When I first heard Emma Stevens who is 16 years old, sing “Blackbird” in her native Mi’kmaq language, I felt like I was hearing the song for the first time.
It was so beautiful and moving, I thought, that this is the way it was really meant to be sung, when Paul McCartney wrote it over 50 years ago.
I feel like that’s what music and art can do, go back and forth in time and move from place to place, till it touches us all.
wow
Thank you for that – gave me chills at the end. What a wonderful talented pair…….this is one of my very favorite songs, especially by CSN&Y………….just in case you haven’t heard their version!
I haven’t Linda, I’ll check it out.
