for amy
it’s been almost a week since amy winehouse died and i think the reality has just hit me. there won’t be any new amy music. i remember the first time i ever heard her voice…it was unlike anything i had ever heard before and it changed my life. there was a period of my life that lasted months when back to black was the only record i listened to. amy’s powerful and frighteningly beautiful voice poured out of her soul, through my ears and into my own little heart. i listened to those songs over and over until they were engrained in my mind. her troubled life was bittersweet. she channeled her pain into musical genius. i know that beneath the demons was a beautiful person and it’s devastating that she couldn’t fight them off for good.
rest in peace amy. thank you for sharing your brilliance with the world. your music will live forever ♥
