Review The Song (68)Print the 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

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,oh
You were only waiting for this moment to arise, oh
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Review about Blackbird

THE TRUTH. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/15/2008

i cant tell you how many times i've listened to this song in the last week. its a good song to cry to. it is just so simple and sweet, and somewhat easy to play on guitar. blackbird will live on for every, as will the beatles. and john lennon isn't dead.. he is just hiding from "all the lonely people" - "Eleanor Rigby" think about it.



...Not really, actually =) | Reviewer: johannes | 10/4/2008

Dan, your theory, or as you call it 'the only interpretation' is flawed in one essential place.
You say that it was about a black woman in liverpool that john knew in his childhood. Apart from the fact that racial discrimination was less frequent in 1940's or 50' europe than it was in america, there is also the problem that john did not write this song.
I've read in some interviews this song is about the civil rights movement, with special emphasis on black women, but it wasn't from a distant childhood memory. Remember this song was written in 1968, a famous year in history for what happened to the civil rights movement.
Anyway, i think we'll both agree that it's a great song!



Actually... | Reviewer: Dan | 9/29/2008

The song is about a black woman living in Liverpool in John Lennon's childhood. Apparently she was the only black person in liverpool at the time, or one of a very few black people anyway, and she was constantly scorned and harassed by bigots. John admired this woman and just wanted her to have the courage to leave the town so she could be free from harassment. There is no other interpretation.



Gorgeous Song | Reviewer: BeatlesLover | 9/3/2008

This song is very beautiful. It really speaks to me, as a singer. I chose this song to audition for solo choir in school and made it! I recommend this song highly. That, and tax man by the Beatles. Oh and if blackbird makes you cry,, also listen to Eleanor Rigby also by the Beatles.



Acoustic magic | Reviewer: Javier | 7/16/2008

One of the finest acoustic songs written,sung, played and recorded ever. As all McCartney or Lennon songs it was signed as Lennon & McCartney, but after 1965 only a few were really written by them as a pair. In fact, Blackbird (1968) was completely written & composed by Paul. As many poetic songs there has been lots of interpretations of this song, as you may have red. It has even been related to a reference to death and resurrection! The only fact is that in its simpleness relies its magik! And it's there to be listened and enjoyed! I would also like to remind you another piece of the beautiful simpleness of the Beatles: "And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you made" This are the short (and maybe the shortest ever) lyrics of "The end" which officially close Abbey Road, a standard album in rock history, and the last ever recorded by them. Regards and keep on rockin'



HOPE | Reviewer: Johnny | 5/23/2008

When I first heard this song... i couldnt pick mysself up off the floor i was crying so much.
or that could have been an Epileptic Seisure but either way i was on the ground. So i watched ATU this weekend with my girls and they just didnt have the appreciation that i did for the movie, i guess i am just awesome!!!!! thanks charlie! :p i love you
the world will soon be a better place



a chance for hope | Reviewer: Juliana | 5/22/2008

This song truly does give me so much hope when i listen to it or even read the words. The world is truly an unperdictable place with not enough peace to keep everyone together. One day i think we'll all be able to look past the brokeness and move ahead into a brighter path.

peace and love.



Blackbird beauty | Reviewer: patchouli | 4/24/2008

The Beatles have got to be pretty much the greatest band ever to exist. I'm a pretty big fan.. not like religiously.. but big. Anybody who reads this, check out the cover session from the Foo Fighters. They doa pretty good job with the song to.. given you like Dave [lead singer of Foo Fighters] Anyway, awesome band, awesome song.



... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/16/2008

this song about fifteen minutes ago made me cry my eyes out

the world will get better

and time is the only thing that stops true happiness

dont become victim to everything else in the world

live your own life and fall in love its the best thing that ever happens

and never leave the person you fall in love with cause it only gets better

best of luck to all of you



HOPE | Reviewer: Sarah-Elizabeth | 4/11/2008

this song is great becuase of its simplicity. and despite what the meaning is or why it was written is an after thought. just like poetry music can bend to the listeners needs. I love this song because it gives me hope that better days are coming even if you are down and battered. singing makes me feel so much better as well. (same goes for Let It Be)
