I lost my son in 2017 to suicide and right as we pulled up to the the funeral home to collect his ashes this song came on the radio I never heard it before and it spoke volumes to me and helped me mourn and cope as I was numb and unable up to that point

May all who have been broken never feel the same suffering more than once. It hurts, but remember that all things must come to the end. At the end of winter must come spring, and the thunderstorms will never last forever. Hang in there, my comrades. Let the whispering winds guide you to happiness.

Literally in tears every time I hear this song! Reminds me of the closest ones I’ve lost and the beautiful sound of this song, voice and all! 🤍

This song is absolutely powerful and beautifully dark. Myles Kennedy’s vocals conveys the emotion of this song perfectly. You don’t listen to this song. You feel this song.

The willow it weeps today A breeze from the distance is calling your name Unfurl your black wings and wait Across the horizon it's coming to sweep you away It's coming to sweep you away Let the wind carry you home Blackbird fly away May you never be broken again The fragile cannot endure The wrecked and the jaded a place so impure The static of this cruel world Cause some birds to fly long before they've seen their day Long before they've seen their day Let the wind carry you home Blackbird fly away May you never be broken again Beyond the suffering you've known I hope you find your way May you never be broken again Ascend may you find no resistance Know that you made such a difference All you leave behind will live to the end The cycle of suffering goes on But memories of you stay strong Someday I too will fly and find you again Let the wind carry you home Blackbird fly away May you never be broken again Beyond the suffering you've known I hope you find your way May you never be broken again May you never be broken again

a single song worths way bigger than an entire career we hear these days..........touches my heart at its deepest bottoms......such an emotional masterpiece.................

I love you Dad. I hope you found your way...... RIP

This song is the epitome of power, grace and depth possible with a 4 piece rock band. Possibly the greatest song ever written. Also the strength of playing by Flip and Brian are top shelf here and hold this hold crazy emotional rollercoaster together. Cheers to the rhythm section! They don't get enough credit and they're half of Alter Bridge.

To friends who left far too early. This is for you, brothers.

This was my uncles favorite song. He just passed away and hr ago. This is dedicated to u! The best uncle ever! Roy Thompson RIP

This is a masterpiece. Emotional lyrics with heavy sounds. Brings a tear to my eye everytime I play it.

I don't see how they can give a thumbs down to this song. Such an emotional and powerful song. I get chills everytime I hear it. Reminds me of my mother that died in 2016. I miss you and one day I too shall fly and find you again

A friend recommended I listen to this and I usually don't listen to hard rock. This was beyond words amazing. It wasn't just the lyrics being amazing, which they are, but the actual music made me feel. I've listened to a lot of songs to help me grieve and when it hurts the most I actually feel a pressure in my gut but no song has matched the feeling before like this one. I generally associate hard rock with a lot of energy and grieving as being passive but that just made me realize that aching pressure I feel is the energy. But slower more mellow songs aren't able to release it the way this would. Honestly I've grieved so hard I scream before but the music in this does the screaming for the soul. That's like the best way I can describe it. And at the end the way it winds down reminded me of when I was little and I'd be done crying and my Mom would just hold me. It was slower and deeper and soothing. Dude that was an experience. Not just a song. I am thoroughly and genuinely impressed. Like whoa! I am training to be a recreational therapist and want to do music therapy so I wanted to broaden my tastes. Thank you to the band. This is amazing.

I dedicate this song to my recently deceased older brother: this was his favorite bamd and his favorite song to play on his guitar. Each time I listen to this song i think about him. And the lyrics in the song that go: "the cycle of suffering goes on. But memories of u stay strong. Someday I too will fly and find you again" hit home to me

I miss you sis. It’s been four months since you left the world. Let the wind carry you home, blackbird fly away, may you never be broken again. Beyond the suffering you’ve known, I hope you find your way. May you never be broken again.

Why do i just found out about this song TODAYY????? I LOVE EM SO MUCH!!!! SO GOOD!!!!!!

Not only do the lyrics tell a story and show emotions but the guitar and all the rest of the instruments do too

My dad sent this song to me, it has slipped my mind over the years. But I just lost my best friend to domestic violence on monday and this song was just what I needed... she left behind her 2 year old boy and it was less than a week to her 23rd birthday which is today... Please get help if you're in a scary situation... I wish I could have helped her so she wasn't taken from this world I hope you find your way home Amanda Black(Bird) 💜💜💜💜😭😭😭😭

That's one hell of a singer

Literally one of the greatest songs ever made 😭😭😭

I'm 68 and saw alter bridge for the first time last month, now I'm a big fan, great music

I was in my 20’s when this came out. How have I never heard this song? I thought the heavy metal sound of the 80’s and 90’s left quietly. I had no idea there was such a capstone. 🤯 A perfect encapsulation of the genre before Breaking Benjamin moved the sound into the new era. Beautiful.

From Can to Can’t to Blackbird. Holy shit this drive home on Christmas Eve 2019 has been the best I’ve ever had.

This song helped me cope with the loss of a friend due to suicide

Most best guitar solos ever but received little recognition. amazing

Myles Kennedy has THE voice. mark tremonti is still brilliant. I found alter bridge by accident and have become addicted. I have been going thru some bad shit n this band is getting me thru it

I heard this for the first time yesterday and it brought tears to my eyes. Awesome tune.

I want this played at my funeral

i must have listened to this a hundred times.....still cant get enough. . beautifull

My favourite song ever. It's turn me on for my daily work.

One of the greates songs of all time

This vid popped up in suggestions. I have heard the name alter bridge and I thought I had heard some of their songs on the radio... Sooo.. F'it !! .. clicks on video. J A W Floor!................... 8 minutes later . No way I've heard these guys before. Def not the kind of band you hear and forget about it. What an amazing song.

I have no words to describe how much I love this song. This is an absolute masterpiece and the guitar solo is literally out of the world. Thank you Alter Bridge for such a beautiful composition. Resplendent! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The most beautiful song I've ever heard. It's hard to not cry though, very powerful stuff. Not sure why I never heard this song before... I can't help but think of my mom who died 3 years ago. I miss you my friend, 1 day I too will fly and find you again

10 years later I found these guys, really good

"You can conquer the world, but people will forget. You can change the world, but people will forget. You can save the world, but people will forget. You can destroy the world, but people will forget. You can help people live or die, but the world, the world will never forget. For every step you take in it, you will leave a mark. For every seed you plant, you will leave a mark. For every brick you place, you will leave a mark. For every soul you help, you will leave a mark. For every life you take, you will leave a mark. For every life you save, you will leave a mark." "You might be forgotten by mortals, but never by immortals. For their lives are endless and so are their memories. For the earth is alive. Breathing. Feeling. Growing. It remembers everything and everyone, Including you no matter how big or small you think you are, no matter how big or small people think you are. At the end of the day, the more marks you leave, the more the world will remember. So keep fighting no matter how hard the battles are because you are leaving a mark." ~Anonymous~ I think I can speak for the person who wrote it... "I don't want you to like it I just want you to know it."

I had never heard this song before tonight.. so glad it played

Such emotional lyrics, fantastic solo. Great song.

This may very well be the best song ever written in the last ten years

To me, this masterpiece is right up there with Stairway to Heaven! Luv Watch over you too. Myles......your fab vocals and emotional storytelling performance. Ughhhhh....just sensational

Tremonti and Myles are guitarists that are inspiring me to get better by the day. The guitar solo is just a master piece

Never heard of Alter Bridge before. Fucking love it so far.

That 80s metal voice lives thank you Myles

Legend says, the Blackbird is still flying its way to home... lonely, as the sun is setting..........

It is not a song, it is a sentiment.

This song hits me hard emotionally and I realise how hard it must be to perform while you’ve lost so many friends in the music industry.. stay strong and know we appreciate all the work you do to create such masterpieces..

Helpful to a broken heart

Got a broken 💔. This song helps me

Miles Kennedy is an AMAZING ARTIST!!! GOD BLESS SUCH A TALENT.

I felt that! The emotions conveyed so soft & gentle along side the heavy guitar to me shows great depth & understanding of the harsh reality of being broken. Imo an emotional musical masterpiece. 🎶

found this after my environmental science teacher was humming it in class one day. great song but it’s funny how music will sometimes find you

Absolute masterpiece......

May your soul Rest In Peace Grandpa. I wished he could say few last words before he took his last breathe, i couldn't even tell him that one day i'll make him proud. 💔💔💔

Masterpiece of the history of mankind!

I lost my father a year ago this monthe, he was a biker every time im riding and listen to this song i feel his presence, great song

Who's listening Blackbird in 2018? Right Now and Always I'm..

This Song Deeply Effected me. I Recently Lost my Nephew from a Disease that Plagued his body he Suffered Physically and Emotionally for years. My Son Who is also Afflicted with the same Illness Expressed to me the Words to this song Reflects Exactly how he felt about the Loss of his Cousin. He won’t have to Suffer Anymore he’s Free. How Poignant. Rip Glenn ❤️

This song is dedicated to my best friend who died 2 days ago. Fuck you covid. He was only in his 30s and changed everyone’s life that he touched. I miss you Adam. Rest In Peace

I feel so broken in my life right now! This song is so me!!! Thank you Alter Bridge for this and all of your songs!!! You totally rock!!!!!
