Well that's not right! Lol when I went to school I wanted to play violin but we didnt have enough violists so they asked people to change instruments and I ended up mastering the viola. 1st chair every year! 😁 Edit: We played this Freshman year too! Love it so much! 💗💗💗

OMG, I just LOVE the cello!!! 😻 If you wanna check out a very interesting Japanese artist, look up *Kanon Wakeshima* . She does gothic pop songs with the cello as her main instrument. *Kanon Wakeshima - Still Doll Lyrics HQ* kzread.info/dash/bejne/rJedlJh7hdfXfZM.html

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?
Very nice! It is astonishing to listen to McCartney's melodic compositions. Many of his songs can be interpreted without lyrics on the strength of their melody alone. ' Fool on the Hill, ' ' Yesterday, ' ' She's Leaving Home, ' ' Penny Lane ' are all stand alone tunes. Quite amazing!
"But first, let us finish the quartet" "Trio" "Trio?" "Duet." "D-duet?" "Solo." "Young Fred, the meanies are coming!" Haha no one will get this reference but still.

To me this is the most beautiful song Paul McCartney ever wrote. The imagery that it creates sends one into a different world. Thank you Paul you are God's gift 🙏
Their music is so expressive you can almost hear the lyrics. A classic Beatles composition that lends itself well to this kind of musical tribute.
That shows that the Beatles made music for history of mankind. They will live forever more! Love it!!
I’m just gonna keep this on repeat for a while.... I love this so much goodness gracious
Fabulous!!! Each individual’s part just makes this awesome. The movements, the introduction of each part, the members enthusiasm all just come together magically.

Yes, it really is a wonderful arrangement in that it emphasizes the importance of each instrument in the performance as a whole. Bravo!
The goosebumps never went away during the whole performance. An amazing job! Bravo!
That is really amazing.
I don't comment much, but this performance was sublime! The vocalisations must have been so technically intricate, that only the most gifted could execute them so flawlessly. Bravo!!
I really like that the bass player is a gigantic man. It makes it look nicer in the ensemble. It's more proportionate in some weird but cool way
Absolutely magnificent! Thank you to everyone involved with this performance and video. 👏💯❤️
I can’t stop listening to them great job 👏🏻
Beyond beautiful. Many, many thanks.
Absolutely love this version!!!
im lonley thank god for evryone playing. thank you seriously from the bottom of my heart it is beautiful
The melody of the song alone hides the suffering of the song without the words
Best instrumental version o have ever heard of one of my all time favorite songs! This deserves to be recognized way way more!!

@daniel letterman the first violin seemed out of proportion to the rest Of the group, I think. Second was just right. Needed more viola, bass, and cello
Bellissimo!
Perfect 🥰😍😍👏😍👏😍
Aside from having a recording studio, the Fab 4 used 4 violins, 2 violas and 2 cellos, thus the richer sound. Still, these guys so great.
Bloody brilliant.
The soul soars 🙂

Stupefyingly beautiful
Superb arrangement and performance.
Simply marvelous. The Beatles withou changing the melody.
Melancholic & beautifully played
Brilliant inspiration to me
Excellent! ❤️
Masterpiece ❤️ And I'm glad they keep the original tempo.
