Dude...no. The beatles are awesome, it's kind of depressing to think that someone could mistake a song about civil rights for being a satanic message sent from hell. It's people like you that start stereotypes, like all religious people are racists. Please, for the sake of the world, stop trying to force your bullshit ideas on people that don't want to hear them. (IMO) ;) Ps. This song is sick. if beatle is satanic... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/14/09 ok..i understand everyone is a critic these days but...if you are to say that a beatle is a satanic symbol get the spelling right. a BEETLE is a symbol; that is the same spelling as the insect. the musical group is spelled "The Beatles". Its a play on words. With beat spelled with an 'a' it is a musical term...musical. are you also going to blame The Beatles because of Charlie Manson and his use of Helter Skelter to manipulate people?! No, you would not! It's About | Reviewer: Hampton | 10/4/09 I heard a CD in which Paul spoke before this song played, don't remember where, maybe a live album. He said that back in the 60's the slang term for women was "birds", so this song is about hopes for black women's freedom from a structural system of oppression that is rooted much deeper than slavery. It's a beautiful song about finding hope and courage to "fly on" when there seems to be none--I love it! Blackbird | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/28/09 I don't want to sound like a fag but I have always loved the Beatles since I was born. Im 15 and surprisingly I just found this song. After I repeated it the second time, a few tears came out my eyes. Beautiful music, beautiful lyrics | Reviewer: Edward | 9/26/09 This is such an amazing, gentle, winning song. I even like the interpretation of Glasnost that it relates to Horus. We should note that in Egyptian mythology Horus battled Set, the precursor to Judaism's Satan, so in condemning Horus, Glasnost might be backing the wrong side! Remember this all predates the invention of Judaism's monotheism. Horus (a falcon) was known as the son of Osiris, Egyptian god of life, love and merciful judgment. Horus was injured in his fight with Set, although later healed, his damaged eye becoming the moon. So if anything, Glasnost's interpretation suggests that the song is about injustice: the struggle for the world between good and bad, a central preoccupation of Egyptian, and later, both Hebrew and Christian religions. Paul McCartney always said that the song was about the struggle for civil rights: a concern dear to Christians' hearts. And the two interpretations are utterly reconcilable. The phrase "into the light of the dark black night", in the context of Horus' healing, and of good being resurrected even at its darkest hour, has particular parallels with the Christian Easter story in which an eclipse covered the earth in darkness for hours on Good Friday. Just because a story talks of dark things, does not mean that we can read it as having sinister meaning any more than we can suggest that Jesus' death and resurrection is not ultimately an account of a triumph of good over evil. Glasnost, you've given this song more beauty and depth and helped me in my appreciation. I am always amazed when I hear this song, and will continue to be so. It has such heart. satanic lyrics, wake up | Reviewer: Glanost | 9/24/09 These are just satanic lyrics. It's not about real values but just satanic freedom, the Beatles were not good kids but bad guys, and the beatle is a satanic symbol. When will you understand that the satanic vision of freedom is bringing hell on earth? Poor naive humans... This song is voluntary dark "dead of night", "into the light(lucifer) of the dark black night", "Take these sunken eyes(horus) and learn to see" ( why the hell would a "black guy" learn to see? hmmm? non sens ...or actually satanic sentence! ) "You were only waiting for this moment to arise" ...like the sun, you're the sun, 'Do what thou wilt!'. -to those who might understand- Blackbird | Reviewer: Kelly | 9/21/09 This song is amazing, the first time i heard it i instantly knew that paul was my favourite, the lyrics and the guitar tab to it is amazing. I find it intreging that a song like this can mean so much for the reason that the lyrics remind me of something personal. I give this song a 100000* Expression | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/22/09 I wasn't the biggest Beatles fan but when I found out that my High School's marching show was 4 Beatles songs; Black Bird, Come Together, Elenore Rigby and Let It Be, I fell in love with the music; so expressive! Black Bird is by far my favorite song, reminds me of my grandfather who passed away almost a year ago. My dad's song to me.... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/9/09 It was so long ago that before my dad died, this song was the one he would let me hear ever so often. I love it. And now, every time I hear it, this song makes me cry. I miss my dad because of this song and this song will forever have a place in me. This song will always be heard in my mind everyday. And I will gladly sing this to anyone who asks me how it goes. This song, I will always cherish. Richie | Reviewer: Richie | 7/17/09 im only 15 a few weeks ago i became a huge Beatles fan by hearing come together..then by picking random songs i found this the first two lines of the song had me hooked and made me smile i don't kno what it means or who they were talking about and it doesn't matter i just like it Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9    10
