| | Eleanor Rigby Lyrics - The Beatles |
 | | 'Eleanor Rigby' was always a great song by The Beatles. | | | It continues until the second syllable of "Eleanor." The bad mixing of the double tracking continues throughout the rest of the song, every time there is a transition from single to double or vice versa. | | | It was done with the orchestra, but the way we did it, we put it into an eerie graveyard setting and made it spooky, the way the lyrics read. |

| | Eleanor Rigby is not a Beatles song you hear people talk about - perhaps because it lies way outside the holy trinity - built around Dear Prudence, I Am The Walrus and Hey Jude - that was enshrined during the Britpop period, maybe because St. John Lennon's contribution is barely audible. | | | And The Beatles' two characters, Eleanor Rigby and Father McKenzie, are emblematic of exactly the same period. | | | That said, the 18-month old bootleg/mash-up/Bastard Pop craze has seen all kinds of unauthorised remixes of the song: last month, I received a Jacknife Lee treatment in which the song is set to the most skeletal of hip hop backings, and Paul McCartney's voice interrupts the music in the manner of a ghost. |

| | Paul McCartney |
| | His songwriting credits for The Beatles include “Yesterday”, “Eleanor Rigby”, and “Hey Jude.” After The Beatles broke up in 1970, McCartney launched a successful solo career and formed the band Wings (1971–81) with his wife, Linda. |

| | Tony Sings the Great Hits of Today |
| | Considering I spent months tracking down this album, not for its comedy value but for the magnificence of his cover of "Live for Life," it is safe to say this album is hardly ALL bad. | | | Here's what Tony was doing back in 1969, when his career wasn't in such good shape -- covering Beatles tunes and trying his best to appeal to the younger generation. | | | That the bean-counters were in charge is clearly evident with these two selections from this musical debacle. |

| | The song has two characters, Eleanor Rigby and Father McKenzie. | | | It's interesting to point out to students that this song has an end, a note of finality. | | | Shouldn't the shepherd of a church see that he has a dreaming, lonely woman sitting back there, wedding after wedding? |

| | After listening to more of the record you hear the heady symbolism of "Eleanor Rigby", the Beach Boys-like harmony of "Here, There and Everywhere", the horns-rich McCartney kicker "Got To Get You Into My Life" and the Lennon acid-trip-set-to-music "Tomorrow Never Knows". | | | The guitar stylings of George Harrison are what you hear first, as "Taxman" plays through your phono speakers, a great new Beatles tune indeed. | | | Looking back on it now, I almost feel like it would sound like a greatest hits album even though only yellow submarine and eleanor rigby are still namechecked in interviews. |

| | Liz is the heavy, rapidly aging heroine of Coupland’s ninth novel, Eleanor Rigby, a name that arises only once in the book’s pages (it is half of Liz’s chosen e-mail address), but the grim pop of the Beatles song lends the comedy its dark spirit. | | | Eleanor Rigby is less structurally complex than 2003’s Hey, Nostradamus! | | | When he finishes this tour of Canada and the United States, he will throw his ritualistic “book’s over” party and light Eleanor Rigby aflame. |

| | Alan W. Pollack's Notes on "Eleanor Rigby" |
| | And I wonder, putting aside for the moment the undeniable special quality, per se, of "Eleanor Rigby", whether perhaps one critical element in its ability to succeed is the fact that it comes to us with the imprimatur of the Beatles. | | | Where does the inspiration for something like this song come from, and whatever happened to the cute Beatle who wrote it? | | | How much of the compositional credit should George Martin get for this song? |

| | Here the reader might fiddle with her iPod until "Eleanor Rigby" comes on, and ponder that song's second line: Lives in a dream. | | | Devin McKinney, in his Beatles exegesis Magic Circles, writes that "Eleanor Rigby" has "the fine imagery, the minimalist exactness of polite literature, but it barely conceals itself as a psychotic piece of music." He convincingly suggests that producer George Martin got the idea for the stabbing, staccato string arrangement from Bernard Herrmann's score to Psycho. | | | Having sympathetically sketched the sadness of Liz's life, Coup-land proceeds to shake her out of complacency by Hale-Bopping at her all manner of surprises, including Jeremy (her long-lost 20-year-old son, given up for adoption at birth, now suffering from MS and having visions) and a pseudo-meteorite falling from the sky. |

| | The idea - which seems to be trademarked as a Samuel Beckett original these days but is more than likely as old as the hills - that we can't know and we can't be known. | | | The involvement of Liz's family and the visions Jeremy suffers as his brain deteriorates are subtle nods to previous works (All Families and Psychotic and Girlfriend in a Coma, respectively) - but Eleanor Rigby is infinitely better than both of those books. | | | Where previously Coupland had a tendency to turn the contrast up way high (I blame whatever medication Coupland was taking in the early 90s), these days sombre resignation appears to be the way to go (Eleanor Rigby feels like a refinement of those earlier books). |
