‘Blackbird’ – The Beatles
“Blackbird” is one of the most contentious songs in The Beatles’ famed catalog. On the surface, the song appears to be a normal love song composed primarily by Paul McCartney. However, McCartney has stated at various occasions throughout the years that the song’s lyrics are a reference to the Civil Rights Movement that was taking place in the United States at the time.
