Blackbird was originally written in response to the struggle for civil rights in the U.S. When Nelson Mandela died, \u201cit seemed so right to pay tribute to him and honor the tremendous impact he made\u201d says Mark.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The arrangement of \u201cBlackbird\u201d grew out of Mark\u2019s unique approach to stringing and tuning his 8-string acoustic guitar. David then added a vocal line and lush vocal harmonies using his VoiceLive 2 Touch. Once the guitar and vocals were established, they collaborated with Mads and Dan to come up with violin and bass parts that filled out and anchored the texture of the song.<\/div>\n

Filmed on location by director Paul Nordin of EMB Studios, in Emeryville, California the video was edited by Sharon Knight. The music was mastered by Reuben Cohen at Lurssen Mastering in Los Angeles.<\/div>\n

About Glass House:<\/div>\n
Glass House released its third album \u201cLong Way Down\u201d in October 2013. Songs range from the sparsely haunting solo acoustic guitar and voice rendition of Robbie Robertson’s \u201cBroken Arrow,\u201d to the funk string quartet intro of \u201cTurn Away,\u201d to the driving, world music-infused choral tapestry of \u201cBuild A Bridge.\u201d Lyrics run the gamut from tender personal pathos (\u201cFor Now,\u201d \u201cThank You\u201d) to timely political and social narratives (\u201cTurn Away,\u201d \u201cWhere I Belong\u201d). Album producer\/bassist Jon Evans is well known for his years recording and touring with Tori Amos and Third Eye Blind. Two-time Grammy winners The Turtle Island String Quartet contribute remarkable talents on two songs. Also appearing are drummers Scott Amendola (Charlie Hunter), L.A. studio ace MB Gordy (Frank Zappa, Green Day, Bill Withers), tabla virtuoso Ty Burhoe, violinist Mads Tolling (Stanley Clarke) and vocalists Ashling Cole (Prince) and Julianna Graffagna (Kitka).<\/div>\n
