
I cannot get over how y'all manage to kill it every time. This is amazing! 🤩
I`m glad you`re guys are alive. Love Gunsip, your music makes my life better
Such a good work. One of my favourite songs by the Beatles and you did such a good work...
0:50 I legit looked up at a mirror as I heard that bit and just couldn't contain a chuckle to myself. One of those good timing moments
Ive just listened to this at least ten times in a row! Utterly, scintillatingly beautiful and incredibly apposite for the times we are living in. Incredible work. Thank YOU!!!
Stunning cover of one of my favourite Beatles songs. Thank you for doing this. It's awesome. :)
This is a perfect example of "this can't be done better"
Will be looping this for a few days.
The band "The Demonstration" did an awesome cover of this song years ago then it disappeared.
And again, it's not just the song that's fantastic, also the artwork and video! Always amazed by how good everything you guys produce is
I've probably listened to this a solid 20 or 30 times now, and I've added it to my Spotify. I love this band so much, I listen to them all the time when I play games, on the way to work, or when I'm just relaxing
I just came across this in my recommend feed. First I've ever herd of Gunship. Liked and subscribed.
Wow. This is very well done, with genuine musicality and respect for the source material. It's nice to find something of genuine value, and not just a disco beat. I hope you do more tributes!
This is incredible, please do more covers like this...
Fuck yeah that was awesome! One of my favorite songs done extraordinarily well!!!
This was much needed. Thank you. Can't wait for whatever is next. New Gunship is always a better day.
Fantastic - another excellent tune Gunship!
Love the sound of this, the start reminds me of John Capenters The Fog
I love this cover of Eleanor Rigby, it's so well done and sounds gorgeous , I love the Beatles, and I think you've hit the mark on it, nicely done.
Amazing rendition of a beautiful classic! Very well done!
EPIC DARK FAIRY TALE VERSION! EPIC Atmosphere....Put this in a Tim Burton movie IMMEDIATELY!
In a retro-futuristic Tim Burton movie*
I listen to you guys a lot when I'm at work and it always makes me happy.
This has always been one of my favorite Beatles songs.
Amazing as always. Cant wait for a new album!
Never was a huge Beatles fan, but always loved this song, and this cover is amazing!
I love the opening!!♥♥♥
The most brilliant band in synthwave genre!
Gunship makes me not alone
Oh I needed this SO BAD! I was just in a serious spell, burnt out because of school, work, and just no chance for normal social stuff. Months of this have slowly brought me lower and lower. This song just sent a spark. Thank you. Wish the whole world knew your guys' work.
Great work guys. Love this cover. You are amazing!
Great cover! Hope next year finds us all a lot better off. Hang in there everybody!
Loving this evolution in the music. I've been listening since tech noir came out and these are always good. I love the new take on an old classic.
The Beatles and synth the perfect mix
Brilliant. Such a great surprise and deep motivation behind the song choice.
I absolutely LOVE this!!
I love all you beautiful fools!! ❤️😍❤️
Love it! Really well done. Probably my second favorite cover, next to the old Godhead one.
The image is has so much meaning and symbolism when related to the lyrics of this song. I love it.
Holy fuck. My favorite Beatles song.... it has many great covers and This is among the best.
What a timeless song. I’m not super familiar with the Beatles. This song could have been written today. I can not help but wonder how many desperately lonely people are out there. I see them on twitter and other places. It rends my heart that many of them are trapped
In their self made darkness they don’t want out. They’re happy in their misery.
Goosebumps! You know it’s a good song when it causes it!!
GUNSHIP not stopping with the interesting rich mixes. The sounds and everything would clash so hard without the smooth mixing. They are certainly something to watch out for.
Yes!!!!! Thank you !!!! I needed this!
I can't like this enough. Gunship plucks on every nostalgic heart strings I have
Thank you guys so much for putting this out today!! @gunship
This is an amazing version of an already great song, and with smashing artwork to boot! Happy Halloween indeed!
Dark Lord knows I needed this right now.
Thank you Gunship, for everything you do. :)
I am seriously in awe of this band. God, I hope they do see a live performance someday and tour so I can see it.
Love gunship but to me this was an already perfect song. Love the depth of sound and passion put into it you guys and gals! This goup rocks and is at the forfront of talent in synthwave. Undisputed.
GUNSHIP notification? Don't mind if I dooooo
same hahahaha
Ikrrrr
I didn't expect to like this, but very nicely done, and so relevant for this situation we find ourselves in this year (2020). Keep up the good work
A new Gunship song?! Just what I needed after getting home from a 10 hour shift on 2 hours of sleep.
Hoping for another song this Halloween. Love your music.
Love this!🥰,awesome rendition. Wow!!!
A fantastic song as usual Gunship!
