@@Chaotic_evil_duck there’s a bonus edition to ATS? Because initially Blackbirds was a promotional release (I guess you could say) that you could only find it once you had completed their iPhone game that was called “8-bit Rebellion.” [released 26 April 2010]

I shiver and shake the warm air cold I'm alone on my own In every mistake I dig this hole Through my skin and bones It's harder starting over Than never to have changed With Blackbirds following me I'm digging out my grave They close in, swallowing me The pain, it comes in waves I'm getting back what I gave I sweat through the sheet as daylight fades As I waste away It traps me inside mistakes I've made That's the price I pay It's harder starting over Than never to have changed With Blackbirds following me I'm digging out my grave They close in, swallowing me The pain, it comes in waves I'm getting back what I gave I drop to the floor like I did before Stop watching I'm coughing I can't be more What I want and what I need are at constant war Like a well full of poison A rotten core The blood goes thin The fever stings And I shake from the hell that the habits bring Let the sick ones down The bells will ring Put pennies on the eyes Let the dead men sing With Blackbirds following me I'm digging out my grave They close in, swallowing me The pain, it comes in waves I'm getting back what I gave I'm getting back what I gave I'm getting back what I gave

[@derekrose3328]

God damn it I would’ve KILLED for this to have opened Minutes To Midnight. They could’ve dovetailed the opening moments of “Wake” into the end of “Blackbirds,” led into the rest of, “Wake,” and then, “Given Up.” Not only would it have been powerful and worked tonally, but lyrically, “Blackbirds,” is PERFECT in front of, “Given Up.”

[@bradenheeres9941]

It’s on a thousand suns though

[@Black3ight]

@@bradenheeres9941 it was fetured on A Thousand Suns as a bonus song after it was first released as an unlockable prize after completing their 8-bit rebellion game. But the song was one of the 5 songs that was ultimately cut from the original 17 song tracklist of Minutes To Midnight. So i for one really hope they do a 20th anniversary edition for Minutes To Midnight in 2027. It's the album that had the most songs made for it. We have already gotten the complete versions of No Roads Left and Across The Line on spotify with the 15th anniversary edition. So really hope we get the last 3 aswell and more even. Including Blackbirds in the best quality. :)

[@MrJoekun]

I've just done it but in a simpler way thanks to a app called Mp3 cutter. I've basically just had to put the song "Wake" at the end of "Blackbirds" so it's has becomes a one full track (4:36 long). Of course I've made it the very first track of the album just before "Given Up" and it's sounds great.

[@carlosemv95]

Who else discovered this song back in 2010 playing 8-bit rebellion? I did not give the recognition it deserves in that time, I am glad I did it like that, now I can enjoy it as it was my very first time listening to it.

[@GetSmokedScrub]

So a a flock of crows is called "A murder" and legend has it crows carry the souls of who has passed to the land of the dead / after life. Whenever he says "Black birds following me" I take it as death is always following him around ready to close in on. most likely was an expression of depression feeling like death is around every corner, waiting for us while the clock ticks.

[@AliceRabbitson-h4d]

​@@GetSmokedScrub blackbirds are not crows. Two different birds. Just sayin

@AliceRabbitson-h4d Black birds can mean anything that resembles a black bird. To be fair it doesn't mention crows. That's just my interpretation of the song and where my imagination takes me.

[@pupDrako]

I forget exactly what was said I want to say that Mike touched upon this part of the lyrics but that fall line references, an old tradition across multiple cultures, but I think this particular variation that Mike was talking about it was from the American wild west where they would put coins on a dead person’s eyes to essentially help keep the eyelids closed because I guess through some sort of physiological process. Sometimes the body would spasm post-mortem, and the eyelids would end up popping open so the coins were put on their eyelids to prevent that from happening.

Plot twist: Ravens/crows are actually one of the most inteligent, interesting, emotional, cute and adorable animals in the world. While artists like to use raven as a bad omen, the symbol of darkness, it is very far from truth about these birds behaviour. Raven can be one of the best animal-friend to human.
