Amy, just pick up your guitar and fill your room with music, any music, try something out, or scream, then put what you feel into words, add a few chords, instead of picking up the next glass filled with sorrow-worsener, soul-poison, brainwash, or, as it's more commonly know, alcohol. Music is a much friendlier way of losing yourself, while finding your way out of misery. I'm not lecturing you, being more holy than thou, being condescending. I'm worried, that's all, and I wish you'd realize how much loved you are. Countless people just wish that they would hear you sing again and own a song like only you can. So, please, pick up that guitar, and do what you've got so much talent for. Oh, and how you showed the world! But that is now of no concern. Just begin small. You didn't lose your ability, of that I'm sure. Any beginning is good. As a poet, I should know: one line, and then the next.

Yours truly,
Jan-Peter Scheffer

Amy Winehouse died, and she's taken a part of my soul with her. May that part be the love that I felt for her, and may the love that I still feel for her be the undying part of us both.

sorry to invade your thread, Jan-Peter, but it's for a good cause. And as this came from a poet, i'm quoting another one. Mario Benedetti was an amazing artist. He died on Sunday, so this is my little tribute, a poem that was written for winehouse fans (they say art can be whatever you want it to be, right?)




Mario Benedetti
Viceversa
Tengo miedo de verte
necesidad de verte
esperanza de verte
desazones de verte

Tengo ganas de hallarte
preocupación de hallarte
certidumbre de hallarte
pobres dudas de hallarte.

Tengo urgencia de oírte
alegría de oírte
buena suerte de oírte
y temores de oírte.

O sea
resumiendo
estoy jodido
y radiante
quizá más lo primero
que lo segundo
y también
viceversa.

Mario Benedetti
Vice versa
I have fear of seeing you
necessity of seeing you
hope of seeing you
uneases of seeing you.

I have willingness of finding you
worry of finding you
certainty of finding you
poor doubts of finding you.

I have urgency of hearing you
happiness of hearing you
good luck of hearing you
and fears of hearing you.

So to speak
summarizing
I am fucked
and radiant
perhaps more the former
than the last
and also
vice versa.

This reminds me of her...I sort of dedicate this song to Amy:

Aretha Franklin - A rose is still a rose

There was a rose I knew, I met her once or twice before
She was a pretty sweet thing, not the least bit insecure
Then you came with your slick game and played with her youth
Unashamed of the way you lied, played with the truth, hey, hey

Mmm, she never knew what hit her
Steal her honey, then forget her
A rose
She wears a thorn
Tryin' to forget about you

‘Cause a rose is still a rose
Baby, girl, you're still a flower
He can't lead you and then take you
Make you and then break you
Darlin', you hold the power

Now believe me when I tell you that I've been hurt myself
When he tells you that he loves you and sees nobody else
And now you're so tough tryin' to wear tight clothes and things
Tossin' and flossin', tryin' to fill the void heartbreak brings


Oh…oh…yeah
When she faces the mirror, yeah
She's cryin', you can't hear her

Now the rose is still a rose
She wears a thorn, tryin' to forget about you

‘Cause a rose is still a rose
Baby, girl, you're still a flower
He can't lead you and then take you
Make you and then break you
Baby, girl, you hold the power

See a rose is still a rose
Baby, girl, you're still a flower
He can't lead you and then take you
Make you and then break you
Darlin', you hold the power

Let your life be in the sunshine
Not the darkness of your sorrow
You may see your all today
but new love will come tomorrow

Dont belive your life is over,
Just because your man is gone
Girl, love yourself and love to love
‘Cause without him your life goes on
Without him your life goes on
Without him your life goes on


‘Cause a rose is still a rose
Baby, girl, you're still a flower
He can't lead you and then take you
Make you and then break you
Baby, girl, you hold the power

See a rose is still a rose
Baby, girl, you're still a flower
He can't lead you and then take you
Make you and then break you
Darlin', you hold the power

Ashlee, thanks. Like it was written with Amy in mind. And from Aretha Franklin, who empowered so many women.:)
Amy Winehouse died, and she's taken a part of my soul with her. May that part be the love that I felt for her, and may the love that I still feel for her be the undying part of us both.
