tbh they had to use Back to Black in this trailer to get people like me, who...only know that song and Rehab, interested. What other songs of Amy's should I listen to?

[allons_y42]

Her cover of Valerie is one of my very favorite covers

[vaels]

her voice on that one in particular is amazing

[doriiansz]

Bb, her entire two albums Frank and Back to Black are worth checking out tbh.

[melancolour]

yeah just listen to the albums they're great

[klauses]

hahaha i already know you'll get spammed with replies XD her whole album titled "back to black" is fantastic, but these two songs along with the two you mentioned are popular:

before "back to black," she released an album called "frank" which is also great but less pop-ish. more r&b and blues influence.

ugh it makes me cry every time i think about losing her. addiction is such an evil disease. sometimes you think you are good and done. for me the shadow of the high *was* my actual shadow. it never went away. it lingered like some control thing in your brain and flips the switch.

nelsan ellis died of alcohol poisoning when he was detoxing. there is no replacement for that high. you chase it until your dead.

i'm so grateful for my sobriety but every moment of every day i'd rather be fuckced up on drugs

i'm a recovering alcoholic so i get you babes. there isn't a day that i don't think about drinking, i spent almost a decade drunk every day, but when i finally got sober it was the best feeling ever. i remember being like "holy shit, is this how good and happy non-addicts feel all the time???" i'm just glad i crawled out of that hole before it killed me.

i'll never be rid of my addiction but i do remember how every day, for 10 years, i drug myself to school/work hungover and thinking "that night of drinking was NOT worth this pain," but afterwards i would come home and drink myself to sleep all over again. my drinking turned into a routine rather than a compulsion and i just wasn't willing to break my routine and stop. it was a very dark time in my life.

i'm rambling haha but your comment opened up something in me, i usually don't count my sober days but today i am over 1 year and 10 months sober ^_^

this is so beautiful. i don't usually keep track. i don't remember the number. i have the day i stopped dinking in my calendar. it's my 2nd birthday every year. but i know what you mean. the after was so awful but i kept going to feel something

Tears Dry is amazing. I can never decide which version of it I like best lol.

This one has such a reflective feeling, heavier on regretful.

[bigirons]

just start at track 1 on back to black and go from there, it's a great record

[theleveebroke]

From her album Back to Black: Wake Up Alone, Tears Dry On Their Own, He Can Only Hold Her

From her album Frank: (There Is) No Greater Love, Fuck Me Pumps, Take The Box

Unlisted/singles/posthumous: Body And Soul (duet w/ Tony Bennett), Valerie (specifically the "revisited" version with Mark Ronson imo, but the BBC Radio 1 Lounge version is also exquisite), Heard It Through The Grapevine (live, Jool's Holland)

Honestly her discography is worth a listen to in its entirety, she's one of my favorite artists of all time.

[bonitabonitaa]

One of my favorite songs from her. I feel it's a bit underrated tbh. She was DEEP in the trenches of love. It's both so sad but beautifully written imo.

Something more upbeat. It comes across as a song about love/infatuation but it's actually about weed lol. Sampled by jazz musician Grover Washington.

Frank is overlooked because the Back to Black album was too incredible. Frank has its own magic.

Some Unholy War is so slept on

[derevko]

Tears Dry On Their Own and her version of Valerie are two of my fav songs ever
