"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" ~this part always made me shade a tears..
They have a song for most human experiences/emotions and life events. So insightful considering very young they were, when many old people have no insight/wisdom.
The Beatles' harmonic chorus at the start of the recording that was released in 1966 makes all the difference to me. It jumps out at you and has a galvanizing energy, repeated in the middle of the song as well. Plus, Lennon's and Harrison's voices are heard underneath McCartney's at the end. Paul is a genius, no doubt, but the group's dynamism can't be duplicated by just one person.
Also, the 1966 recording is very clear and powerful. Playing the track in the car, and Paul could be sitting right next to you. Compared to that, this is a bit weedy. If this production had been on Revolver, then we would never have known how good it could have been.
+Luō ēn dasnewtron I was looking for the video and it was blocked, it was quite a disappointment because their music is in a sense a revolution and a peak in musical history. In my opinion their hasn't been a band this good in a long time.
Every time I watch the beginning of the video and I see Paul rub his eyes and yawn, I just feel bad for him....but then again, he could always be just tired naturally
Paul is a musical genius. So much has come from this mans mind that it has shaped modern culture...for the better. His songs are happy and positive in a dark world.
@@gopetogle Yet there's still a bluesiness right under the melancholy. The layers of this song on different levels (musically, melodically, the feel of it) never cease to amaze. (Same goes for the Beatles catalog as a whole...)
I love Paul Mcartney's best work like this and although it's less of his output over the years, it's such great music. I wonder exactly how the original arrangement was formed regarding the orchestration aspects because it's quite likely this wasn't entirely formed by Paul I would guess like in fact a lot of the Beatle's work
"My approach [to Eleanor Rigby] was greatly influenced by Bernard Herrmann and his film score for PSYCHO. He had a way of making violins sound fierce. That inspired me to have the strings play short notes forcefully, giving the song a nice punch. If you listen to the two, you'll hear the connection." Sir George Martin
+Mark Smith Yes--Herrmann liked to get the vibrato out of string sounds and George Martin caught on. The PSYCHO score was huge and it's criminal that there was never an ORIGINAL soundtrack recording because Herrmann's conducting on the soundtrack is ferocious! But George Martin got that sound into an unforgettable Beatles song. RIP Sir George.
Worth remembering that the idea for the strings in this case was Paul's and that he stipulated aspects of the recording as well - as confirmed by George Martin and John Lennon, as well as engineer Geoff Emerick. According to Martin, Paul sat with him at the piano and demonstrated the chord stabs that he wanted the double quartet to play, also insisting that they play "with no vibrato". Martin noted with amusement that the players disliked this instruction because "it would make them sound like schoolboys" and in fact did sneak in a little vibrato. Martin was sure that after the fact "Paul realised that what he got was right." Paul also insisted that the strings sound "really biting", so engineer Emerick moved the microphones unusually close to the instruments. Each time he did so the players woukd sneakily move theIr chairs back!
Oh that is GOOD! Actually though, with not having to deal with the public during this pandemic, its amazing how he’s shed YEARS off his super stressed look!😂
I can feel the emptiness of the 60s turned into 80s middle age, with Lennon 3 years in the rear view mirror but still very much in view and melancholy permeating, reigning over like a storm cloud.
Words can't describe how good of a song this is, and how good of a band The Beatles are. It has been about 50 years since The Beatles started and no one can hold a candle to them still.
hi! maybe you are right! but there are two Pauls for sure!!! they sing and move on a different way and one is from england and the other i dont know from where but he doesn't sing or move like the right one!!
Saw McCartney perform at the Olympics - and was delighted that the Beetles after all these years were given such a prominent place, musically and visually world wide, on this occasion. You guys spoke to my generation in the 1960s and the next in the 1980s - I am glad the new generation can relate to you and all the fabulous music you have given us.Very pleased that John (though, no more with us) and Yoko were also celebrated.

I went and visited Eleanor Rigby’s grave where John and Paul first played... it really was a lonely church with over grown plants... such a great song writer
I was about nine years old when I found this video. It started my true appreciation for the Beatles and for music from these times. Now I'm twice the age I was and damn they still sound so good to me. It'll never get old.
I concede, McCartney wrote Eleanor Rigby, while Lennon wrote Imagine. Imagine is considered by some as Lennon's best. Rigby is an artistic success, with its fatalistic theme.
Hoppy Birdy Paul..... 69 and still making hearts skip a beat. Love the voice, never do I get tired of listening to it. I just wish that I could have seen at least one of your live performances. Living up north in Canada, it will never happen. keep on a rockin... xoxo
There's something eerie about seeing these songs performed in an intimate studio setting without the other Beatles and so many years after it was first recorded. It's like returning to your old school as an adult, with all the classrooms empty and none of your friends to accompany you.
The great Beatles' song , "Eleanor Rigby" never gets old! Just as phenomenal a song to listen to today as when it was first recorded by the Beatles in the 1960's!
google translate: that quality writing, everything in life happens but the delivery and quality that is this artist to indulge his audience is unsurpassed so hopefully always follow you for such beautiful melodies .......... yesterday today and forever thank you truer words could not be said... gracias, palabras más verdaderas no se puede decir
Aw yes the higjlights ot their musical and experimental carrer was definitly rovlvr and the genuius songs that were writden including the master songas of rgwirjgwe harosismbgkksldl.
This song, in all its forms, is the best work Paul has created. There needs to be some sort of international maritime law that he has to sing it everywhere he goes.
Paul and john were born at just the right time..to come of age when pop music was all brand new and open for creativity and they arrived to find george Martin. Who's production gave many of there most memorable songs .that special quality from classical training...the stars aligned ..and there creations still move us..
I've just finished reading Paul's account of how he came to write "Eleanor Rigby". The article is in the Oct. 25, 2021 edition of The New Yorker magazine. Fascinating account by him of the events and a reproduction of the hand written lyrics on note paper.
In an October 2021 article in The New Yorker, McCartney wrote that his inspiration for "Eleanor Rigby" was an old lady who lived alone and whom he got to know very well. He would go shopping for her and sit in her kitchen listening to stories and her crystal radio set. McCartney said, "just hearing her stories enriched my soul and influenced the songs I would later write." McCartney wrote the melody and first verse alone, after which he presented the song to the Beatles when they were gathered in the music room of John Lennon's home at Kenwood. Lennon, George Harrison, Ringo Starr and Lennon's childhood friend Pete Shotton all listened to McCartney play his song through and contributed ideas. Harrison came up with the "Ah, look at all the lonely people" hook. Starr contributed the line "writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear" and suggested making "Father McCartney" darn his socks, which McCartney liked. It was then that Shotton suggested that McCartney change the name of the priest, in case listeners mistook the fictional character for McCartney's own father. So Paul took his advise and looked through a phone book until he found 'McKenzie'. McCartney could not decide how to end the song, and Shotton suggested that the two lonely people come together too late as Father McKenzie conducts Eleanor Rigby's funeral. At the time, Lennon rejected the idea out of hand, but McCartney said nothing and used the idea, later acknowledging Shotton's help. McCartney also asked the advice of Neil Aspinall and Mal Evans. John Lennon expressed his resentment at the way McCartney had sought other bandmates' and friends' creative input, rather than collaborate with him directly. Lennon added, "That's the kind of insensitivity he would have, which upset me in later years. "Ah, look at all the lonely people" refrain over the song's final chorus. was requested by George Martin, who said he came up with the idea of the line working contrapuntally to the chorus melody.
What kind of feeling for George Martin to alive this star-time of POP-Music! The beat-music makes the marvellous jump into the classic! Played from this 24 years old man of the best popgroup of the world!
This the closet thing to the actual Revolver recording I have ever seen. Too bad there are so few actual high quality recordings of the Beatles performing live in the studio when they were at their peak, beside the Let It Be recordings. Would have been great to see them laying down the track to She's Leaving home with John. Emerick wrote they were sitting facing each other in the studio with the lights lowered for atmosphere. Paul and John singing to one another. Can you image if that was caught on video. 3 billion views I would bet.
In this case, he was the same guy. Not so, here, years before colored contact lenses, and THIS "PAUL" has green eyes ... th-cam.com/video/A_MjCqQoLLA/w-d-xo.html
@@Tonetwisters christ sake his eyes are hazel and fun fact: eyes look like they change color with the lighting dumbass, also pigmentation in the eyes start to make the eyes lighter in caucasians as they age. hence seen here as paul is a decade older, get your facts straight my guy. this hoax is still going 50 years later and its fucking terrifying.
That colour is not green, it's hazel. Hazel eyes often appear to shift in color from a brown to a green. You can see it in Help! (the movie) and it was before the "PID" theory.
Thanks Paul. Thanks to the rest of the band for being gracious enough to allow a single band member to express himself. If they didn't this beautiful song would have been shelved.
Paul McCartney is such an amazingly talented man. Paul by himself, with the Beatles, with Wings, with Stevie Wonder, with Michael Jackson. Extraordinary!!
@@debessar95why mot he sang it!!!with his ego and constantly attack on paul,he would not allow that paul would sang this if it was his song!!!!THINK SOMETIMES!!!
@@arlene8938 John wrote or edited the lyrics for almost all of the Beatles' songs. This is a well-known fact. He also owned most of the songs on the albums. If he sang all the songs, he would be a solo artist. In addition, the lead vocals for a particular song are chosen according to a number of criteria.
That echo and that whole empty room really does something for the song in my opinion
That natural reverberation is great
DrCerebro I agree
Amen
It's almost as if that was the intended metaphor
And the fact that he was changed into a tuxedo❤️

2021 still watching
This clip is from the movie "give my regards to broad Street"
David R my favorite action movie
the beatles are timeless
I remember it coming through our Bakelite kitchen radio and being enthralled but not knowing exactly what it was. Music can do that to a young mind.
Nss ah 13 anos esse vídeo foi postado e hoje tá fazendo sucesso 😍❤️
This the closet thing to the actual Revolver recording I have ever seen. Too bad there are so few actual high quality recordings of the Beatles performing live in the studio when they were at their peak, beside the Let It Be recordings. Would have been great to see them laying down the track to She's Leaving home with John. Emerick wrote they were sitting facing each other in the studio with the lights lowered for atmosphere. Paul and John singing to one another. Can you image if that was caught on video. 3 billion views I would bet.
PID theorists. This is all I need to see. Same guy
In this case, he was the same guy. Not so, here, years before colored contact lenses, and THIS "PAUL" has green eyes ...

@@Tonetwisters christ sake his eyes are hazel and fun fact: eyes look like they change color with the lighting dumbass, also pigmentation in the eyes start to make the eyes lighter in caucasians as they age. hence seen here as paul is a decade older, get your facts straight my guy. this hoax is still going 50 years later and its fucking terrifying.
That colour is not green, it's hazel. Hazel eyes often appear to shift in color from a brown to a green. You can see it in Help! (the movie) and it was before the "PID" theory.
Cockshield now why the hell would he/they want to do that old man?
PID.
涙出てきた。

Thanks Paul. Thanks to the rest of the band for being gracious enough to allow a single band member to express himself. If they didn't this beautiful song would have been shelved.
this man is truly a living legend ...Ringo appears well too...great to see !!
Paul McCartney is such an amazingly talented man. Paul by himself, with the Beatles, with Wings, with Stevie Wonder, with Michael Jackson. Extraordinary!!
Lyrics by John Lennon.
@@debessar95why mot he sang it!!!with his ego and constantly attack on paul,he would not allow that paul would sang this if it was his song!!!!THINK SOMETIMES!!!
@@arlene8938 John wrote or edited the lyrics for almost all of the Beatles' songs. This is a well-known fact. He also owned most of the songs on the albums. If he sang all the songs, he would be a solo artist. In addition, the lead vocals for a particular song are chosen according to a number of criteria.
@@debessar95untrue lmao
One of the most haunting songs ever written. I heard that Paul said it was written about his fans. Don't know if it's true or not.
Música sensacional!!!
my absolute favorite Lennon/McCartney composition. Stunning by any measure
AMAZING SONG!!! so beautiful and sad at the same time !
