Anyone can learn how to play a great song, but the ability to create a great song is a gift from God. Paul is our lifetime's Beethoven or Mozart... At least he was before all the pot rotted his brain and he got puffy looking
Love the white album. Walking down the tracks singing oh darling with pals
Aww this song makes me bleed inside
The strumming technique of this is Amazing!! As a new learner, I found did hard. To just think it up,is superior!It' d have to be the Beatles.!
Can't beat the Beatles!!
fuschiaface
My brother plays and sings this. Such a beautiful song
When I was 8 or 9, I heard my music teacher play this song, I knew it from my parents and I told him I liked that song. He stopped playing, looked at me, and said " you should. It's an important tune to know." Changed me forever.
I sang this is chorus lol:)
Kiss your hand 10 times then say your cruches name then post this on two different songs then look at your hand
This sound puts me in a good sprite and heart blackbird
Good stuff on the White Album!
Just buitiful
I remember singing this song with my dad, who is a hardcore Beatles fan. Hearing this just makes me feel good and safe.

Take these broken wings and learn to fly. So much love so much love.
I guess Love has me hangin on for yesterday to come in.
Oh man, what memories this song stirs in me. I'm dating myself but when The White Album came out, it was something nobody had ever heard before. This cut was always a fav.
This song is way too short it should be longer :D
When I'm old enough I'm so getting a tattoo of tall the Beatles and the name
F**KIN BEATLES!!!!! THEY OWN MY HEART AND SOUL.
Makes me feel so emotional, always. Incredible song.
I sang this song in choir my senior year of high school... Class of 1998, Heidelberg American High School. :)
1st concert at winterland sf 1969 went to see the dead and the airplane($3. 5 0 )
steve stills jammed with the dead then came out by himself and did blackbird,
and then jammed with the airpane...$3 . 5 0 WELL SPENT
i love this song i need it on my i-pod. Im not very familiar with this song like the other beatle songs thats good finally i learned a new one lol..
Truly under appreciated song; one of the reasons for the true power behind the White Album'
Just got a tattoo for this song. :D

One of the moct beautiful songs alltime. I sang to my daughter when she was young too.
I only want to hear this track, this track exactly, I don't want to hear any live versions or alternate versions and I certainly don't want to hear anyone else sing it.
I would love to work on the music genome project, Princess.
Ha. "Great lyrics?" How exactly do you judge the greatness of lyrics, Pandora?

I'm not saying this is a bad song, only that this "track feature" is a little...str a n g e .
:)
these four are what rock and roll are about THANK YOU FOR FORMING A BAND
one of my favorite songs...
bobbyd1970
Vastly underrated song.
I love this song!
Just learned to play this on the guitar last year...now to work on the singing...
"Great lyrics". I'll say.

Also, however much I love Glee and Chris Colfer, the Glee version doesn't TOUCH the original.

Great Song Makes you want to sit out the window and look at the birds and enjoy nature

One of my son's favorite lullabies.
i like this song because they passed it on the muppet show with my two favorite ones singing it floyd and janice
bvincent05
One of my all-time favorite Beatles songs, along with Dear Prudence.
Songs like this make you forget everything that could ever trouble you in this world....if only but a few moments....w o n d e r f u l moments they are.
Thankful for this song.

such a beautiful song. Macca writes another masterpiece! !

My 3-year old daughter requests that I sing her this song before bedtime most every night. Once she hears the first verse, she closes her eyes gently smiles. Mission accomplished each and every time.
it IS my happy place.

Power of simplicity.
i am in love with this song.
