The Beatles - Blackbird

This is a video I made from the Beatles song blackbird. I put a bunch of photos of the Beatles together and individually. This is one of my favorite songs.

There is a lot of chat about what the song is about :
This is what it is said to be about or the meaning of, and some other interesting facts.

Paul McCartney wrote this about the civil rights struggle for blacks after reading about race riots in the US.
Only 3 things were recorded: Paul's voice, his acoustic guitar, and a tapping. According to the video The Complete Beatles, the tap was not a foot or metronome - the Master was intentionally scratched. If you listen closely you will notice that is sounds like a scratch on a record. Birds were dubbed in later.
This was one of 5 Beatles songs McCartney performed on his Wings Over America tour in 1976.
Blackbird Singing is the title of a book of poems McCartney wrote.
Brad Mehldau recorded an instrumental jazz version of this in 1997.
In 2002, The Doves covered this on the soundtrack to the TV show Roswell.
At some of McCartney's concerts 2005, he said that one of the first tunes he learned how to play was a riff by Bach, and that modified riff turned into this song.

it looks like your boyfriend is waiting for something.....better give it to him

[KidsWithGuns1992]

That was actually a pretty good rendition of the original song, except I think you need to have a softer more mellow voice for this type of tune.

[suzyq1231]

Good jobs guys!!

[jasonstheory]

I like how the category is Comedy. What's that all about?

[TheOrangeTroll]

I loved the guitar but the singing was horrible

[SourNerdz]

Listen. I am not a mean person. I swear. But maybe you should think about what to do with your life. Some people just aren't cut out for it. I'm one too. I suck horribly. I can't even sing so your already way better than me. I'm just saying as a CONSUMER of music this isn't the kind of music I want to hear. Now the band who originally recorded this song, that's a different story entirely. Keep playing though. Just not broadcasting. Sorry
