Paul McCartney & Wings – Bluebird [Acoustic Rehearsal]

Paul McCartney & Wings – Bluebird [Acoustic Rehearsal] | Society Of Rock Videos

They Sound Amazing Even In Rehearsals!

If you’re as big a fan of Paul McCartney and Wings as I am, then you’ll definitely love this exclusive footage of the band rehearsing ‘Bluebird’! I love this video. Everyone is fresh faced and young and completely in love with life, and as Paul strums away from beside Linda McCartney, it’s obvious that this wasn’t really meant to be filmed – it comes off as more of an impromptu jam session than a proper band rehearsal.

This breezy, laid back tune was written during Paul’s time in Jamaica, sometime in 1971. The ‘bluebird’ mentioned is a metaphor for the transcendent power of love and ‘the liberation of the human spirit from mental and physical bondage’, two things Paul fervently believed in!

I should have known that Paul McCartney and Wings were just as amazing behind the scenes during a casual moment backstage together as they were onstage, taking on the world! Bluebird is definitely one of my favorites from the band’s vast catalog, and if it isn’t one of yours, this rare acoustic rehearsal session should do just the trick!

+ Bluebird lyrics +

Late at night when the wind is still
I’ll come flying through your door,
And you’ll know what love is for.
L’m a bluebird, i’m a bluebird
I’m a bluebird, l’m a bluebird
Yeah ,yeah ,yeah.

I’m a bluebird, i’m a bluebird,
I’m a bluebird
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Touch your lips with a magic kiss
And you’ll be a bluebird too,
And you’ll know what love can do.

L’m a bluebird, i’m a bluebird
L’m a bluebird, l’m a bluebird
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

L’m a bluebird, i’m a bluebird,
L’m a bluebird,
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Bluebird
Ah ha,
Bluebird
Ah ha,
Bluebird.

Fly away through the midnight air
As we head across the sea,
And at last we will be free.

You’re a bluebird, you’re a bluebird,
You’re a bluebird, you’re a bluebird
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You’re a bluebird, you’re a bluebird
You’re a bluebird
Yeah, yeah ,yeah.

Bluebird
Ah ha,
Bluebird
Ah ha,
Bluebird.

All alone on a desert island
We’re living in the trees,
And we’re flying in the breeze.

We’re the bluebirds, we’re the bluebirds
We’re the bluebirds, we’re the bluebirds
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We’re the bluebirds, we’re the bluebirds
We’re the bluebirds
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bluebird
Ah ha,
Bluebird
Ah ha,
Bluebird.
