    Just a great great song! Lyrically, song structure-wise, instrumentally, epic chorus, epic emotive guitar solo(s), and Myles F’N Kennedy’s killer vocals - tone, breath control and octave range! Killer song by a killer band💪

    Background for Blackbird Lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist Myles Kennedy wrote the lyrics of "Blackbird" for his friend Mark Morse, who died during the composition of the song:
    "Blackbird" was inspired lyrically by a friend of mine named Mark Morse. He sold me my first guitar when I was a kid, and we stayed friends for years and years. He actually passed away right as that song was being completed so it was dedicated to him and his memory. It's really about seeing the suffering he was going through and hoping he would find his solace soon and be free from all of that.

    Bro, you NEED to check out Alter Bridge- Words Darker than their Wings live at the Royal Albert Hall ft the Parallex Orchestra. I know you said you like to checkout studio first, so can you compromise and react to the studio version then the live in the same video please?? Its seriously an absolute must. Thank you!

    This band is amazing and Myles Kennedy is a epic vocalist. I was introduced to him doing vocals for Slash's (Guns N Roses) side project and he was killing it. Within the last month I now have their catalog and its amazingly good listening rock music. You just put it on and chill out till it finishes kind of music.

    AWESOME REACTION!
    LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!
    That smile on your face said it ALL!😊
    I knew that you would love Alter Bridge! I am so happy that you are finally getting to experience this extremely talented (underrated) band! Yes...you can feel every single note...and Myles Kennedy's vocals...PHENOMENAL! I get chills every single time I hear this! Yes...this song is an absolute masterpiece!
    And I agree with everyone letting you know that "Blackbird" live in Amsterdam '08 is a MUST SEE! And yes my friend, Alter Bridge live is EVERYTHING! That Amsterdam show is fuckin incredible! Ok, here are a few AB songs to react to:
    "Find The Real"~Live in Amsterdam 2008
    "Watch Your Words"
    "Buried Alive"
    "Addicted To Pain"
    "Cry Of Achilles"
    "Isolation"
    "All Hope Is Gone"
    "White Knuckles"~Live in Amsterdam 2008
    "In Loving Memory"~Live in Amsterdam 2008
    I can just keep going! Alter Bridge doesn't have a bad song in their extensive catalog. And one simply does not have a favorite AB song...they're all incredible!
    Can't wait for your next AB reaction!
    Thank you so much!
    Stay safe!
    💥💯🖤🆎️🎼🤘

    Please, react to Words Darker Than Their Wings live at Royal Albert Hall... It's the only live song better than the studio version (I'm like you, always the studio version jajaja)... But you need to hear the orchestra in that song...

  • @msunderstood1100
    @msunderstood1100 4 года назад +3

    I love this reaction. Some will find this song very sad and emotional. You seemed to find it more hopeful. Even though this song was written about someone who passed away, you heard something a bit different. That's the beauty of interpretation and how a song can make someone feel and react like you did (especially hearing it for the first time). Most writers will tell you it doesn't really matter what they wrote the song about, but rather how it makes the listener *feel*.
    But, yes, this is definitely a masterpiece!

    @donnamignemi 7 месяцев назад

    Let us know what your wife thinks! The song is actually about a friend of Myles who passed away. But the beauty of music is that you can interpret however it is most pertinent to you. But they do have a song about rising up from the ashes. It's called Fable Of The Silent Son. "Like a Phoenix rising from the dust I've come to lift you up".
