Lyrics
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

Black bird 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 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

Lovely!

[blithesea]

Thank you! <3

i'm not familiar with the source, but this vid is amazing and makes me want to go watch it.

[blithesea]

Thank you! And I may be biased, but I heartily recommend watching the movie. ;-)

I've had this sitting in a tab for ages because I knew it'd make me cry. I wasn't wrong. The editing is great and the introduction of Paul is so beautifully done and just. I am going to go and drown in feels now.

[blithesea]

Aw, I'm sorry for making you cry, but how great that the vid managed to touch you like that. The introduction of Paul was one of the things most important to me. <3

[lithiumdoll]

Really beautifully put together - lovely!

[blithesea]

Thank you for the lovely comment!

[purplefringe]

Oh. This is so very lovely. So sweet and soft and touching - I love the way you let the clips take their time, and set such a gentle rhythm. Feelings!

[blithesea]

Thank you! I won't lie, the rhythm wasn't easy for me to vid at all. But the emotions made it come together, I hope.

[tabaqui]

That was so very lovely - really captured the story of the film, and the emotions of the scenes.... Loved it.

[blithesea]

Thank you! I love the source, I'm glad you feel the vid does it justice!

[frayadjacent]

What a sweet and wonderful vid! I loved your range of clip/editing speed, especially to a relatively slow, quiet song. It worked great for telling the characters' story and drawing out the emotion. Lovely work!

[blithesea]

Thank you! The rhythm didn't come easy to me, so your comment means a lot! <3

[franzeska]

I love what you did with him doing his hair.

[blithesea]

Hee, I love that everyone picks up on different aspects! <3 Thank you!

[laurashapiro]

Captivating! Simple but totally effective. And now I wanna see Nowhere Boy.

[blithesea]

Thank you! I'll be proud to have turned you on to that movie. It would be interesting to hear what you think of the vid after you have seen the original.

[fan_eunice]

This is so, so, lovely and moving.

[blithesea]

Thank you! I'm glad to managed to bring across what the movie left in me!

[par_avion]

Aw, sweet. I really liked the moment where their feet are suddenly tapping in time to each other, and the song.

[blithesea]

I've loved the song for so long, I was glad to have a chance to vid with it. Thank you for the lovely comment!

[livrelibre]

Absolutely beautifully done!

[blithesea]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[echan]

The stillness at the beginning was a great launching point for the glasses(!) and the guitar and the toe tapping and music making, very cool to see.

[blithesea]

Thank you! I've tried to emphasize the music as much as possible, glad to hear it came out!
