Fat Freddy's Drop Blackbird (Official Video)

- The blackbirds in the garden take flight in this kaleidoscopic music video for 'Blackbird'.
Blackbird Deluxe out now: smarturl.it/BlackbirdDeluxe
FFD Store: ow.ly/v38wB
Director Jon Baxter from Perceptual Engineering, Auckland built a 3D model of a blackbird and his team then set about making it fly and multiply.
Baxter's philosophical approach for Blackbird aligns with the darkness of the lyrics by Freddy's vocalist Joe Dukie. "The Blackbird in my garden is often the lingering fear that attacks my creative process and inhibits action. But this can turn out to be the very same force that allows magic to happen, the very thing that gives momentum to dreams and allows us to break through to the other side", Baxter said.

I've been searching for this song for 7-8 years. I once saw the videoclip and never forgot the song. I've been searching for this song for ages and never been able to find it... until today!!
Choice!
Welcome my little brother..
This is my jam 💯%. I was out on a bush block for the last 2 years on my own making and selling art from a tiny cabin. This album was on every single morning like clock work as I painted for dear life. Fat Freddys always in my heart. 😊🦋❤️🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Heard this song at the most magical festival moment of my life. Everyone was dancing. Everyone was smiling. Sexy times. I’ll never forget it
I try to understand how such a good track is watched so little
this is good. not everybody can understand it or feel it. its for chosen people. not for everyone. its something special
its because we live in idiocracy nowadays.. a stolen track from Nicki Minaj - Anaconda 1 mld views..
Someone else uploaded it, and youtube's awful algorithm kept promoting those videos instead, it seems like
Those pieces are not for everybody
Its only for the Chosen
This song is Magic.
I bought my first car and it had based on a true story stuck in the cd player. Needless to say i know every song on that album off by heart, seen you guys live 4 times, even shared a sneaky bone thu the fence after one of your shows 😂 love you guys
DAT BASSLINE.
Vancouver awaits thee.
on national lockdown today with Fat Freddy one love !
Always vibing to this song when my dad plays it
I ♥️New Zealand. Proud to be a kiwi
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If you listen this 2023 you have a great story to tell you made with this song
beautiful track ......
Thankyou, so jolly pleasant, quietening, and uplifting, all at once
my man for 28yrs was called fat Feddy at festivals RIP micky BOD 2022 x
fucking love these guys
Go on wit ur Bill Withers vibe and sound. Love you guys
Still the best live act i have ever seen. Proud to be kiwi! Aotearoa!
I would have agreed if I hadn't also seen Prodigy and Toots and the Maytals. That is the kind of company they can be held up with though which is as much as anyone can reasonably expect of any mortal!
And just because its an amzing tune ...timless and si sweet gocals🎉❤
Great track. Sounds like fats has gone back to the beginning, found their roots. Love the simplicity of the video.
I think my cat likes this on the big screen more than I do
Thanks dad for playing this song hope you see this comment 😊😊
You're welcome son
love ur music...greetings from india!
Where there was one before,
now there are many,
and as the days go by,
I see them multiply.
I can't eat, I can't sleep,
because I know the'll be watching me.
Descending on the beast,
these shadows keep folding down,
for me.
Mmmmm
There's a blackbird,
in my garden,
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohoh ohoh ohohohoho.
There's a blackbird,
in my garden,
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohoh ohoh ohohohoho.
Where there was one before, mmm
now there are many,
What are they waiting for,
food I have not to need.
I can't eat, I can't sleep,
because I know the'll be watching me.
Yellow eyes that see right through,
I don't know what I'm supposed to do,
For these blackbirds,
in my garden,
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohoh ohoh ohohohoho.
blackbirds in my gargen,
oh oh oh oh oh oh

Guard: "Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?"
Arthur: "Of course not! They could be carried."
Guard: "By what? A -blackbird- swallow carrying a coconut?"
Arthur: "It could grip it by the husk."
Guard: "It's not a question of where it grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios. A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut!"
Arthur: "Well it doesn't matter! Could you tell your master that Arthur from the court of Camelot is here?"
Guard: "Look, in order to maintain airspeed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right?"
Arthur: "Please!"
Guard: "Am I right?"
Arthur: "I'm not interested!"
Guard #2: "It could be carried by an African swallow."
Guard: "Oh yeah, an African swallow maybe, but not a European swallow, that's what I'm saying."
Guard #2: "Oh I agree with that."
Arthur: "Will you _ask_ your master if he wants to join my court at Camelot?"
Guard: "But then again, African swallows are non-migratory."
Guard #2: "Oh yeah. So they couldn't bring a coconut back anyway. Wait, supposing two swallows carried it together?"
Guard: "Nah, they'd have to have it on a line!"
Guard #2: "Simple! They just use a stranded creeper!"
Guard: "What, held under the dorsal guiding feathers?"
Guard #2: "Well why not?"
first there was one ... now there are many.
Eu amo essa vídeo!!! Me traz uma sensação de ralaxamento, paz! E conheci através do Zeka Ramos, famoso Seja Natural! Desde o ano passado que escuto essa preciosidade. ❤❤❤

Where there was one before
Now there are many
And as the days go by
I see them multiply
I can't eat

Descending on the breeze
Their shadows keep falling down on me
There's a blackbird
In my garden
Oh!

In my garden

Where there was one before
Now there are many
What are they're waiting for?
Food I have not any
I can't eat
I can't sleep
Because I know they'll be watching me
With yellow eyes that see right through
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
All these blackbirds
In my garden
Oh!

Excellent!!
Outside my bedroom window,eating all my plums or at least pretending to,and summer has just begun
love fat freddys !!!!
Vai primavera sound ... Arrancaaaaa
Beautiful
some kinda cool context info is that black birds were introduced to new zealand from europe. they have had a pretty big impact and spread over all of the islands. they eat bugs and fruit.
dead set?? v interesting
Omg 😮 makes sense
And I'm guessing "There's a Hedgehog in my garden" didn't have quite the same ring! Pretty sure you got those too.. except they're destroying the place! Yet our native populations hugely declined. Wish NZ could send them back!
😊😊+
What type of bird.. here its a grackle .. theres starlings...
The American dipper..
Male martins are black..
Crow / raven. Magpiei have chickens that are black. :)
Omg I have this CD
Awesome music video, loving the wing movement of the birds! 4:15 Is awesome :O

❤
moooh-oh-oooh-oooh-oh-oh-oooh-ooooohooooo-oooohhh..!
what i think this song means : black birds represent darkness, death, vultures, crows, and therefore troubles... all these bad things therefore accumulate,they grow or become worse in the blink of an eye... when he refers to a 'garden" - since gardens represent growth and all life when they grow or are well taken care of - these birds, therefore troubles are there to make sure he doesn't eat from the garden.. him being troubled by the fact that these birds persist can also be a reason why he cannot either sleep nor eat. Beautiful music nonetheless.
+Xola Steleki Taking his lyric's somewhat political history into account* I would imagine that the blackbirds are the millitary planes used for surveillance. He is simply stating that he knows he is beeing watched.
* (From Dark Days)
...in a world that's so cruel
where the weak just get weaker
where the powerful feud
where the children go hungry
while the soldiers stand by
lay down your weapons...
i think you nailed it!!!
I think he dropped some acid and and saw a black bird on his front lawn
He's talking about female fans. Hangers on.. fame hungry women. He said so at one of his concerts.
Xola Steleki fuck up no one cares about what you think
🤩
Finally !
Also black birds in my garden. Raven are wonderful birds and very intellegent.
can you eat?
can you sleep?
I named my son Raven. He turns 6 today. (July 1st) =D
$30 times listening. Jah bless!
Where there was one before
Now there are many
And as the days go by
I see them multiply
I can't eat
I can't sleep
Because I know they'll be watching me
Descending on the breeze
Their shadows keep falling down on me
There's a blackbird
In my garden
Oh!
There's a blackbird
In my garden
Oh!
the way to sing the "oh ooooooo oh oh" is from I Jah Man
La mejor parte empieza en: 4:13 :3
Si, es asombroso, but for me the best begins at 2:54
Very cool kiwi music.
Video is irrelevant. Music speaks for itself. ♥
But it's well made too
Nice
🖤
