Having only known about Amy Winehouse because of her passing back in 2011, I have been curious for a very long time about her music. Heather Pinkston, my fabulous Patreon, finally pushed me to check her out. This is my first time hearing Back to Black from the album of the same name.

One day better, one worse. Still work in progress... If Amy could have that option still too, sad that it ain't so...
Amy whinehouse is a Unicorn who choose the way we do not advocate my love.I have that Album on Vinyl.
Black is slang for heroine
Worst thing? She was crying for help the best way she knew how: Through song and everyone either laughed it up/about her or ignored her. Truly sad.
Her song “rehab” says it all
Yet still an anthem to some of us. If I ever give up seeking new perspectives and horizons, shoot me there and then. Recreational drugs have a place.
@@willcool713 everything in moderation and prohibition never works. The Song is more about the fear of what is inside of the substance-abuse fog.
She was pure gold. Such a phenomenal talent, burnt from inside out.
I guess people are feeling uncomfortable listening to her music, in a society that heavily promotes this "do what you want, no boundaries, no limits". That girl is there to remind to us all that there is a price to be paid and that makes so many people to just avoid listening to her.
The flame that burns twice as bright burns twice as fast.
SPOT ON. FIRST TIME I HEARD/SAW AMY WINEHOUSE VIDEO,BACK TO BLACK. I PRETTY MUCH WAS LIKE NO. THIS IS UNCOMFORTABLE., BUT OF COURSE THAT WAS BECAUSE I "KNEW" WHAT HER MUSIC WAS ABOUT. I CAN NOT GET ENOUGH OF HER. INDEED PRICES ARE TO BE PAID. WE SEE THIS AROUND THE WORLD TODAY. PRETTY FUCKING HOPELESS. WHEN HOPE IS ALL YOU HAVE.
Hello sunshine. Firstly, power to you. Secondly, I weep every time I hear Amy sing. I lived not far from her in the mid 2000s, and regularly saw her in the pubs in Camden. She lit up the room when she walked in, and a strange quiet descended on Camden the day we heard she passed. Such a shame that nobody was there for her. She was surrounded by vultures and leeches. A beautiful talent snatched from the world.
You make a lot of sense, which I didn't realise I needed to hear.
I have a poster of her grammy win presented by Tony Bennett. I framed it with red roses, which amy wore in her iconic hairstyle for good luck. I am so stoked they made a biopic of her! I am hesitant to see it but I am sure she would have been so happy to get the recognition!
Great reaction. Subscribed. Amy was a rare gem. This is my one of my favourite songs of hers. Another is 'Love is a Losing Game', but her whole back-catalogue is amazing. Lots of Love from the UK 💜 -x-
As a rap music fan Amy Winehouse has been one of the very few singers who touched deep into me
Well she was a massive hip hop fan herself and good friends with many rappers. Indeed, her albums were produced by two very talented hip hop producers, Salaam Remi and Mark Ronson.
I call on patrons and subscribers to request 1 of 4 spectacular songs for Amanda to react to. All are perfect for her channel. Pink - Perfect (the clean version), Alter Bridge - Blackbird, Tremonti - Marching in Time, Shinedown - Monsters. All offer a lot to discuss. Thanks
Found your channel tonight.. listened to two reactions.. immediately subscribed.. your insights are inspiring!!
Through all of her mental health and addiction struggles, I always admired her honesty. She told her story in her music, and she was so talented. If your looking for more of that honesty and good mental health advocacy, Tori Amos is great for that.
Oh yes I adore both Amy and Tori x
back to black is back to darkness ,depression ... she said in an interview that its humour and also true lol.... amy never gets the credit for her writing .. she is a poet ...love is a losing game is a masterpiece... .. at the end she has the funeral for her heart ... !
Rest in Peace Amy
Speaking of Black, have you ever had a listen to Pearl Jam’s Black? It’s a masterpiece. It’s about how one guys world just ends due to a breakup, rejection. It’s up there with Metallica for exploring the darkness. Don’t even do a video, just go listen but take a deep breath first.
it´s a pity we loose such a great voice
My take on it, knowing what we know about amy today... The whole song is a metaphor about addiction.
That too, but it’s primarily based on her relationship with then boyfriend and later husband Blake Fielder Civil. She went “Back To Black” as a metaphor to her depression and drinking issues. A lot of people assume she was talking about drugs, but she didn’t consume hard drugs until she got back with him and they got married.
He got her into hard drugs during that period of time, because he himself was a heavy drug addict who only went back with her after the sudden success of her album Back To Black. She was in love with him and was too blind too see how badly she was being manipulated and hurt by him. It’s a very sad story.
Please enjoy the movie, she was a lot to me and my lil group.
God bless this talent, she wasn't for this world xx
Goosebumps
I have been in a relationship that was on and off because she had too many bad habits and could not leave the drama alone. I kept going back because I wanted to help, but I finally realized I couldn’t keep both of us afloat. I had to let go, or sink with her. One of the most painful decisions I’ve ever made.
She was so talented! This is sad and reminds me a little of Chester Bennington. Their lyrics were them screaming for help.
I had to subscribe when you made the poop analogy.
Well Amanda my happy bank is getting fuller. No more flashbacks and now the nightmares I have every night are not so vivid. I had one about my best friend getting wasted just a few feet away from me just outside Konar Afghanistan. I did not wake up with the sweats or yelling. Instead I woke with tears in my eyes because I miss him and the other guys I knew that died in that damn war. I am having normal emotions again for once. I now have more hope that these demons that have been in my head for almost 12 years are going back to Afghanistan where they belong!! The demons are dying off and I am starting to feel human again. Big hug little sister!!!
SSG. Rick James U.S. Army (Ret.) 11 Bravo!!!
I am literally sitting here crying on my keyboard, Rick. I am SO proud of you for holding on and am SO happy to hear about all of this progress! You will be SUCH a valuable story of hope for others who have seen battle.
Thanks for your service mate. Vale to the fallen.
❤
Y la canción?
Si si claro
I appreciate where you're coming from and your recommendations are very good BUT you gave very little attention to Amy's amazing talent as a singer/artist. Her beautiful voice, amazing delivery, intention, and depth in her performance. Please listen to more of her music. She had problems but her music was a gift to the world.
I don't focus as much on the vocal range or delivery and such as there are many channels that do that. I specifically use music more to start a mental health conversation 😊
You know that I'm no good is quite similar to back to black
The song is about she relapse with herion after a breakup and talking about life is like a pipe and im a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside is a street term for a piece of crack cocaine . Black is a term for black tar herion is very deep
When she wrote the song she hadn't tried heroin yet.
Nice motivation for the channel.
Might I recommend, The Fisher King, as a great movie for bringing up all sorts of deep and relevant topics of mental and social health. Brilliant, forgotten gem, imo.
Peace.
Después de un año te enteras
Interesting reaction. What about love? When you love someone it can be very hard to let go.
Of course it can. I got divorced last year. Not because I didn't love him. That divorce was the biggest and most selfless act of love I could muster. Because I knew he wasn't happy and he deserved to be. Nothing I did was making him happy. In the end, we love each other more now, as friends, and can express that love in a much healthier way. We're both better off now. You can love someone without being with them. You can love someone from afar if necessary.
Valerie is a fantastic song if you want to listen to more Amy Winehouse.
A quien entrrieran?
Addiction is a symptom not a cause. Back to black for me is back to depression
Listen to “rehab”it’s too bad she made the her decision to join the (27 club)
My dear, not everyone have the same feelings
Of course!
RIP
Ah qien entirran es a ella
Thank you. Amy's music resonates with me. I tried to kill myself in 2014 cos of my ex. Yes - settling for someone who was a narc tbh. My eyes have been so opened now.
So glad you're still here and you know now that you deserve better!
Amanda, this is Adam again. Wish I had away to speak privately with you, but it is what it is. It's dark over here, but the light you give off helps a weary soul. You are doing a great service. I'm not sure if you've heard Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss. If not, it's a good insight to my state of mind.
My email is in the desciption :)
Such a shame she’s dead! Such a talent like Kirt Cobain. 😐😐
Y te lo crees
u should check out the acoustic version to this and realise what a natural talent she was and so sad she passed way too soon, such a tragic life
All good.
However, what did you think of the song?
God love her, Amy's classic album Back To Black was full of this stuff - can't live with them can't live without. Thank God I got out of it, sadly she didn't in the sense that it still affected her. RIP to such a talented singer/songwriter.
R.I.P to our Camden girl. We love you AMY.
Hi Amanda, I have been following your music reactions for some time and do enjoy them.
I have two recommendations for songs that do not pull any punches in hammering their messages home.
The first one is Light me up by Kobra and the Lotus (ua-cam.com/video/HRfSEEtzxug/v-deo.html).
It's about child bullying and neglect. Prepare a box of tissues, a box of chocolates and a bottle of red wine for treatment. Play to the very end for messages by the band.
It's also a test. People who do not feel this song or make silly comments like "other kids have it worse" are not to be trusted and best avoided.
The second one is Eden by Battle Beast (ua-cam.com/video/_hzssKb9940/v-deo.html).
They're taking a stand for battered/abused women. And of course the silly, shallow part of humanity that didn't get the message had nothing better to comment than "Ew!" on the woman peeling off her scars. Strong messages do require strong images. On a lighter note: In the face of their singer Noora certain "men" will certainly experience shrinkage.
I do hope you will in due course of time get around to these two videos.
I loved the way you broke the tension of the dark mood at the end of the song by telling us how getting back together with an ex is like trying to put the poop back in! LOL Please consider reacting to 13-year-old Grace Vandewaal singing her original "Darkness Keeps Chasing Me". (She's normally very upbeat and goofy but sometimes darkness chases all of us!)
Tragic would be the only word i could think of to describe Amy Winehouse.
Life is a journey forward.
Lol i enjoyed this reaction
Tu te crees lo que dices
In a way, BLUR´s "No Distance Left To Run" would make a nice counterpart to Amy´s take on a relationship.
First, wow, agreed not the voice I expected. What a voice. Second, I adore your unfiltered passion in these videos. Third, I can’t understand why women go back, and this is why fathers and brothers go beat the crap out of those guys.
Song reaction please, Whole by Flaw. It’s old but a good one.
Please react to Citizen Soldier - Irreplaceable
For all her looks and demeanour....she was so so fragile.....wore her heart on her sleeve, and was taken advantage of as a result.
What do you mean she was/ is and always will be beautiful
Have a listen to kate bush and peter Gabriel's don't give up it always chases away 'the black dog' .
Nope wen she wrote the song and wen it was released in 2006 she didn’t touch hard core drugs..I.e heroin and shit that wasn’t until around may 2007 that she started doing drugs might of been summer 2007
You’ve been missing outttttt
Please listen sena şener back to black cover
Tori Amos. "Crucify" or "Me and a Gun"
Beth Hart, Am I the One, live . . .
Beth made it through . . .
Huge loss.
