The song "Blackbird" is originally written by Paul McCartney and released by The Beatles in 1968. Peter Hollens & Tim Foust's version is a cover of the classic song. The lyrics of the song are about a blackbird singing "in the dead of night", which represents a time of darkness and struggle. The blackbird has broken wings and sunken eyes, but the singer encourages it to learn to fly and see beyond its limitations. The chorus, "Blackbird fly, blackbird fly, into the light of the dark black night," references the bird's freedom and ability to rise above its struggles, flying into the light and overcoming the darkness. The song can be interpreted in many ways, including a metaphor for overcoming personal struggles or societal oppression, and finding hope in times of darkness. It is a powerful message of resilience and the strength to overcome obstacles and find freedom.
