  • The blackbirds in the garden take flight in this kaleidoscopic music video for 'Blackbird'.
    Blackbird Deluxe out now: smarturl.it/Bla...
    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.

    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?"

    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.

    in my garden,

    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,

    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...

    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!
