When My Eyes (Rare) With Lyrics

- Waitress on skates, in trainin'
They dart to call it dreaming
Images present themselves to me
Seeds are ripe for reapin'
I continue sleepin'
You're everything you ever wanted to be
And nothing here is changing
No messy rearranging
Cause every set of ficus stays the same
Sinatra's always singing
And you do all the clinging
And someone else accepts my place
Whatever my imagination throws
So rugged, growing rose
When my eyes do close
When my eyes do close
When they close
Turn and face my ceiling
Deep in all the feeling
Inhibitions turn to dust and fly away
Stop my eyelids flickering
With your petty bickering
But this I must say,
What I got to say
I hear my girl Dinah's playin'
And tree branches start swayin'
Run over and sit right by the roof
And I see the lips are growing
Little buds are showing
Reach out a hand
And bite into the fruit
Whatever my imagination throws
So rugged, growing rose
When my eyes do close
When my eyes do close
When they close
Nothin' such a scrutiny
Voiding purple mutual
You are loving beautifully
And it's fragrant beautifully
Colorful and monochrome
Amy Winehouse alone
Far away from ringing phone at home
I turn to stone, turn to stone
And all the thoughts are static
Yeah, my singing is automatic
And I wish that I could sell it in my every urge you tell her
Cause I can sense no danger
I am the lone ranger
Through the desert in a yellow caddy
With a black haired blue eyed stranger
White dress outside drying
I've been fear for flying
I overtake Montgomery in skills, yeah
Never been more daring
Kitten heels I'm wearing
Reality a blow that sometimes kills
When I drop it lyrically
Worlds evolve generically
And I don't ever need to collapse in tears
And I could curse your timing
Thunderously miming
And I feel young beyond my years
Whatever my imagination throws
So rugged, growing rose
When my eyes do close
When my eyes do close
When they close....

She wrote this when she was 16 or 17 years old, pure genius describing her life and feelings at this time. She was wise beyond her years and such a great singer and lyricist. The most uninteresting thing about her life was her problems with drugs alcohol and bulimia. She was one of a kind only Amy sounds like Amy and she sounded different each time she sings a song.
I agree, fantastic typing ;)
Lol, I wish I could've written like this at that age...............
+kim beattie ...well said. The movie "Amy" was a great documentary, loved the ending as I was in tears, beautiful way to end the movie.
+Janel brake
How do u know that?
She was a teenager when she wrote this song.
And it still sounds a hundred times better than most of music nowadays.
She was a rare BRILLIANT talent
Alcoholic Logic (Alternative version)
All of her demos are precious gifts and are such unique ear candy but the fact that this one didn't make the cut for Frank will always kill me
I know!! Why!! This is perfect!!
Ofngggg
"Colorful and monochrome, Amy Winehouse alone" don't know why but this was always my favorite lyric from the song; it has always haunted me... I think it's cuz it's such a whimsical contradiction being juxtaposed with a statement that so starkly sums up the struggle that plagued her throughout her entire life. It somehow almost feels precognitive
Robbably Beautifully said. Amy was (and is) an absolute lyrical genius. Forever and always.
That was sexy
Thank you for highlighting that line. Helped me focus and see it/her in a new light
reading this gace me chills. wonderfully said
I could hear this song 1000 times, I'd never have enough...
How can you fall in love with someone just from their music? She blows my mind with her talent,her sensuality, her smile.She was the total package.. Maybe someday Amy...
Heck, I'm straight as can be, but I have to admit, Amy is my girl-crush, lol. I just admire her swag, her beauty, her tough girl attitude - yet she was so vulnerabe. And she had no need or care to hide any of it with fake personas like most do. That's what I love about Amy...she was REAL. I'm like that too; ain't got no time to be anyone other than myself or put on a front just so others will "approve" of me. If they don't approve then pfffft, see ya, they're no one I'd want to associate with anyhow.
Thank you.. Other than a select few can you find who can sing like an instrument even in background vocals..
same
I feel the same about Pete Doherty. They were good friends. I miss Amy
Truly❤️🔥
When I get to heaven I am asking where is AMY and just hug her...she was so special
Most certainly a rare and beautiful soul. So sad to know we won't be receiving anymore musical gifts from her.
Hugging her was my response too, while watching the doc film, Amy. The parasites would not let her be..r.i.p. Amy. A true artist and a great spirit. 😎
Best comment EVERRRR !!!!!!! Yeahhhhh We love you Amy forever and ever❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Allen Johnson i always think the same thing !! When i die i just want to spend my time watching her sing and have a good talk. Such a beautiful soul
Do you accept Christ as your Lord and Savior?
It really struck me what Rolling Stone said about this track, that it's a real testament to a time when music and imagination were enough of an escape for Amy, and she didn't have to resort to drugs and alcohol as a release. RIP angel.
The way she sings her name
Eargasm...just pure eargasm
+Rebecca Silva ...i like that, very clever wording...describes Amy's voice perfectly.
passei para dizer q concordo kkk
What? Que?
i just passed to say that i agree with this girl
...just didn't understand the lingo..lol..but, totally love this amy tune ;*)

Thank you soo for the words- wow
Amazing amazing amazing 😍❤️ and so authentic and seemingly unaware of her greatness, ' ...I'm only good for making music...' only? Amy thank you for your music. Rest and visit Janice and Jimi for me too!!!
Accepts my Shane instead place
@@vikingbrava2125 I hear the word "blame" ...not place or Shane.
@@Donna777 LMFAOOO “shane”
We have to realize what a genius Amy was. No one sings like that. I call it "that" out of deep admiration and respect. Her artistic genius was and is unimaginable. To know her through her art is a march of folly. To imagine oneself sharing her thoughts as she navigates the windy tunnels of abstract expression is well...unimaginable. Unless you're Stevie Wonder, Jimi Hendrix or any of a dozen or so truly creative, "mindbendingly" once-in-a-lifetime angels on earth. Words and music are Amy's two other WMMs (Weapons of Mass Music) and her lyrical skill set is a five-tool player: her ability to "haunt" her words and phrases, the mathematically impossible way she grows then sheds various intonations, definitive music genres, age-spanding voices from virginal, to teenage wonder, to troubled soul, to a woman in love with love, to a woman as alpha-male, to a woman in love alone. Amy gave us so much in such a short time. This song was meant to be on her Mount Rushmore. A mountain that may never be climbed by anyone but Amy. I mean will there ever be another Hendrix? No. There won't be. M
PERFECT. ❤
PLEASE write music reviews
🩷🩷 i’m so glad we had somebody who wasn’t afraid to be themselves, and somebody who truly cherished music (and respected it). she didn’t just put random words together like nowadays.
She just was/is the best. You hear another fabulous new voice come along, and you think wow, could be an Amy..... or similar, but then you hear Amy again, and you're left reeling in the knowledge that there will never be another Amy Winehouse. She was an extraordinarily exquisite singer, a passing star of such magnitude, nothing, not even she could contain it. Mores the pity.
"Contain it" -- I assume that you've heard her speaking at the end of "A Song for You" on the posthumous album "Lioness", but if not: "Donny Hathaway ... he couldn't contain himself -- he had something in him, you know." Almost unbearable to hear it; I wonder if she really -- I mean *really*, 100%, knew that about herself and her music.
@@JJ21210 Now you, now you ! Thank you.
She is like Janis. Unique!
I have a very serious addiction....I listen to nothing but her music, and I have been stuck on this song for the past 2 days :(
I hope you never get better :)
I hope you recover soon, how are you doing now?
I've been listening to her songs since I am 11 and I've just turned 27 x)
I sooooo wish they would re-release her FRANK album for a 20yr celebration w/unreleased songs!!! This songs shows so many qualities of her voice that as time went on ppl didn't get to experience! So talented inso many ways. I always hear something new every time i listen to a song again
Gone too soon. One of my favorites right along with Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, India Arie. Talk about chill.
❤
Somebody Lovesyou 💘
Have you seen the 2015 docu? It's heartbreaking but also incredibly wonderful to see *her* -- home movies, an early interview in which she doesn't bother to hide her disdain for the pretentious interviewer (she's not rude, she's just *herself*). Everything that is true about who she was -- that combo of pain overlaid by playfulness, wit, sass, sex, impatience, rumination -- everything that makes her music explosively human and unique is there in the docu. Her loss still hits so many of us so hard -- one mark of a real artist.
Breaks my heart discovering this song today and thinking that she indeed closed her eyes.
DrVonTennla dittos
Breaks my heart too...
yes
Pop, Jazz, RNB, Soul... Name it she can do it.
Been listening to the late Amy Winehouse for the past few days, its almost like I rediscovered her music. It is very obvious she sang from her spirit, her voice haunting almost, it was like listening to a seasoned songstress move through her demons musically. The pain was obvious, she literally died for her craft, everyone loved her because she was the truth..and she wasn't afraid to expose herself, that is and was the vulnerability that is felt in her music..unfortunately, people who are super gifted leave earlier than later, we have them for a short time and poof that's it. Amy Winehouse rest in perfect peace.
Amy was ALWAYS *AMY* ...no matter which era. ❤❤❤
Amy ❤🥰is EVERYTHING! Her lyrics are Brilliant. It's been Said, but I'll say it Again~ Amy ❤🥰 is A Genius & A Legend, & My 4ever #1.
Beautifully Stated, & I Agree With U Completely! AMY ❤🥰💋💋 IS Phenomenally Gifted Singer/Songwriter..She Touched My Heart 4EVER.
I literally keep on going back to the bridge part because just WOW. She was just extraordinary
Fr fr !
If only Amy had released an R&B album before she passed :,(
Stay tuned man stay tuned
@@jules8159 oh? XD
So what about is first album ?!?
Someone sleeping again on Frank
@@chasaandrew6423 Frank is more jazz/hip-hop superb album though!!
She was a soul singer. R & B IMO would have been a step backwards for AW but , she COULD have done it. BTW , jazz and jazzy are NOT the same thing.
She was a very unique artist with so much soul. When listen to her I think about Etta James,Aretha,and Billy Holiday. Rip Amy and your music will live on forever. Thank you for sharing your beautiful voice with us
miss this voice..cant find anyone who remotely sounds like her. Man her talent was endless. Sad Sad:(
irish's faves i think Angelina Jorden comes close to Amy's voice 👍🏻🤗
Jorja smith has a very nice sound. You should give her a listen 😊
@@TheMarilyn1969monroeshe sounds NO-NO-NOTHING like Amy I don’t know why everyone says her 😂
The chord changes in this song are brilliant. Oh Amy, you were so vulnerable and prone to the dark side. Nevertheless, you were worth fixing, darling. I just wish you could have seen that... If you had hung on and released your third album, it would have been bigger than B2B with all the crap you endured!
Amen!
goddamn... why do the good ones have to leave so soon?
chai Israel I an just in Awww of her ... man ....if she just waited and gave it a little more time to heal.. love her and find something new in her unheard tracks all the time .she surprise me with so much diversity...
You're welcome I've been listening to her for a few months the minute I heard her and saw all the videos,immediately I was hooked.I heard of her but never saw her till then.She touched my heart in so many ways.....I wished I could've met her...I know we all do and would've done whatever we could to help her... All she needed was someone to understand and love her...I mean understand her demons she was going through ...and say I'm here..but also to say you can do this Amy pushing her till she had the strength and courage but at the same time never let go of her... R.I.P Amy..a lot of them just went with it ..as if she could change it on her own. Not a fan of ol Blakey tho..
now I listen to her everyday if not during the day ,at night..not a day goes by without her...❤😇😇❤
she was just brilliant.
the chorus touches me everytime I hear this. we love you Amy
Speechless.. just discovered this and it's like Amy released a new song. Absolutely love it. May you rest in peace my dearest Amy xxx
I love the way she felt as though she could express herself through her songs, im so glad she found her own special way ❤
What an artist, this song is so good, she was an unbelievable singer and this shows here ability to sing any word in the english language, and her great song writing. She is a one of a kind no one else sounds like Amy Winehouse.
this has got to be one of my favourites by her, actually by anyone, it makes me so happy
I think this is her best unreleased song
Agreed. Underrated.
melody of a pure heart about to be under the thumb of drug reptiles... cheers Didier
The best song I've ever listened to...
AMY un style, une voix unique, une classe infernale, ELLE EST LA MUSIQUE...!
why is it that I can not stop listening to her...................
NYC James
When I get to heaven I will thank her.................
Take a number, and get on line, very long line in heaven for us Amy lovers, we want to hold her and thank her.
anyone else here listening to this beautiful soul in 2019 ? xxx
its 2020!
2020
2020 ❤️
2021 😄
Its 2022 n am still listening to her. Cant stop loving her
forever my favorite Amy song
First time hearing it today and I’m thinking the same thing now too.
@@KrucialKenn- awww I’m happy for your discovery! Enjoy
no one could replace her and her songs
new singers are capable...but the difference between singer and artistry is a huge fine line... Amy is an artist and the rest...are.... not...
Well said! 😎
very true... that's why i don't like modern music, they don't mean shit and it's not from the heart '-'
So true. Amy was a true Singer, natural Singer
Miss you Amy..
ILoveAmyJWinehouse SHE IS {not was.!} SUCH A GEM.! Her soul lives within us ALL of us.!
Black influenced sounds very R&B. Great nonetheless. Very talented and versatile artist. Love you Amy!
Yet it's a frank era song :)
What's with the nonetheless though..
@@samirascarlettlmao right?
I miss you so much babygirl.
This makes me think of a rainy Sunday morning. And it makes me think of you Amy. Rest in peace sweet angel😞
Love
That little rap she does in the background at 2:46 is extatic
Quite possibly her best song!!!
A song for you is epic
@@xronald619xthat’s a cover
Maaan, Amy was super gifted!!
I can't stop listening to this amazing piece of music written by a genius. I miss her and her music.
THIS is jazz. Youth!! Soul! Passion! Amy is everything
I love how Amy was ALWAYS *AMY* ❤
Genius. A bridge like that! Greatest singer ever. Genius lyrics. Stevie Wonder and Sarah Vaughn are close. Marvin, Sinatra, Cole, Charles, Aretha, Teddy, Ella, Streisand, Plant, Lennon, MJ.
she will always be one of my favorite singers of all time forever we are to of ah kind and we shall meet one day baby girl I felt every word of this song just like most of your songs I love you Ms Amy winehouse
You can hear her broad range of influences. It gives her cross genre intergenerational appeal.. Almost limitless. Love her.
This one blows me away...so dynamic and the lyrics are some of my favorite...unbelievable gifted artist...in my heart forever ♥
Just now hearing this song in 2022 and I think this is one of her best songs, if not her best. Underrated song.
I'm back on youtube looking for some good music, and I find myself once again going back to Amy. I even type other artists name's in but I find myself going back to Amy. Man you are soooo missed...
i love you.
OMG I CAN SING THE CHORUS ALLLLL FREAKING DAY!!!!
Such a beautiful song!!
Amy there isn’t a damn song I don’t like of yours !! Jesus woman , you are a gift!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤
She was/is a Divine Gift 2 those that connect with her heart via their ears….her music touches a soul - quite - truly madly deeply
A most unique treasure
Second time I’m watching her sing in a year. I couldn’t handle it anymore. I was afraid I’d start tearing. Her music helped me get through the worst period of my life. My whole life I wondered who was the greatest singer: Nat, Frank, Sarah, Ella, Barbara, Teddy, Marvin, Stevie, etc. When I discovered her a few years after her passing, I was in shock at the masterful combination of great singers and jazz singers that her vocals emulate and the genius of her lyrics. You can’t cover Stevie or Amy. For me Amy is number one with Stevie a close second. Coincidentally, I met her father at a Brooklyn Music Academy rehearsal and performance at a church where my two kids, VESSIO, shared percussion duties. At that point I didn’t know Amy was that good. I talked at length with her father. If I knew what I know now about Amy, I might have collapsed in front of him. It’s almost impossible to pick her greatest song and lyric. “When My Eyes” for me is one of the ten best songs I’ve ever heard. RIP Sweet Amy.
with head phones on close your eyes and listen with no distraction, feel every note with all of you...she draws me into each song with soul you can feel so pure...makes me so emotional.
So much more talented than virtually everyone in my generation at 16/17 wow
you must not have listened to my music yet…
I made this playlist years ago of her rare tracks. Totally forgot about it and this song. Now I get to fall in love with this song yet again. Thank you, Amy.
I just think that simply Amy is capable of not letting me out the words to describe her and to describe her songs
"I wish people listening to my music would forget their problems for five minutes" Amy.
you made it...
good luck strong lady 🌹
She is the best I've ever heard in a natural voice which changed in every live performance. One of a kind. We will always love you Amy💕
Todos te extrañamos Amy. Nunca dejo de escucharte todos los días.
Holy sh1t!!!! Whatta song! just love it! Amy....you still thrill me to mere marrow of my bones after you've gone
Un talento tan natural y una artista de pies a cabeza de las mejores que habrá !
Gracias Amy 💖
Yet another great song from AMY.....
Came here to remind myself I’m not one of those tiktok fans who just found Amy
So rugged... Growin rose..." the bridge completely turns the song into a tear-jerking ballad, it's genius, it's gorgeous!
Here before the movie about her goes viral loved you before the foolishness. Rip Amy my love! 😭🍒
Screw that movie!!
Amy Winehouse..legendary!!! Forever missed
God...... if she could have only grown some more......... we've been robbed
That Virgo creativity is like no other
Her voice changes so much from type of song to the next!!!!! One more thing to Love about Miss Winehousexoxoxoxoxoxooxoxo!!!!!! R.C.
I love it she just expresses her feelings👄👍
No wonder I've been so depressed the last couple
years. Haven't listened to this since I was pregnant. Even before then it made me feel so light and bubbly. I'm glad I looked this up. Feel like I'm going to end my life lately.
Lady, Never Ever Give Up !!
You just lift yourself up and dust yourself off You'll be ready for the next round !!!
-Sarge
nope!!! Life is worth it!!! :)
Truly one of a kind. Can never duplicate Amy. The good ones are always gone too soon she is still the goat. Rip 🙏🏼❤️
Come on guy's, keep writing about her wonderful voice and how much she meant to us on a daily basis, I listened to her every day.
I just noticed this album cover lists Best For Me Amys duet with Tyler James!!! These demos/tracks NEED to be released for her 20th anniversary of the FRANK album!!!
She was so well spoken early on, she’s using verbs I didn’t know and as a French person she sure expanded my vocabulary. She was really smart, book smart and street smart also
THE BEST ,,,,THE BEST OF THE WORLD
Love the r&b/jazz mix in this song
Still throwing roses 2020 💋🌹
Colourful and monochrome
Amy Winehouse alone
my favorite of all of hers. I wish I ould of sen her at least ONCE on a stage...
Claire Tourigny same
Same here . But i do hope to go to her hologram tour . It's quite Grimm to think that she's dead and there at the same Time but I would give anything to see her again
LYRICS
[Verse 1]
Waitress on skates in training
They dart to call it dreamin'
Images present themselves to me
Seeds are ripe for reapin'
I continue sleepin'
You're everything you ever wanted to be, yeah
And nothin' here is changin'
No messy rearrangin'
'Cause every set of ficus stays the same
Sinatra's always singin'
And you do all the clingin'
And someone else accepts my place
[Chorus]
Whatever my imagination throws
So rugged, growin' rose
When my eyes do close
When my eyes do close
When they close
[Verse 2]
Turn and face my ceilin'
Deep in all the feelin'
Inhibitions turn to dust and fly away
Stop my eyelids flickerin'
With your petty bickerin'
But this time, I say what I got to say
I hear my girl Dinah's playin'
And a tree's branches start swayin'
Run over and sit right by the roof
And I see the leaves are growin'
Little birds are showin'
Reach out a hand and bite into the fruit
[Chorus]
Whatever my imagination throws
So rugged, growin' rose
When my eyes do close
When my eyes do close
When they close
Bridge]
Nothin' such a scrutiny (Nothin' such a scrutiny)
Avoidin' all the mutiny
You are lovin', beautifully
And it's fragrant beautifully
Colourful and monochrome
Amy Winehouse alone
Far away from ringin' phone at home
I turn to stone, turn to stone
And all the thoughts are static
Yeah, my singin' is automatic
And I wish that I could sell it
And my every urge, you tell her
'Cause I can sense no danger
I am the lone ranger through the desert in a yellow caddy
With a black-haired, blue-eyed stranger
[Verse 3]
White dress outside dryin'
I've been a fear for flyin'
I overtake Montgomery in skills, yeah
Never been more darin'
Kitten heels I'm wearin'
Reality, a blow that sometimes kills
And when I drop it lyrically
Worlds evolve generically
And I don't ever need to collapse in tears
And I could curse your timin'
Thunderously mimin'
And I feel young beyond my years
[Chorus]
Whatever my imagination throws
So rugged, growin' rose
When my eyes do close
When my eyes do close
When they close
2:46.... she kicked everyones ass... and those vocals in the back are serious!!!!!!! RIP AMY!!!..... THIS SONG IS TOUGH
As far as I'm aware this was never officially released... I truly hope they release more work from the vault! I know they didn't want to release a ton of posthumous albums, but I just crave more of her music!!
I think you're right as far as it having never been officially released. I also think it could very possibly be her greatest song (in my humble opinion)
@@bigzico2525 I agree! It’s so clever.
I love this song!Amy is just an amazing artist,her albums are great and all the unofficial tracks like this one are too,all her music is great!
This is the first time I have heard this song, and I love it. It is so very sad that she is not here to write more songs and sing them with her phenomenal voice. There will never be another Amy; she was one of a kind. For her young age she touched so many people’s hearts. She really was a very special young lady who will go down in history as one of the best. 💕💕
Today was my first hearing it and it’s new me favorite Amy song❤️❤️🔥 I pray to meet her lovely soul in Heaven.
Brilliant. Genius.
this is so amazing. amy made wonderful music.
16 wow!! Im sixteen and I can’t even write a card 😂
Amy gone for ten years, yet artists who are not yet born will study this song for inspiration. Rest loved one, the world is still in shock.
God I miss her❤️
Love Amy and always happy to find gems like this, it’s fire asf
Loved/Love her...authenticity. She came as she was no aires nor any fakeness. She just left too soon. R.I.P Amy Jade.
Thanks to TH-cam for giving me the chance hearing this master piece.
........Empress of Jazz!
she is just unbelievable, her voice, her talent, her humanity i love her so much
It's scary that this was posted days before her death...
She was a musical genius! This song is extordinary! Luv her!!!!!!
I left a list of songs I want played at my funeral this is one of them.
Amy was so full of soul. A real one
Rip Amy and nip hussle the great
I can just imagine the 27 club band jammin' up in heaven; Jimi, Curt, Jim, Janis, Amy, Bradley, and many more.. If only Virgin Music had not sacrificed them to the giant owl...
