Although Amy Winehouse like Whitney made certain decisions and wrong choices in her life that led her to live a destructive life, she has sang some pretty cool music. The things i admire most about her lyrics is that they are brutally honest and they have stories behind them. Like her song 'What is it about men' she talks about her parents broken marriage and how it affected her to a point that she (in her words) says she'll take the wrong man as naturally as she sings. The other of my favourite song is 'You know am no good' where she is brutally honest to a guy about all her weakness and how she knows her behaviour hurts him. The video is even more sad than the lyrics. The song sounds like the theme song for the tv series 'Diary of a call girl'.
Below is also a great song which was given to Amy winehouse and she sang it beautifully. It was written by a man from the UK who had gone to America and met some lady who later on got into trouble for drunk driving, so now he is back in the UK and thinking about the girl, wondering what she is doing(did she pay the fine?, did she get a good lawyer? did she change the colour of her hair?)and if she could come over because he really wants to see her. Now you see if you don't know the story behind most of her songs it is really hard to understand where she is going with the lyrics.Anyways have a listen and tell me what you think!
