Anyone who thinks Paul McCartney isn't happy that Beyoncé has covered The Beatles classic "Blackbird" on her album Cowboy Carter would be very wrong.
"I am so happy with @beyonce's version of my song 'Blackbird,'" McCartney shares on Instagram. "I think she does a magnificent version of it and it reinforces the civil rights message that inspired me to write the song in the first place."
Bey's version of the song, retitled "Blackbiird," includes acoustic guitar and foot tapping by McCartney, taken from the original backing track he recorded back in 1968 for the Beatles' self-titled album aka The White Album.
McCartney also shared his feelings about the song still being so relevant today.
