"Eleanor Rigby" is a song released in 1966 as part of the album "Revolver." It was written mainly by Paul McCartney, and Co-Written by John Lennon, in addition to the orchestration carried out by George Martin. Eleanor Rugby has an introspective lyrical style and a melancholic melody. It tells the story of Eleanor Rigby, a lonely woman who lives a life of solitude and anonymity, and Father McKenzie, a forgotten priest who conducts her funeral. The song's instrumentation was unusual by the band's standards, as it featured a string quartet instead of typical rock-pop. This gives it a distinctive and emotional quality. Eleanor Rigby is considered one of McCartney's greatest compositions, and is praised for its moving narrative and striking musical arrangement.
