The phrase "all the lonely people" is sung to pitches spanning more than an octave (A down to G and F# down to E), and this breadth provides a musical sense of that "all."  That there's a second vocal part here (in contrast to the single vocal in the verses) also gives a sense of that multitude.

"Eleanor Rigby"

An-other small thing I noticed when I listened to Revolver yester-day is that the phrase "Picks up the rice" in "Eleanor Rigby" ascends (G A B D), musically representing that "pick[ing] up."
