- your new version fits quite well!

43 years after they first sung Eleanor Rigby, and still today it has the same incredible magic, the totally different, theme and sound to it. I remember being struck at the time by how different this was from every kind of popular song that had gone before - nearly all were crooners moaning about their girlfriends no longer loving them and oh boo hoo, and they were frankly BORING. Then the Fab Four appeared on the scene and addressed themes that nobody before had the imagination, the insight, or the courage to address, in popular songs, before.

No wonder even after 43 years we can listen to them and be amazed.

I remember one of the Pink Floyd earlier songs, Arnold Lane, which was about a cross dresser who collected clothing from washing lines... We dont seem to have so many songs for or about TVs now though, its nearly all Rapp and violent pieces with hard beats and low on melody. This seems odd as there are more of us than before. This Rapp stuff - they often dont even sing them, just talk or shout. I must be getting old as I dont find this really proper music even, but I guess it just reflects the violence of our post-civilized apocalyptic societies as they crash.
