Explained in English Kiah Dana

Most people live in cities and have lots of other people around them. Still, many would say that they feel lonely, or alone. This is a song about how people live their lives, often without good friendships or any close relationships. It's a critique of society and the way we live.

Now, let's take a look at the lyrics of the song "Eleanor Rigby" by The Beatles.

LYRICS:

Verse 1:
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby, picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

Chorus:
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Verse 2:
Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?

Verse 3:
Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved

Life is always changing. This is a song for anyone feeling the ups and downs, the highs and lows, the cycle of struggle and ease in relationships, work, and every area of our lives. Now, let's take a look at the lyrics of the song "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" by Creedence Clearwater Revival.
