I miss the Scottish crows they have been my best friends when I was alone, Julie is a pearl from the bonnie Highlands and everything she touches with her heart becames gold as her,
That moment right at the end when Julie looks to camera is marvellous. Find myself welling up at her joy and the joy she makes me feel too. Close to perfection.
As long as you continue to speak it Neil, it won't be lost. Even if 'modernity' leads to your independence - which I doubt will happen and anyway wouldn't wish for - you will survive as a culture only by remaining bilingual. Long may it remain so. Whilst our inevitable attachments to ethnicity and culture render us 'incorrigibly plural', we must - really MUST - remember that we're all, simultaneously, part of a bigger picture. Loving life. xx
You could have said that just as well without mentioning your PhD. The ways of all indigenous are being revived by grassroots needs and people not the plaything of aristocracy or the entitled. What we need to learn is how to be human beings, not human doings.

I came across Julie Fowlis on a free CD from Uncut Magazine. It was for the white album 40th anniversary tribute with covers of all the songs and this version Of Blackbird sung in gaelic complete blows me away.....its gorgous! Dont understand Gaelic....but simply lovely. TK
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 Black bird 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 the dark black night. Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly Into the light of the 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
This is really helpful. Thanks. There seem to be differences in the pronunciation of some words though. I guess basically Scottish Gaelic adds more "h" to consonants so that Tú is thù and so on. I can't stop singing this song in approximate Gaelic. I like the original song but Scottish Gaelic gives it more power, I can't explain why.
@talanhawke Hi there, just to let you know that they are in fact two different languages. I'm a fluent Scottish Gaelic speaker, but I'm trying to learn Gaeilge at the moment. Scottish Gaelic came from the Old Irish, but then it changed into it's own language, not just a dialect. However, here are some web addresses to help...

Lennon wrote Julia (about his mum) and McCartney wrote Blackbird. They were taught Travis picking by Donovan and the resulting songs are both wonderful.

Well said - she is a joy
Black cockatoos bring me sheer Joy.... they're call is the most prehistoric sound
I totally agree Mark. The moment lasts less than a couple of seconds, yet that smile will remain in my heart forever ... Absolutely enchanting ... :)
She's a fairy, a Scottish fairy!
The best Beatles-cover ever. Magnificent!
BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL VOICE,
Julie Fowlis and the Beatles, that's a combination we love. A beautiful version.
I think this is the best version of Blackbird I have ever heard. I love it
This is such a beautiful rendition. Julie places such life into an already timeless and priceless classic. Thanks for sharing this.
I heard this on the radio today - beautiful
sheer beauty,julie and her version of the song!! xx
Recently completed my phd including aspects of Gaelic/Scots culture and this is a beautiful expression of what we may lose on the way to modernity xxx

Eleven on a scale of ten.
Not a Beatles fan, but who could possibly dislike this? The two that hit 'dislike' were obviously cracked.
素晴らしい!
この動画の最後の、ジュリーの微笑みがまた最高です!

Absolutely beautiful. I'm stuck for words.

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
Black bird 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
bravo
@Gurn42
Nicely put. I like that she bookends this with a similar smile at 2:39-40. She's an engaging performer live and on video,.
I dont speak or understand Gaelic, but still absolutely fabulous. Thanks.
hermoso *0*
ooooooooo!!!!! yay!
@josephonwhidbey Why John? This song was written by Paul, and as he is still around, he has probably heard it.
Very beautifull song! It's so pitiful to me that I can't understan the song!
Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life

Wow, take a chill pill. It's not anything to get that excited about.
Please print lyrics as translated for this rendition. Thx!
Lon-dubh a’ seinn ann an dubh* na h-oidhche,
tog do sgiathan brist’ is èirich suas.
Fad do rè,
bha thu a’ feitheamh airson an tìd’ gu togail rithe.
Lon-dubh a’ seinn ann an dubh na h-oidhche,
tog an sgàil bho d' shùil is seall gu geur.
Fad do rè,
bha thu a’ feitheamh airson an tioc** a bhios tu saor.
Lon-dubh sgèith,
lon-dubh sgèith,
steach dhan t-solas dubh na h-oidhche.

Thanks!
ooo dang it. Sorry... the bottom posted first. The bottom comment is the first part of the song. The top the second... hope you get that!
@honeyxhello I'm trying to track it down, too: any luck? Tapadh leibh!
Paul McCartney actually. But the vast majority of Beatles' songs were credited to Lennon & McCartney regardless of who actually wrote it.
Julia , Blackbird by John Lennon . Google lyrics and youl get them.
Lennon wrote Julia (about his mum) and McCartney wrote Blackbird. They were taught Travis picking by Donovan and the resulting songs are both wonderful.
OMG, which islands are those shown at 0:02 secs?
The Hebrides, of rheumatologist coast of western Scotland. They have some of the most beautiful beaches you will ever see.
Paul McCartney wrote Blackbird.
Well done?
Actually written by Paul McCartney ...
Anybody know where I can find lyrics to this version?
Julia Day google
Hi hafpipe. You can find my Irish language version at pduffy1943, as mentioned by Nemevv, above.
Paddy
I'm sure Paul has it.... becuase he wrote it....

It was Paul McCartney who wrote it...
isn't she beautiful... she and her music
Does anyone else think certain parts sound like a record being played backwards? (in English) No offense meant, I like the song, just saying.........
I hope that John Lennon is hearing this wherever he is..
Bet God borrowed John Lennon's iPod cause this was on it.
Wow! She doesn't sing in English as I heared.
go an a maith ar fad
Yes, I think Paul was the better composer.
Julie isn't trying to recompose the song so your point is void.
wow this is really beautiful :)
Beautiful
