@@charlesbatsold31I agree! Because I'm 60 years old, and I'm just finding this guy? Myles Kennedy! I have no idea where slash has been stashing him? ❤️🙏❤️🎶🌍✌️🎤🎸🎼💯
I used the lyrics slightly modified for my first born daughter(Natalie) funeral she was 3 days old full term, she had a very severe congenital heart condition. She was born with her angel wings, one day I too will find her again. She would be 16 now, but in heaven.
So sorry for your loss brother. Can i ask you your modified lyrics if possible? Much respect either way. Hope you and your family do well and i wish you the best.
Fuck u tube ! May God bless you in a most unusual way . U will see it . U tube has blocked my message to u not once not , not twice but 3 times hopefully l get through this time . I've been there!!! Shame, shame, shame on u tube !

“Blackbird" was inspired lyrically by a friend of mine named Mark Morse. He sold me my first guitar when I was a kid, and we stayed friends for years and years. He actually passed away right as that song was being completed so it was dedicated to him and his memory.
If you haven't seen them live, you gotta do it. They are absolutely incredible. You will shed a tear and get loads of goosebumps, they are that good. So together, so professional, so everything and you will be moved. Wembley 2013 was awesome.
Still have Marks plectrum.. I kinda stood out in the crowd. Being 6'4".. shaved head. Looking more like a raver than a metalhead.. Mark looked me in the eyes and wouldnt turn away until I gave him an 'up the irons'... he laughed, nodded his head and went back to crowd. One of my finer moments in life. After the show he made sure I got one of his plectrums. Core memory
This band is a multi-generational talent. Mark's got a great voice on his Tremonti stuff, and Myles' guitar work is stellar in it's own right. Lame comments spoken anywhere about this band come from music casuals without a clue. If they only knew.
Maybe when the stars are aligned and God is smiling on me, you and I are listening to this at the same time and I can close my eyes, stretch my hand out and feel your hand in mine❤❤
Mark humbly believes that Myles is the better guitarist purely based on his knowledge and versatility - as he think Myles can play any genre note perfect whilst singing.
Я с детства слушаю рок и метал музыку … какого черта я впервые слышу этих ребят и этот невероятный голос?! Наверное Вселенная решила что именно сейчас то самое время Трек на повторе весь день 👌🏻
I guess that if, during Mark’s solo, combined with his unique charisma, you get goosebumps all over your body and tears start welling up in your eyes, then that emotion says it all.
@@X976V3Tyou may be an expert but it may surprise you to know that in 2011, this solo was named “The Greatest Guitar Solo of all time” by Guitarist Magazine. Not my favourite by any means but it deserves some respect nonetheless.
Definitely is one of the best, it’s funny how people say “oh no it’s not” it’s bloody subjective, we all can have different tastes. Anyway the best solo is Pantera Cemetery Gates.
when a live group sounds exactly like - or better - than the recorded version, you know they are the real deal. no music or vocal tracks, just phenomenal musicians playing their hearts out. Alter Bridge is breathtaking.
The willow it weeps today A breeze from the distance is calling your name Unfurl your black wings and wait Across the horizon's coming to sweep you away It's coming to sweep you away Let the wind carry you home Blackbird fly away May you never be broken again The fragile cannot endure The wrecked and the jaded, a place so unpure The static of this cruel world Cause some birds to fly long before they've seen their day Long before they've seen their day Let the wind carry you home Blackbird fly away May you never be broken again Beyond the suffering you've known I hope you find your way May you never be broken again Ascending you may find no resistance You know that you've made such a difference In all you leave behind, you'll live to the end The cycle of suffering goes on But the memories of you stay strong Someday I too will fly, and find you again Let the wind carry you home Blackbird fly away May you never be broken again Beyond the suffering you've known I hope you find your way May you never be broken again May you never be broken again
I’m young, I wasn’t even a year old when blackbird came out- and I’ve only discovered alter bridge for the first time 2 years ago- yet I still understand everything said by people who grew up listening to you guys. I wish I had listened to you for longer, you’ve got me through some of the hardest moments in my teenage years and I absolutely fucking love you. Keep rocking, as I have been inspired to do ❤
Alter bridge is beyond awesome. I was at their Amsterdam concert (recorded) and seriously, they can match the best rock bands on earth. Truly underrated, can be loud as Metallica, can be soulful and thoughtful as the Beatles.. respect AB !
Wow! I have never heard of this band, WHY? They are so professional and integrated with each other. That performance gave an old bloke tingles down my spine. I am finding so much great music on UA-cam than I could have even dreamed of. Fantastic performance and I hope you get to Australia to show your unbelievabley brilliant talents. Another band on my list to follow. Cheers
Hearing this sond performed live has given me a whole new appreciation for it, and it was already my favourite AB track. As a singer, I aspire to perform with this much passion and soul ❤
I play guitar and sing too and I’m from tallahassee Florida and creed was my first concert in 97 for my own prison .. birthplace of Creed, Floyd’s Music Store.. when alterbridge was formed, their first live show was Tallahassee at Floyd’s and the show was insane ! Myles just blew me away .. the way he sings, his vocal range .. it was epic ! Then to put icing on the cake, I waited with some others by their bus out back and Myles and mark and flip talked to me and my friends for about an hour . They were so damn cool and down to earth .. I wish I could sing half as good as Myles
This song is a work of art, incredibly executed! Eight minutes of a splendid carousel of emotions that deliver to the universe the best duet of guitar solos in all history. A legendary piece of music that will last in eternity! Thanks Tremonti… Thanks Myles!

The cycle of suffering... ❤ This song. Blackbird was the first album of Alter Bridge that I listened to. This album will always have a special place to me.
Thankyou creed, for introducing me to Alter Bridge....the best collection of artists in the world....love you guys....still love creed but AB is just another level...
Myles Kennedy is a vocal GOD & one of the best & complete frontman ever. Didn't and still don't care for Tremonti in Creed days. But, in Alter Bridge with Myles, Tremonti is phenomenal. Love Myles' work with Slash & his Solo work. Blackbird is an epic tune.🤘🤘🤘
I just saw them perform in my hometown in Pennsylvania----wow!!!!! If Miles isn't one of the greatest rock vocalists, I do not know who is. I studied his and Mark's backgrounds. It is worth the study. What a great, great band!!!!!!
I've been fortunate to see them over 20 times since 2004 and twice this year alone. Love them. They make it look so easy. They walk out, and they all know their role and just feed off each other like its nothing. Insanenely amazing band
Everytime I watch this vid I cry. I have suffered from PTSD, but I’m not a vet. I truely can see this story. Let’s all be human, and care for one and other. Ask people if they want help, need help. Care.
Alter Bridge is a powerhouse, the members are extremely well versed, as someone with a more death metal / hardcore oriented background, I have massive respect for these guys opening the door for me.
I can’t remember how I first heard this song…but I knew it was gold. Then years later I found a book in the library: “100 greatest Guitar Solo’s” something like that. I think it was in the top ten!
It's a badass song They performed this song with an orchestra and it sounds amazing. This is such a fabulous song. Myles with his voice will blow you away then there's Mark that just sets it up with his amazing playing and sound. this is one of the best songs ever and that is really saying something. Truly a masterpiece!

Seen them live twice and met Mark. This song is the most amazing piece of rock music. How it is not recognized more is stunning. I tear up every time I hear it…this is art and what music should be.
Touching this song resonated with me tonight … have to leave my Mum in a care home in another country with late stages dementia - she didn’t want me to go said PLEASE take me with you …So hard 🥲
Been playing guitar for almost 40 years. Kennedy and Tremonti are probably the most underrated duo in rock history.
@@charlesbatsold31I agree! Because I'm 60 years old, and I'm just finding this guy? Myles Kennedy! I have no idea where slash has been stashing him? ❤️🙏❤️🎶🌍✌️🎤🎸🎼💯

These are real musicians, playing their hearts out! No backing tracks, no background musicians, just these guys rocking it!
pure talent
Creed's drummer .guitarist..bass .yea..they jam..Miles Kennedy is awesome
Roger that brother
You see majority of people today aren’t even singing it all backing tracks and majority can’t sing the voice you hear on the radio is studioed heavily but these guys like some other band play real
Music just then there voice and instruments great band love alter bridge
Real musicians don't worship Jesus. The creed leftovers are a pathetic and disgusting excuse for music that makes me wanna vomit.
Whoever mixed this song should get an award. Every instrument, every dynamic is perfect.
They have always had an amazing sound man

But the first guitar solo, is barely audible...I think the oroblem was about the condensate return from the television
Myles and Tremonti write them
The amount of passion that was put in this song

All right comments. Rip Tina Turner, 1939-2023.
Miles makes vocal range sound effortless.
Alter Bridge is one of the most underrated bands ever. It's far better than any modern day earrape.
Every music video on youtube have this exact same comment
Especially the first two albums!
For me personally it's just another band. Nothing special, no offense
@@EugeneNaumenko_Music it's ur opinion, I don't care, everyone likes different music

Sign of a great band to kill it live. Seen them 4 times, they just get better

Should be mentioned in the same breath as some of the all time great bands. Maybe some day…

The willow it weeps today
A breeze from the distance is calling your name
Unfurl your black wings and wait
Across the horizon's coming to sweep you away
It's coming to sweep you away
Let the wind carry you home
Blackbird fly away
May you never be broken again
The fragile cannot endure
The wrecked and the jaded, a place so unpure
The static of this cruel world
Cause some birds to fly long before they've seen their day
Long before they've seen their day
Let the wind carry you home
Blackbird fly away
May you never be broken again
Beyond the suffering you've known
I hope you find your way
May you never be broken again
Ascending you may find no resistance
You know that you've made such a difference
In all you leave behind, you'll live to the end
The cycle of suffering goes on
But the memories of you stay strong

This band used to be Creed... Check it out
Without any question, epic tune, masterful musicians, galactically talented vocals, top five all time favorite artists.
I have been fortunate to see Myles in a small venue doing an acoustic concert! He’s unbelievably talented!
Me too. I couldn't stop crying all night xx
Best gigs are in smaller venues in my opinion.
Seeing him in January…I literally cant wait!!!
Best thing to ever happen in my life, seeing Blackbird being played live in front of me 🥹
Ditto x
one of my best friends passed away this week, and I have been singing this song to him. He was a very good person.
Definitely one of the greatest metal songs of all time.

They just get better over time like a fine wine.

I am lucky that I have a high voice I guess cause the range isn't an issue but in the studio version he holds some notes so fucking long it's a pain.
Amazing song. Amazing Band. They definitely don't get the recognition and respect they most definitely deserve. 🤘🏽🎸
Nowadays respect and recognition goes to Katy Perry and George Ezra 🤣
I think that says it all

Great song - it still means alot for those of us to whom Mark was such an encouraging mentor and friend all those years.
There is no better guitar duo in rock today - and throw in Myles' pipes... Rock Legends
Touching this song resonated with me tonight … have to leave my Mum in a care home in another country with late stages dementia - she didn’t want me to go said PLEASE take me with you …So hard 🥲
That Dimebag sticker next to Tremonti's bridge made me proud. Go guys! Simply awesome.

Masterpiece!
Just heard this band for the first time today... bought tickets to the show at the Stone Pony in NY immediately after this video ended... wow
Hard to pick what my favorite part is...the bass line, Myles, Mark...Bad ass drumming...I saw em live and it blew my mind!!!
Best song EVER!
Unbelievably good solid song. The musicians are amazing.
