If anything proves that music is the universal language, it’s the fact that The Beatles songs have been translate into so many dialects. A teenager covered The Beatles’ “Blackbird” in the Indigenous language Mi’kmaq to help revitalize it. Paul McCartney himself chimed in on the cover.
Paul McCartney was ‘nervous’ to sing The Beatles’ ‘Blackbird’ after hearing a cover
During a 2019 interview with the CBC, singer Emma Stevens explained she hoped Paul would hear her Mi’kmaq cover of “Blackbird.” While the track is performed in an Indigenous dialect, its sparse folk arrangement is very faithful to original “Blackbird” on The White Album.
Stevens’ teacher, Carter Chiasson, wanted the cover to draw attention to the Mi’kmaq language. Chiasson said his brother, Adam Chiasson, “emailed the right person and said the right things and all of a sudden we had an invitation” to see Paul in concert — and meet him before the show.

Paul McCartney once removed sounds from The Beatles’ ‘The Long and Winding Road’
Keir Neuringer is a member of the jazz group Irreversible Entanglements. During a 2022 Stereogum article in honor of Paul’s 80th birthday, Neuringer called “The Long and Winding Road” his favorite of Paul’s compositions. “It’s kind of easy for me to wax nostalgic about The Beatles, and McCartney was the most nostalgic of them, lyrically and compositionally,” he said.
