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

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.

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.

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.

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?

It's a cello. The bass for a symphony.

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.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!🎂🥳🎉🎊🎈💜

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!! 😊✌️

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...

Isolation is compelled. It's embedded in the DNA

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.

There is something wrong with your sound quality. Not sure why. As long as you are doing Beatles I'm with you.

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.

Great song , check out ZOOT (a band) do their version of this song , in my opinion the best version by far. 🤙🇭🇲🎸🎼

Dude pausing a Beatles song is like pausing while having sex. Comment after the song.

They have to pause or they will be blocked

Listen more, pause less. Show respect for the artist.
