Paul McCartney - Blackbird
Live Glastonbury Music Festival 2004
Lyrics:
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Black bird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
all your life
you were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise,oh
You were only waiting for this moment to arise, oh
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Yeah, about the clapping - in a huge venue like this the speed of sound makes it sound like the audience is clapping out of step - but to their ears they are perfectly in sync with the (delayed) sound....add that same delay from the clapping audience to the on-stage mic and you have quite a difference.

I sang this song to my father on his death bed. That was 9 years ago. He started to Heath very hard and I guess they call that the death rattle. As soon as I started singing he stopped the rattle. He wasn’t talking but was still with me. It gave him comfort and allowed my brother and mom to make it to the hospital. It was the four of us in there like it had always been. He gently passed a few minutes after My mom and brother arrived. It was very peaceful. I didn’t even cry until it set in that he had just passed. He was a great man and was my best friend. Still miss him every day. But I know he’s out there flying free.

It's actually about the sixties US civil rights movement, inspired by black schoolgirls he saw on TV trying to get into school at Little Rock. In sixties Liverpool a "bird" was a girl but I don't suppose he'd ever admit nowadays to anything so obviously un-PC!

I’ve been lucky enough to see Paul sing this song twice. One time he was on a rising platform out in front of the main stage. It was amazing to see him rising up while singing this song. 🎶 Paul was 27 years old when he wrote Blackbird. Which was a social commentary of the 60’s civil rights movement ❤️
