“I don't like to assume that someone like Jesus was alive now and pretending and imagining what he would do. But if he was Jesus and he believed he was the real Jesus who had the same opinions as before – well, Eleanor Rigby wouldn't mean much to him. (John Lennin) Eleanor Rigby is rightly known as one of Beetle's most timeless compositions to date. This song marked a change in the optimism of the Beatles' "happy go lucky" tune in their previous works, and in its place presented an almost dark cynical atmosphere. Written by Paul McCartney and produced by George Lennin; Eleanor Rigby was composed in the basement of John Asher's family home in Wimpole Street, London. This song was initially supposed to be a love ballad, but it quickly turned into a melodic tune about the loneliness that occurs in the lives of two people. The song begins with a recurrence of the line "look at all the lonely people". This creates emphasis on the topic under discussion, solidarity. The intent of this repetition was to exaggerate the loneliness prevalent in the world. The song's narrators wish to highlight the loneliness he experiences in the faces of those around him. Cockroaches have an aura of unity when they sing this verse using the word "all" when referring to people. “Everything” can be seen as hyperbole since it is used as an exaggeration intended to bring attention to the plight of those who suffer, to the bleak feeling of being alone in a “sea of ​​people.” The purpose of this hyperbole makes loneliness the great equalizer, it doesn't see ethnicity or gender, rather misery affects everyone. .. middle of paper ......while this song was being composed, the Beatles didn't know the impact it would have on their audience. “There was no plan behind this song, it just happened” (John Leninn) Many critics would call it an unplanned masterpiece. McCartney claims that the story painted for millions to see was nothing more than his imagination. The Beatles wanted to take their listeners on a journey to post-war Britain. They wanted the public to feel the pain that women and children felt after losing loved ones to war. Often called a ballad to "lament the lonely," this song has become much more than an ode. Unknown to the Beatles, the new sound of "Eleanor Rigby" would be important to their evolution into the POP genre. “I think Eleanor Rigby represented a very important musical step forward. It definitely inspired me to listen to more songs along those lines." (Pete Townshend)
