@@davidkeith9015 Lucky you! When I was 11, I won tickets to see The Beatles at the Indiana State Fair. Of course, there were two tickets and my mom went with me. Didn't hear much because of all the screaming! I fell in love with Paul on the Ed Sullivan Show.

I have "take these broken wings and learn to fly" tattooed on my back. I struggled with anxiety and depression, but I over came it and I always thought of myself of the blackbird with broken wings who learned to fly. This song means so much to me and I always tear up when I hear it. ❤
This is one of my favorite Beatles songs. When it was released, I had no idea it was about the civil rights movement. Paul is good at writing songs with several layers of meaning. I would sing it aloud to myself when I suffered great pain. It is truly a music classic, not just a Beatles classic.
The civil rights movement was active in the United States. They were interested in American politics and history but felt the need not to say things bc they were British. "Bird" is British slang for a young girl or woman. An attractive one. They eventually did make public declarations concerning Vietnam. Bc they were from Liverpool, they were exposed to much American black music. Unlike other pop performers of the time, they freely admitted they admired the music and named specific performers. They just said they adapted it with great respect. Paul and John would always suggest to fans that they check out the original recordings. I expect Bob Dylan was a major influence. You make the song timeless by not wedding it to a specific incident. I recall when the album was released. Paul did not talk about it then.
I completely agree with you but to me his brilliance is redefining how the guitar is played on this song. that is really really hard to do. to me it's a testimony to their true brilliance of thinking outside the box and searching for awnsers unknown before looking... thank you Paul
Paul McCartney....one of the great ones of all times. And we are alive at the same time as him. They'll be "discovering" Beatles songs 20, 40, 80 years from now...
Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these sunken eyes and learn to see All your life You were only waiting for this moment to be free Blackbird fly, blackbird fly Into the light of a dark black night Blackbird fly, blackbird fly Into the light of a dark black night Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise You were only waiting for this moment to arise You were only waiting for this moment to arise
It's amazing how The Beatles have so many great songs. How can one band have 3 composers with such great songs? This is something we will never ever come across again.
When they were touring, they were given a week off to write an entire album!! I heard an interview in which Paul said that each and every time that he and John sat down to write, they wrote a song! I loved their songs that each one was different from the others. Most group’s start sounding a like after a while. Not the Beatles! What a bunch of musical geniuses!
For god's sakes, Paul can play guitar, bass, piano, drums and any instrument you could probably think of better than most people. He's a genius! (Altough, I am exaggerating quite a bit there, aging does take a toll on all of us, so I'm sure he's not as sharp as he used to be, but he hasn't lost his brightness at all.)
Thanks for sharing this. So great to hear a fantastic recording with Paul maintaining the original structure. Personally this has to be one of the best songs i've ever heard, musically, lyrically and the melody.. timeless and perfect.
I've just been listening to other versions. It's amazing that good performers don't make "musical sense" out of if the way Paul does. They sound like mush, where Paul's simplicity makes it musically clear.
They're cover versions. Each person brings something slightly different to a song. I'm not a massive fan of the way he does it here, it's all personal preference. One thing is for sure, it's been done by better singers. I'd say many people are perfectly capable of making 'musical sense' out of it, and have.
It's perfection...even down to the lack of squeaky guitar strings...it's just a masterclass...man...what a total legend of a musician...how someone becomes like this I have no idea...I lifetime of devotion perhaps??
Understanding this is Paul's empathy, while in Scotland reading about racial segregation and racism in Little Rock all the way back then... which JUST happened. He wrote this in the hopes people who were oppressed via racism in America might hear this and be inspired to have a little hope. Like Strange Fruit, this isn't just an important and profound song about civil rights, it's beautiful.
I am from Chihuahua, México and I just read about the meaning.of this song in a bookstore in San Antonio, TX. You are right. It's about the civil rights of black people. "All your life you were only waiting.for this moment to be free". Amazing message of hope and motivation for the suppressed.
My favourite Beatle song. So love hearing a Blackbird singing atop my roof in an English street. My children grew up hearing this too.... wonderful, wonderful song. So pleased my daughter, Severine, & niece, Rachel, recorded it for me on You Tube...
I completely agree this song is special. To me his brilliance is redefining how the guitar is played on this song. That is really really hard to do. To me it's a testimony to their true brilliance of thinking outside the box and searching for awnsers unknown before looking... thank you Paul
scrolling thru the comments - proof of timeless classic master = comments in many languages, this man is loved & appreciated world-wide and for 1/2 century
A true musician: creates beautiful music, plays instruments, and sings. I don't know why today there don't appear artists such as Sir Paul McCartney, but anyway, we are fortunate to keep enjoying his true art.
I love the way Myles Kennedy introduces The Beatles' Blackbird as an intro to Alter Bridge's Blackbird (live). Both songs are phenomenal and really fun to play on guitar. Cheers!
Thank you Paul, you have soothed my Covid19 blues this night. Black bird flies into the light of the dark, black night ... all my life I have been waiting for this moment to arise. xox
love how the guitar sounds, paul’s voice, the lyrics and the symbolism’s meaning in the song. i simply love everything. a masterpiece, classic and genius. 😍🤍
Paul McCartney........A true gentleman , a genius and a national treasure or should I say, a worldwide treasure.Rock on Sir Paul.Love the scousers real friendlies .
I love this song! I love The Beatles! Each man I adored especially. 4 days after my 12th birthday, we lost John. Such a painful day. My heart warms when I listen to this song and many others by The Beatles. This song was also on "the white album" in the year of my birth. Love, Love, Love Blackbird! Thanks for sharing!
This is a truly heart warming and soul touching song. It's a shame I had to first hear it under the grimmest of circumstances. I was reading a story about a man who lost both his wife and his newborn child, and the man sung this song to his child before he died.♥

Sospecho que es el hombre más rico del mundo porque semejante talento supera toda suma. Gracias por compartir este material de gran valor..gracias Paul
Es el músico más adinerado del mundo. Eso sí. Pero no es la personalidad ligada a la música con más dinero. Hay dos o tres dueños de disqueras con mayor cantidad de dinero

An older Paul, singing an inspired song that, over time, has become iconic for most of us....how fortunate are we?
how did a bass player ever get so good on the acoustic as well as compose such a great song, paul is a true genius of our time.

Absoluetly yes.
Very very true
Yes agreed but also Ringo and George :)
