"Blackbird" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1968 double album The Beatles (also known as "the White Album"). It was written by Paul McCartney and credited to LennonMcCartney, and performed as a solo piece by McCartney. When discussing the song, McCartney has said that the lyrics were inspired by hearing the call of a blackbird in Rishikesh, India, and by the civil rights movement in the Southern United States. Recently performed in the finale of popular British sitcom, 'Gavin and Stacey', now expanded for full concert band, featuring cor anglais and recorded blackbird song for added authenticity (in the style of Respighi's 'The Pines of Rome') this is a lovely, reflective song and would make a popular contrasting work in any concert, but particularly alongside other Beatles pieces.
