I thought Alter Bridge covered that song on this album first. Then I realized, who makes a title track out of a cover... yeah.


Actually, it was partly inspired by the Beatles song. This interview explains it:



"IC: Was Blackbird Studio the inspiration for the new album title?



MT: No, we had the song “Blackbird” written before we knew we were gonna record there. The story behind that, is that a good friend of Myles’ had just passed away when we were finishing writing the song and he wrote the lyrics about him. His friend taught him how to play “Blackbird” by the Beatles – it was like, one of the first songs he’d ever learned, so he referred to his friend as Blackbird. It’s pretty much a song about wanting him to go find a better place. Anyway, since it was our favorite song on the record, and it’s where we recorded the record, we thought it would be a good album title."

I always thought it was about a lame superhero that waits outside restaurants and eats leftover fries.

The cover makes it pretty apparent, I thought.





I could be wrong. Probably not.

@ties, oh that was pretty informative. That's an interesting way to dedicate a song to someone. +1 for Alter Bridge, I suppose.

Creed doesn't suck, My Own Prison and Human Clay both rule.

I was never really that into Creed but never really thought they deserved all the hate either. Regardless, I really hope they call it quits for good soon, we need AB to put out another classic.
