I never understood the song "Blackbird" by the Beatles until I had a literal blackbird singing in the dead of night while I was trying to sleep... The words then take on new meaning and were HILARIOUS.

It's a great song. I used to sing it to my kids when they were babies to help them sleep
That's very ironic if you put yourself in my shoes and consider the lyrics and what they actually mean 😆
Maybe. Here's the thing though. It's a beautiful song regardless of meaning or who listens to it. I understand it's background and meaning. My children when they were babies didn't and still are young enough not to. But they were able to enjoy it, the melody and the words to be soothed to fall asleep. When they're old enough to understand more they'll learn about it.
Absolutely. I love the duality. Me lying in bed with sunken eyes because I can't frikin' sleep thinking of the beautiful melodious song saying "take these sunken eyes and learn to see, all your life, you were only waiting for this moment to be free." Basically telling the darn thing to F off. I was so frustrated and also laughing with the impact of it all. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
*** the beautiful and melodious song of both the actual blackbird and the song "blackbird"... There's layers 🤯🤪
Very true.
I was thinking more of the civil rights time frame aspect lol. Yours definitely works from a personal relevance side of it for sure. I do hope you get some rest soon though
