So I have this love, I guess you would call it, for the song "Blackbird". Originally composed, authored, and sung by The Beatles it has been done and re-done because it is so, well, GOOD! :) I really like Sarah McLachlan's version (it was featured on the "I am Sam" movie soundtrack) because I dig McLachlan's voice. This past year some extremely gifted musicians (from Julliard) came together and through the leadership of Michael T and his arrangement played "Blackbird" for purchase to benefit an organization near and dear to my heart and our family, Wingspan Arts. I, of course, had to feature that special edition on today's blog along with McLachlan and The Beatles!
Blackbird is about learning to fly, whether it is for the first time or after an "injury". It's such a beautiful song about freedom. Listen to all, or just one, of the versions and you might see why I am so drawn to the song. My heart is always for people to find freedom, to find healing, to rise up and soar again.
Blackbird - Michael T for WINGSPAN ARTS!! (LOVE Wingspan, they do AMAZING work in NYC Public Schools. Check 'em out by clicking here. Click here for a 4 minute "docu" on why they are fundraising for Wingspan)
