Celebrity Central; Amy Winehouse

Amy Jade Winehouse (14 September 1983 – 23 July 2011) was an English singer-songwriter known for her great vocals, eclectic mix of musical genres including R&B, soul and jazz. She is one of the most successful Britons in Hollywood, after being nominated for six Grammy Awards and winning five of them, in one night. Winehouse’s problems with drug and alcohol abuse, violence, and her self-destructive behaviour were regular tabloid news from 2007 until her death. In 2008, she faced a series of health complications that threatened both her career and her life. Winehouse died at the age of 27 on Saturday, 23 July 2011, at her home in London. Police have said that the cause of her death is “as yet unexplained”. Winehouse’s family and friends attended her funeral on 26 July 2011. She was later cremated at Golders Green Crematorium. Below are the lyrics of one of her most played songs, ‘Tears dry on their own’. Song; Tears dry on their own s a darkness that we knew,And this regret I had to get accustomed to,Once it was so right,When we were at our high,Waiting for you in the hotel at night,I knew I hadn’t met my match,But every moment we could snatch,I don’t know why I got so attached,It’s my responsibility,And you don’t owe nothing to me,But to walk away I have no capacity He walks away,The sun goes down,He takes the day but I’m grown,And in this grey, in this blue shadeMy tears dry on their own, I don’t understand,Why do I stress A man,When there’s so many better things at hand,We could a never had it all,We had to hit a wall,So this is inevitable withdrawal,Even if I stop wanting you,A Perspective pushes thru,I’ll be some next man’s other woman soon, I shouldn’t play myself again,I should just be my own best friend,Not f*%k myself in the head with stupid men, He walks away,The sun goes down,He takes the day but I’m grown,And it’s OK,In this blue shade,My tears dry on their own, So we are history,YOUR shadow covers meThe sky above,A blaze only that lovers see He walks away,The sun goes down,He takes the day but I’m grown,And it’s OK,In this blue shadeMy tears dry on their own, I wish I could SAY no regrets,And no emotional debts,And as we kiss goodbye the sun sets,So we are history,The shadow covers me,The sky above a blaze that only lovers see, He walks away,The sun goes down,He takes the day but I’m grown,And it’s OK,In this blue Shade,My tears dry on their own, He walks away,The sun goes down,He takes the day but I’m grown,And it’s OK,My deep shade,My tears dry He walks away,The sun goes down,He takes the day but I’m grown,And it’s OK,My deep shade,My tears dry.
