The mere Politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them.

Even though we know it’s God’s will, for most of us, a reminder is a good thing, because in the midst of busyness and challenges of life, we often forget to be grateful for our many blessings.
I always think of a particular incident when I think of giving thanks. Many years ago, our friend Paul noticed that his young daughter Susannah had a ritual with her bedtime prayers. She always prayed, “God, bless Mommy, and Daddy, and …” She went down her list, asking God for her all her wants.
At prayer time one night, he said, “Susannah, you have a lot to be thankful for. I’d like you to start your…

Years ago, I read a fascinating article called “How the New Science of Thank You Can Change Your Life.” Apparently, scientific research has now been able to prove what God has been teaching people since the days of Cain: practicing gratitude can actually make us healthier – literally!!
Dr. Robert Emmons, a professor of psychology at UC Davis, was able to prove, in his lab, that being thankful can change us for the better. He took three groups of volunteers and assigned each group to focus on one thing:
The first group concentrated on everything that went wrong, or irritated them.
I see with my eyes and heart or what some say is an innate 6th sense and for me it’s been quite easy to grasp onto even putting aside Holy Scriptures if I must; that the complexity of existence and the impossibility of it all being happenstance or guess work is truly absurd!
This statement is very profoundly key to what I’d like to talk about here!
“I am very glad that I am part of creation. Someone thought of me, then made me. Aren’t you glad?”
The star-forming region NGC 3603 – seen here in the latest Hubble Space Telescope image – contains one of the most impressive massive young star clusters in the Milky Way. Bathed in gas and dust the cluster formed in a huge rush of star formation thought to have occurred around a million years ago. The hot blue stars at the core are responsible for carving out a huge cavity in the gas seen to the right of the star cluster in NGC 3603’s centre.
That is a truism and some words of wisdom. Someone did think of you and all of this in a completely perfect conceptualization manner, and it’s been said that God’s handiwork can be seen in all of existence! What you said here is a tribute to that revelation by others in the past who peered deeply into the unknown and even incomprehensible but did find significant clues or evidence of the fact that all of this was CONCEIVED and MADE implying absolutely forethought and decisive calculation beyond what we can even begin to fully appreciate let alone understand! But sometimes the obvious answers to the biggest questions are staring us right in the face; but too many people want to think they know better and can extrapolate some quantifiable formula or rationale that puts things in a representational perspective or model of some kind, that they can then promote or sell to the world while avoiding these obvious answers that override all of that man-made formulation of what is going on in the big picture; and no one can ever represent or comprehend God Himself; never going to happen!
I find it very insightful or actually revelatory by this man we all know was a remarkably brilliant person who I think even though his head was immersed in the world of science and theories he had a keen insight into God’s presence and reality like few people can achieve with our limiting cognitive faculties; but I see his respect and love of God was present and genuine; therefore we can say God will judge accordingly, I know for myself from historical fact Einstein was a good and respectful soul in this world, so I do wish him well.
Einstein on Self and the Mystical
“A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. The true value of a human being is determined by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive.”
-Albert Einstein, 1954
“The most beautiful and most profound experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their primitive forms – this knowledge, this feeling is at the centre of true religiousness.”
-Albert Einstein – “The Merging of Spirit and Science”
This man the father of physics had said a few great one liners but two that stand out are these. He referred to God as the “Old One.” He speaking to other physicists was known to have said during a discussion about the Big Bang Theory in which one scientist said that with enough “random events” occurring in this pre-millisecond before it happened eureka the right combination occurred; Einstein just plainly said; “God doesn’t play dice.”
Here I was doing a bit of grappling with this subject recently when I put it all this way!
The precise order and all things seeking or even falling into balance Is all so well defined as to their intrinsic properties it couldn’t be infinitesimally possible for all of this to come out of randomness, and physicists agree on the four uniform integral component laws of physics and there could be a 5th according to some, which some call the “absolute factor” and though this is that which we humans are incapable of fully comprehending, this IT factor ties everything together in a perfect package; and that absolute can only be and is God the all-encompassing and knowing as I have read often enough in Scripture plainly pointing out when God spoke directly to a person, He the Great Old One saying, “I AM that I AM sent you;” to Moses! The Book of Genesis does say “Let us make them in our image;” so we only get to the point we do because God intended for us to be likened unto Him giving the capacity of creativity and reason to expand our intellect and knowledge just like the expanding universe is heading to some completion or endpoint that we are encouraged by and by our growth or completion we’re becoming more like Him our Creator on a spiritual level; becoming more unified.
The more we understand about Nature or overall existence the more we can see it’s obviously a perfect amazing complex structure of Design and very Creative into its deepest depths! Along with great analysis by some scientists going beyond anything that appears to be randomness within the system of quantum mechanics there is instead an unknown physical law that somehow, even though to us incomprehensible, obviously in some way unifies all classical mechanics with quantum mechanics. This may point to and reveal how Einstein’s “Old One” thought as God the Creator; when He created the Universe! Because it all does apparently fit together beautifully and to me that is just too much of everything to have just fallen into place from chaos or total imbalance becoming total balance; without a planned order to things!
But as it all appears to definitely be based on systems and each as part of other systems all interconnecting while continuing to increase to higher levels of complexity. While even each system has its own operating laws, “designed to meet a goal or actual purpose why it was created.” Like I often say we individual humans have a goal to reach while alive in this limited form that can be achieved in a shorter or longer life span no problem; but then additionally we have an integral part to play in other systems or we can say lives too; affecting outcomes or positive decisions is the aim, not sin!
We’re dealing with Nothing more than the continuous unknown position or order of things as we are caught in our limiting sense of time passing, and lacking Absolute understanding; thereby being outside of by our severely limited infeasible capability to know all things, this resulting unknown “order” is therefore being unpredictable to humans, but in nature, all of creation; random does not exist! Its how we have to see things, being as we are and where we are for now!
Also the trickery and deception going on in the world by mankind is absolutely unprecedented now in this digital age wrapped up in a world with so much greed; and for example these social media being a plan or experiment in social engineering is clearly what’s going on. Even on this platform the games and manipulation is constant, while also most people here are in it for just personal gain and even fame! Look around how people plaster themselves all over it or push one thing or another for likes and clicks to make a BUCK or have their ego caressed and feel adulated or even worshiped.
To me, there can be no doubt that “We Little People” are part of the “Big Plan!” So that puts us in a position of utter “humility and need for guidance!”
God bless you!
Happy Thanksgiving! And YES; I’m with you on being totally “very glad that I am part of creation. Someone thought of me, then made me!!!”

CNN Disinformation Ruse About Wisconsin Parade Massacre Blows Up In Their Face
By

Almost immediately the mainstream media downplayed and has tried to deep six massacre that occurred during a Christmas parade in Wisconsin. Multiple media outlets claimed that the suspect did not intentionally plow into the crowd but was fleeing the scene of another crime.

5 dead, more than 40 injured after SUV slams into Wisconsin Christmas parade
A Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, turned into a scene of deadly horror when a red SUV plowed into a crowd on the city’s Main Street late Sunday.
None of that was true, police reported that allegedly Darrel Brooks, 39, from Wisconsin did intentionally plow into a crowd of people attending the Christmas parade. The disinformation scheme attempted by CNN and the media has blown up in their face.
Disclose.tv
@disclosetv
JUST IN – Darrell Brooks intentionally drove his vehicle into the Christmas parade in #Waukesha and is charged with 5 counts of intentional homicide, according to the police.
So far five people have died and more than 40 people were injured after an SUV drove into the crowd attending a Christmas parade.
New details documenting Brooks history and why he was free on the street highlight why the media is quickly trying to deep six the story.
Another detail the media doesn’t want you to know is that a Soros funded DA who “reformed” the cash bail was responsible for Brooks being out on the street.
Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisolm is now conducting damage control after the independent media uncovered Chisolm is responsible for the lax bail system.
On November 5, 2021 the Milwaukee County DA’s office filed Second Degree Recklessly endangering Safety, Felony Bail Jumping, Battery, Obstructing an Officer and Disorderly Conduct against Brooks. The defendant posted $1,000 cash bail and was released from custody.
Now, Chisolm claims the bail “recommendation in this case was inappropriately low” and he will be conducting an investigation.
A person charged with bail jumping was allowed to post just $1,000 bail?
It’s no wonder the mainstream media is trying to squash the story it ruins their defund the police and BLM narrative.
Any Law Enforcement personnel involved in this and any other such operations are NAZIS; do you get that now? They do not support Law and Order and Preserving and Protecting the Safety of the Majority of Citizenry but do support this Fascism! While actual terrorists, cartel killers and rapists are flowing into America unabated and even given free tax payer money to spend as they like this is going on against Free American Law Abiding harmless citizens watching out for their own families and doing what God ordains any parent to do which is protect your children from any harm! This while the economy is being run into the ground intentionally to bring on Anarchy and then Social Security for elderly will be shut down! People will freeze and starve to death. Basically a New Venezuela or perhaps a North Korea!
These school officials and teachers are covens of witches and communist supporters all working in lockstep with Satan! Do you hear me; SATAN! This is it folks your nation is under full blown attack by all the worst enemies on planet earth and from the supernatural world looking to devour souls starting with the children!
All those responsible for this action; if anyone is still left that cares enough in our government power structure and military, should all be rounded up and sent to GITMO for Military Tribunals for blatant terrorism and acts of war upon the American People!
This is no time to be looking the other way or running away from the actual fire that is roaring; while children are being attacked by demonic agents in schools!
That was what the populace did in Pre-World War II Germany after their drastic defeat in WWI when Hitler came along with the demonic and told the people to keep their eyes on what he directed their attention to, which led to as we know the biggest war in earth’s history and the Holocaust! Wake Up Please, many of you are mostly being had and duped into the worst hellish nightmare in earth’s history speeding full bore at us all like a freight train miles long with no brakes!
“The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” Edmund Burke
“Yes, there is a time when good men and women must stand up for what’s right, even when it involves risk, but that moment comes only after evil has already been well established and is powerfully on the move.
Evil is inherently weak.
The truth is that evil survives by tricking the good into doing its will. Without thousands of basically decent people confused enough to obey, evil would fail quickly.
“Hannah Arendt” summarized evil this way: The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.
These people wouldn’t initiate murders by themselves, but in the name of duty, loyalty, unity, and/or the greater good, they cooperate with evil and give it their strength. But each plays a small part—none of them stretches so far that they’d have to contemplate the final effects of their actions.
In the 20th century, however, the actions of such people led directly to the murders of 260 million people. And they did this precisely by avoiding decisions… by merely obeying.
People think of murder, lying, and robbery as sins, but none of those has nearly the death toll of obedience.
Basically decent men and women obey agents of evil for very mundane reasons. The process often goes like this: 1. Being confused and intimidated, they look for the center of the pack. 2. They try not to make waves. 3. They learn that they can avoid making waves best if they adopt the perspectives of their overlords. So they run the overlords’ slogans through their minds as a default program.
In the end, these people don’t make up their minds. Rather, they take on the minds of their overlords and do their will. And so, the vast majority of evil done on Earth traces back to minds and wills that have been abandoned to fear and laid on the Altar of Obedience.” Hannah Arendt
God
These Low Life domestic terror and Crime sponsors and perpetrators are getting away with all of this mayhem while innocent mothers home schooling their children and speaking with their God Given and First Amendment right in opposition to their children being brainwashed, corrupted, mentally damaged and immorally attacked; these mothers are attacked for no crimes by NAZI THUGS and dragged off!
People do you get it?
We are going to have to take back our nation peaceably with organization of the best people and all Christians when possible but if these despots will not relent and our own Military or National Guard troops will not assist the citizenry then they will be forcing the civil war that is approaching fast!
Let’s pray harder and ask God for HIS forgiveness and mercy for all the wrongs we have allowed while far too many still are, as many not devout Christians and secular materialistic Americans all of which has allowed this once blessed Nation under God to sink into this hellish nightmare of a mess; that God also has truly allowed for good reason; WE DESERVE IT!
But let’s pray to Jesus Christ and our heavenly Father to please help us regain the Liberty and Justice that America always stood for before it became a Corrupted Immoral Hellish Nightmare!
God Almighty in the name of Jesus Christ rose this Nation up and He can tear it down by allowing it to implode! That is apparently the trajectory of America now; do we all want to fight to stop this from happening?
I pray we all have the chance to prove our worthiness to be forgiven and saved from such a defeat! We can’t allow the dead and dying to have died in vain!
We can’t allow the innocent children now to be attacked and ruined like this, so they will fall into Satan’s clutches then brought to hell, as they too grow to be horrible sinners like these adults we see all around us now who are doing this to them!
God bless you!
God bless America the land I love!

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 (ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people (ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all belong?

The Beatles’ “Eleanor Rigby” Lyrics Meaning
by SMF · Published February 18, 2020 · Updated February 19, 2020
“Eleanor Rigby” is a certified Beatles’ classic, indeed somewhat of a cultural phenomenon in and of itself. And as such, certain information should be established from the onset.
First is that for all intents and purpose it is safe to say that the titular character, Eleanor Rigby, was not a real person. This seems to be an idea that many fans of the song have a hard time accepting. But throughout the years, for the most part Paul McCartney, the primary writer of the tune, has contended that Miss Rigby is indeed a fictitious character. Yes, at one point he did acknowledge that his conjuring up this name may have been the subconscious result of being influenced by a particular tombstone in a graveyard he used to hang out in during his youth. But he has also contended that she is a totally-fictitious character, one whose people’s insistence to prove is real has to some degree confounded him.
Indeed at the end of the day, the factual consensus is that he got the first name of the character from an actress (Eleanor Bron) who was associated with the Beatles at the time. And the last name was derived from a liquor store (Rigby & Evens Ltd, Wine & Spirit Shippers) he was familiar with in the UK.
Father McKenzie is not real!
And the same also goes for the second character we are introduced to in this song, Father McKenzie. In fact he was originally named Father McCartney after Macca himself. But to Paul personally, this appellation invoked images of his father. And upon realizing that his dad is nothing like the character portrayed in the song, he decided to rename him.
“Eleanor Rigby” is partially based on Reality
But with those facts being established, this is not to imply that “Eleanor Rigby” does not have any basis in reality. Rather let’s say that the titular character is a composite of a number of different elderly ladies Paul McCartney used to hang out with when he was a child. Indeed he even used to run errands for them. So you can say that his sympathy for the type of person Eleanor is depicted as is real.
Narrative
Now as for the narrative itself, it centers primarily on the Beatles acknowledging “all the lonely people”. More specifically it depicts Eleanor Rigby and Father McKenzie as lonely souls themselves. And the first of the two we are introduced to is Eleanor. Interestingly enough her age is never specified. However, one peculiar characteristic she has is her tendency to ‘pick up the rice in a church where a wedding has been’. And despite this being somewhat of an unorthodox statement, it does effectively relay the fact that she is indeed lonely, perhaps even suffering from some sort of mental issues or poverty as a result.
Father McKenzie is also an interesting case. We see that he is in fact a priest of some sort or a head of a church. However, his congregation is nonexistent. Thus his loneliness is manifest by him being akin to a leader with no followers. Yet despite this, he stays committed to his profession.
Climax of the Story
So the way the story climaxes is with Eleanor Rigby eventually passing away. And sadly enough, “nobody came” to her funeral. But furthermore it is Father McKenzie who actually buries her. And so the story ends, with the Beatles apparently lamenting for “all the lonely people” throughout.
Now it’s debatable that they are trying to relay certain messages, lessons if you will, via this tale. For instance, it has been speculated by some fans that the case is presented as ideally Eleanor and Father McKenzie would have met when she was still alive, became friends and thus served as the remedy to each other’s loneliness. There is also a peculiar, ambiguous line at the end of the third verse, after Rigby is buried, which reads “no one is saved”.
Now at the time this song was dropped, the Beatles, particularly John Lennon, was going through an anti-Christian phase, so to speak. So it is honestly quite-feasible that since the church is one of the settings of this song, as well as a priest being one of its central characters, that the band is actually taking a jab at the organized religion. And if so what they would basically be pointing to is the idea of Christianity failing some of its adherents in the most-fundamental way.
Conclusion
Verily, if a listener wants to look for additional meaning in this song by examining the rich history of the Beatles, combined with the symbolic nature of some of its lyrics, there is definitely enough there to lend to varying interpretations. But by and large, the narrative featured within “Eleanor Rigby” is straightforward and easy-to-follow. That is to say that most people who appreciate the tune lyrically do so because of the parts of the song that are simple to understand. And in that regard, it is fundamentally a sad song. It is a sorrowful song centered on an old lady who lives with no one to care for her and dies with no one to bury her.
In other words it’s the type of track to invoke sympathy for those who may actually be living under such circumstances, i.e. a humanitarian tune. And at the end of the day, “Eleanor Rigby” is one of the reasons why many people feel that the Beatles were musical geniuses. They were pop artists who were able to write and recite a hit song about such thought-provoking and heart-wrenching subject matter as care for the elderly and sympathy for the lonely.
Facts about “Eleanor Rigby”
The credited writers of this song are Paul McCartney and an entity known as Lennon-McCartney. The latter would be a combination of Paul McCartney and his Beatles’ bandmate, John Lennon (1940-1980). Furthermore it is noted for being the first song which Mr. McCartney had written which was not centered on the theme of love.
The musical score of this song was composed by another Beatle, George Harrison (1943-2001). None of the Beatles themselves actually played instruments on this track. And in that regard, “Eleanor Rigby” is said to be one-of-a-kind. In this case what they did do was employ session musicians consisting of two violists, two cellists and four violinists. And
due to the complexity of the instrumental, the Beatles never played this tune live.
The producer of “Eleanor Rigby” was the Beatles co-worker on most of their hits, Sir George Martin (1926-2016).
This track originally came out on 5 August 1966 as part of the Beatles’ album entitled “Revolver”.
“Eleanor Rigby” was quite-successful. It topped the UK Singles Chart and performed likewise in Canada and New Zealand. In fact it is noted for being the top-selling song in the UK for 1966.
Moreover it peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100. Apparently it was not promoted as heavily in the United States as it was in the UK due to the religious references in the song.
“Eleanor Rigby” also earned Paul McCartney in particular a Grammy Award. This was in 1966, and it was awarded in the category of “Best Contemporary (R&R) Solo Vocal Performance – Male or Female”.
Moreover as of 2011, Rolling Stone has ranked this track at number 138 on its list of the “500 Greatest Songs of All Time”.
Popular Covers of “Eleanor Rigby”
A number of prominent artists have covered “Eleanor Rigby”, especially during its heyday. Amongst them are:
Ray Charles (1968)
Aretha Franklin (1969)
John Denver (1970)
Tony Bennett (1971)
José Feliciano (1992)
Pearl Jam (2005)
Paul McCartney also did his own remix of this song and featured it on his 1984 solo album, “Give My Regards to Broad Street”.
The Eleanor Rigby Fascination
Despite Paul McCartney acknowledging, as aforementioned, that Eleanor Rigby is not a real person, fans of the tune have still been obsessed with tracking down a real person by this name who fits the character described in the song. Indeed sometimes their efforts are borderline comedic. For instance, the aforementioned headstone in Liverpool, England (i.e. the Beatles’ hometown) which cites an “Eleanor Rigby” has accordingly become somewhat of a tourist attraction. Said headstone is even depicted on the music video to the 1995 Beatles’ track “Free as a Bird”. Moreover a document from 1911, which Paul McCartney at one time personally handled, which references a Eleanor Rigby (more specifically “E. Rigby”) was auctioned off for a whopping £115,000 pounds (approximately $250,000) in 2008.
Interesting to note is that there is also a real Eleanor Rigby statue located in the English city of Liverpool. It was erected in the aforementioned city in 1982. And interestingly, it is directly based on the character from the song.
Paul McCartney wrote most of this song. He got the name “Eleanor” from the actress Eleanor Bron, who appeared in the 1965 Beatles film Help!. “Rigby” came to him when he was in Bristol, England, and spotted a store: Rigby and Evens Ltd Wine and Spirit Shippers. He liked the name “Eleanor Rigby” because it sounded natural and matched the rhythm he wrote.
McCartney explained at the time that his songs came mostly from his imagination. Regarding this song, he said, “It just came. When I started doing the melody I developed the lyric. It all came from the first line. I wonder if there are girls called Eleanor Rigby?”
McCartney wasn’t sure what the song was going to be about until he came up with the line “picks up the rice in a church where a wedding has been.” That’s when he came up with the story of an old, lonely woman. The lyrics “wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door” are a reference to the cold-cream she wears in an effort to look younger.
The song tells the story of two lonely people. First, we meet a churchgoing woman named Eleanor Rigby, who is seen cleaning up rice after a wedding. The second verse introduces the pastor, Father McKenzie, whose sermons “no one will hear.” This could indicate that nobody in coming to his church, or that his sermons aren’t getting through to the congregation on a spiritual level. In the third verse, Eleanor dies in the church and Father McKenzie buries her.
“Father Mackenzie” was originally “Father McCartney.” Paul decided he didn’t want to freak out his dad and picked a name out of the phone book instead.
After Eleanor Rigby is buried, we learn that “no one was saved,” indicating that her soul did not elevate to heaven as promised by the church. This could be seen as a swipe at Christianity and the concept of being saved by Jesus. The song was released in August 1966 just weeks after the furor over John Lennon’s remarks, “Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn’t argue about that; I’m right and I will be proved right. We’re more popular than Jesus now.”
For the most part, the song eluded controversy, possibly because the lilting string section made it easier to handle.
A string section scored by Beatles producer George Martin consisting of four violins, two violas and two cellos were used in recording. Paul may have been inspired by the classic composer Vivaldi.
The Beatles didn’t play any of the instruments on this track. All the music came from the string players, who were hired as session musicians.
Paul McCartney recounted this song’s origin story in a 2018 interview with GQ. He said: “When I was really little I lived on what was called a housing estate, which is like the projects – there were a lot of old ladies and I enjoyed sitting around with these older ladies because they had these great stories, in this case about World War II. One in particular I used to visit and I’d go shopping for her – you know, she couldn’t get out. So I had that figure in my mind of a sort of lonely old lady.
Over the years, I’ve met a couple of others, and maybe their loneliness made me empathize with them. But I thought it was a great character, so I started this song about the lonely old lady who picks up the rice in the church, who never really gets the dreams in her life. Then I added in the priest, the vicar, Father McKenzie. And so, there was just the two characters. It was like writing a short story, and it was basically on these old ladies that I had known as a kid.”
In Observer Music Monthly, November 2008, McCartney said: “These lonely old ladies were something I knew about growing up, and that was what ‘Eleanor Rigby’ was about – the fact that she died and nobody really noticed. I knew this went on.”
There is a gravestone for an Eleanor Rigby in St. Peter’s Churchyard in Woolton, England. Woolton is a suburb of Liverpool and Lennon first met McCartney at a fete at St. Peter’s Church. The gravestone bearing the name Eleanor Rigby shows that she died in October 1939, aged 44.
However Eleanor was not like the lonely people in McCartney’s song, as she was married. Another of the gravestones there has the word “McKenzie” written on it. McCartney has denied that that is the source of the names, though he has agreed that they may have registered subconsciously.
This was originally written as “Miss Daisy Hawkins.” According to Rolling Stone magazine, when McCartney first played the song for his neighbor Donovan Leitch, the words were “Ola Na Tungee, blowing his mind in the dark with a pipe full of clay.”
The lyrics were brainstormed among The Beatles. In later years, Lennon and McCartney gave different accounts of who contributed more of the words to the song.
During recording, microphones were placed very close to the instruments to create an unusual, vaguely distorted sound.
Ray Charles reached #35 US and #36 UK with his version in 1968; Aretha Franklin took it to #17 US in 1969. A year later, an instrumental by the group El Chicano went to #115. The song reached the chart again in 2008 when David Cook of American Idol fame took it to #92.
Because of the string section, this was difficult to play live, which The Beatles never did. On his 2002 Back In The US tour, Paul McCartney played this without the strings. Keyboards were used to compensate.
This song was not written in a normal chord, it is in the dorian mode – the scale you get when you play one octave up from the second note of a major scale. This is usually found in old songs such as “Scarborough Fair.”
Vanilla Fudge covered this in a slowed-down, emotional style, something they did with many songs, including hits by ‘N Sync and The Backstreet Boys. Their version of “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” was a #6 US hit in 1968. Fudge drummer Carmine Appice told Songfacts: “Most of the songs we did, we tried to take out of the realm they were in and try to put them where they were supposed to be in our eyes. ‘Eleanor Rigby’ was always a great song by The Beatles. It was done with the orchestra, but the way we did it, we put it into an eerie graveyard setting and made it spooky, the way the lyrics read. Songs like ‘Ticket To Ride,’ that’s a hurtin’ song, so we slowed it down so it wouldn’t be so happy. We would look at lyrics and the lyrics would dictate if it was feasible to do something with it or not.”
In 1966, this song took home the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Pop Vocal Performance, Male. It was awarded to Paul McCartney.
In August 1966, the long-defunct British music magazine Disc And Music Echo asked Kinks frontman Ray Davies to review the then newly released Revolver album. This is how he reacted to this song: “I bought a Haydn LP the other day and this sounds just like it. It’s all sort of quartet stuff and it sounds like they’re out to please music teachers in primary schools. I can imagine John saying: ‘I’m going to write this for my old schoolmistress’. Still it’s very commercial.”
The chorus of this song was sampled as part of Sinead O’Connor’s 1994 song “Famine,” which is based on the story of the potato famine in Ireland.
In 2008 a document came to light that showed that McCartney may have had an alternative source for the Eleanor Rigby name. In the early 1990s a lady named Annie Mawson had a job teaching music to children with learning difficulties. Annie managed to teach a severely autistic boy to play “Yellow Submarine” on the piano, which won him a Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award. She wrote to the former Beatle telling him what joy he’d brought. Months later, Annie received a brown envelope bearing a “Paul McCartney World Tour” stamp. Inside was enclosed a page from an accounts log kept by the Corporation of Liverpool, which records the wages paid in 1911 to a scullery maid working for the Liverpool City Hospital, who signed her name “E. Rigby.” There was no accompanying letter of explanation. Annie said in an interview that when she saw the name Rigby, “I realized why I’d been sent it. I feel that when you’re holding it you’re holding a bit of history.”
When the slip went up for auction later that year, McCartney told the Associated Press: “Eleanor Rigby is a totally fictitious character that I made up. If someone wants to spend money buying a document to prove a fictitious character exists, that’s fine with me.”
This was released simultaneously on August 5, 1966 on both the album Revolver and as a double A-side with “Yellow Submarine.”
The thrash band Realm covered this song on their 1988 album Endless War. It is a speed metal version of the song that got them signed to Roadrunner Records.
McCartney told Q magazine June 2010 that after recording the song, he felt he could have done better. He recalled: “I remember not liking the vocal on Eleanor Rigby, thinking, I hadn’t nailed. I listen to it now and it’s… very good. It’s a bit annoying when you do Eleanor Rigby and you’re not happy with it.”
Former US President Bill Clinton has stated that this is his favorite Beatles song.
Richie Havens covered this on his 1966 debut album, Mixed Bag, and again on his 1987 Sings Beatles and Dylan album.
God gave so much by His expression of love when he created us and all of this the seen and the unseen; then even gave Himself as the Redeemer to bridge the chasm between imperfection and corruption unto Holiness and Eternal Perfection in God’s glory for those of faith through Jesus Christ the Savior and Good Shepherd! During the Holidays of Thanksgiving and Christmas as well throughout the year we must do our best to remember these facts and truth that tells us so clearly how it is better to give than to receive!
God bless you.
Paul’s Farewell to the Ephesians
“34You yourselves know that these hands of mine have ministered to my own needs and those of my companions. 35In everything, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus Himself: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” 36When Paul had said this, he knelt down with all of them and prayed.” Acts 20:35
“John 3:16 is one of the most well-known verses of all time. It says, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.”
“In the very presence of Jesus, God demonstrates that He is love—and love gives. If we truly want to be like Jesus, we’ll give.” pushpay.com

“When you defend My Word, you will be deemed to be cruel, unkind and lacking in sympathy to those who do not believe in God”
Yes it has begun as many already are serving the beast system and false god the antichrist to come upon the world stage in the short term as we are in the End Time now! Many profess inclusivity of all creeds, social orders, gender identity sexual preferences, CRT, Political Correctness, universal income or other communist agendas and all of the LGBTQ militant mindsets which are all man-made constructs based on lies and hypocrisy having nothing to do with God Almighty and His Plan for Humanity the Truth of which has been revealed by what Jesus Christ imparted to us through His complete sacrifice of Himself as the Lamb of God who came to take away all of our sins in order to cleanse our immortal souls before God to make us worthy to be in the presence of God the Father and His Absolute perfection and holiness; making us worthy and capable of being redeemed to everlasting eternal life and happiness as children of God in heaven.
Take heed and open your eyes and minds to what is going on in this out of control evil infested world which is ruled by the unholy one Satan! Look at all of this deception, governments, media, entertainment industries all pushing clever or decadent lies and see how little time you have left taking all of this mayhem as your warning to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior who does love you beyond comprehension and wants nothing to go wrong in your personal salvation which is near at hand! So you only need to accept Him now into your heart giving all of your heart to Him alone in order to be saved from eternal damnation, where so many are going but don’t you be one of them; you can make it to heaven you only need to have faith in Jesus Christ and accept His gift of love to you but no wishy-washy half-truth or pretending that you accept His gift while you also try to satisfy the world living in the Ways of this Fallen World as your primary focus or false god; that is a dead-end no matter how much anyone dreams of it not being by some man-made falsehood! We and this world all must die forever separated from God and that is because Satan contaminated it with Death in the Garden of Eden!
There is no other answer believe me in this one thing, but most important please hurry and turn to Jesus Christ; I’m only a foot soldier and screaming out to anyone listening to not be fooled! Jesus Christ is going to save you from all harm and death just pray to Him to come into your heart now; He hears you and the Father in heaven will send you the Comforter the Holy Spirit to guide you with Jesus leading you with His right hand!
God Bless You!

My dearly beloved daughter, how I weep with sadness when I see the terrible division which looms within My Church on Earth.The bitterness of My Agony is eased though, by those who truly love Me and who already feel concern for the way in which My Body is being treated.
You must never feel the need to accept any deed, action or words which are against Me.If you feel uncomfortable with what you witness, within my Church, by those who swear that they are in union with Me, when they desecrate My Body,you must follow your heart.I Am with you every second of this great apostasy and for those who will…
