The Reviews about Blackbird (page 2/ 7)
------ performed by The Beatles

more than simple | Reviewer: Jeremy | 1/24/2008

in answer to Charlie's review. It took me hours of watching Macca's fingers on video to master Blackbird on guitar made harder by the fact he is left handed. Whilst not being a great guitar player myself,-like the clever so and so you appear to be-, I think it's not the fact that it is a simple song, this misses the point. The talent lies in the art of projecting something that touches people. It is something you can't bottle and if you could you would make a fortune, as The Beatles did. It is one thing to copy something and another to come up with somthing as good or better. The Beatles had that knack of finding that feeling for relating to the music which was human and natural. As a foot note to another review I think you will find that Macca had tap shoes on when this was recorded and in fact he is keeping his own time perfectly.

fifteen & in love with the oldies | Reviewer: trina | 12/31/2007

this is my favorite song.
it's just so simple,
and the music is beautiful.

if you want to hear a great rendition of this
i would recomend listening to this:

it's just the guitar,
and he plays it a bit faster.
its wonderful to listen to =]

Charilie!!! | Reviewer: Jeff | 12/27/2007

Dude yeah, I know what you mean, and also Alterbridge got off their asses and wrote a kick ass BlackBird too :P but I can't decide who 'version' is better :P

Thank you. | Reviewer: Graham | 12/9/2007

Agreeing with Alexis, kudos to you, Charlie.

I'm seventeen, but have the musical taste of someone born in 1940 or 50, so I'm often told that I'm not a real Beatles fan just because they broke up twenty years before I was born, but can someone in this day not be a Bach fanatic?

But yeah, thanks for putting that into words.

thank you | Reviewer: alexis | 12/6/2007

thank you so much charlie. i'm awfully tired of reading reviews and having to scroll through pointless arguments about what a song could possibly be about. and i'm so sick of not being a "true fan" because i'm only 20 years old, regardless of the fact that i have so many childhood memories of listening to the beatles with my father. and as someone who gets inspiration from these songs to change her life and create something beautiful or to go out and fight injustices, it's really nice to hear that someone appreciates my love of great music and other youngins like myself who feel the same. so thank you again. now, let's actually review the song rather than argue about pointless things. please.

the beat | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/4/2007

i love the metronome in the background...
the rhythm and the music flow so well together
this is one of those songs that can never be perfectly replicated

I find you all quite facinating | Reviewer: Charlie in Albuquerque, NM | 12/1/2007

-never comment on anything on line and would have skipped over your comments while confirming the lyrics.....
-To the guitar players and those who had this song played to them: understand the beauty of this piece is in its simiplicity, don't congratulate yourself on your ability to play it, this song is as simple as they come, you and millions of others including myself can play and sing it perfectly, whoop a dee dooo!
-To the Beatle fans, especially the young, you are what truly enourages me,I know that PM's brilliant work will always be appreciated and not lost in the coming generations
-To those who make sharp comments, your arrogance is both astounding and nausiating. You really feel a need to "grace" people with your well-thought insights don't ya?, (as apparently I do, how's that for irony)
-Look what we've become a world of anonymous "commenters" who spend their precious 80 years in front of these boxes. Turn it off, get up off of your asses and go write your OWN blackbird!!! that's what Paul would really want, now isn't it?

WOw | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/11/2007

Okay, i agree with the previous post...to correct you all though...

Paul wrote this about african-american ladies in the south, in the sixties....over in england ----> bird means girl....black..well yea..

so yea lol

stop arguing. | Reviewer: lexxi | 11/7/2007

stop arguing about what this song means and enjoy it. everyone has a different take on it as it seems, and that's how you should take it. stop talking about "true Beatles fans". that's complete crap. anyone can love The Beatles. and anyone with an open mind can take in what others say about them and think about it, not just reject it automatically. maybe it really is about blackbirds, or blacks, or something completely different... the point is, it's a beautiful song. take it as it is.

lalalala | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/4/2007

hmm. so im seeing everyone on here argueing about what this song is about. it was INSPIRED by a blackbird but the song was written about the trouble in the southern states. mccartney says this on one of the live preformances.
