My fasvorite Amy song at the moment. The beginning with her vocal gymnastics, the way she pronounces neverrr. The arrangement.

She truly is a genius. Love you Amy!! Thank you Amy!!

It's my favorite too :) The best song to end an album like Black to black.

my UK release ends with Addicted, my US release ends with Ghostface, don't tell me there's another ending out there :lol:
i LOVE that song for many reasons...plus, how can you go wrong with a Hendrix intro

Well, mine closes with Ghostface Killah too, but these last 2 track (the remix + Addicted) are listed as bonus tracks, so the last piece of the album would normally be He can only hold her.

Take a look here:

I must admit I hardly ever play this song :$ Not because I think it isn't good though. It's good, just not one of my favs.

I love this song...the lyrics are just delicious...for me it's like she's telling a story, like a princess like story...but with some winehouse twist. and the name of the song: HE can Only Hold Her...amazing...so true and rare. I just love it!

The song I'm listening to the most right now is Just Friends. It doesn't get as much attention as others, but it's one of my faves.

I think it's a perfect song - it's very low-key. I love the intro, and the ska sound. It's very melancholy.

i just had a cool discussion about 'just friends' today with a friend of mine...he was saying he didnt like ska (which i luuuv), and i was like: but you like Amys just friends right?...and he was like: yeah yeah, but it's diferent...it's Amy were talkin bout. i loved he answered that! and by the way its one of my favs...actualy i love every single song of Back to Black...it never happened to me...to like every song of an album...each song has its glow and meaning, but always with a something that breathes you in...its amazing.

I've just run into a few albums that were all good. Obviously nothing like B2B, or Amy. Amy swept me off my feet. She's still sweeping. LOL

I'm shocked every time I listen to Amy singin' this song. It's a complete demonstration of the fact that there is something more than body and matter. Her voice, the players, all of them are gifted in this track. Let´s hope for a long life for all of them...

I always wondered what was the back story on Just Friends. It's about an affair with a married man, so did she have one? Her songs are usually autobiographical, but I've never heard any other mention anywhere about her having an affair with a married man. Or did I miss something?

Affair with a married man? Oops, that has never come to my mind while listening to that song.
And I go back to... I go back to us.

The demo of He Can Only Hold Her is so, so much better than the album version. Wow...this is amazing. Personally I've never been the biggest fan of Ronson.
