Like a well full of poison / a rotten coreĪnd I shake from the hell that the habits bring What I want and what I need are at constant war Stop watching / I'm coughing / I can't be more I sweat through the sheet as daylight fades They close in, swallowing me (Oh, oh, oh) With blackbirds following me (Oh, oh, oh) Put pennies on the eyes let the dead men sing Lay the sick ones down and the bells will ring Paint red on the sleeves of the ones you love Take to the streets / better lock that kid upįace full of teeth when he hock that spit up When asked in the ApLPU chat if Linkin Park would play the song live, Mike answered, "Blackbirds in concert? not sure" Personnel Linkin Park "Blackbirds" has never been performed live in any form.
Lyrically, this is what some of my demo rap stuff sounds like–it kinda makes sense, kinda doesn’t…thought it would be a cool way to open up the song." Music Video That was a demo / freestyle session that was the template for the bridge. When he posted about the song on his blog on April 28, 2010, Mike said, "Sorry, I forgot to add the most “mysterious” part: the intro rap verse. It is not uncommon for Linkin Park to "polish" a song or make small changes to it before its release, especially if it was recorded years prior. Mike's statement about the song suggests the track was worked on at some point between 20 to finalize it for release like other Linkin Park songs, such as " Not Alone" and " The Last Line". It's not gonna be on an album, it's not gonna be on anything else." He added in an LPU chat, "Blackbirds is exclusive to the game. In the 8-Bit Rebellion! press release, Mike said, "We really liked the song and thought this would be a unique way to give it to our fans." He went on to tell MTV News in April 2010, "When you finish the game, you get access to "Blackbirds" which is a brand new Linkin Park song that we basically finished specifically to this game.
Mike gave the first indication of this iTunes release in an ApLPU chat when he said, "Blackbirds will probably be on iTunes a little while after the game has been out." Linkin Park also included "Blackbirds" with the A Thousand Suns release on iTunes as a bonus track even though it was from the Minutes To Midnight album sessions. To get the song, users had to beat the game and make it to the end, unlocking "Blackbirds". "Blackbirds" ended up being released almost three years after Minutes To Midnight came out, on Apon Linkin Park's 8-Bit Rebellion! game. Due to the sixth one being unknown at the time, fans referred to "Blackbirds" originally as the "Sixth String Song" due to the clip in the DVD. Four made the album and the fifth was "No Roads Left" (the iTunes edition bonus track). The song was first heard by fans in the The Making Of Minutes To Midnight DVD, where a short clip is shown of Brad observing David Campbell recording strings for "Blackbirds." At the time of the album's release, the band said six songs had strings recorded for them. David Campbell, Mike, and Brad wrote the string arrangements, with David conducting the violin, viola, cello, and bass performances which are highlighted on the album's DVD. "Blackbirds" is one of the seventeen songs recorded for Minutes To Midnight in 2006-2007 and is one of the five songs that did not make the album, along with " No Roads Left", " Across The Line", " What We Don't Know", and another unknown fifth song.Īt the end of the Minutes To Midnight recording sessions, Linkin Park invited composer David Campbell back, who they previously worked with on Meteora, to add string arrangements to six songs, four of which made the album outright - " Leave Out All The Rest", " Shadow Of The Day", " Hands Held High", " The Little Things Give You Away", bonus track " No Roads Left", and outtake "Blackbirds".
