Even Paul McCartney — the man who could play anything — had his limits.
During The Beatles’ most turbulent period, he sat alone with an acoustic guitar and created a song so delicate, so technically demanding, that even he admitted it was “slightly above my level.”
That song was “Blackbird.”
In this episode, we explore the story behind one of Paul’s most intimate masterpieces — a track inspired by classical music, born from social struggle, and perfected through sheer willpower.
From the quiet tension of The White Album sessions to McCartney’s personal battle to make his guitar sing, this is the story of a song that tested his limits — and redefined The Beatles’ genius.
???? A story of perfection, pain, and flight — told in true Beatles style.
