[Music] A sad song that touches the soul - Eleanor Rigby - 1966
Today I bring you one of the saddest and most melancholic songs from the second phase of their discography. It evokes sadness in me, but not in a depressive way. It's more the kind of sadness you feel when you want something you don't know if it exists or if it will ever arrive. It's a feeling of longing, and I think we've all felt it at some point.
In the song, McCartney masterfully focuses on the theme of loneliness, divine loneliness, a companion that always accompanies me. I think that because it's a universal theme, it touches us deeply, just like those passionate songs of love or torrid romances that have affected us all in one way or another.
The song was recorded for the sessions of the legendary album "Revolver" in August 1966 at EMI Studios in London, under the superb production of George Martin, who lent part of his orchestra to the musical arrangement. Thus, in this unforgettable piece, we can hear four violins, a viola, and two cellos, a delight for us fans of this unforgettable band. And of course, John couldn't be missing on backing vocals, with Paul and George also lending their harmonious voices to the chorus.
There are many theories and conjectures about the origins of Eleanor Rigby. What is certain is that in Liverpool there is a grave of a woman named Eleanor Rigby, and many believe that McCartney was inspired by this illustrious 19th-century woman to compose his song. I presume that since Paul always saw the solitary grave as a child, he composed this musical gem for her. In fact, the song begins with "look at all those lonely people."
The song was also part of the soundtrack for the 1968 animated film "Yellow Submarine." It appears at the beginning of the film, and the video I'm sharing today is taken from that movie, exactly as it appears. According to some of the dialogue in the film, Eleanor Rigby is described as a persevering, strong-willed person and a role model for society—qualities of a just and good woman.

mirá, la frase “divine loneliness” me hizo pensar en la soledad que sintió Jesús en el huerto, es así nomás.
¿cómo vivís esa sensación de anhelo que describís en tu relato?
sentí que la canción también nos recuerda que la esperanza siempre está al otro lado del silencio.

Cayi caaayiii ..Qué bonito que Eleanor haya sido una persona real, una mujer de carne y hueso Hay algo especial en saber que detrás de esa canción hay una mujer que verdad existe, pude haber sido yo o cualquier otra., su Paul me hubiese visto tal vez me hubiese escrito una cancion. Se siente como si McCartney le hubiera dado una voz eterna a esa soledad que quizás Eleonor vivió en silencio y desesperadamente. Me encanta que una canción tan triste termine siendo un homenaje a alguien que probablemente nunca supo que su nombre sería recordado por millones. That is truly beautiful. Very beautiful and tender.
Y ese sentimiento de soledad que describís—ese anhelo de algo que no sabemos si existe—es It feels wonderful, so good porque es tan real. No es depresión, es más como esa sensación de estar rodeado de gente pero seguir sintiéndote solo que es aún peor, porque a pesar de estar rodeado de gente que te ama no sientes que sea así., Y creo que por eso la canción toca tanto: porque toca eso que todos llevamos adentro en algún momento y traspasa todo sentido. Y qué hermoso que una canción haya hecho que esa mujer del cementerio no esté tan sola después de todo. 🎵 Although she is dead, she is not so alone in the world of the living.

I was hoping to feel sad while listening to the song, but nay, 😊, maybe because I'm not lonely. Hahaha
I feel the singer at first was talking about the unmarried as the lonely people before shifting to people with no one beside them
