Paul McCartney wrote a song about this in 1966: Eleanor Rigby
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?
Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon no one will hear. No one comes near
Eleanor Rigby, Died in a church and was buried along with her name, nobody came. Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walked from the grave. No one was saved. All the lonely people. Where do they all come from

My best friend named his son Rigby because of this song. It’s a great one.
And you’re exactly right! You always have such great insight. I appreciate you.
