~ Blackbird
Views: 1170629 |  |  |  |  | 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 t ...More he 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.

Views: 47857 |  |  |  |  | Some of you people out there didnt like my electro-acoustic, so i found an 8 year old acoustic from argos, recorded with an argos microphone, so you better exdpect argos quality. You'll need to turn your volume right up, and even then your probably not go ...More nna hear most of it. If you people prefer it this way, then just say, coz the classical guitar is alot easier to play. Right, well just leave a comment about what you think of it, all is welcome( well, i say all...)
