'Blackbird' from Paul McCartney...

I never associated this with here in the US, but he just did.

Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Black bird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

moon around with my best friend looking at our Beatles magazines and listening to Meet the Beatles. Every girl back in those days had a favorite Beatle. Paul often was their choice just because he was so darned cute and sang mushy songs.

Martina and John McBride's recording studio in Nashville is named Blackbird Studios in honor of this song. John McBride is a HUGE fan of the Beatles.
