Eleanor Rigby
Bryce Fields
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?
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 come from?
- Paul McCartney and John Lennon
The Iron Photographer Challenge
For Iron Photographer 36, we will have something that could be said to be Revolver-related:
1 - the color white
2 - a writing instrument
3 - title from a Beatles song
The first element, the color white, is a tad misleading. White is actually achromatic and not a color at all. But you know what we mean. White. Any shade of white. White must be a major component of the image, but we don't care what sort of component. Background, an object, a decoration, a scratched surface...up to you.
The second element, a writing instrument, should be fairly self-explanatory. It's an instrument used to create writing. A pen, a pencil, a typewriter...you get the idea. A hammer and chisel would work if you're dealing with gravestones, although that would probably be two instruments.
Finally, we want the title of the photograph to be a Beatles song title. We don't care what title, or what album, or what bootleg tape, or whether it was written by Lennon/McCartney or George Harrison or Ringo, or whether it was written by somebody else and just recorded by the Beatles. A Beatles song title. If you need help with this (and lawdy, who wouldn't?) be glad we live in the era of Wikipedia, which has a handy Beatles discography.
