Today's Song: Lonely People (1974)
"Lonely People" was written as an optimistic "answer song"
to the Beatles' song "Eleanor Rigby". Dan Peek considered "Eleanor Rigby"
an "overwhelming picture...of the masses of lost humanity,
drowning in grey oblivion", and would recall being "lacerated" on first
hearing the lyrics of its chorus:
All the lonely people: where do they all come from?...where do they all belong?"
