Ready for today's song? If you missed yesterday's song you can find it here
Which Song Version Is Better (Number 38)
Today's song....
Blackbird - The Beatles
Blackbird - Sarah McLachlan
The Beatles get my vote for the best version on this one.
Who gets your vote or do you not like either version of the song?

So, it's neither for me.
Wanting something is not enough. You must hunger for it. Your motivation must be absolutely compelling in order to overcome the obstacles that will invariably come your way.
In the end, it is the person you become, not the things you have achieved, that is the most important.
The song was written as a metaphor of the struggle for the black civil rights. MCcartney said he wrote it after reading about the U.S. race riots in 1968.
The Beatles win, but I love Sarah McLachlan's version too.
