Listened to this song when my dog died. It helped me know that she will never be broken again. Rest In Piece Ella. 2011-2023. Aged 12. Someday I too will fly and find you again.
That might be true but its worth noting that on the live DVDs most (if not all) bands mix it in a way that the crowd is much quieter in the mix than the band
Their singer is everyone else’s best guitar player. Their guitar player is ungodly good and a lead singer in most other bands. Being a listener just feels lucky
Не понимаю, почему так мало лайков до сих пор. Я зашел посмотреть, набрала ли эта запись хоть чуть больше лайков с того времени, остается радоваться что ещё хотя бы в топе.
In Europe & the UK especially they are selling up to 20K venues in London. Cannot get my head around the small theatres mostly played to in the US on the current tour. Guess we have better taste in Europe 🤣
@@RG049 saw them once as a back up band when they first got started and they were damn good. I knew they were bound for greatness! Tremonti and Kennedy ar3e superb musicians and vocalists!
Bob G whats wrong with the vocals? Besides you try dedicating a song to a dear passed-away friend with perfect voice. Aint going to happen. Well not if you have a soul anyway. This song is absolutly perfect and very beutiful.
I dare a band to put a song out that has this type of soul that can resonate through the years. This is truly an amazing piece of work both vocally and instrumentally. Nicely done.
Ya you are absolutely correct my friend...it was voted as the greatest guitar solo but of 21 century...from..2000s....won with more than 70% votes in favour... with slither by velvet revolver and afterlife by avenged sevenfold at second and third places respectively...
If I could retroactively pick one song from one concert by any band to witness in person, it would be this one. It cuts so deep. The heavy transition, Myles crushing the vocals, Mark’s solo (maybe my favorite of all time) and every other detail gives me goosebumps every single time. Absolutely incredible.
I have never heard of Alter Bridge before. Black Bird came up when I was scrolling down looking through the music. I was totally astonished and amazed at the pure emotion that the music combined with the lyrics creates! I stayed up the rest of the night listening to all the songs they have released as a group and individually. Shared songs with everyone I know, so they to can be touched by the musical talent of these artists! Words cannot truly express how grateful I am that they have chosen to share their musical gifts with the world! I hope that they continue to enrich our hearts and minds with their music for years and generations to come!
So glad you found them. Their music is absolutely amazing & uplifting and should be shared with the world. Sadly, they don't get the recognition they deserve in the USA, for some reason they are much bigger in Europe & it pisses me off. Bless you Lorrie!! 🥰🥰♥♥
That solo. Omg that solo. In one interview Tremonti did say he spent alot of time (I think months) to come up with that since he wanted Blackbird to have the most perfect solo for such an important song. I'm glad he did.
My friend passed away, this was his favorite song, we used to listen to it together and sing along.. And it always reminds me of him... Now I'm listening to it knowing that he left this world, it’s never the same anymore. Fly away, blackbird 🖤 may you never be broken again. RIP, Dani. You are for ever in my heart.
Man, i just quoted you on FB while i shared this video. And everytime i talk with someone about this song i will... You just described it perfectly. I fucking love you #NoHomo
Been 15yrs since I lost my brother in arms in Iraq, still feels like yesterday we were talking about all the great things we were going to do when we got home from war. He didn’t make it back with me and I miss him till this very day! Songs like this remind me how special that guy was to this world! RIP Hasse! Love you brother!! 11-29-05 Hooaaahhh!
Proabably one of the very few true vocalists in rock. That's evident when you hear him sing live. Unlike most rock/metal bands that have guitarists who can sing, and so can't sing well on stage, kennedy is a beast on stage!!
+Adam Knight Myles and Mark did a guitar battle later on in England and Myles was playing stuff and Mark had no clue what to do. So that tells you who the better guitarist is. Not to be hating on Mark but Myles may be better than Mark and maybe just as good if not better than the legend himself Joe Satriani.
@@kenwilkinson9 Hes definitely one of the best players nowadays. the hype is completely justified. Especially when he does those clean things like this intro
My best friend passed away. I was listening to a mix and this song came on. Brought a bit of a closure for me. Fly away Robert you may never be broken again. Rest in Peace Dude. You will always be in my heart

I came to this video after watching Paul McCartney play Blackbird live. I thought it was a cover. I’ve never heard this band before, but this song has moved me so much. I’ve been playing the guitar for about 10 years now and lately I’ve been in a rut. Finding this song has literally changed me. I feel so emotional!! These guys are insane!! Time to do some more digging because if this song is anything to go by the rest of their stuff must be astounding!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Absolutely the BEST SONG in my life time and I'm a 61yr. Old American Male that's a Metalcore fan but i love Alter Bridge the GREATEST AMERICAN ROCK BAND if I said it Once I have said it a Million times this is my Greatest song that have heard in my lifetime !!!!!!!!
1:27 That deep breath. THAT says everything about how much this song means to him, and how much his friend meant to him. You can just hear him telling himself "ok man, hold your shit together. We can get through this." He emotes through his vocals instead of through tears. And Mark emotes through his guitar. That's why the song packs such a punch. True human emotion makes the purest art. Highest respect to these artists.
I've got rejected from my crush, and hearing this song, especially the part, "May you never, be broken, again..." really helped me get back on my feet. PS: she's a great girl. It just never meant to be
I love that moment when one of them is playing solo and the other one goes behind him to put each other in spotlight. That's the real friendship and respect in a band.
7:45 no more emotion has ever been expressed while playing guitar. look at his neck veins and the intensity in his face. what an artist.... unreal. I could watch that 8 seconds of video all day long and never get tired of it
Ryan Daly lol. Slash? Haha. Myles can play circles around Slash all day. He was a lead guitarist for 3 bands before Ab. He's professionally trained and won a guitar competition when he was 18. Slash plays the same boring scales each time. Also, Myles was a guitar tutor himself.
my brothers 15th birthday today, he never lived to see his first. this song will long be in my heart to remember him, the reason why i have a custom blackbird tattoo on my back. love it. thank you miles, mark, brian and scott.
It's 2021. No better time to jam Blackbird. I learned how to play the entire song with the exception of Mark's solo of course, because that's almost impossible. Best band of this era. Peace be upon all AB fans.
This is just majestic, easily of the best songs I’ve ever heard. On paper, you’d think Alter Bridge wouldn’t be all they're cracked up to be, but they are the best band of the last ten years if you ask me (although if I give it more serious consideration there may be others worthy of that position) but it doesn’t matter, this gives me goose bumps like no other song of the last decade.
Thrice could also give Alter Bridge a run for its money. Very different style but goddamn they are painfully underrated. Words in the Water is one of my fav songs, also love Hurricane
Them being the best band is a bold statement. But everyone has opinions. This just another one of those. Like I have the opinion that buckethead is the most genius guitarist of all time or that trivium and a7x are the best bands. And I respect your opinion and hope you do too.
My dad was killed in June 2018 in a hit and run accident. My brother couldn’t sleep and unbeknownst to him he was listening to this song around the same time the accident happened. Everytime I think of my dad this song plays through my mind.
I saw this song live last night on Barcelona, and I tell you, I almost imploded right there on the spot, when the soloes of Myles and Mark kicked in. Unforgettable!!
This band is solid, Myles has one of the best vocals ever in Rock and solid guitar player & Mark is a benchmark beast on Guitars as well...this a true Rock band, no ego's, just solid performance in the recording studio and live they are truly solid & amazing...thanks guys!
This song begins with a The Beatles Blackbird cover , and end like it is, a MASTERPIECE, and also the best solo of XXI Century SO FAR ... 2000 until our days in 2021
The studio version of guitar solos more often than not will sound a bit different when played live, not Tremonti's solos though, they just fuckin don't. What a god.
Tom Barnes yeah I love that. I can definitely appreciate a little spontaneity onstage (a jam session is always fun to watch) but hearing the guitarist nail the solo perfect is just so awesome He's phenomenal. My favorite modern guitarist by far
"Blackbird" "Blackbird" The willow it weeps today A breeze from the distance is calling your name Unfurl your black wings and wait Across the horizon it's coming to sweep you away It's coming to sweep you away [Chorus:] Let the wind carry you home Blackbird fly away May you never be broken again The fragile cannot endure The wrecked and the jaded a place so impure The static of this cruel world Cause some birds to fly long before they've seen their day Long before they've seen their day [Chorus:] Let the wind carry you home Blackbird fly away May you never be broken again Beyond the suffering you've known I hope you find your way May you never be broken again Ascend may you find no resistance Know that you made such a difference All you leave behind will live to the end The cycle of suffering goes on But memories of you stay strong Someday I too will fly and find you again [Chorus:] Let the wind carry you home Blackbird fly away May you never be broken again Beyond the suffering you've known I hope you find your way May you never be broken again May you never be broken again

what an under-rated band. This is one of the best guitar solo's in a long time.
I stand corrected, Mile's vocal's are horrible.
Bob G This happens with all live performances. Only the best vocalists can sound the same on stage as they do in the recording booth.
Bob G whats wrong with the vocals?
Besides you try dedicating a song to a dear passed-away friend with perfect voice. Aint going to happen. Well not if you have a soul anyway.
This song is absolutly perfect and very beutiful.
Bob G I'd love to hear what you think are good vocals if you think this is 'horrible'
I meant his live performance's leave alot to be desired.Studio wise he's awesome.
I dare a band to put a song out that has this type of soul that can resonate through the years. This is truly an amazing piece of work both vocally and instrumentally. Nicely done.

Alter Bridge truly doesn’t get enough credit. They’re one of the greatest, if not the greatest rock band of this generation
One of the most Underrated bands ever!!

They are decent, but far from calling them "one of the best of this generation".
I think they totally Rock they definitely got a message to say I like them
@@jzayas5698 Okay and that’s like your opinion man
@@jzayas5698 They aren't just decent. This song Blackbird alone is better than Aerosmith and Bon Jovi cheesy gay songs combined by MYLES.

New listener here as well lets gooo
They are creed without Scott stapp
Alter Bridge is such an underrated band in the rock/metal genre
Yes they are like there's other good music to listen to. AB is gonna have to carry that torch .
Props to Mark Tremonti for sporting that pic of Dimebag on his guitar.
This is absolutely one of the best song ever made!!!!!
That solo. Omg that solo. In one interview Tremonti did say he spent alot of time (I think months) to come up with that since he wanted Blackbird to have the most perfect solo for such an important song. I'm glad he did.
That solo is considered one of the best ever

+John Smith maybe, but not to forget that Myles is also a monster player as well.

A breeze from the distance
Is calling your name
Unfurl your black wings and wait
Across the horizons
It's coming to sweep you away
It's coming to sweep you away
Let the wind carry you home
Blackbird, fly away
May you never be broken again
The fragile can not endure
They're wrecked and jaded
A place so impure
The static of this cruel world
Cause some birds to fly
Long before they've seen their day
Long before they've seen their day
Let the wind carry you home
Blackbird, fly away
May you never be broken again
Beyond the suffering you've known
I hope you find your way
May you never be broken again
Ascend, may you find no resistance
Know that you made such a difference
And all you leave behind
Will live til the end
The cycle of suffering goes on
But the memories of you stay strong
Some day I too will fly
And find you again

Let the wind carry you home

May you never be broken again
Beyond the suffering you've known
I hope you find your way
May you never be broken again

Ryan Daly lol. Slash? Haha. Myles can play circles around Slash all day. He was a lead guitarist for 3 bands before Ab. He's professionally trained and won a guitar competition when he was 18. Slash plays the same boring scales each time. Also, Myles was a guitar tutor himself.
my brothers 15th birthday today, he never lived to see his first. this song will long be in my heart to remember him, the reason why i have a custom blackbird tattoo on my back. love it. thank you miles, mark, brian and scott.
How in the hell have I NEVER heard of these guys! Friggin epic!
most underrated band of the decade! ALTER BRIDGE 👏👊💪
It's 2021. No better time to jam Blackbird. I learned how to play the entire song with the exception of Mark's solo of course, because that's almost impossible. Best band of this era. Peace be upon all AB fans.
Same here. It's time to focus on Mark's solo. Hard for me but I have to try. Peace.
I Swear that solo is easy but amazing
Thanks to my brother for introducing me...❤ adore Alterbridge 🎶 🎵 🖤 🎸 🥁
This is just majestic, easily of the best songs I’ve ever heard. On paper, you’d think Alter Bridge wouldn’t be all they're cracked up to be, but they are the best band of the last ten years if you ask me (although if I give it more serious consideration there may be others worthy of that position) but it doesn’t matter, this gives me goose bumps like no other song of the last decade.
Totally agree, only a few other Alter Bridge songs could possibly outrank Blackbird. It has pure music quality, lyrics, and skill (two guitar soloes!)
Tool
Not necesarily the band as a hole but Brent Smith from Shinedown is a formidable vocalist.
Thrice could also give Alter Bridge a run for its money. Very different style but goddamn they are painfully underrated. Words in the Water is one of my fav songs, also love Hurricane
Them being the best band is a bold statement. But everyone has opinions. This just another one of those. Like I have the opinion that buckethead is the most genius guitarist of all time or that trivium and a7x are the best bands. And I respect your opinion and hope you do too.
My dad was killed in June 2018 in a hit and run accident. My brother couldn’t sleep and unbeknownst to him he was listening to this song around the same time the accident happened. Everytime I think of my dad this song plays through my mind.
Do not mourn forever, everyone will die, cherish their past, and live your present
Blackbird and addicted to pain were my most listen to in Spotify 2022 and most definitely not gonna change in 2023
this is one of those "I was there" moments. true gods of rock!
Dude that's sick! I want to see AB live sooo bad
+Ian Summerfield I had tickets once, but work kept me late, so I had to miss it. I don't work there anymore.
2021. Still a masterpiece. Covid-19 still here but we will push through.
2021
I can listen to this son a million times
Who's watching this in 2023?!?! For the thousandth time like me ?!?!? Alter Bridge and PRS fiddles 🎸 too the FRONT !!!
I saw this song live last night on Barcelona, and I tell you, I almost imploded right there on the spot, when the soloes of Myles and Mark kicked in. Unforgettable!!
Listening to this after my cousin died. This song has really helped me find closure.
I get chills every time I listen to this song. It is perfection in every way.
I will never not stop listening to this song, everyone I play it to, agrees it the perfect song.
Most underrated band on the planet. This is my all-time favorite song by Alter Bridge. ❤❤
I think i could watch that performance all night, what a song.
Best band to come around in 20yrs
Karen Holland 😂😂😂

First time listening to this masterpiece.. amazing
Emotional, powerful.....hauntingly beautiful.
This band is solid, Myles has one of the best vocals ever in Rock and solid guitar player & Mark is a benchmark beast on Guitars as well...this a true Rock band, no ego's, just solid performance in the recording studio and live they are truly solid & amazing...thanks guys!
This Myles/Mark solo gives me chills every damn time and it's even better in person.
They all have such great guitar tones 🎉🎉🎉
"So Beautiful" every time He sings This Song.......Blackbird awesome Myles
This song begins with a The Beatles Blackbird cover , and end like it is, a MASTERPIECE, and also the best solo of XXI Century SO FAR ... 2000 until our days in 2021
The studio version of guitar solos more often than not will sound a bit different when played live, not Tremonti's solos though, they just fuckin don't. What a god.
Tom Barnes yeah I love that. I can definitely appreciate a little spontaneity onstage (a jam session is always fun to watch) but hearing the guitarist nail the solo perfect is just so awesome
He's phenomenal. My favorite modern guitarist by far
Who is watching this masterpiece in 2019?
Me
me too
Filipe Herrera me...madrid
Me, still awesome
Oh yeh
Myles kennedy one of my fav❤❤🤘🤘
Love to hear him untill i get old..
Mark Tremonti could be the most underrated guitar player in history.
Yep 👍
not as underrated as Prince...
The Dimebag photo on his guitar gives him special powers
Not as underrated as Gary Moore
He is the most underrated guitar player in Rock today, and in history. Adam Jones is number two on my underrated list.
"Blackbird"
"Blackbird"
The willow it weeps today
A breeze from the distance is calling your name
Unfurl your black wings and wait
Across the horizon it's coming to sweep you away
It's coming to sweep you away
[Chorus:]
Let the wind carry you home
Blackbird fly away
May you never be broken again
The fragile cannot endure
The wrecked and the jaded a place so impure
The static of this cruel world
Cause some birds to fly long before they've seen their day
Long before they've seen their day
[Chorus:]
Let the wind carry you home
Blackbird fly away
May you never be broken again
Beyond the suffering you've known
I hope you find your way
May you never be broken again
Ascend may you find no resistance
Know that you made such a difference
All you leave behind will live to the end
The cycle of suffering goes on
But memories of you stay strong
Someday I too will fly and find you again
[Chorus:]
Let the wind carry you home
Blackbird fly away
May you never be broken again
Beyond the suffering you've known
I hope you find your way
May you never be broken again
May you never be broken again
Beautiful Lyrics❤❤❤❤
October 21st 2023 back here and listening to this fabulous song again.
Only got into Alter Bridge early 2021.
What a band and Myles reminds me of Axl Rose in his pomp.
Gonna see them in December and be blown away for sure 🎶
