About this product

Product Information

The hardcover publication of Blackbird Singing, the first collection of Paul McCartney's poems and lyrics, was an international cultural event celebrated in concert halls, at literary festivals, and in newspapers and magazines throughout the world. "While McCartney is of a completely different cast than Bob Dylan, his appeal may be even greater than that of the latter great poet-songwriter," wrote Publishers Weekly; The Guardian hailed McCartney's words as "a remarkable feat of historical imagination." The best-selling Blackbird Singing now includes several new poems and lyrics, including "Freedom," which McCartney performed in New York City at a benefit concert last fall. To actually read McCartney's poems, whether exuberant ballads of love or poignant messages of deepest grief, is to appreciate the electrifying power of the confluence of dream and song. Inspired by his late wife, Linda McCartney, Blackbird Singing gives us extraordinary access to the inner life of one of the most influential figures of our time."

Timely shipped and well packaged. The product looks exactly as the seller described and arrived well-sealed and despite being listed as used, feels and looks quite new. Being a product that is no longer in stock from the Pokemon Center, I was very pleased to have found this hat reasonably priced and available.

  • This book is everything I expected from Paul McCartney!

    I'm so happy that He included the lyrics from some of his songs. He has such a way of drawing pictures with words and making feelings come to life. Although there were a couple of poems I didn't particularly care for, I think the same could be said of any poetry book, no matter who wrote it. He really put his heart out there in the poem he wrote for John Lennon and the one he wrote for Linda. They are both beautiful pieces. And of course, the book would not be complete without the lyrics to "Hey Jude" that he wrote for Julian Lennon. Paul McCartney is, and has always been, an extraordinary writer!

  • Sir Paul At His Best

    Sir Paul McCartney as musician, songwriter, actor, producer, knight, yes. How about poet as opposed to songwriter? Most definitely, as his school teacher turned him on to Shakespeare and Chaucer. And as "Blackbird" is one of my favourite Beatles songs, I thought it appropriate a title for this collection of poetry and even songs by the Beatles, Wings, and his solo material. However, I also learned in the intro that he was inspired by a message he was giving to a black women during the civil rights movement. The song was transformed from literal to symbol, so the words changed from "Black women living in Little Rock" to "Blackbird singing in the dead of night." The book is divided into nine thematic sections: 1. Playing at Home 2. Yesterday 3. Friends And Enemies 4. The Business 5. The ...

  • BLACKBIRD SINGIND, ADRIAN MITCHELL, PAUL McCARTNEY

    BOUGHT AS A GIFT. SONGS & POEMS WERE VERY INSIGHTFUL, AND PERSONAL. AFTER READING SOME TITLES, YOU COULD REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT HE WAS GOING THROUGH AT THAT TIME. MANY TITLES WERE CLOSE TO HIS HEART, AND THE EXPLAINATIONS THAT WENT WITH THEM HELPED TO SEE WHAT IT WAS THAT HE WAS TRYING TO SAY. HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED.

  • Blackbird Singing 2001

    I like Paul Mccartney. That is why I bought the book. He is brilliant and it seems like everything he touches does well.
