FIRST TIME HEARING Amy Winehouse - Back To Black REACTION

[@Slicker66]

I lived a few minutes walk from where Amy lived in Camden Sq. Day after she died I went to leave some flowers outside her house. There were several hundred other fans outside singing her songs, smoking weed, drinking vodka etc. Then her neighbour opened an upstairs window, put a speaker on the ledge and played this song really loud. The sound of the wailing , screaming, crying will stay with me forever. It was terribly sad but beautiful too. How we loved the Queen of Camden. x

I visited the square outside her home the day after too & remember her neighbour sitting upstairs at their desk playing her music too, with a window open It was so nice seeing all the artwork & candles & notes people had left all over outside across the street, with people paying their respects to this very talented artist 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@andreamerciar3779]

I love that song, one of my all-time favourites. Amy had such an incredible voice, so so sad that she's gone. Just devastating how she died, and I think she didn't have the support she needed to make it through to the other side of her addictions . . . I know that without the heartbreak, she would not have written those beautiful songs, but her husband was a malign influence on her . . .

[@InconvenientTruth50]

Black represents her depression. When her boyfriend went back to his ex she went back to black(depression, drugs, alcoholism). The funeral is her own. Apparently filming this brought out her anxiety on set because she knew she was self destructive and this could and did become her final outcome.

[@EchoRider515]

@Kathrin Kleinknecht she did not get into hard drugs UNTIL Blake. HE introduced her to them!

[@farrahlynne7121]

Yeah, she used the word “black” frequently to reference her mood And depression and mental and emotional pain. I guess for her going to “black” was a place within herself. This is about heartbreak. He goes back to her (the other woman) and so she goes back to black, as in back to the depression and misery and her old ways. In real life she struggled with severe depression alcoholism and addiction and ultimately she lost her life to the battle at age 27. There’s an interview where she admits that she is self destructive by nature and it will probably be her demise. I actually cried when I saw on the news the day they found she had passed away, maybe bc of the pain I know that must’ve been in & she talked Of in interviews as well as her songs and you can hear it in her voice and songs & the fact she died so young like many other icons just hit me hard. Maybe bc I could relate to some of the things she dealt with too. She was so beautiful and unique. An amazing talent style & voice that still gives you chills when you listen to her music.

Yes, I knew who M is and had first heard his music back in like 1999/2000, but blew him off as not relevant for me. WRONG! I can now appreciate that M is the GOAT, if for no other reason than The Monster which really spoke to me. So I have my grandchildren tripping when they come through the door and hear me listening to the lastest banger from him, Billy Eilish! Or maybe SnoThaProject! So the dark side of Amy Winehouse still really touches me!

[@DD-bj5yp]

CreamintheCoffee Sorry. But at least you know someone actually cares about how awesome the experience was to you. 😀. Amy was magic sand to me and I remember how and where I was the first time I heard the album. Crazy how powerful music. And I’m an old head too, hehe. Good stuff is good stuff.

[@creaminthecoffee293]

@@DD-bj5yp Thanks for the love! Truer words have never been spoken --"Amy was magic sand...." To coincide with that, upon giving this album its first play I felt as if I trapped lightening in a bottle -- and not just Georgia Moonshine! LOL!!!

[@j.t.3798]

Wow! Great reaction, bro. She got me too. Just something different, mysterious, sexy about this amazing talent. She got it!

[@purplepeopleeater1009]

Black in this case is depression. When she repeats "black..." towards the end to me the timing is like the chiming of the church bells. Beautiful.

Please do Stevie Nicks singing Rhiannon, the 1976 concert recording. Or Patti Smith doing "Gloria".

[@helengraves7850]

Oh, man, Patti!! These guys need some Patti in their lives. I agree about "Gloria" even though "Because the Night" is super-accessible. My own personal favorite, from her early work, is "Ain't It Strange," but I don't know that I'd tell anyone to start with Radio Ethiopia.

[@lindawalker161]

Patti Smith "Gloria" incredible! Also "People Got the Power" and "Wing".

[@carriebohlmann5741]

Yes! Rhiannon!

[@HalfShelli]

Mick Fleetwood called Stevie’s live performances of “Rhiannon” back in those years like “exorcisms”. Off the damn charts.

[@jacquelinegros4840]

Amy’s voice speaks to your soul. I cry when I hear this song.

Hey, man. My recommendation is Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy. When Nirvana were creating grunge music in America, Massive Attack were making the new genre trip-hop in the UK. Think you'll love the vibe.

I had not listened to Amy until after she was gone at the tender age of 27 - she was very talented - Vices they sneak up on u and u b gone - ain't worth it -

[@billyt9830]

I love Amy Winehouse. Gone too soon. Suggestion for Women on Wednesday: check out Nina Simone - Four Women and Shirley Bassey - Goldfinger. Amazing voices from legends who opened the door to many of today's young female singer/song writers.

[@Dion_Mustard]

Shirley Bassey = Legend

[@ellemnop127]

I second Four Women!

I am from the USA . She is One of my favorite singers of all times. It makes me so sad that she is gone but never forgotten i watched her documentary I miss you queen of soul and jazz

Exactly. Hand to your heart as soon as she starts singing. ♥️ RIP Amy

Check out Kimbra “Settle Down” or any of her songs. Jazz style. She’s the girl in Gotye “Somebody that I used to know”

Listen to "Goldmine"

And when she was gone, we all went back to black, missing that phenomenal talent of hers.

[@meidasdella8747]

I love the reactions you two have to hearing musicians for the first time. I grew up listening to my parents country & western music, and my Motown, blues, and rock. What kind of music was played in your home when you were growing up. Not what music you were in to, but others in your home.

[@bangmon1000]

Love her music. Reminds me of soul music from the late 60's and early 70's, especially Tears Dry on Their Own.

[@wandahall7738]

Amy's true life broken heart. Miss her!

[@gibsongirl2100]

She reminds me a little of Billie Holiday - that voice, smoky and full of pain. RIP, Amy.

[@TheKatiecoxx]

You should really watch the documentary “Amy” to appreciate her genius, artistry, and tragic life. Amy is truly timeless and we were robbed of such a beautiful, tortured, and talented souls. RIP Amy

[@ButacuPpucatuB]

Amy sang so soulfully. She really put all her heart and soul in her songs. I certainly miss her. We never got to really have all of her music. There was so much more she was meant to sing. But she's in heaven now singing with the angels. Thanks for choosing Amy!!!

[@anitakelly5551]

Every time I hear the powerful and moving voice of Amy Winehouse, I am overcome with the sadness of the life she seemed unable to save. Many others have done the same thing but the reason Amy is different for me is because you could almost write her ending long before it happened so we watched helplessly as it played out in agonizingly slow motion through her songs with all the pain so raw and apparent until it all ended just the way we knew it would.

[@jennifergraham5106]

She's basically saying without him she's dead inside.
