"Blackbird" is a song by The Beatles appearing on the White Album. It is played by Paul McCartney on acoustic guitar accompanied by metronome and features a recording of a blackbird singing. Many bands, performers, have made covers of it, such as Sarah McLaghlan.

Elements of the lyrics ("take these broken wings and learn to fly") have re-appeared in other pop songs over the years, notably the number one hit "Broken Wings" by Mr. Mister.
