Blackbrid

The song Blackbird by the Beatles tells of Civil Rights and the hope of overcoming it, which makes the single effect hopeful. In the song there are phrases such as "Broken wings". These "broken wings" represent the oppression and obstacles that the blacks were forced to overcome. They were forced to live in a world where there was always some obstacle that pushed them down. They were mistreated and always put in a place of inferiority. However, the song also uses phrases like "light of the dark black night" and "moment to be free". The "light of the dark black night" represents the existence of hope. For so long the blacks were treated unfairly, but this "light" shows them that there is a way out and there is something that can guide them even in the dark and harsh lifestyle they're experiencing. As for "moment to be free" this represents the movement and banding together to make a difference. This moment of equality or no longer being oppressed is what this song is leading up to throughout. The song ends with "waiting for this moment to arise", which connects back to the "moment to be free". The "moment" in this sense is what connects back to hope, during the Civil Rights Movement the blacks needed to be hopeful to get through the obstacles and make it to this "moment" of freedom.
