Listen to this when
Eleanor Rigby
for everyone who feels like a face nobody notices 🕯️
Who it's for
McCartney's song sketches isolated people, a woman alone and a priest no one listens to, from a detached onlooker's view, and asks where all the lonely people come from.

What it is
"Eleanor Rigby" is a 1966 Beatles song, written mainly by Paul McCartney, from the album Revolver, released as a double A-side single with "Yellow Submarine." The song is about loneliness, following two isolated figures, Eleanor Rigby and Father McKenzie, a priest whose sermons go unheard, as seen by a detached narrator.
