                <itunes:subtitle>Who is Eleanor Rigby? What is the song about? Find out in today&#39;s explanation of Eleanor Rigby, by the Beatles.</itunes:subtitle>
                <itunes:summary>Most people live in cities and have lots of other people around them. Still, many would say that they feel lonely, or alone. This is a song about how people live their lives, often without good friendships or any close relationships. It&#39;s a critique of society and the way we live. 

Now, let&#39;s take a look at the lyrics of the song &#34;Eleanor Rigby&#34; by The Beatles.

LYRICS:

Verse 1:
Ah, look at all the lonely people
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?

Chorus:
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Verse 2:
Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there&#39;s nobody there
What does he care?

Verse 3:
Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved</itunes:summary>

(05:01) And then I watch &#39;em roll away again

CHORUS:
(05:23) I&#39;m sittin&#39; on the dock of the bay
(06:38) Watching the tide roll away
(07:22) I&#39;m just sittin&#39; on the dock of the bay, wasting time

VERSE TWO:
(07:47) I left my home in Georgia
(08:56) Headed for the &#39;Frisco bay
(09:30) &#39;Cause I&#39;ve got nothin&#39; to live for
(10:29) And look like nothin&#39;s gonna come my way

BRIDGE:
(11:16) Look like nothin&#39;s gonna change
(11:36) Everything still remains the same
(11:47) I can&#39;t do what ten people tell me to do
(12:50) So I guess I&#39;ll remain the same

VERSE THREE:
(13:05) Sittin&#39; here resting my bones
(13:42) And this loneliness won&#39;t leave me alone
(14:24) It&#39;s two thousand miles I roamed
(16:00) Just to make this dock my home

INTERPRETATION:
(16:20) &#34;The Dock of the Bay&#34; song meaning

Lyrics Difficulty: ✦✦✧

INTRODUCTION:
(00:22) Introduction to &#34;I Hung My Head&#34;

VERSE ONE:
(02:20) Early one morning with time to kill
(03:01) I borrowed Jeb&#39;s rifle and sat on the hill
(04:21) I saw a lone rider crossing the plain
(04:56) I drew a bead on him to practice my aim
(05:26) My brother&#39;s rifle went off in my hand
(05:59) A shot rang out across the land
(06:24) The horse he kept running, the rider was dead
(06:54) I hung my head, I hung my head

VERSE TWO:
(07:37) I set off running to wake from the dream
(08:18) And my brother&#39;s rifle went into the stream
(08:41) I kept on running into the salt lands
(09:14) And that&#39;s where they found me, my head in my hands
(09:52) The sheriff he asked me, &#34;Why had I run?&#34;
(10:16) Then it came to me just what I had done
(10:48) And all for no reason, just one piece of lead (I hung my head, I hung my head)

VERSE THREE:
(11:34) Here in the courthouse, the whole town is there
(12:28) I see the judge high up in his chair
(13:15) &#34;Explain to the courtroom what went through your mind
(13:52) And we&#39;ll ask the jury what verdict they find&#34;
(14:45) &#34;I said I felt the power of death over life
(15:04) I orphaned his children, I widowed his wife
(15:43) I beg their forgiveness, I wish I was dead (I hung my head, I hung my head)

VERSE FOUR:
(16:40) Early one morning with time to kill
(16:48) I see the gallows up on the hill
(17:35) And out in the distance a trick of the brain
(17:59) I see a lone rider crossing the plain
(18:19) He&#39;s come to fetch me to see what they done
(18:53) We&#39;ll ride together till Kingdom come
(19:31) I pray for God&#39;s mercy, for soon I&#39;ll be dead (I hung my head, I hung my head)

INTERPRETATION:
(20:12) &#34;I Hung My Head&#34; song explanation
(21:18) Is the Sting or the Johnny Cash version better? Vote and leave a comment.

Lyrics Difficulty: ✦✦✧

INTRODUCTION:
(00:22) Introduction to &#34;The Scientist&#34;

VERSE ONE:
(01:55) Come up to meet you, tell you I&#39;m sorry
(02:38) You don&#39;t know how lovely you are
(03:03) I had to find you, tell you I need you
(03:47) Tell you I set you apart
(04:28) Tell me your secrets, ask me your questions
(05:21) Oh let&#39;s go back to the start
(05:48) Running in circles, coming up tails
(07:42) Heads on a science apart

CHORUS:
(08:21) Nobody said it was easy
(08:47) It&#39;s such a shame for us to part
(09:34) No one ever said it would be this hard
(10:04) Oh take me back to the start

VERSE TWO:
(10:28) I was just guessing at numbers and figures
(11:31) Pulling the puzzles apart
(11:56) Questions of science, science and progress
(12:31) Do not speak as loud as my heart
(13:18) Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me 
(14:09) Oh and I rush to the start
(14:32) Running in circles, chasing our tails
(15:21) Coming back as we are

Let&#39;s improve your English as I explain the lyrics and meaning of the song No Surprises by Radiohead.

Lyrics Difficulty: ✦✦✧

INTRODUCTION:
(00:22) Introduction to &#34;No Surprises&#34;

VERSE ONE:
(01:56) A heart that&#39;s full up like a landfill
(03:26) A job that slowly kills you
(04:23) Bruises that won&#39;t heal
(05:31) You look so tired unhappy
(06:00) Bring down the government
(06:39) They don&#39;t, they don&#39;t speak for us
(07:27) I&#39;ll take a quiet life
(07:56) A handshake of carbon monoxide

CHORUS:
(09:10) With no alarms and no surprises
(10:03) Silent, silent

VERSE TWO:
(10:38) This is my final fit
(11:37) My final bellyache

VERSE THREE:
(12:08) Such a pretty house

Let&#39;s learn English with music as I explain the song meaning and lyrics of &#34;Landslide&#34; by Fleetwood Mac.

Lyrics Difficulty: ✦✦✧

EXPLANATION:
(00:22) Introduction to &#34;Landslide&#34;​

VERSE ONE:
(01:11) I took my love, I took it down
(03:09) I climbed a mountain and I turned around
(04:36) And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
(07:50) &#39;Till the landslide brought me down

VERSE TWO:
(09:44) Oh mirror in the sky, what is love?
(11:53) Can the child within my heart rise above?
(13:43) Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
(15:17) Can I handle the seasons of my life?

CHORUS:
(17:06) Well I&#39;ve been afraid of changing
(18:22) Cause I built my life around you
(19:53) But time makes you bolder
(20:35) Even children get older
(21:42) And I&#39;m getting older too

VERSE ONE VARIATION:
(21:55) [Notes on v1 variation]

                <itunes:summary>Hello and welcome to Explained in English, a new podcast for English learners and music lovers. Today, I’m explaining how to use this podcast, with music, to improve your English.

I’m so excited to finally share this podcast with all of you. I’d like to start by introducing myself. My name is Kiah, or Ki, for short. It kind of has a weird spelling, K-I-A-H. I’m from the state of Michigan in the United States, but I live and work in Italy. My job is an English teacher. I’ve been a language teacher for over 10 years now. I started teaching Spanish in the United States, but here I teach English. 

Since I work with students who are learning English, I’m always looking for authentic, real ways for them to improve their English. Music and song lyrics in general are something that everyone seems to like. But, even my advanced students often find learning English with music and songs challenging. Sometimes it’s hard to understand what the singer is singing. Sometimes we lack cultural knowledge or history to understand the song properly, and sometimes we lack the motivation to sit down and look up the unknown words. Sometimes it just feels like a lot of work!

For all of these reasons, my students felt a little bit blocked in using music as a learning tool. So, this project, this podcast, is to fix that problem. This podcast is all about giving you the support that you need to enjoy and feel confident understanding songs, all in English. I go through and explain each line of the song, making the words, phrases, and grammar easy to understand and easy to remember.

Some people have asked me, “Why not just use translations?”, and my answer is: well, that depends on your goal or what you’re hoping to accomplish. For example, if you just want to understand the meaning of a song then I think translations are a great way. However, if you also want to improve your language skills, then you’ll learn and remember more if you learn all in English.

As an intermediate or advanced student, you want to train yourself to think, interpret, and speak in English, using your native language as little as possible. These explanations will help move you in that direction and get you closer to thinking, speaking, and interpreting in English. 

So, because everything is explained in English, this podcast is not intended for beginners. These explanations are really for intermediate to advanced students of English. If you can understand most of what I’m saying now, then you’re in the right place. If you are really struggling to understand, then this podcast is probably not for you yet.

So, how should you use this podcast? To get the most of these explanations follow three simple steps. Step one: 

1. Get familiar with the real song. Even if you know the song already, I still suggest listening to it once before you go to the explanation. However, if the song is new or unknown, you should spend some time getting to know it; becoming familiar with the tune, the singer’s voice. Just getting comfortable with what the song sounds like. You don’t need to understand all the lyrics yet. After you’ve heard the song, you can move to step two. In the second step you...

2. Listen to the explanation audio. You should preferably listen in a place free of distractions, where you can relax and enjoy the explanation. The goal of the explanation is for you to understand the song lyrics. However, you don’t have to understand every word that I say. I use a lot of examples, a lot of extra words to help you comprehend and understand the lyrics. You definitely don’t have to memorize all of the words in the explanation. Just focus on grasping the meaning of the song lyrics. At the end of the explanation you move to step three, the final step, where you...

3. Listen to the song again. This time, you should be able to understand and appreciate the song in a much deeper way. Hopefully, understanding all of the words and the meaning of the song.

Okay! That’s it for this introductory podcast. In the future, I’ll likely record more in-depth information about how to use this podcast. But, for now, I invite you to try one of the explanations. Follow the three basic steps I mentioned before, and you’ll be all set to improve your English with music. 

Thanks again and I’ll see you in the next explanation. Bye bye!

Today, I’m explaining how to use this podcast, with music, to improve your English.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who is Kiah? &lt;/strong&gt;(00:21)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I’m so excited to finally share this podcast with all of you. I’d like to start by introducing myself. My name is Kiah, or Ki, for short. It kind of has a weird spelling, K-I-A-H. I’m from the state of Michigan in the United States, but I live and work in Italy. My job is an English teacher. I’ve been a language teacher for over 10 years now. I started teaching Spanish in the United States, but here I teach English. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Explained in English project &lt;/strong&gt;(00:59)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since I work with students who are learning English, I’m always looking for authentic, real ways for them to improve their English. Music and song lyrics in general are something that everyone seems to like. But, even my advanced students often find learning English with music and songs challenging. Sometimes it’s hard to understand what the singer is singing. Sometimes we lack cultural knowledge or history to understand the song properly, and sometimes we lack the motivation to sit down and look up the unknown words. Sometimes it just feels like a lot of work!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For all of these reasons, my students felt a little bit blocked in using music as a learning tool. So, this project, this podcast, is to fix that problem. This podcast is all about giving you the support that you need to enjoy and feel confident understanding songs, all in English. I go through and explain each line of the song, making the words, phrases, and grammar easy to understand and easy to remember.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why not just use translations? &lt;/strong&gt;(02:24)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some people have asked me, “Why not just use translations?”, and my answer is: well, that depends on your goal or what you’re hoping to accomplish. For example, if you just want to understand the meaning of a song then I think translations are a great way. However, if you also want to improve your language skills, then you’ll learn and remember more if you learn all in English.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As an intermediate or advanced student, you want to train yourself to think, interpret, and speak in English, using your native language as little as possible. These explanations will help move you in that direction and get you closer to thinking, speaking, and interpreting in English. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What level English should I have? &lt;/strong&gt;(03:22)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, because everything is explained in English, this podcast is not intended for beginners. These explanations are really for intermediate to advanced students of English. If you can understand most of what I’m saying now, then you’re in the right place. If you are really struggling to understand, then this podcast is probably not for you yet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to use the podcast &lt;/strong&gt;(03:53)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, how should you use this podcast? To get the most of these explanations follow three simple steps. Step one: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Get familiar with the real song.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even if you know the song already, I still suggest listening to it once before you go to the explanation. However, if the song is new or unknown, you should spend some time getting to know it; becoming familiar with the tune, the singer’s voice. Just getting comfortable with what the song sounds like. You don’t need to understand all the lyrics yet. After you’ve heard the song, you can move to step two. In the second step you...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Listen to the explanation audio&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You should preferably listen in a place free of distractions, where you can relax and enjoy the explanation. The goal of the explanation is for you to understand the song lyrics. However, you don’t have to understand every word that I say. I use a lot of examples, a lot of extra words to help you comprehend and understand the lyrics. You definitely don’t have to memorize all of the words in the explanation. Just focus on grasping the meaning of the song lyrics. At the end of the explanation you move to step three, the final step, where you...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Listen to the song again.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This time, you should be able to understand and appreciate the song in a much deeper way. Hopefully, understanding all of the words and the meaning of the song.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Okay! That’s it for this introductory podcast. In the future, I’ll likely record more in-depth information about how to use this podcast. But, for now, I invite you to try one of the explanations. Follow the three basic steps I mentioned before, and you’ll be all set to improve your English with music. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks again and I’ll see you in the next explanation. Bye bye! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Kiah&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Website:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.explainedinenglish.com/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://explainedinenglish.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;E-mail:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;mailto:info@explainedinenglish.com&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;info@explainedinenglish.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>
