On the White album, formally known as the Beatles album, Blackbird is considered an underrated song. Why do I say this? YouTube commenters have told me this, multiple times. I personally discovered the song after reading the book The Perks of Being a Wall Flower during middle school. It was one of the songs that Charlie, the protagonist, had on his mix tape, and I, being the curious soul that I am, looked at the songs on. Blackbird completely surpassed all the other songs. Back then, I felt it was written for me. So when I chose the songs, Blackbird was naturally one of my top 5 songs. Although, I have to admit, I didn't realize it was so popular, until I noticed that a lot of my colleagues will be writing about it too. Back on track, Blackbird lasts two minutes and eighteen seconds. It's listed as number three on the second side of the White album and it's beautiful. In the context of The White Album, the song Blackbird creates an uplifting and hopeful experience through the use of raw instrumentation and repetitive vocalized lyrics that ultimately enchant the listener. The album White was released in 1968. Its blank cover frames the infinite possibilities that imagination brings with it. while listening to songs, giving audiences a more personal and open-ended perspective of the songs they listen to. The album has a total of 30 songs, and they all tell a story and are very clear, compared to past songs like John's "I am the Walrus". The album begins with "Back in the USSR", a response to the many patriotic songs established in the era. It's a very upbeat and specific narrative song written by Paul. The same goes for the subsequent songs on the first side of the White album. Like... middle of paper... ut. The song sounds more like it's based on social commentary, like "Back in the USSR" and "Piggies". Also, since the track is right after “I am so tired”, the song seems slower. Could The White Album Go On Without “Blackbird”? I don't think so. This album consists of many blues and folk style songs such as "Back in the USSR", "Rocky Raccoon" and "Let's do it in the Road", and for the album to flow, a transition between the ends of the album is necessary . “Blackbird” is that transition. Its slow pace creates an atmosphere of peace and Pauls' unique voice evokes raw emotions from the audience. Therefore, "Blackbirds", the simple construction, captivates the audience with its honest-sounding nature. Works Cited "Blackbird". The Beatles Songfacts. Np, nd Web.
