Eleanor Rigby
Ah look at all the lonely people |
“I have always loved the song 'Eleanor Rigby' but never thought I would take a shot at redoing it. It's a tall order to tackle one of the great classics, I feel. This lyric style has always spoken to me - very character driven and quirky. When it came time to record the song, I had been listening to a lot of Marlena Dietrich and the German burlesque era stuff, so I went to my friend Jonathan Yudkin to record it with me at his house. He plays every single instrument on the track. We slowed it down and put a slinky burlesque or French cafe type vibe.” — Jewel on Howard Stern's Website
