"Blackbird" is a Beatles song from double-disc album The Beatles (also known as The White Album). Blackbird was written by Paul McCartney, who was inspired to write this while in Scotland as a reaction to racial tensions escalating in America in the spring of 1968.

I just heard this song, and i knew that I had to upload it here on Youtube. A beautiful song.

Lyrics:

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 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.

  • Who cares if the song is short?

    It just makes clicking the replay button sweeter :D

  • @Lewirox ? I really don't see why you needed to do that. I'm just talking about Glee's one rendition of blackbird and not the show itself. It's just an opinion so don't act like i'm automatically wrong...in fact i don't even understand why you told me to shut up? I'm just saying: Let's not mention Glee PERIOD and enjoy this song. OK? OK.

  • i love it. This song makes me sooo happy

  • I love this song soo much! It may be short but who gives a fuck in that short time it is a masterpiece that will be remembered forever.

  • @MrMrMrprofessor how bout now not a quarter as good as the beatles glee is a show that takes songs out to the farm and shoots them it butchers the hell out of any song they do on there so unless youve seen it shut the hell up guy

  • @guy112ex

    sorry, but... for you, artists like Beethoven which were born before the Beatles, and which made songs of 40 minutes are for you "old and short songs"?

  • this song played at my cousins funeral today :'( one of her favorite songs. i wish she could still be here to hear it

  • @xXThatotherdudeXx actually they DO have a youtube Beatles mix, its right on the side of this video on my screen

    but i know what u mean.

  • 37 people never made any1 happy.

  • I think it doesn't matter long or short.

    It is important wonderful or not.

    I think this song is wonderful.
