So Long Amy: Amy Winehouse tribute song
Good day students and/or Amy Winehouse fans. Attached is a brand new Dr BLTune available as a free download and as a potential student PsychMusicVid Youtube project. Angles on a video could address her self-destructive predilection, her substance abuse as a way of coping with fame and the societal demands and expectations that seem to go with the phenomenon of fame.
Somebody also requested the lyrics for Boy Behind Bars, which details the Merle Haggard's early battle with juvenile delinquency. I'm about to add those in the thread below this one. Without further ado, here's...
So Long Amy
Dr BLT
words and music by Bruce L. Thiessen, aka Dr BLT copyright 2011
So Long Amy
she lived her life in the space of a song
a song so chaotic
she wasn't so strong
now the headlines say "AMY IS GONE"
so long, Amy so long
why do they die so young
I don't know
she was just 27
caught up in the throes
of disease and addiction
in a world gone so wrong
so long, Amy so long
chorus:
she's gone she's gone
she left us today
in the midst of a song
her life was a stage
one day they're here
and then, hey, they're gone
so long, Amy, so long
she joined Brian Jones
of the Rolling Stones
Janis and Jimmi
with sad tales of their own
Jim Morrison too
and Curt Cobain
all 27
and drownin' in pain
(instrumental solo; return to chorus)
