What does the black bird represent?

[Shemaya]

That's a great song!

Here's another great version:

Bobby McFerrin Blackbird

The song gives me the sense of diving into the muck of unconscious, the dark night....and emerging free and light.

I think I'm going to get a jimbay for Christmas and i'll drum along Actually, it's kind of autobiographical in a way. I am emerging after a dive into the deep, lots of energy moving with me the last month or two or three.
