The 25 Most Exquisitely Sad Songs in the Whole World: No. 17


'Back to Black'
Amy Winehouse (2006)

The Breakdown: An ominous song of impending misery following infidelity, sung by a woman with her departing lover's name tattooed on her chest.

The Waterworks: "You go back to her/And I go back to black."

Casualty Count: A lover. Sobriety? Sanity?

I never heard of her wow she has a great voice. The beat sounds like a throw back from the 50 or 60's. you can feel her emotion with every word and the lyrics are great too.

i got no patience for whiney women!!!

Women rule the sexual wilderness and have no problems ever signing the "Standard Model Contract" that rules The Net sex scene.

I on the other hand am iiikingtom@aol.com and I love ladies for free, it's true, I do!!!

Ask for "Malcolm" in Marion, Illinois of America.

Best Amy Winehouse song? You know I'm No Good.

Also happens to be my theme song, that's what I get for dating a rockabilly god.

I get a Macy Gray vibe from her sound, but I love it. Speaking of Macy though --- I'd have to say her song "I Try" tops this one. Both are fairly 'pop' feelings of sadness/regret, but Macy's has a little more believability. Maybe the video helped set that mood though.

I just recently discovered Amy Winehouse. She is an amazing artist. She has an incredible voice and a lot of emotion and soul in every song.
