First Time Hearing The Beatles "Blackbird" Reaction| Asia and BJ

[@henriettaskolnick4445]

This song was Paul's way of addressing the civil rights movement of the time. Here's a quote from an article: "I was sitting around with my acoustic guitar and I'd heard about the civil rights troubles that were happening in the '60s in Alabama, Mississippi, Little Rock in particular," he told GQ. "I just thought it would be really good if I could write something that if it ever reached any of the people going through those problems, it might give them a little bit of hope. So, I wrote 'Blackbird.'"

It's a song for the 60's civil rights movement. Referring to the two black women trying to enter College/University in the early 60's! McCartney had a picture taken a few years ago with him and the 2 women that inspired the song! Love to you two! The Beatles were, and are still, the greatest band of all time! Do try 'In My Life,' ' Because' or' She's leaving Home' by them! Thank you!

[@garyr8739]

Actually it was the Little Rock Nine trying to get into Central High School. The Govener, Orval Faubus, had the States National Guard prevent them from entering the school. On September 24, 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower ordered units of the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division - the "Screaming Eagles" - into Little Rock and federalized the Arkansas National Guard to escort them into the school. The nine had escorts to and from classes the rest of the year.

Paul was saying “once you get your chance, you may be disappointed, but I hope you get your chance”. Real talk. But you got it. It’s a bittersweet civil rights song. Paul many times pulls back the curtain and speaks deep truths.

[@siraleric9721]

When the Beatles came to America they refused to play in segregated venues. They abhorred segregation. Paul was a huge fan of Fats Domino. In Brittan a "bird" is a girl or woman. He was trying to say to back people that they would sing, and fly.

A "bird" in Britain is another word for a woman. This was a cheerleading song for the civil rights movement. The beatles were always inspired by singers like Ray Charles, Little Richard, Fats Domino and Chuck Berry, so many of their heroes were black. They refused to play a few shows in the south unless the venues removed the "WHITES ONLY" signs for the floor seats, keeping the rest in the balcony. He was telling them, despite being knocked down, it is still your moment to arise.

[@TheChrisleekay]

Yeah Brits say " Birds" , Yanks say " Chicks" :)

[@markamos1911]

"I had in mind a black woman, rather than a bird. Those were the days of the civil rights movement, which all of us cared passionately about, so this was really a song from me to a black woman, experiencing these problems in the States: 'Let me encourage you to keep trying, to keep your faith, there is hope.' As is often the case with my things, a veiling took place so, rather than say 'Black woman living in Little Rock' and be very specific, she became a bird, became symbolic, so you could apply it to your particular problem." - Paul McCartney

[@ljd8557]

In England a bird is a slang term for a woman. So you're bang on buddy

The Beatles REFUSED to perform before segregated audiences in the US. That was courageous at the time. Many of their early idols were black artists like Little Richard.

I’m a beginner and looked the tab up and was like nope! I’ll try again in a couple years.

There’s basically 4 chords per measure…. It’s extremely difficult

[@69birdboy]

You just have to get used to the octave like shaping then it's pretty straightforward..just takes some practice

[@netzahuacoyotl]

The song uses a classical guitar technique mixed with a folky strum. Play 10ths on the 2nd and 5th strings, moving up and down the fretboard. Strum the open 3rd and 4th strings in between. Start with left hand 1st finger on 5th string, 2nd fret and 4th finger on 2nd string 3rd fret. Pluck with thumb and middle finger then strum the open strings. Then practice moving the shape up the fretboard adjusting the intervals to stay in the scale. You are playing a harmony a 10th (octave plus a third) apart so if B is in the bass, D is on top, if C in the bass, E on top, etc.

[@rhwinner]

@@netzahuacoyotl thanks for that! I play this chord in my practices, I always looked at it as a suspended 5th!

[@JDogg1971]

@Asia and BJ, Thank y'all for sharing! It was deep and Sir Paul McCartney was ahead of his time. Here's what he had to say... I had been doing some [poetry readings] in the last year or so because I've got a poetry book out called Blackbird Singing, and when I would read "Blackbird", I would always try and think of some explanation to tell the people … So, I was doing explanations, and I actually just remembered why I'd written "Blackbird", you know, that I'd been, I was in Scotland playing on my guitar, and I remembered this whole idea of "you were only waiting for this moment to arise" was about, you know, the black people's struggle in the southern states, and I was using the symbolism of a blackbird. It's not really about a blackbird whose wings are broken, you know, it's a bit more symbolic.[5] Much love, Fam!!!

[@lookmil107]

This song Blackbird along with Helter Skelter, Sexy Sadie, Piggies, Rocky Raccoon and others were hand delivered to Paul McCartney in Malibu California during the first week of June 1968. To be recorded on the Beatles upcoming album titled “The Beatles,” but what became known as “The White Album” (released in the U. S. Nov 6, 1968). The guy who delivered the songs is also the guy who wrote the songs. Present at that “song delivery” meeting in Malibu were Terry Melcher (son of Doris Day), Dennis Wilson (drummer for The Beach Boys), Gregg Jacobson (close friend of Melcher and D Wilson), Paul McCartney and the song writer himself Charles Manson. John Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison were at 10050 Cielo Drive in Beverly Hills dropping LSD with several other very well known Hollywood celebrities (Mia Farrow, Jane Fonda…), while McCartney was at the Malibu house, owned by Doris Day, and meeting Manson for the first and only time. The average person simply can not even begin to comprehend how deep and vast all of the lies about Manson and The Manson Family are. If the real truth about Manson is ever told, I hope I don’t die laughing.

in England 'Bird' is slang for a girl and the song was written at the heights of the civil rights movement in the US just as legal discriminations were breaking down, the 'broken wings' had all sorts of meanings - from the restrictions suffered by black people in the US (and other places) to actual physical harm suffered by them. Now the official discrimination was ended they could 'take their broken wings and learn to fly' once more. They also refused to play in concerts with segregated audiences, playing a small part in that movement.
