REFLECTION TASK 2B: THE SONG: Back to Black by Amy WİNEHOUSE

The song name of which is Back To Black, is written and published in 2006. It is a song that has the same name with the album. It was written by Amy Winehouse. The song has a story actually. It was written and composed after Amy Winehouse had faced with hardships in her life. Amy Winehouse has a different perspective in this song unlike some songs in her album. Due to fact that she broke up with her lover whose name is Blake lively, the song was full of angry, hopeless emotions. The story of song began with the abandonment of her lover. She actually was crazy about and loved him so much; however he cheated her. When they started their relationships at first, Blake got her to use drugs. She started to use drugs and became addict.  While they were living together, suddenly Blake deserted home and went back to his ex. Amy who had an addiction to Blake, gained more addictions like alcohol, cigarettes, different drugs. She was wanted to go rehabilitation; however she did not want to. She lost lots of kilos. Even when she was in her concert, she was trying to sing but she fell down the floor or could not complete her songs in the concert. After these events in her life, she began to publish a new album whose name was Back to Black. In my opinion it is relevant since the composer, or singer is affected by her\his experiences and s\he also reflects emotions to his\her songs like Back to Black. I like the way that she writes and sings songs. She clearly describes her bad situation in Back to Black. For example, according to one of the quotation in the song, Amy says: I died a hundred times .You go back to her and it means that she went to black and darkness when she was abandoned by Blake. This is how a bitter grief creates an important art. Here is the lyrics of the song of Back to Black.

 "Back To Black"

He left no time to regret
Kept his dick wet
With his same old safe bet
Me and my head high
And my tears dry
Get on without my guy

You went back to what you knew
So far removed from all that we went through
And I tread a troubled track
My odds are stacked
I'll go back to black

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to...

I go back to us

I love you much
It's not enough
You love blow and I love puff
And life is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to...

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to...

Black, black, black, black, black, black, black,
I go back to...
I go back to...

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to...

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to black
