Blackbird Singing in the Dead of Night - Mach 3 version

On this the longest night, our great and powerful fast bird now caught up in black ... I made a new video. Enjoy please!

I'm grateful to give credit to all those who enabled me to piece this together here as I did. I always wanted to fly such a powerful jet. This video you see here is as far and fast as I could go, so far. I can't sing well either ... the song is simple but this little craft is a bit complex.

The song was first recorded 11 June 1968 in Abbey Road studios, after the SR-71 Blackbird had already been flying 4 years ...

Mach 1: Sarah Mclachlan
Mach 2: Evan Rachel Wood
Mach 3: The Beatles, the first and the last

"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 singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.

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

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
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise."
