Back to Black
Amy Winehouse
I had another song picked out for today, but that was before Amy Winehouse died and it felt fitting to have a little tribute to her memory. I picked this song because of its somber melody. I also feel her voice is showcased beautifully. Her life and its end is such a tragic story. I know how addiction and mental health issues can plague artistic circles -- esp. writers and musicians, the groups I gravitate towards. And while hard knocks can provide an artist with a reservoir of inspiration (it has in my personal experience--gave me a reason to write), many times, they just catapult an artist down a slippery slope. It always saddens me when I hear of talented people succombing to their demons -- it's such a waste of human potential. Anyway, enjoy this song and pray that Amy is at peace now.
i love her music!
