Exercise yous remember Amy Winehouse when she was alive? Every solar day, dozens of virtual bouquets of flowers are placed in the comments under her songs online, the elegies that are periodically published on the Internet cry out their anguish at the fate that stopped a brilliant artist in her tracks. But the eccentric girl herself, her unique, distinct voice; do you remember them?
I listened to this song again recently, quite by take a chance. The song was released and institute popularity in 2007, but I never listened to it with whatsoever real attention. Perhaps I had been negatively influenced by the storyline that ultimately led to her premature death. But I clearly didn't realise how relevant it was. You Know I'm No Good, waiting for me among my Youtube recommendations, stands out from the pack with the intensity of its feelings.
The album from which it comes, Dorsum to Blackness, had launched Amy to huge success, lauded as being among the greatest British musicians. She became the first British artist to win 5 Grammy Awards in one dark on February 10th, 2008, when the album won Best Pop Song anthology. With a sale of three,580,000 copies in the United kingdom alone, it is now the 2d all-time-selling album in the state in the 21st century, and the thirteenth ever.
At that time, Amy met Blake Fielder, the man who would ally her, and with whom she was so deeply in love – but who she betrayed. It happened afterwards a long battle with eating disorders and nights ruined by the excesses. "You Know I'm No Good", she writes in the message bottled within the anthology, which also contains Rehab, her well-known refusal to accept treatment for her booze addiction.
Simply nosotros're not here to focus on the story of Amy and her early on decease. Instead, allow'due south investigate the song that she gave u.s., an case of dazzler and immortal sensibility. "I'm No Good" reflects the betrayal and peradventure fifty-fifty her terminal alcoholic relapse. "I'm sorry, I'chiliad trying difficult", she seems to tell us, "but I told you I am similar this." Everyone wanted a better Amy. Perhaps what she was asking was just to exist loved as she was.
Encounter yous dowstairs in the bar and hurt,
Your rolled upward sleeves in your skull t-shirt,
You say 'What did you do with him today?',
And sniffed me out similar I was Tanqueray
A few details are plenty to recreate the scene: he meets her to talk about what happened. He tries to keep calm because he doesn't desire to get carried away by her latest betrayal. Only it'south non easy, and he tries to olfactory property her, to bank check for the olfactory property of another, as if smelling a bottle of gin to check that it'south pure. And she knows how he feels.
'Crusade you're my fella my guy,
Hand me your Stella and fly,
By the fourth dimension I'k out the door,
You tear men downwards like Roger Moore
She doesn't desire to show that she is sorry or weaken herself. He acts similar James Bail: stolid and collected; and she as a lover who will not apologise for anything. The request for forgiveness emerges only later on, but even then, it's not explicit.
I cheated myself,
Like I knew I would,
I told you I was trouble,
You know that I'g no good
"I'm non a adept girl, I'thou non like you expected me to be": she tin't enquire for forgiveness, she doesn't say she'due south distressing. Instead, she tries to reason that the only person she has cheated, is "herself". She loves him, merely she feels that she is the 1 who has been screwed.
Upstairs in bed with my ex boy,
He'due south in a place but I can't get joy,
Thinking on you in the final throes,
This is when my buzzer goes,
Run out to meet yous, chips and pitta,
Y'all say 'when we married',
'crusade y'all're not bitter,
'There'll exist none of him no more',
I cried for you lot on the kitchen flooring
She's really in love, she writes in the second verse: Yes, she wanted to betray him, just even at the moment of expose, she was thinking of him. And without giving any explanation, she runs to meet him.
The very adjacent scene, at that place they are, chatting and eating (the detail of the chips creates, with very few words, the notion that it's i of their regular conversations). She knows who she wants, and she is grateful that he didn't leave. They are back together; they can leave this incident behind.
The singer-songwriter is wonderful at creating a climax with music and words, and she saves it for the last stanza, making it even more empathetic. She thinks back to her conversations, afraid that he volition modify his mind, and pitiful for having disappointed him again.
Sweet reunion Jamaica and Spain,
We're similar how we were once more,
I'm in the tub, you on the seat,
Lick your lips equally I soap my feet,
Then you discover similar carpet burn down,
My tum drop and my guts churn,
You shrug and it's the worst,
Who truly stuck the knife in first
Jamaica and Kingdom of spain – smoke and alcohol. She takes a bathroom he is with her. Everything is fine, merely he sees the tell-tail signs and senses that it has happened again. As if the temperature has suddenly plunged, the two stop talking. In one case again, he says nothing; he doesn't disclose what he thinks. He's every bit proud every bit she is, wounded by the deliberate show of indifference. It was all right, but now it'southward over. Who'due south hurting who now?
Information technology is a story of pride. It is the stream of consciousness of a girl who keeps her fears locked away and is unable to apologise. But she'southward asking to exist loved. The words we don't say are often the most important; the phrases that are stuck betwixt the center and the throat, are often the hardest to express.
Even if I tin't say what I should, the lyrics seems to say, delight understand. Even if I tin can't apologise, forgive me. I am too the ane who pursues y'all, request that nosotros stay together; the one who smiles when you make plans for us; the one who is afraid of being better.
Behind a mask that wants to exist strong, a request for forgiveness and help is hidden. I betrayed yous just I ran to you immediately: don't leave me, help me alter. Loving and forgiving is not easy, and it is even more than difficult to permit yourself be loved and forgiven, considering information technology is difficult to accept such magnanimity. But at the cease of the day, what remains is the hope of being rescued and welcomed.
Amy comes back, every time, with a handbag of fries or a bottle of beer. She has no words to say; she cried in hole-and-corner. She lets him accept her dorsum, she lets him forgive her. She wants to exist helped to change, even if she volition then experience indebted afterwards. Maybe that's what honey really is: the feeling of being wrong, accepting that we are non perfect, then starting over again, together.
