  Paul McCartney wrote this song as a tribute and gift to Black women after the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. Beyonce covering it brings tears to my eyes. ❤❤❤❤

  Beatles are among the bands who refused to perform to any segregated concert venues in the 60's. They wrote this song in tribute to the civil rights movement then. It was a message of hope and encouragement.

  I'm an old guy, nearly 70, and I loved this song when it first came out and ever since. Never really listened to Beyonce before but I was intrigued by the idea of her singing this. Pleasantly surprised by her version. I love the way she kept the original "footsteps walking" drumbeat, too. Very nice.

  To have Brittney Spencer, Reyna Roberts, Tanner Adell and Tiera Kennedy on this song — of all songs — is beautiful.

  The intention behind this song being for black women to keep going during the Civil Rights movement! Now Beyoncé adds the black country girls who are not accepted in country music, but she’s giving them this platform to SHINE!!! I am moved…😭🫶🏾✨

  McCartney had the struggle of black women especially in mind when writing the song. In his 1997 book, Many Years From Now, McCartney said of Blackbird: "This was really a song from me to a black woman, experiencing these problems in the States: 'Let me encourage you to keep trying, to keep your faith, there is hope.'"

  As a BW who grew up on a farm in NC, with a Great-grandpa who played the electric guitar & sang country music. This album is making me at home again. Thx B.

  For them to be singing together “you were only waiting for this moment to arise” is her giving them this moment on her album to shine! I love it

  I sang this song to my infant son while I cared for him. He's 21 now. Listening to this version made me cry.

  You know, when the Beatles first toured in the states in the early 60s, they refused to play to segregated audiences.

  This really works to me. Beyoncé used Paul’s original fretting and toe tapping, and still made a version that doesn’t sound like a cheap imitation of the original version of this song. This song is iconic so you have to be a little brave to cover it, and I thought she did a very nice job.

  As a 72 year old Beatles fan from way back, I LOVED this version. I bet Paul loves it as well.

  Glorious. I'm a crotchety old man whose first Beatles record was bought when the band was still together, in a long ago analog world, and I am so grateful for this young lady's voice and choice of inspiration. Glorious.

  When my grandmother was 19 years old, her along with her two sisters left Jim Crow South to build a better life for her family and future family. She didn’t have much, but society told her she wouldn’t make it. After years of abuse and angst, she was able to take her broken wings and she flew and soar and when this song comes on it reminds me of everything she sacrificed to give the new generation life! This was her MOMENT TO ARISE AND IK SHE WOULDVE LOVED THIS RENDITION. May she RIP 😢

  You see, all these people coming here just to vent their hatred, they don't know anything about music and history, what humanity has come to.
