BLACKBIRD versions

“BLACKBIRD” by Paul McCartney inspired many musicians to pay a little tribute to this wonderful composition. Paul told he was inspired by J. S. Bach. Below you can hear also my little instrumental tribute to the great composition of Paul McCartney – and an interesting duo version performed for “The Voice Of Germany”

P.S.: I read, that Paul McCartney meant his BLACKBIRD metaphorical: he wanted to support the civil rights movement, especially the courage of the African Americans in the sixties: “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…”

  1. Very interesting version, Frizz. No blackbirds singing here this morning. We’re all rained out.
