Amy Winehouse citations

Amy Winehouse [ˈeɪmi ˈwaɪnhaʊs], née le 14 septembre 1983 et morte le 23 juillet 2011, à l'âge de 27 ans, à Londres, est une chanteuse, auteur-compositrice-interprète et guitariste britannique, connue pour sa voix caractéristique rappelant celles d'Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughan ou encore Wanda Jackson. D'une manière générale, sa musique est un mélange de styles comme le jazz, le blues ou encore la soul.

En 2003, Amy Winehouse publie son premier album, Frank. Il rencontre le succès commercial et un bon accueil critique au Royaume-Uni. En 2006, son second album intitulé Back to Black, numéro un des ventes dans plusieurs pays, la propulse au rang de star planétaire. Elle remporte ainsi trois des quatre prix les plus importants aux Grammy Awards en 2008 : Meilleure nouvelle artiste, Album de l'année et Chanson de l'année pour Rehab. L’année précédente, en 2007, elle remporte le Brit Award de la meilleure artiste féminine britannique. Elle reçoit le prix Ivor Novello à trois reprises pour la meilleure chanson contemporaine : en 2004 pour Stronger Than Me, en 2007 pour Rehab, et en 2008 pour Love Is A Losing Game. Avec des ventes estimées à vingt millions d'exemplaires, Back to Black demeure un des albums les plus vendus de l'histoire de la musique. Il est également certifié deux fois disque de platine

Amy Winehouse a également attiré l'attention des médias pour son apparence, notamment sa coiffure, ses tatouages et son maquillage appuyé à l’eye-liner, et a inspiré plusieurs stylistes. La chanteuse connaît des problèmes de dépression, de toxicomanie, d'alcoolisme, et de boulimie largement relayés par les tabloïds à partir de 2007. Le 23 juillet 2011, elle est retrouvée morte dans son appartement londonien, a priori en raison d'un fort abus d'alcool après une période d'abstinence.

Elle rejoint d'autres figures de la musique mortes à l'âge de 27 ans comme Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, Brian Jones ou encore le bluesman Robert Johnson, intégrant ainsi ce que l'on surnomme communément le club des 27,. Wikipedia

Kept his dick wet,
With his same old safe bet.

And my tears dry,
Get on without my guy.”

In this blue shade
My tears dry on their own.”

In My Bed
Song lyrics, Frank (2003)

“You've got a degree in philosophy,
So you think you're cleverer than me.
But I'm not just some drama queen,
Cos it's where you're at not where you've been.
So what do you expect from me,
To hold your head above the sea?
And there are you even though you're bigger,
Cos don't you know you crush my tiny figure?
And anyway we're still so young
And this isn't yet the day.
I can't help you if you won't help yourself.”

Help Yourself
Song lyrics, Frank (2003)

“Then you notice likkle carpet burn
My stomach drop and my guts churn
You shrug and it's the worst
Who truly stuck the knife in first?
I cheated myself like I knew I would
I told you I was trouble, you know that I'm no good
I cheated myself, like I knew I would
I told you I was trouble, yeah you know that I'm no good.”

What It Is About Men
Song lyrics, Frank (2003)

“Though I battle blind,
Love is a fate resigned
Memories mar my mind,
Love is a fate resigned
Over futile odds,
And laughed at by the gods
And now the final frame,
Love is a losing game.”

Love Is A Losing Game
Song lyrics, Back To Black (2006)

“You can't sit down right,
Cause your jeans are too tight,
And you're lucky it's ladies night.
With your big empty purse,
Every week it gets worse,
At least your breasts cost more than hers.”

Fuck Me Pumps
Song lyrics, Frank (2003)

“They tried to make me go to Rehab
I said no, no, no
Yes, I've been black, but when I come back
You'll know, know, know!
I ain’t got the time,
And if my daddy thinks I'm fine
Just try to make me go to rehab
I won't go, go, go.”

Rehab
Song lyrics, Back To Black (2006)

“I'd rather be at home with Ray,
I ain't got seventy days
Cause there's nothing,
There's nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn from Mr Hathaway.
I didn't get a lot in class
But I know it don't come in a shot glass.”

Rehab
Song lyrics, Back To Black (2006)

“You should be stronger than me,
But instead you're longer than frozen turkey,
Why'd you always put me in control?
All I need is for my man to live up to his role,
Always wanna talk it through- I'm ok,
Always have to comfort you every day,
But that's what I need you to do - are you gay?”

“The Moschino bra you bought me last Christmas
Put it in the box, put it in the box
Frank's in there and I don't care
Put it in the box, put it in the box,
Now take it, Take the box.”
