Eleanor Rigby / Julia - The Beatles

This is a sad song. No qualms. About lonely people - a woman named Eleonor Rigby, who dies, and the priest of her church, who fails to 'save' her. But listen to the string quartet arrangement at the back - it was done recently and then surgically inserted into the song as part of a remix package of their new Love album. I like it. Watch out for the ending, where a drifting guitar rift will morph it into the next song.

Very Haunting. Love the strings. Great last album.
