This is her legacy, don't you think? I don't know who else could make this song & video come to life the way Amy did.
Amy herself said first and foremost it is a song written about her breakup with Blake after he went back to his ex, but is intentionally written to be interpreted as speaking about struggles with depression and heroin, which coincided with the emptiness of the breakup.💔
Thanks for this reaction Cliff, I would love to see you do more of Amy's songs in the future.💞💖💞
No fuck no shut the fuck up it was about depression this album came out in 2006 she wasn’t on drugs til may 2007 it wasn’t about drugs she was a severe depressive and had broke up with Blake she went into a massive depression and was drinking shit tons
no, she wrote when her daughter died and the recordings from the original song are actually from her daughter's funeral....she had a very difficult life, she coped with the funeral relatively well, but reality set in after that and Amy collapsed and that's the end of it
@@user-mk9mo7rk7m Everything I wrote previously was taken from an interview I watched, Amy herself said this was why she wrote Back to Black. Amy never had children and due to her bulimia found it difficult to conceive, that is why she wanted to adopt a young girl called Dannika, but sadly died before Amy could do so.
@@user-mk9mo7rk7m who’s daughter Amy never had kids what the fuck u on about
@@user-mk9mo7rk7m Amy never had children
Back to black….back to depression after Blake left her! The burial of the tiny box is her….he kills her bit by bit and they are the bits she bury’s in her video ❤
The tombstone actually reads "Here Lies the Heart of Amy Winehouse" 💔💔
they censored the lyric "you love blow and i love puff"
"They tried to make me go to Rehab But I said no, no, no.......They tried to make me go to Rehab But I won't go, go, go" I find these lyrics to her song truly heartbreaking
The whole album served as a diary from or of her life. At the end of the original video it said RIP the heart of Amy Winehouse. But that part was removed after she died (I believe).
"You Know I'm No Good" is a must next! 🙏
From what has been said while she was alive and when she died, her and her boyfriend each had their addictions ("You like blow and I love puff") and seemed to eb each other's enablers. This song is definitely about using addictions to deal with the pain of losing a relationship...
Definitely more Amy Winehouse. She was very compelling artist that was layered and beguiling. She's worth it! ❤
Her lyrics should always be read like that , there is nothing superficial about Amy .great reaction.
Winston Churchill called his depressive phases The Black Dog Comes Back. For me, it's a song about depression.
Try her song Tears Dry On Their Own. It's another song off the same album.
Yesssss !!! I commented the same thing lol !!! One of my all time favs by Amy ❤
You hit it on the head with the drug references
No it wasn’t about drugs it was about her depression after her ex went back to his girlfriend 🙄🙄🙄
Yes!!! More Amy Winehouse and Cranberries!!!
I love love love this song. On my regular rotation. Some people think Back to Black may mean, back to black tar H, or just in general, back to black, depression, etc. She definitely had her struggles, but her music is so strong!
Such an amazing song!!!! RIP AW
Now you gotta check out her singing this live!!!! ❤🔥
R.I.P. sweet Amy 💔 She was burying her broken heart😢The headstone read 'Here Lies The Heart Of Amy Winehouse', but it was removed after her sudden death. She battled bulimia in her teens/20's, alcoholism/drug addiction in her 20's. When she wrote 'Back to Black' her biggest vice was alcohol & weed (''You love blow, and I love puff"); she spiraled downwards and was in a deep depression ('I go back to black'), drinking everyday - but when she got sober, she blew up worldwide with Back To Black (her 2nd album) & was relatively 'healthy'. Then the scumbag that destroyed her (‘Back To Black’ is about him) went back to her when she released the album & used her as a meal ticket. That's when she went really downhill & got into hard drugs with him - she married him, she adored him.....but he was so toxic & tragically she paid the price for loving him.
The entire 'Back To Black' Album is a MASTERPIECE.....It literally saved my life....Amy got me through one of my darkest depressions - I'm forever indebted to her.... She had that incredibly unique gift of being able to connect with those who were in pain - her lyrics, her music but combine that with her amazing voice and you have a LEGENDARY artist....gone far too soon....this world & fame was too much for her to cope with.
I will never forget the day she died - 23-07-11...I couldn't even listen to her music for over 6 months, and I still cry for her.....she was my Muse.
I love her acoustic version of 'Back To Black' live from Dingle - flawless! Also, listen to ‘Love is A Losing Game’, ‘You know I'm No Good’, ‘Rehab’, 'Me & Mr Jones' and a couple of covers - ‘To Know Him Is To Love Him’ or Hathaway's 'I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know' - WOW - mesmerising, haunting and such emotive vocals...basically what she did best.
❤🧡💛💚💙💜🖤BTW Her 1st album 'Frank' is also amazing - she was only 19.
I hope she is finally at peace🖤🌹
One of my favorite songs. I also love her song REHAB.
Hi Cliff, thank you for the Cranberries reaction yesterday. Amy Winehouse was a great singer. Unfortunately she joined club 27 - artists dying a the age of 27 ( Curt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin ).
Jim Morrison, can’t name them all but he was a top one too
Her life and situations surrounding her death were tragic. Please react to more of her. I also recommend reacting to a documentary of her too.
I was a fan before she passed, and always thought she was also referring to other struggles in her life as well. ❤ Great catch.
Dude, you are a breath of fresh air on the Tube. Much respect to you!
its obvious she is singing about drugs she literally mentions puff and blow in the lyrics!
She's very Deep and Original.
The entirety of the Back to Black album is one of the most important works of pop in the last 25 years. Listening to this masterpiece always saddens me a bit because of what was lost and what could've been. She just wasn't ready to be such a public figure at this point and it cost her her life.
Back to Black was mostly produced by Mark Ronson, and the band was The Dap-Kings, who also backed the late soul star Sharon Jones.
Amy was an AMAZING lyricist!! This whole album was written off the back of her breakups w that one guy . He absolutely destroyed her imo n it's so sad 🥺. Please check out TEARS DRY ON THEIR OWN !! Another amazing song from this album !!! RIP Amy ❤
Not true. Some of the songs are about a different boyfriend. For example Me And Mr Jones where she says "asides from Sammy you're my best black Jew"
she wrote this song, when her daughter died and the recordings from the original song are actually from her daughter's funeral....she had a very difficult life, she coped with the funeral relatively well, but reality set in after that and Amy collapsed and that's the end of it
I miss her... I listened to her two albums like crazy.
Beautiful song by a beautiful artist, love your reaction ❤
Angelina sang this when she was 10 with the Kork Orchestra. She has also just had her first on stage appearance in Los Vegas, it was just her. Amy did have a very sad life and she did take her own life. She was in love with someone who was on drugs she tried very hard to get away from him. Angelina loves Amy and is very often compared to her. Blessings to you from a 77 year old gran from South Africa. I miss not hearing your reactions.
Amy did not take her own life. She died from cardiac arrest after alcohol poisoning.
more pls
Great reaction Cliff, you went far beyond the surface level. Especially after your interpretation here you should listen to "Rehab"
The way I feel and hear the lyrics is that she's commenting on her relationship with Blake, drugs, and relationships as a whole. She struggled in her romantic relationships with men and this song is about repeating patterns. She's choosing the wrong thing (drugs) when others (relationships/Blake) go sour. She's on a see-saw of balancing and it isn't working out for either person. Big fan of Amy, may her memory be for a blessing
'You go back to her, I go back to BLACK'. Black can also mean darkness, depression, a very sad place. And I suppose, she's burying her heart in that little box. Does it reference drugs? Personally, it had that meaning as well as people in pain often look to substances to escape. She did say "you love BLOW and I love PUFF' so cocaine and weed.
Hey, the Amy documentary is excellent.
Yes, I think it’s also about drugs. She says you love blow and I love puff. She was with this musician who was really messed up with drugs and I think that’s how she got into drugs herself, but from the top of my head I am not 100 % sure. She was Super talented, sweet and funny. It’s such a shame, so young!! R.I.P angel: I bet you are making music with the greats that left before and after you. Chris Cornell, Elvis, Jeff Buckley, Prince, Freddie Mercury, George Michael, David Bowie and sooo many more.
Blake wasn't a musician.
she's singing about her life
That was her burying her broken heart 💔
All you have to do is look at her releases to know that Amy was quite troubled through her career. I recently watched a documentary that was so heartbreaking, it always seemed to me that she wasnt ever truly comfortable with her success, she definitely had issues with her family and her love interests. The drugs and alcohol really became destructive towards the end, all played out on a public stage. I feel so sad that she didn't seem to have the right management to handle the paparazzi. You should look into, really what not to do when dealing with fame.
Amy”s broken heart 💔
Her documentary blew my mind, she was such a legend. Unfortunately her catalog is very small, her time came too soon... great reaction Cliff! She only had 2 studio albums, Back to Black was the second and completely about her breakup with Blake
Acoustic version I fantastic
Great video man! would really recommend you to watch the documentary “Amy” to really get to know her and her life.
You got it right. Poor wee soul.
Damn, I have heard her music before but never really appreciated it until she was gone already
I always see the ‘black’ as depression, and everything that comes with that if you an addict.
I love this woman so much! Enjoying that you're checking out her music. Such a loss. She was amazing! I always thought she was referring to a relationship and after her passing, drugs. Thought I was reading too much into it. RIP Amy
I love my músic back to black❤❤ and Amy winehouse 🥺😔😔🖤🖤
Just for some added context around the meaning of this song, the drug references that you got from it is a personal interpretation, but Amy described "black" as being a metaphor for depression and returning to a bleak state of mind. Amy's battle with hard drugs didn't actually begin until after this song was written and released, although she already had developed issues with alcohol by this point. Contrary to popular belief, her time using hard drugs was relatively short compared to how people remember it in retrospect as it was so widely covered in the press that it became synonymous with her public image. She was actually only using hard drugs for around 18 months in 2007-2008, after that she defeated that addiction but ultimately her dependence on alcohol was the one that took her. Fantastic artist and great lyricism, she will always be missed.
cliff love the reactions amy is one of my wifes favorites also asked a few times for some marlyn manson since u love lyrics so much hope u get too him soon
RIP Amy...
I agree; the song has doubles and triples. She knew her issues with substances, relationships, and deeper emotional problems.
I read an interview she gave within a few months before she died. The writer stated that her house was a disaster (messy, cluttered) and she simply didn't care.
I have an artist who I think you might be interested in. He is not rap but he’s influenced a lot of hip-hop songs. His name is Bobby Caldwell and he died a year ago tomorrow. Please if you could react to his breakout soul on the video, please don’t look him up beforehand because you’ll see why when you watch the video. You’ll also recognise the song. He wasn’t hip-hop, but he did influence a lot of it.
You are so right I grow up with this and yes it's still going on. My heart is broken. What I saw as child people blown up extra and hundreds of us , now in their 40s with ptsd or and both Addiction and trauma . Like I said God bless all families and people hurt in war not just Belfast but all over the world 🙏 ❤xx
So Good.
Amazing voice and songwriting. Love her ❤
A truly stunning artist. Amy was a very troubled person...and left us FAR too early!
The unedited song has the lyrics “you love blow, and I love puff” that should clear you in on the drug references!
As someone who grew up in the same area as Amy, just be careful around people who brag about how they were friends with Amy. There's a good chance they are not good people.
❤❤❤
Amy Winehouse died at the age of 27 from alcohol poisoning in 2011 in London. She was said to be bulimic and suffered from mental illness, drug addiction and substance abuse.
I share the same sentiment - her artistry is phenomenal, but you hear her music in a new way now, and there's almost no way for it not to be haunting. Mind blown on the "tread a troubled track" lyric - I caught the obvious (like everyone) about her relationship/life, and then thought of track lines you get from IV drugs as a possible dual meaning, but even as a musician I never connected the possible third meaning of laying down a troubled MUSIC track. Cliff, man, thank you for keeping this old fart's brain young-ish. (I mean, okay, I'm not ancient, but any chance of having a "wild night" was gone about a decade ago. :) )
Another fantastic Amy song is Tears Dry On Their Own
Yes everyone is seeing the same thing in the lyrics, that's why it has over a billion views.
Yes, yes there was for quite som3 5ime. Amy Wineho7s4 was a tortured soul who more than once tried to or at least had others who cared about her try pushibg her to rehab and sobriety but even though she had a large support group they couldn't make her getting clean and healthy a thing that lasted long term. She was a unique singing talent. Her voice and style oozed like melting butter on hot rolls, but not just any hot rolls ,these were spscial, only after someone dropped these rolls where they collected salt ,
grit and grime of the city, from the many different ones who immigrated and assimilated over the past generations who gave some of their blood sweat and tears that made th3 gritty part collected into the sweet hot rolls and butter that become something at least in from plac3s like 9v3r ti.e left a bit of th3ir 92n bl9od sweat and tears dying grit and in sandy grit and the baker decided to not scrap th3m and inst3ad brush off some of the grit and offer them up to customers as if they were perfect. Amazingly, the hot rolls melting butter and the grittyness of the city, a place where one finds the same island flavor in places such as such as the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Bahammas, and more Amy had a bit of all thos3 rolled up in her singing style. such along with a gritty Bronx New York sultry and smoky vibe to her it felt as if she shared space with the speedier side, the back alley bars. The dives that nobody will adm8t t9 going to
💜💜💜
My interpretation is the same as yours. 6 years clean and sober, but I can RELATE to this song too well. RIP Amy 🙏 ❤
And I agree: there's no light without dark. Life is like a heartbeat uwith highs and lows, but flatline too long, you're dead!
I believe it's around a relationship but is meant to have the double meaning of heroin. "You go back to her, and I go back to black" you leave me, I get depressed and go back to the drugs. That's how I see it. Im a heroin addict myself.
❤❤❤❤❤ this song
A penny was used as a weight in the uk for drugs on the scales
Nickel here in the states. I’ve heard of that before too though. I didn’t want to put my foot in my mouth on that one.
It was used to weigh an eighth of an ounce normally used for weighing up hash 😂 which we used to buy stuff called black and its also called puff over here I definitely think it's about smoking hash tbh
@@CliffBeatsOfficial also used by djs on the stylus of a technics turntable for better tracking
@@fasttrack70 Agreed. She wasn't in to hard drugs when this was written/recorded. She was an alcoholic and loved her weed, but wasn't into hard drugs until after this album was released. Then her scumbag ex came back to her for the fame/money and that's when she actually got into hard stuff i.e. crack & heroin. It was actually alcohol that killed her - she'd been off hard drugs for over a year when she died. But the damage was already done to her body from addiction.....a weekend of binge drinking killed her 💔

“You know i’m no good” next pls!
Please check out Karise Edens version of this. Her voice is a cross between janis joplin and Amy.
She was the first winner of the voice Australia 🇦🇺 absolutely exquisite & raw
Watch some of her duets with Tony Bennett
And yet I hear treading a troubled (train) track - trainwreck, etc. that many meanings in so many verses just melts me & kills me too
Watch the documentary!
theres a girl i know in my town she has played with ren shes called ruby j very influenced by amy winehouse great voice too
Check out Townes Van Zandt “To live is to Fly”. I think you would appreciate him, A true Texas poet singer songwriter of the highest caliber. Start with the Live at “The Old Quarter” 🙏🏽. His life story is equally felt.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Amy did say the somg was about her break up with her ex Blake and their shared issues with drugs and alcohol
U nailed it.
I’m sure there are some drug and booze references in Back To Black, but it’s best not to look at it like a riddle to get stuck on
I don't think you're wrong. There are a ton of implied meanings and a definite drug theme underlying the lyrics.
I'll be honest, I didn't catch all those doubles (and very much agree with the drug innuendos), but whether actually referring to DRUGS or just that relationships with some people can be LIKE a drug is probably open to interpretation. Although, with all these drug references I will say, I'm a little more curious now, knowing it was on Glee...some heavy shit to introduce to young minds.
To be fair it was more of a tribute sort of thing. The majority of the public just assume it’s about heartbreak rather than drug. Or course they get the blow and puff reference but the entire song in general is a 60’s inspired heartbreak ballad with modern lyrics. I doubt they were trynna introduce drug problems in glee with this song. The woman who plays Santana sounded a lot like Amy and fans often mentioned it so after she died they did “Back to Black” and “Valerie”.
The second line of the song has been censored............
you would have known this song it was released over ten years ago so this wouldn't be your first time
You are over analysing, “You like blow and I like puff” is a reference to drugs, but I see no cryptic references elsewhere.
A lot of angst in her voice and lyrics. Gone too soon.
If you like Amy check out ZZ Ward
I think you are so used to reacting to rap you see doubles, triples everywhere, and you could well be right. I write poetry, and used it initially to 'hide' my real feelings from prying eyes, hidden in plain sight
❤
Seems to be about a couple with addictions to me. The man left the woman for an ex or kept cheating on her with an ex, and she does drugs to cope with the pain, almost certain he'll come back to her again eventually... but there's a lack of certainty there.
Take at 6 in morning by ice t
Mark ronson wrote the piano intro
Which I imagine was inspired by the intro of “Baby love” by Diana Ross & The Supremes.
One of her best songs and such a waste of talent, RIP Amy
It's about them both having toxic relationships with addiction. Him puff her black 😢
No, it’s blow for him and puff for her, at that time.
People it's about drugs!!! Listen to the words
Please check out Michael Bubl’e. I’d recommend the song Everything but he’s an amazing artist with plenty of great tracks.
She ment them all
Amy is amazing for sure, however all she did was bring back an old classic style of music into a world that has lost connection with how good music once was.
The live version is 1000000 times better tbh
FIRST TIME ?????? YOU LIVE IN A CAVE ??? She died in 2011!!!
