Thrice - Eleanor Rigby (Beatles Cover)

Cover of Eleanor Rigby by Beatles.
Appeared in If We Could Only See Us Now.
Lyrics:
Ah, look at all the lonely people.
Ah, look at all the lonely people.
Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice at the church where a wedding has been,
Lives in a dream.
Sits by the window, wearing a face that she keeps in a jar by the door,
Who is it for?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
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?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
Ah, look at all the lonely people.
Ah, look at all the lonely people.
Ah, look at all the lonely people.
Ah, look at all the lonely people.
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.
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?
All the lonely people,
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?

Who still in here in 2024?

[@kyletalbot7990]

Came here because there was an interview with Stephen Colbert and Paul McCartney about the best Beatles cover, and of course, this was not mentioned.

[@Hikerhikeshikes19]

This brings me back YEARS. I had this on some weird little mp3 player and was my first introduction to Thrice.

[@xXxaRCH4NGeLxXx]

This was my first introduction to Thrice. I listened to the lower quality version and just loved it so much that I could listen to it over and over. I had the pleasure of being introduced to Thrice by a friend for a different album/sound, but I always come back to this song when I'm in a Thrice mood. I wish that there was a full blown cover done by them with full engineering.

[@conscious_apalachee3384]

Agreed!!!!!!

[@MattFralala]

Thank you for a legendary song with a decent quality rip and a shit load of nostalgia

[@py_a_thon]

Thrice is/was a very underrated band.
This song is like Hendrix covering All Along the Watchtower by Bob Dylan.
Perfect. Beautiful.

[@blixxy1320]

there’s a lot of talented bands that don’t get the respect they deserve just because they’re labeled “butt rock”

[@py_a_thon]

@@blixxy1320 I don't really refer to genres in music, Unless Metal. And at that point, I just adhere to the genre designations provided. (Metalheads are very specific regarding how they trace the origins and connections of their music.)
I think more about regions and form. Where is the band from? What is the style rooted in? What tools are used? Etc.

[@robertmangl6954]

I just don't know what's more appropriate: the hidden anger of the original or the open one of this one. they're equal, and that means something from an outspoken beatles fancier.

[@tonyattardo9350]

Thrice is my favorite band. The Beatles version is better, so much work for a 2:44 song, the strings the restraint in the anger you mentioned. It’s one of the saddest songs ever, but like Fur Elise level beauty.

[@robertmangl6954]

@@tonyattardo9350 Yeah (yeah, yeah! :) ), there is music that is too beautiful to be easily bearable.

[@editingdude122]

So happy to have a high quality rip here

[@ZeroSechs]

Why isn't this on Spotify? I was searching for it for a hot minute

[@cassovel1]

Yeah I'm pretty bummed this isn't on Spotify. It's an amazing cover they did. I'm my opinion one of the best cover songs of all time.. even better than the "back that thang up" cover by "my gay uncle"

[@GreyFox250]

Waiting for this and Eclipse to come to Spotify 😮‍💨

[@Ronnock]

And Helter Skelter, the Weight of Glory, and she's so heavy.

[@MrCrutson]

Ah look at all the lonely people
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
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
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
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Ah look at all the lonely people
Ah look at all the lonely people
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
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

[@mengkhang1037]

Definitely one of my top 5 bands covering a great song with their own take that makes it amazing!

[@shuzzASAP]

Fuckin love this.

[@rarzi11a]

The fact that this song was released 19 years ago, and people are still commenting on this cover, is why Thrice is the Greatest Band Ever.

[@ZitiPatrol]

Kensrue is very underrated.

[@chuxn12]

Where D○•° They All Come From?!!

[@Nairb1007]

I had this cd. Now searching for it on LP. Can’t find it anywhere.

[@rarzi11a]

Better find that cd.
