| The Beatles – Blackbird Lyrics | 13 years ago |

Such a beautiful song, and such great comments. One person stated that Sir Paul himself recently said the song was written about troubled girls in South America in the 60's. I'm going to look more on the internet, but if Sir Paul did say that, well, he would be the one to know. To me, part of the beauty of art, including poetry and song, is to explore what it means to you, in your own mind. As a physician with a busy schedule I still long for a day when I can take classes and explore art ddeply. It opens my mind, creating new ways of thinking, new ideas, news ways to express old ideas, realizations and better understanding of myself, and connection and openness to everyone and everything around me. I first heard this song this week, on an episode of Glee. I actually thought it was about death, and the release from human limitation and suffering into an afterlife of peace and freedom. I'm so glad I looked for the lyrics and found this website! I appreciate all your comments and points of view. Isn't it interesting how our different lives and experiences have created so many different interpretations of the same song? I wish that, in our national discourse, we could all appreciate and respect the differences that make each of us unique and special. That's much more interesting and beautiful to me than everyone thinking and acting and being the same. |
