Blackbird

Original Release date: 22 November 1968

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


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.

Blackbird 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.

Black bird fly, black bird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Black bird fly, black bird 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
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Original concept, music and Lyrics: Sir Paul McCartney ( Beatles)

Original version has annoying 'click track',
few and limited harmony vocals,
and is only 2 minutes long.
Not complaining, just sayin' ...
I and everyone else still love the original.

I just wondered what it might have sounded like if it had been recorded in 2022 ...
My wondering manifested into an actual 2022 recording.

reWork has 'click track' removed ...
Percussion, synthesizer, subtle bass, backing harmony vox,
counterpoint fInger picked guitar added
