The Reviews about Blackbird (page 3/ 10)
------ performed by The Beatles
C'mon Dan... | Reviewer: Thiago | 12/9/08
In the "Back to U.S DVD", Paul speaks to the audience about the song. He said that in England, sometimes they call girls "birds" and in the 60's there were a lot of problems regarding civil rights... specially in the southern states of the US.. so, he wrote this song with that in mind...
Inspiring, perhaps more than hope | Reviewer: Lucius | 11/30/08
I really thin this is a beautiful song, not only because of the outstanding acoustics but the lyrics as well, and you can argue over what it means as much as you want but all that really matters is how inspiring it is. The song basically means that things are gonna get better, after all the time you've been waiting for. It's not particularly about world peace or anything in particular, it could be about anything like a relation, but it can pertain to any situation, and how its always darkest right before dawn, things are gonna get better. This song inspires Hope above all else.
Don't give up on life.

THE TRUTH. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/15/08
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 | 10/4/08
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 | 9/29/08
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 | 9/3/08
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 | 7/16/08
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 | 5/23/08
When I first heard this song... i couldnt pick mysself up off the floor i was crying so much.

a chance for hope | Reviewer: Juliana | 5/22/08
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.
