    The link below is to a video of voice artist, Thunderstorm Artis, singing Blackbird by The Beatles. Blackbird is one of my favorite Beatles songs. I just love the guitar because of the calming sound to it. Thunderstorm created a different version of Blackbird; a more acoustic sound to it. Thunderstorm’s version is also a bit slower which adds to this solemn feel when listening to it. Thunderstorm also has to impress the coaches with this song, so he adds runs and holds notes longer which makes the song even better. 

    In the original song, The Beatles have a less acoustic version because there are drums for a beat. The Beatles play at a fast tempo; faster than Thunderstorm’s version. The Beatles also did not need to impress anyone because they already had so many fans that love The Beatles, so there is no need for runs or long notes

    Overall, both versions of “Blackbird” are great songs and worth listening to. Each version has its uniqueness to it but sticks to the lyrics and the overall message. Both versions are very loveable, and I will always think of “Blackbird” as a favorite.
