Back to black

We all know the world famous song Back to Black by Amy Winehouse (click here to listen). I can honestly say it has never been a favourite song of mine, however I have always really enjoyed it.

I do often get it in my head because I think it's a really catchy tune. The subtle mix of soul and R&B is a fantastic style which only the voice of Amy Winehouse can pull off in the way she does.

"We only said goodbye with words, I died a hundred times, you go back to her and I go back to black."

These are lyrics almost every member of the public feels they can relate to as everyone thinks they've been through heartbreak.   
This song however maybe have quite a dark aura about it but i think it also feels strangely positive.

I must admit this is the last song I expected to have in my head today let alone for a second post as i'm in a reasonably good mood and this is a morbid song. I don't understand who has actually died in the video, is it her loved one? Has he died because of their lifestyle? does anyone know?

Maybe it's some kind of metaphor and she knows this is the worst case scenario if she continues in this lifestlyle.

Basically its a reflection of her experiences with relationships, drugs and sex. Thanks for sharing Amy! And she's shared it the general British public's favourite way, in the form of a well liked song from 2006.
