A song of hope...

Here's a song for Thursday... one of my favorites.  It's a song of hope, and was evidently written by Paul McCartney in response to the civil rights movement.  I love the melody and the lyrics, and I have played it so, so many times on the piano at home and a couple times in public, as a piano duet and accompanying a soloist.   Let me share the first verse today.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these broken wings...and learn to fly;

All your life...you were only waiting for this moment to arise. 

"Blackbird"

Words and music by John Lennon and Paul McCartney
