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. ❤
@@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.
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
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.
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.)
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...
It is a song of American (USA) Civil Rights and the culmination of decades of struggle. The "Black bird" is a young Afro-American woman who finally has the rights of Euro-Americans, but as we know it was never quite fulfilled. "Bird" is English slang for "young woman."
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!
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??
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...
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
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
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.
"...into the light of a dark black night". Such an amazing lyric. Eventhough there are so many unknowns, we can bravely go into our future with hope and optimism that what lies ahead will be better ❤
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!
What talent!! Just amazing. Fortunate to be a product of the 60"s and enjoyed him and the rest of the group from the beginning. Where has the time gone??
I love the way he "streches" the strings here. I was never able to do it quite like that until I bought some Martin Marquis "light guage" strings for my Yamaha. It really sounds good!
This song was designed for to teach guitar players how to crawl before they could fly. Once you play it for yourself you can feel it. Also Paul's playing is genius, even if he doesn't hit every note 100% perfectly (maybe that was intentional too). He adds custom vibrato here that's really to be appreciated
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
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. 😍🤍
kelvin lewis hi would love to know what you think of this cover my 17 year old grandson (on guitar) did with his friend ruclips.net/video/dFkaUPxtXIU/видео.html
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
Es el mas rico por dos motivos, que se lo merece y que se lo ha ganado. Y yo me alegro de que sea asi. Ojalá siempre se cumpliesen esos dos requisitos para llegar a lo mas alto. Y que ademas todos pudiesemos disfrutar del resultado de ese talento y ese trabajo.
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.♥
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
He is an unquestionable icon, one of the greatest in music history, but he is now at about 70% of his younger vocal ability. No shame in that, still very good, but his greatness is in the past. You pay now to see the personality, the legend, and enjoy the music for its own sake.
Thank You Paul McCartney. This song really touched my heart back in 1973 in summer camp where I was a broken person who was severely persecuted in Junior High School. I felt like that broken bird needing mending to fly in my life. This song has even today a heartfelt memory to me even after meeting the Lord Jesus Christ in 1979 who saved me and gave me great hope.
one of the greatest acoustic guitar songs. paul is timeless. great song. he is the best. i read that this song is about the civil rights movement and a young black girl dealing with all the un-just prejudices in our society and rising above it. makes me like the song even better. so much respect for him as a musician, husband, father, and person. way to go Paul!
One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

One of the most hauntingly beautiful songs. Thank you, John, Paul, George and Ringo for your amazing music.

Here's in memory of a great teacher. Someone much loved and lost yesterday, Godspeed, Mr. C.
one of the first songs i learned by heart. everyone has their little riff in a guitar shop. for me its always blackbird.
What talent!! Just amazing. Fortunate to be a product of the 60"s and enjoyed him and the rest of the group from the beginning. Where has the time gone??
I love this song. In fact I love every song that The Beatles did together and individually. I'm a huge fan.
Surely the most iconic lullaby ever written. It's genius is its soft beauty, astonishing guitar melody, but with a message as sharp as any other.
Unique - what a great song.
After the fall of the wall in Germany, I later stood in front of the Abbey Road Studios. Only Mc Cartney couldn't stop by.

great performance ... not over performed as many do ... nice and simply complete
Happy Birthday my dear Sir Paul McCartney forever fromArgentina Southamerica thanks for your music 🦋🦋
Wonderful, this is the definitive recording of Sir Paul doing Blackbird!
Black bird,my favorite music of Beatles
That is a great sounding guitar. I guess that's no surprise when it's on the hands of a genius. WTG Paul! 👊😎
I never look for these versions...this was a gem for sure...still stands the test...luv it
Great tune...beautiful, Paul!
This song was designed for to teach guitar players how to crawl before they could fly. Once you play it for yourself you can feel it.
Also Paul's playing is genius, even if he doesn't hit every note 100% perfectly (maybe that was intentional too). He adds custom vibrato here that's really to be appreciated
Purely magical. Thank you sir McCartney.
