You see majority of people today aren’t even singing it all backing tracks and majority can’t sing the voice you hear on the radio is studioed heavily but these guys like some other band play real Music just then there voice and instruments great band love alter bridge
@@chrisfrancis6101 No, there is something about this song that is at the next level. It’s one of the most unknown EPIC songs. Let alone for a rock song but any genre. This song kicks ass. Especially if Jen mixed in the studio like the OP said
@congresssux9766 been in music for many years! Also, know these guys ... im from Spokane! Miles went to school with my best friend's wife! Party a bit with thier sound man great guy!!! Maybe you should look it up! So yes I am correct, the song itself is no secret either! Lolol anyone that listens to Alter Bridge will tell you this!! I was giving the guy a positive comment, you want to talk trash! How sad are you! Lol have a great day!
“Blackbird" was inspired lyrically by a friend of mine named Mark Morse. He sold me my first guitar when I was a kid, and we stayed friends for years and years. He actually passed away right as that song was being completed so it was dedicated to him and his memory.
I used the lyrics slightly modified for my first born daughter(Natalie) funeral she was 3 days old full term, she had a very severe congenital heart condition. She was born with her angel wings, one day I too will find her again. She would be 16 now, but in heaven.
So sorry for your loss brother. Can i ask you your modified lyrics if possible? Much respect either way. Hope you and your family do well and i wish you the best.
Maybe when the stars are aligned and God is smiling on me, you and I are listening to this at the same time and I can close my eyes, stretch my hand out and feel your hand in mine❤❤
This band is a multi-generational talent. Mark's got a great voice on his Tremonti stuff, and Myles' guitar work is stellar in it's own right. Lame comments spoken anywhere about this band come from music casuals without a clue. If they only knew.
@@X976V3Tyou may be an expert but it may surprise you to know that in 2011, this solo was named “The Greatest Guitar Solo of all time” by Guitarist Magazine. Not my favourite by any means but it deserves some respect nonetheless.
Definitely is one of the best, it’s funny how people say “oh no it’s not” it’s bloody subjective, we all can have different tastes. Anyway the best solo is Pantera Cemetery Gates.
If you haven't seen them live, you gotta do it. They are absolutely incredible. You will shed a tear and get loads of goosebumps, they are that good. So together, so professional, so everything and you will be moved. Wembley 2013 was awesome.
Mark humbly believes that Myles is the better guitarist purely based on his knowledge and versatility - as he think Myles can play any genre note perfect whilst singing.
The willow it weeps today A breeze from the distance is calling your name Unfurl your black wings and wait Across the horizon's coming to sweep you away It's coming to sweep you away Let the wind carry you home Blackbird fly away May you never be broken again The fragile cannot endure The wrecked and the jaded, a place so unpure The static of this cruel world Cause some birds to fly long before they've seen their day Long before they've seen their day Let the wind carry you home Blackbird fly away May you never be broken again Beyond the suffering you've known I hope you find your way May you never be broken again Ascending you may find no resistance You know that you've made such a difference In all you leave behind, you'll live to the end The cycle of suffering goes on But the memories of you stay strong Someday I too will fly, and find you again Let the wind carry you home Blackbird fly away May you never be broken again Beyond the suffering you've known I hope you find your way May you never be broken again May you never be broken again
when a live group sounds exactly like - or better - than the recorded version, you know they are the real deal. no music or vocal tracks, just phenomenal musicians playing their hearts out. Alter Bridge is breathtaking.
Alter bridge is beyond awesome. I was at their Amsterdam concert (recorded) and seriously, they can match the best rock bands on earth. Truly underrated, can be loud as Metallica, can be soulful and thoughtful as the Beatles.. respect AB !

Hearing this sond performed live has given me a whole new appreciation for it, and it was already my favourite AB track. As a singer, I aspire to perform with this much passion and soul ❤
I play guitar and sing too and I’m from tallahassee Florida and creed was my first concert in 97 for my own prison .. birthplace of Creed, Floyd’s Music Store.. when alterbridge was formed, their first live show was Tallahassee at Floyd’s and the show was insane ! Myles just blew me away .. the way he sings, his vocal range .. it was epic ! Then to put icing on the cake, I waited with some others by their bus out back and Myles and mark and flip talked to me and my friends for about an hour . They were so damn cool and down to earth .. I wish I could sing half as good as Myles
Myles Kennedy is a vocal GOD & one of the best & complete frontman ever. Didn't and still don't care for Tremonti in Creed days. But, in Alter Bridge with Myles, Tremonti is phenomenal. Love Myles' work with Slash & his Solo work. Blackbird is an epic tune.🤘🤘🤘
Wow! I have never heard of this band, WHY? They are so professional and integrated with each other. That performance gave an old bloke tingles down my spine. I am finding so much great music on CZcams than I could have even dreamed of. Fantastic performance and I hope you get to Australia to show your unbelievabley brilliant talents. Another band on my list to follow. Cheers
Alter Bridge is a powerhouse, the members are extremely well versed, as someone with a more death metal / hardcore oriented background, I have massive respect for these guys opening the door for me.
The cycle of suffering... ❤ This song. Blackbird was the first album of Alter Bridge that I listened to. This album will always have a special place to me.
I just saw them perform in my hometown in Pennsylvania----wow!!!!! If Miles isn't one of the greatest rock vocalists, I do not know who is. I studied his and Mark's backgrounds. It is worth the study. What a great, great band!!!!!!
I've been fortunate to see them over 20 times since 2004 and twice this year alone. Love them. They make it look so easy. They walk out, and they all know their role and just feed off each other like its nothing. Insanenely amazing band
I can’t remember how I first heard this song…but I knew it was gold. Then years later I found a book in the library: “100 greatest Guitar Solo’s” something like that. I think it was in the top ten!
This song is a work of art, incredibly executed! Eight minutes of a splendid carousel of emotions that deliver to the universe the best duet of guitar solos in all history. A legendary piece of music that will last in eternity! Thanks Tremonti… Thanks Myles!
To my wonderful sweet toughclawed cat Bimby, roughest paw in the whole West, I pray: Ascend, may you find no resistance. Know that you've made such a difference and all you leave behind will live 'til the end.
It's a badass song They performed this song with an orchestra and it sounds amazing. This is such a fabulous song. Myles with his voice will blow you away then there's Mark that just sets it up with his amazing playing and sound. this is one of the best songs ever and that is really saying something. Truly a masterpiece!
Absolutely and without anything left inside, this is the most perfect song I've ever heard in my life, that's it's my favorite song among my favorites. Twice I've seen Alter Bridge and both times I cried. thanks for your art ❤
These are real musicians, playing their hearts out! No backing tracks, no background musicians, just these guys rocking it!
pure talent
Creed's drummer .guitarist..bass .yea..they jam..Miles Kennedy is awesome
Roger that brother
You see majority of people today aren’t even singing it all backing tracks and majority can’t sing the voice you hear on the radio is studioed heavily but these guys like some other band play real
Music just then there voice and instruments great band love alter bridge
Real musicians don't worship Jesus. The creed leftovers are a pathetic and disgusting excuse for music that makes me wanna vomit.
Whoever mixed this song should get an award. Every instrument, every dynamic is perfect.
They have always had an amazing sound man

But the first guitar solo, is barely audible...I think the oroblem was about the condensate return from the television
Myles and Tremonti write them
The amount of passion that was put in this song

Alter Bridge is one of the most underrated bands ever. It's far better than any modern day earrape.
Every music video on youtube have this exact same comment
Especially the first two albums!
For me personally it's just another band. Nothing special, no offense
@@EugeneNaumenko_Music it's ur opinion, I don't care, everyone likes different music

Mark is one of the best guitarists in rock - ever.
Miles makes vocal range sound effortless.
Without a doubt one of the best guitar solos of all time.
Myles and Mark did an amazing song / dual solo.
you must be young ....good guitar work but "one of the best guitar solos of all time".....hardly

Seen em 3 times, twice in the states,once in Europe.
This is rock is supposed to be played
🤘😎🤘
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
I sometimes forget what an amazing guitarist Myles is.
Myles is very good 👍
Tremonti is just insanely good 🤯
He is a good guitarist.
@@yoshikigrg8 Whatever you say. He sounds amazing to me.
Mark humbly believes that Myles is the better guitarist purely based on his knowledge and versatility - as he think Myles can play any genre note perfect whilst singing.
He definitely can hold his own against Tremonti 🙌 ❤
Definitely one of the greatest metal songs of all time.
This is voted as the greatest rock song ever, did ya'll know that? They performed it perfectly too.
Was number 6 in top ten
How does this band sound better live than on the record?! Absolutely amazing, love every bit of it.
Creed baby lol
Sign of a great band to kill it live. Seen them 4 times, they just get better
RIGHT! is incredible! i prefer this version at the album song!!
Should be mentioned in the same breath as some of the all time great bands. Maybe some day…
THIS IS an example of one of the last Rock and Roll groups in this FUCKED up twisted era of new music
It is honestly so criminal that you guys are not more well known.
This band is so good. Such a great live band . Myles is one of the greatest singers ever. What a voice.
The willow it weeps today
A breeze from the distance is calling your name
Unfurl your black wings and wait
Across the horizon's coming to sweep you away
It's coming to sweep you away
Let the wind carry you home
Blackbird fly away
May you never be broken again
The fragile cannot endure
The wrecked and the jaded, a place so unpure
The static of this cruel world
Cause some birds to fly long before they've seen their day
Long before they've seen their day
Let the wind carry you home
Blackbird fly away
May you never be broken again
Beyond the suffering you've known
I hope you find your way
May you never be broken again
Ascending you may find no resistance
You know that you've made such a difference
In all you leave behind, you'll live to the end
The cycle of suffering goes on
But the memories of you stay strong
Someday I too will fly, and find you again
Let the wind carry you home
Blackbird fly away
May you never be broken again
Beyond the suffering you've known
I hope you find your way
May you never be broken again
May you never be broken again

The truth is in
their name, God

His two promises that He

His heart ❤️

Surprising is that it is surprising nowadays🙂

I have been fortunate to see Myles in a small venue doing an acoustic concert! He’s unbelievably talented!
Me too. I couldn't stop crying all night xx
Best gigs are in smaller venues in my opinion.
Without any question, epic tune, masterful musicians, galactically talented vocals, top five all time favorite artists.
Best Alter Bridge Song
Cade os BR fãns do Alter Bridge ..comentem aqui que som sencacional
Uma das melhores canções já compostas na história do rock.
Hey Guys, come back to Europe with tour again, specifically to Poland. ☺ It was one of the best concerts I've ever seen in my life!
Best thing to ever happen in my life, seeing Blackbird being played live in front of me 🥹

I am lucky that I have a high voice I guess cause the range isn't an issue but in the studio version he holds some notes so fucking long it's a pain.

But, in Alter Bridge with Myles, Tremonti is phenomenal. Love Myles' work with Slash & his Solo work. Blackbird is an epic tune.🤘🤘🤘
I fukin loved Creed x
How does this not have 10 million views? It seems impossible. I haven't seen one comment on the tribute Miles did to the Beatles.
one of my best friends passed away this week, and I have been singing this song to him. He was a very good person.

Nowadays respect and recognition goes to Katy Perry and George Ezra 🤣
I think that says it all
love the dimebag sticker on mark’s guitar
Saw these guys play a smaller venue in Norfolk, VA when they first got together. I was blown away.

why is the end cut short? :( I love this live album and the outro is so iconic for this song. It's an amazing song with a great outro as well
Yeah I fail to understand why they overlooked that
Masterpiece!
I love this band
Great song - it still means alot for those of us to whom Mark was such an encouraging mentor and friend all those years.
love how he plays the beatles lick at the start nice little touch
I love this Song 👍👍👍 Thx AB 😉
