A music video of the song Blackbird by alterbridge on their latest album, blackbird.

Lyrically, the album touches on many themes. The subject of addiction is broached in the hard-hitting "Buried Alive" and the beautiful, yet melancholy, "Watch Over You." "Having watched people around me suffer through this issue... It is the realization, from my perspective, that you really can't help someone who refuses to help themselves," Myles explains.


Kennedy's lyrics for the title track "Blackbird" were written for a friend of his who had been fighting an illness for some time. "As we were completing the music and arrangement of the song, I had received word that his struggle was coming to an end. Lyrically, this was a very difficult song to write. It was my wish for him to finally find some peace and move on to a better place."

  • I bet that was great. How was Myle's voice? did he hit all the high notes?

  • Wow, powerful. Alter Bridge does nothing less than perfection. The song info is great too, thanks for putting that on there.

    Let the wind carry you home, blackbird fly away.

    May you never be broken again...

  • ok thanks i will

  • Cuz when you listen to bands like skillet and thousand foot krutch you can easily tell that they are christian........Oh I recommend you listen to KJ-52 - "Run for Cover". Trust me that song rocks!!!!

  • Such a great song. Such a great band. But are they true christians or they just claim to be? Cuz so far I can't tell from their lyrics.
