Regarding Amy's drug and alcohol addiction, some people say that his husband Blake brought her down, but the author believes that Amy is destined to go to darkness. The documentary describes Amy's childhood growth. His father cheated, his parents divorced at the age of 9, and his personality became rebellious. At the age of 13, he was diagnosed with depression. He took some drugs that he didn't know what it was, and suffered from bulimia. , music is the only way for her to escape and relax. In the author's eyes, Amy is just a girl who is full of panic and anxiety and doesn't know how to face the world.
Putting aside all of Amy's negative life experiences, let's get back to her music. There is a magical charm to her music that listeners can find their lost wildness in her voice. "Analyze Amy's lyrics and composition, and you'll find that inside this young body lives an old soul," Nick Gatfield said. Simply saying that Amy's voice is mature enough, and more mature is her lyrics and composition, Amy herself said: "I will write a lot of my sad emotions or what happened in the song, but I make it more than that. , I'll add some humorous elements to it."
In the early days of Amy's debut, I remembered to ask her how successful you thought you would be. Amy said: "I have no concept at all, my music is not so popular, not the kind of very popular thing. I don't think I can handle such a big achievement. Maybe I will go crazy." In fact, Amy is a pair of fame There is no utilitarian purpose in this matter. She is a pure artist, and the pursuit of music is the pursuit of excellence. In an early interview with a Dutch radio station, Amy also said that she hated the string producer who added synth to her song "take the box" because she would never include any synth instruments on her album. . All instruments are to be recorded live. In fact, when we listen to her songs, what we can feel is a natural expression of music and emotion.
Amy's condition in the later stage was very bad. Although she succeeded in detoxification, alcohol became a substitute for her drugs. Whether it's drugs or alcohol, as long as one's heart is still addicted, it doesn't really matter what the accessory is. At that time, Amy was no longer able to sing live. After she came on stage, she was mostly insane and in poor condition. Her confidence in singing was obviously insufficient. Long-term alcoholism and lack of rest almost made her unable to stand on stage. Most people are in the mentality of watching jokes, making fun of her state on the show and so on. Countless spotlights and public opinion, this is painful for Amy, it does not help her, can you imagine the deep despair of a child full of helplessness and despair facing countless negative criticisms? No one can imagine.
In the end, Amy left this world, and Amy's good friend rapper said, "This is someone who is trying to disappear." after witnessing Amy taking drugs. Amy did disappear, at least physically. I’m thinking, from childhood to adulthood, each of us will go through a lot of things, we will cry when we fall, we will be happy when we are rewarded, and we will feel pain when we are scolded. Every bit of experience will be recorded on the timeline of our growth. And for Amy, she felt like she had gone through all the life and death in her childhood. Some people may grow from suffering, some people may be at a loss, and some people are willing to struggle in suffering. This is just people's own choice. Riley in "sense8" said: "It's not the drugs that make a drug addict, it's the need to escape reality."
Maybe this is the sadness of being an entertainer, because there are thousands of viewers watching you, and everyone uses They judge you with their own eyes, and every voice of criticism is different, and for Amy, every voice is fatal. But if time could come back, she would meet a good teacher and friend, someone who could guide her through pain and light, would she have a happier life. Let time freeze here.
