Heh-my friend loves this song.
Once she started singing it out of nowhere and I had no idea what it was from except I knew it was a Beatles song-now I know... |

But you must understand they were highly political. In fact ultimately responsible for the downfall of the iron curtain. The generations of socio political control of the people by the government were only defeated by the desire to listen to this "rock and roll". Black Bird crossed lines of racial barriers that were in place for decades.

Why can't it just be what is says it is about!? I love the Beaatles but everything doesn't need to be a political statement - You can't ruin this one for me!

I had no idea Blackbird was about a girl; a "black girl" - McCartney said it in an interview...
Still a good song - from White Album. |

OMG! We sang this for DE's All State chorus competition! And guess what: we won!!!! This is such a good song! I love the Beatles!

Now I'd like someone to attempt this and inform me on what to they do next for the concluding of the Blackbird story, also known as the story of the man who casted his life away after first listening to the song Blackbird

At first, you consider them a mere hallucinatio n until you pick one up. After a few brief moments of fidgeting, you discover it's strange slickness and easiness as if you've been playing for at least forty hours, but your amnesia enables you from any memory of the incident. Once again, to your amazement, you discover the amazing ability that you can somehow play the song Blackbird. You're life seems perfectly until the next day, at the supermarket, you notice your wallet's empty.

The moment the song is over, immediately buy a book of Beatle tabs, proceed to your closest guitar salesman, buy the guitar, run home, and sit down for 8 hours of nonstop practice. Take a fifteen minute break, then repeat the process. Break then repeat. Once you have at least five guitars and 40 hours of music training, hit yourself in the head until you can't remember a thing. You wake up the next day and then crawl down the stairs. To your amazement, you've found guitars in your house!
