On November 25, 2015, Conan Gray uploaded a cover of Blackbird by The Beatles to YouTube.
Conan wrote in the description of the video that the attack in Paris inspired him to post this cover:
I was going to film another silly video this weekend, like planned, but when I heard of all that happened...
[Verse 1]
Blackbird singin' in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
Oh, you were only waitin' for this moment to arise
[Verse 2]
Blackbird singin' in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
Oh, you were only waitin' for this moment to be free
[Chorus]
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark, black night
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark, black night
[Verse 3]
Blackbird singin' in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
Oh, you were only waitin' for this moment to arise
You were only waitin' for this moment to arise
Oh, you were only waitin' for this moment to arise
Oh, you were only waitin' for this moment to arise
