      Here's a clip where he explained how he wrote that song.
      ua-cam.com/video/4lSWpKuu5TA/v-deo.html
      Also really cool is how the makers of that clip introduce him to the Crosby, Stills and Nash cover of the song, which he wasn't aware of before.

      @Marcus Burton: Hello. He said often in interviews that he and George playing around with Johann Sebastian Bachs Bourree but they could just play the very first part of this. And later he took that as an ispiration for Blackbird. :-)

    I was 20 ft. from the stage at the Cow Palace for the entire show in 1976. Paul and his band sat and did an acoustic set. Since this show I wanted to purchase an Ovation guitar and finally did buy an Ovation Custom Legend 12 string. BTW...the show was absolutely iconic.

    One of my fav acoustic Paul McCartney songs. It isn't just the political meaning behind the song, the very melody he wrote reaches my heart like so few songs do. I honestly don't know how musicians write music that moves our emotions, it is such a gift. Paul, we will always consider you a legend!

    • @iBMcFly
      @iBMcFly Місяць тому

      The political meaning is ambiguous, Paul’s explanation makes literally zero sense lol “it came to me in a subway car” 😂😂😂😂😂 the next breath he is talking about how aliens visited him. If you wanna buy the nonsense, go ahead tho. Scrubs lol.

    I believe he is the greatest singer, songwriter. Ever. He was the icing on the Beatles success. There are great singers in the world but very, very doubtful could have written songs that would test time. Noone. George straight has awesome music but alot of early songs were written by one of the best writers in Nashville. McCartney is the greatest ever. Elvis never wrote. I loved 50s, 60s elvis but Paul had the genius to write with ease. That is so rare especially when he wrote half the songs for Beatles and just is amazing. Never will there be another.
