----- ABOUT THE SONG -----
"Blackbird" is a Beatles song from the double-disc album The Beatles (also known as The White Album). Blackbird was written by Paul McCartney, but credited to Lennon--McCartney.
McCartney explained on PBS's Great Performances (Paul McCartney: Chaos and Creation at Abbey Road), aired in 2006, that the guitar accompaniment for "Blackbird" was inspired by J.S. Bach's Bourrée in E minor, a well known lute piece, often played on the classical guitar. As children, he and George Harrison tried to learn Bourrée as a "show off" piece. The Bourrée is distinguished by melody and bass notes played simultaneously on the upper and lower strings. McCartney adapted a segment of the Bourrée (reharmonized into the original's relative major key of G) as the opening of "Blackbird," and carried the musical idea throughout the song.
The first night his future wife Linda Eastman stayed at his home, McCartney played "Blackbird" for the fans camped outside his house.
----- LYRICS -----
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
Black bird 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
Blackbird fly, Blackbird 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
Happy 15th channel anniversary!
I recently rediscovered your channel and was pleasantly surprised to see that you're still going strong. What amazing endurance! I watched your videos a lot as a teen and this video is, I think, the last I saw before I stopped.
All the best to you and may you have fun making videos for many years more!
Aww thank you for your kind message, I appreciate it!
Thanks. :)
No, this isn't our arrangement, it's by the King Singers. It's all in the video description. I however sell audio learning tracks (= the breakdown of the harmony into separate MP3 files + various helpful mixes that make certain parts stand out in the mix). My email is in the video description if you'd like to place an order.
The whistling is like impeccable. Love this.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed this video.
I didn't whisle at a high pitch, it's in fact quite normal. Try it, you'll see.
Damn that whistle skill tho
@ubikspraymusic Yes, they wrote this arrangement, they're credited as they should.
I remember being very young about 8 or so in the car with my Dad on a lovely motorway night. We'd often listen to cabin pressure or blackadder or Milton Jones I think it was (the documentary about moments in a guys life as he's about to die but doesn't). Anyways he shows me this song and this exact version and I fall in love with it immediately. I hummed it for days after but forgot the song name and version. Only last week did I find it again and everytime I listen to it km reminded of those beautiful nights 🌟
the guy from the philiphines really surprised me he has a really clean voice with no noticeable accent. the italian was nice as well and you were amazing as always. Nice whistling as well didn't know you could do it so well
Yes, I think it's fairly obvious when we hear you sing, haha! Thanks for not blasting out the full opera voice in this collab and giving Enrico and I some space, that was really cool. Still down for another project if you're up for it. :)
@Timotehrey Thank for the comment and for supporting my work, much appreciated. Cheers ;-)
This is what I prefer to play along with when I"m working on timing for Blackbird on guitar. Thanks guys.
some of the best voices on youtube, easily.
Thanks for all your comments! Don't forget to click that little "share" button to help us spread the music!
Thanks! Share our video if you wish to show your support. You can also get our single or order a cappella learning tracks for this tune as well (email in the video description). :)
Trudbol... dude, you keep getting better and better. I first found your videos a couple of years ago by accident looking up "When I'm 64", and have been following ever since. I have ONE subscription on UA-cam, and that's you. Keep up the great work! And the more Beatles tunes, the better!
...CrazyGus
I forget every time, Mr. Trudbol, how much I absolutely love your voice. Thank you for blessing us with it, sir.
it's giving wings to my thougths. Thank you your voices are great.
I love the ornament you use in the whistling section! Very cleverly done
@HelenaHachechan Thank you for the kind comment, delighted you enjoyed this video! Hope your friends will too (hint hint)! ;-)
Yes, i bought it from bandcamp, very easy transaction. Thanks for making perfect covers.
The song is now on BandCamp, you'll find the link in the video description below the video. :)
I am a fan Julien, I stumbled across One of your videos once and I’ve been following you ever since. I think you’re extremely talented and I wish you well with your career
Je ne saurais pas dire exactement quoi, mais il y a un quelque chose dans cet enregistrement, une manière de l'interpréter que j'admire et je tiens à le souligner. C'est une magnifique version ! :)
Oh my goodness!! This is absolutely amazing!! Love the uniqueness of all of your voices, especially Julien's tone!!! And the whistling, haha. Absolutely fantastic!!
Yes, it says so in the video description...
This isn't barbershop. And I didn't use any of these programs for this song, I used Audacity for everything. The only editing I applied was some frequency equalization, stereo panning, balancing of the voices and a round of dynamic compression at the end on the mix. I assure you you're mistaking.
@heyallimrich Yes, we sang the King Singers' arrangement.
This is AMAZING
Julien all your music is beautiful, you're such an inspiration to me
Is it just me or does the one guy look like the guy from cloudy with a chance of meatballs?
Isn't Kevin Reeder looking like a pooing peece of shit ?
i can see it
Oh gosh you are right, he looks like that guy cause of his hair and nose.
+William Goalkeeping I see it also.
A Cappella Trudbol I know I’m very late to this but it’s not just him
so true. good advise julien! im a classically trained singer as well.
@enricator it took a long time for me to video tape my part... but it's worth the wait. Thanks for your patience guys! let's do another one!
I swear this is the best cover of blackbird i've heard :)
i really like this one its beautiful...
So wonderful! Merci beaucoup
@peterhollens Woohoo! Thanks Peter! Love your work.
Thanks for the nice comment! And thanks for sharing this video with your friends! :)
wow. this is fantastic. simply beautiful
my favorite
Gave me chills! Love it! Thanks!
What a great sound. Inspired by your wonderful performance I have sent for the King's Singers arrangement to use with my a cappella quartet - just hope we can do it justice with only 4 singers!
+Nigel Morley Thanks! It's a 4-part arrangement + percussion, actually. :)
You can get my audio learning tracks on my website, they will make the learning process a lot easier & fun than the sheet alone: julienneel.com
Absolutely fantastic, guys!!! I can only get this connection thing to music when something has happened, but you got me to cry without anything else!!! You're amazing, and I think that you should keep doing exactly that!!!
@keats27 Sgtsonny and I will be doing another collab as soon as he finds the time in his busy schedule. I'd be happy to do a third project with Danny, but I think he's busy too, unfortunately.
So much beautiful!
Beautiful
wow... you sing this, and we all see you have fun... that's so awesome...
really sounds like black bird!
that is awesome!!
This one's great too, amazing job
This is simply amazing. Great job!
@robertsetz, you're right -- and I can tell from your reply that you were not being snarky. Forgive my defensiveness? I, too, am a connoisseur of detail -- in language [30+ years as an English prof]. What I find myself hopping on is misuse -- "fine tuning," if you will -- of words. Thank you for taking the time to respond! And, since I have rapidly become addicted to "Trudbol," I anticipate that we'll be interacting beneath relevant uploads. I look forward to it.
Basically anything A Capella I do love, or with lots and lots of harmony. even country which I do not like, I can handle some groups like Alabama and such. But I always have to go back to the pure A Capella stuff to bring back my sanity. :)
Thank you! Share our video with your friends!
Wow.. i love the one..
J'ADORE. AHHHHHHHH c'est trop trop bien. merci!
Great Beatles cover all of you!
You can find my albums on Amazon, just search for "julien neel christmas". :)
I really enjoyed this, great job ♡
Thanks, much appreciated! The song is now on iTunes, by the way (link in the video description). ;)
I do believe here soon, I will be buying a few of your songs. Very awesome stuff man.
@trudbol You used the King's Singers arrangement! Awesome, way to go! This must be incredibly hard to pull off, especially when you can't actually hear the other people singing as well as they can. It's easy to forget that you guys are all singing alone. Wonderful job! This may be my favorite video of yours so far. I'd love to see some more King's Singers stuff. Have you considered the song Girl?
Wonderful ! I love it guys - a great tribute to a great song !
This is just one of my favorites! You all do such an amazing job!! Keep doing more :D
Thanks! Our song is available for download! Music for you & support for the artists, everyone wins. :)
Julien, you're one of the best whistlers in show business. :)
@JohnGotti0831 Thank you! ;-)
This is an amateur cross-Atlantic multitrack music project: we never met in person, never practiced, and did this all by email. Try and make a project like this and you'll see how difficult it is.
A Cappella Trudbol that’s astonishing
Thanks! Share our video with your friends! :)
i love this song, keep up the good work guys!!!
wow... awsome
Really enjoyed this! Wonderful! Thanks
This is the best thing ever
Thanks! Do share our video with friends if you liked it, it's a great way to support our work! :)
Haha, thanks! You can support our work by getting our single on iTunes. :)
Lovely!!!
great job! love it! congratulations!
Nice....love it!
@trudbol I hope you didn't think I meant that you should replace these two guys. I was just thinking 5 voices, but if you got them all together, you might have to double up as bass and baritone with all these fine tenors! (and I'm pretty sure tenor is your strongest spot too despite that awesome range). Am I spoiled to be asking for free, high-quality, a cappella arrangements at a moment's notice? =D
That is AWESOME!!!
Sorry it took me so long to come here and gusg over your latest video. I've been sick. So here goes... WOW! I love it! Keep up the great work! :):):)
Thanks! Sure, just provide me with TTBB sheet music and I'll be happy to have a look at it. :)
@Doud92 Haha, merci. N'hésite pas à faire circuler notre vidéo auprès des tes amis ! ;-)
I can't get over this song :)
I must say you guys did amazing! A very good song, a very good acapella cover! I kept thinking you guys had music playing in the background!
The only thing I could recommend to you personally would be to emphasize the letter F a bit more. The word "fly" is coming out as "ly" because that F isn't getting across. You're still fantastic and I think you could be that much better. :)
That was very impressive. ....
Were you able to get the song / album?
That was superb!!!
Sweeteset version of this song I've heard yet, it's just lovely ^_^ gives me a smile everytime)
trudbol with yet another great video!
I see your point. :)
Very cool.
@kaloo051 Merci beaucoup ;-)
Amo esta versión, la adoro con todo mi ser ♥
