Colin Campbell investigates the nature of the story that can be extracted from the intriguing words and powerful images contained in this famous Beatles' song. Eleanor Rigby is one of the most well-loved of all Beatles' songs, both because of its haunting melody, and also - memorably - for lyrics that have fascinated and intrigued Beatles' fans all round the world since it was first released in 1966.
