Have Sth Good of Sth Bad, Vice Versa

1. The source of creation

The purpose of creation is to escape, nothing to do with fame and fortune, but to do something you like to relax yourself and settle your emotions. Amy said that words keep repeat in her mind, she had to wirte it down, this is also some good brought by pain (have something good of something bad); in "Postitive pyschology" Tal said that rumination is not good, but writing it will make people Take it easy; Kafka said writing is a way to escape hell.

In order to escape from those lingering negative emotions, Amy externalizes the pain through creation, stripping it from the body. When those lingering negative emotions, dark thoughts, and self-judgment are all written out, they can escape from the shackles of infinite self-growth for a moment, and can breathe and continue their lives.

2. Jazz Wizard

Amy is sensitive and vulnerable, her soft heart is exposed, and subtle emotions are infinitely magnified in her body, and she is addicted to it. Amy is also a true temperament, free and casual. She sings just because she likes it. So her songs are freewheeling, dismissive, morbid, sarcastic, destructive, soulful, pretending to be tough, and darkly humorous.

3. Deformation

Amy is famous, but fame turned out to be so scary.

When doing one thing becomes a task, nothing can be relaxing. It's pathetic. Expressing when you want to express yourself is the creation that is most loyal to yourself. Catering to the preferences and rhythms of the public is actually self-repression. When these stimuli exceed the psychological range, everything turns sour, and even singing needs to escape.

Amy ran onto the stage like a panicked deer, her slender legs seeming unable to support her body. During the performance, the spotlights flickered under the spotlight, barely opening his eyes. She couldn't see the faces of people, and stood blankly, knowing that she was stared at by a pair of eyes in the dark. When we hit the streets, so many paparazzi and fans chased, no privacy, nowhere to escape, flashes came and went, no way to come and go, the world was cut into discrete dreams. When on vacation, the views that should be shared by everyone, can no longer be enjoyed as Amy, and you can refuse to be disturbed by strangers, but what if you are close relatives?

4. Destruction

The unrelieved heart turned into Amy's depression and bulimia. In fact, these problems have plagued her since she was a teenager. When Amy can't escape to music, can't escape to her family, she escapes to love.

The absence of childhood made her desperate for love. Pretending to be indifferent, pretending to be arrogant, saying me & my head high, but as long as Primitive desires a call, a hint, she is willing to give up everything, sink and destroy. She has so much casual sex, she doesn't seem to love herself so much, but from the bottom of her heart she thinks that she is not worthy of being loved! Has been betrayed by a loved one, who would not betray themselves? What to do if you long for love, then humble yourself in the dust. That summer with Blake Fielder when she said "I fall in love with someone whom I would die for", it was doom again! There is no need to love yourself, there is no yourself at all, the meaning of love is to please each other. So, when Love reached out and handed Drug, Amy obeyed the devil's temptation. The scary thing about peak experience is that it raises the threshold of pleasure, especially when such an experience is obtained through drugs, so what about winning a Grammy, boring, empty, plain, or wanting a short cut.

5. Would you still love me tomorrow

Amy said that if she could walk the streets freely, she would rather give up this talent. She is outspoken, and she may indeed be unfit to be an entertainer. People who are likable and like to be chased and paid attention to can adapt to the life of being watched. Talent is a plus.

But what really destroyed her was love? no. Don't ask would you still love me tomorrow, just ask do you love yourself.

"If she had lived, I would say, slow down. It's too important. Life teaches you really how to live it, if you live long enough" - Tony Bennett

Amy quotes

  • Yasiin Bey: I became aware of Amy in 2004. I'm a big jazz fan and I really liked what she was doing. I thought it was unique, I thought it was edgy. And sincere. And that's the thing I like most about Amy. She didn't have any airs. She was real... She was just a charming, sweet lady. I had a bit of a crush on her, to be honest. She was raw, she was fast with a blue joke, could drink anybody under the table, wasn't afraid to roll a smoke. Had a big, giant laugh, and was just a sweetheart, you know?

  • Amy Winehouse: Success to me is not success to the record company or whoever. Success to me is having the freedom to work with whoever I want to work with, to always be able to go to the studio when I have to go to the studio... I think the more people see of me, the more they'll realize that all I'm good for is making tunes. So leave me alone and I'll do it. I will do the music. I just need time to do the music.
