A short but powerfully symbolic song.

this was the first beatles song to ever catch my attention. the musical is beautiful and the lyrics are sad but well written and they blend well with the string quartet

Beautiful song, and the first rock song to have a string quartet as its only instrumentation (there are no drums even). Of course, it's Paul McCartney wanking, but there was a period of about six years where his wankings were absolutely brilliant. It also shows that Paul actually did have a lot of insight into the sad, lonely souls that inhabit our world but we don't often come into contact with; he wasn't considered the real 'thinker' of the group, which is what makes it more impressive. A beautiful song.

Haunting and sad. The only rock-and-roll song I've ever heard that uses a string quartet. I love it.

it is a very good song at first I didn't get it, but if you listen to the lyrics carfully you will see that inspite of its cheerful toon it is quite sad.

A haunting masterpiece. Many would consider it the best song off of the album (though "And Your Bird Can Sing" was an amazing hard song and "Tomorrow Never Knows" basically introduced the genre of psychedelia). It is the songwriting of Lennon and McCartney at top form.

Quite simply the best song off "Revolver". I've often wondered about the Lonely People but could never write a perfect song about it. How do the quiet, humdrum lives fit into the Plan? The song vanishes as swiftly as it materializes. Well-orchestrated. Paul's best parable.
