“Eleanor Rigby” was released by The Beatles in 1966 as part of their Revolver album roll-out. 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 2:02 Source: American Songwriter
The song tells the story of two lonely people. First, we meet a churchgoing woman named Eleanor Rigby, who is seen cleaning up rice after a wedding. The second verse introduces the pastor, Father McKenzie, whose sermons "no one will hear." 3:45 This could indicate that nobody in coming to his church, or that his sermons aren't getting through to the congregation on a spiritual level. In the third verse, Eleanor dies in the church and Father McKenzie buries her. Source: Songfacts

I wish there was more than a piano. Anyway, many of "The Beatles" music is nice if played by classical orchestra if you know what I mean.
Search Cody Fry’s version, I think you’d enjoy it
