Amy Winehouse is one of those rare artists who will become more appreciated and loved as time passes. Her two albums (and the recently released deep cuts) are timeless, brilliantly composed, and inarguably human. She had such an appreciation for music of all genres, and it shines through in her music. As the video mentions her work stood out in the early 2000's, and I think it will continue to.
Really? Shes widely seen as a brillant artist. She lived a tragic life and the terrible shit said about her in the tabloids only contributed to her early death.
@@nedisahonkey yeah I always heard jokes or people dressing up and doing crappy impressions of her but other than some family members, I never really heard anything positive about her.
Watch the documentary “Amy” on Netflix. It won best documentary a few years ago, and shows the true artist under all the bad publicity and what a tragedy it was we lost her so early
This is truly a gut wrenching album, the familiarity of the tunes bring you in and the rawness keep you around. I get a bit sad because in Brazil a humour program made a sketch making fun of rage fits as a pulling an "Amy Winehouse moment" and it unfortunately reduced the "seriousness" of her music for most people. It's a great album and she's really a great singer!
Was gutted when she died, am still. It was horrific the jokes that came at he expense. She was so genuine, a vulnerable person. That my friends is not a weakness. When will we learn.
When I was younger, I remember finding "Rehab" to be just a funny song, and I would mockingingly sing it with my cousin, just as a joke, and little did I know, not too many years later, I'd be in the same situation. Addict of 8 or 9 years, but I never been to rehab. Methadone clinic, counselling, and intensive outpatient, but never rehab. Crazy how life goes.
Being just a unaware kid in the 2000s I actually just kind of assumed Amy Whinehouses music was a lot older than it was. I remember realizing when it was actually from and being shocked. Songs like Back to Black and Rehab just seemed like those timeless, always been there in the cultural conscious kind of songs to me.
I loved Amy Winehouse's music. I was really sad when she passed. Also sad for the beautiful (and so so relatable) music that we won't ever get to hear.
This did her so much justice. I loveeee Amy Whitehouse but no one ever talks about her that much anymore so this really open her back up to the world. Let’s not ever forget her. Thank youuuu
Oh, by the way, I live on the same road that Amy is buried on. It's a looong road called Edgwarebury Lane, and she is at the very top of it, next to a field of horses. It's a rather beautiful and unusual part of North London. RIP Amy x
I haven't heard people talking about her timbre/tone. Her voice sounds like a trumpet to me in many of her songs - it's like a jazz instrument played elegantly by a talented musician. Her phrasing choices and how her voice blends in with the other instruments - I think that's at least part of what makes her songs so great.
Back to Black...That girl spoke to my soul. And she was so real about her soul, and what she went through. When you’re as honest as you’re living, it makes for great music
He didn’t mention the fact that “Black” is also a name to heroin (as in black tar heroin). In her case Black isn’t just about the darkness of depression and despair but also about her relationship with heroin.
No fuck no it’s about her depression only her depression and the break up. With Blake she hadnt some drugs til late 2007 and got off hard drugs in 2008 so it was about a year so fuck you you have no idea wen you have legit no fucking clue
Thank you for doing a quick breakdown on Back to Black. When I first heard Rehab, I was actually surprised to learn that Amy was not a Motown singer, but rather someone who captured that essence and vibe perfectly. I don't impress with 2000s pop easily. A lot of it (especially since about 2010 onward ) is overprocessed BS crap. I came across the song Back to Black and fell in love. Eventually I got her albums. I was blown away at how she really captured the older style jazz in Frank, and then turned around and did Motown in Back to Black. Extremely talented. I can't say this about a lot of other artists today (Adele is one who comes pretty damn close). Thank you for exposing the beauty of Back to Black. It was well done. I would love to hear your take on Frank. Amy, your fans miss you more than you will ever realize. RIP
Since we're on the subject of the 27 Club members, I think we're well overdue for a Jim Morrison and Janis Joplin video. I'd love to see you tackle the poetry of The Doors and the incredible voice of Janis
I really dug her talent. I have all her music. Such a shame she was only around for such a short period of time, but the effect she had was much more than some artists who've been around much longer.
She was an amazing talent. Brilliant songwriter with an amazing voice , and style. Such a tragic waste. I often thing about where should would be today, the body of work she would have created since back to black. She could have been this centuries Ella Fitzgerald or Nina Simone.
In terms of her vocal style, she often said she was hugely influenced by Dinah Washington and Sarah Vaughan. She even sings about Sarah in "October Song".
Maybe, I tend to feel she said what she wanted to say and then she split. Art can have a very short radioactive half life....Basquiat, Cobain, Joplin, Heath Ledger, Jim Morrison etc.....
Whenever I listen to her songs. You can just feel the heartbreak in her voice and lyrics. A vunerable and beautiful soul indeed Amy was.. Still not over the fact she is gone.
Thank you so much for doing this much needed video!! I have been an avid fan of Amy's since her Frank debut, and heck she even passed on my birthday which I always thought was eerie, anywho thank you for keeping her beautiful memory and ridiculously mesmerizing talent alive. It means a lot to me. New subscriber!
I’d recommend the documentary “Amy” directed by Asif Capafia if anyone wants to discover more of this story. It’s built entirely from archival footage and really doesn’t feel like your average documentary.
The documentary completely left out all the support and help that Amy's friends and family gave her, making it seem like no one around her cared about her, when that is simply not the reality. It also gave the impression that Amy was at her worst by the end of her life, when she had actually beaten drug addiction and was a recovering alcoholic, having longer and longer sober periods after every relapse. It never even mentioned that she was engaged at the end of her life, to Reg Travis, who had an excellent impact of her life. The film does showa lot of rare and precious footage of Amy that you can't find anywhere else, but those who want to watch it need to keep in mind that it is full of slander, word-twisting and unfair blaming from people who had never even met Amy.
And yet, if you think about it, Amy wouldn’t have wrote those songs. All the songs in Back to Black are basically about Blake and her addiction (which was started by Blake himself).
I respect the accurate and poignant review of the album and amy's life. I am the self-proclaimed " biggest amy winehouse fan of all time" and it infurates me how the media and people's perspective on her and her legacy were so misinformed. This video was not only well written but educational and accurate and i am highly impressed.
Amy Winehouse:) I respect her!! in a lot of ways. She was before her time! her music was awesome classical jazz! she was loving caring and funny:) the videos that I've watched of amy the way she dances! is cute a lot of people go through this but they just don't know how to stop she was a good person unfortunately we lost her we just got to keep her our memories:) 2022 rest in peace Amy jade Winehouse:) ❤ happy belated birthday wishes ❤
The thing that got me interested into Amy Whinehouses music was something I find sorta strange but I imagine I’m not the only one who was introduced this way and this was by Green Day’s Amy a heartbreaking tune
Still in the top 10 albums I listen to on a regular basis. It is by far one of the most honest and gut wrenching albums I have ever heard. Her songs and her vocals really make you feel it. I will always love her for it.
Hey polyphonic, great video! Could you do a video in the future about Alistair Crowley and his influence on music? I feel like this would be quite an interesting topic, and would love to see where you take it!
Love Amy, just an absolute legend. Gone before her time.... But it always seemed like that song was already written, like she was destined to be in the 27 club. Along with many other greats
My mother actually went through a situation just like the album's story, (except it was the death of her husband and my father, not a breakup) especially in Rehab, a couple of years before and after the release, so this became her favourite album of all time and now I can't hear it without breaking down in tears.
These videos are unreal. I never liked Winehouse’s mainstream music, but thanks to you I think I went back and listened to the album and honestly, I like it. It was the same with the video on the Blue Oyster Cult. The way you can pick the tiny details completely changed my perception of the song. In fact, these videos have changed my thoughts on a lot of music.
I rarely get actually excited to see videos in my sub box, but this on really got me hyped. Keep up the good work, it's been great seeing your channel grow.
This channel is so good!! thank you for all you do! I was wondering if I could put up a suggestion - Tracy Chapman or Missy Elliot? Both super iconic imo
I think you should make this a series about breaking down the best break up albums. Not only romantic relationships but band break-ups, etc. My first recommendation would be For Emma, For Ever Ago I’d love to here some other suggestions
PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON THE GILMAN STREET PROJECT IN BERKELEY. I LOVE 90s PUNK ROCK AND ITS SUCH A COOL THING. I love Green Day with my heart and 924 Gilman is such an incredible place. I’d love for you to look into it.
It wasn't that bad of an era, honestly, I've been listening back to some stuff from back than and was surprised how much I liked. She was one of the greatest, though, era be damned. Hell, she would have shined in the hey-day of this style, probably (white privilege helps...)
I would love to see your take on the story of Sixto Rodriguez. I know Searching for the Sugar Man outlined it pretty well, but an analysis of some of the musical factors or his songs would be amazing.
Great video. While I personally cannot stand Amy Winehouse's voice, this gave me a whole new appreciation for her work. I wish I could get past that hang up but her voice just really really repels me.
Please, please please please, do something on Elton John's music. Whether it be the series of films found in the entirety of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, the depressing heartbreak found in Blue Moves, or the story of the criminal in "Have Mercy On The Criminal" from the Don't Shoot Me album, his music is worthy of one of these videos.
Fantastic dissection of a brilliant artist, her work, and her struggle. A+ Polyphonic, this is great. Wish you'd stayed a longer Amy. Doesn't always work that way I guess.
Thanks for this deeper analysis into Back to Black. While I knew about the lyrics and the influences. Putting it all together with the chords and the 60s music was fascinating.
Possibly the last great 'popular music' album ? On the surface it seemed very 'pop' but clearly very very dark underneath. (Since then what have we had ? Adele / Ed Sheeran / Taylor Swift ?). The documentary that came out a couple of years ago about her in the cinemas was excellent.
Grace Jones and the Compass Point All-Stars studio (owned by Chris Blackwell) made some iconic albums: Warm Leatherette, Nightclubbing, Living My Life, Slave to the Rhythm and Island Life. Could you make a documentary about this unappreciated talent?
I'll have to give this another listen. It was sad to watch Amy spin out and destroy herself, but I'm so grateful for her awareness and honesty. I'm sure future generations will benefit from this warning from one who knew so well.
This is really the best channel on youtube right now. Also just saying i would love to see a video about how Guns n' Roses became the biggest band in the world or just something about GNR anyway love your videos and tbh i'd watch even if you made a video about Finnish kids music or something. Keep up the good stuff.

@@nedisahonkey yeah I always heard jokes or people dressing up and doing crappy impressions of her but other than some family members, I never really heard anything positive about her.
@@edog4153 That's fucked up. Making fun of someone for their addiction, especially when it took their life, is completley uncalled for.

We were all unconsiderate back then. And what a loss her death was, because of this.
@Ramon S Yeah, what goes around comes around
Was gutted when she died, am still. It was horrific the jokes that came at he expense. She was so genuine, a vulnerable person. That my friends is not a weakness. When will we learn.
Oh, Pânico... Not even when "it used to be good" it actually used to be good.
You have no clue how happy I am you made this video. Amy Winehouse is damn amazing
Same! Long live queen Amy 🖤

Aint as glamorous as Hollywood and Amy had you thinking? What a shocker!
@@SuperTigerTV did I say that? No, don't believe I did.
@@SuperTigerTV calm tf down
@@SuperTigerTV not even remotely the point of what they were saying.
How are you now, after 4 years? Been to rehab yet or did you get clean/sober on your own?
Amy's voice and lyrics were so raw and real. It's so amazing to think of what could have been and so sad it ended so quickly.
Being just a unaware kid in the 2000s I actually just kind of assumed Amy Whinehouses music was a lot older than it was. I remember realizing when it was actually from and being shocked.

Its brown not black
@@simonchaddock3694 both are right. It depends on where you are too though as there are differences between British and American street slang
she wasn’t doing heroin yet, she first did it after her and blake got married (which was after the album came out)
this is false information :/
No fuck no it’s about her depression only her depression and the break up. With Blake she hadnt some drugs til late 2007 and got off hard drugs in 2008 so it was about a year so fuck you you have no idea wen you have legit no fucking clue
Every time I learn about a new tragic story in music, I check if you have a video on it. And you always do. Noah, never stop what you're doing.
This channel is so good! You put so much effort into these and it really shows.

@@caseywalker1714 both.
Sadly we only got a doors one.
No Joplin. Yet
Its clear they were taken to facilitate glamorizing death.
I really dug her talent. I have all her music. Such a shame she was only around for such a short period of time, but the effect she had was much more than some artists who've been around much longer.
Amy Winehouse saves me and my heart during the summer of 2018
She was an amazing talent. Brilliant songwriter with an amazing voice , and style. Such a tragic waste. I often thing about where should would be today, the body of work she would have created since back to black. She could have been this centuries Ella Fitzgerald or Nina Simone.

I would love to hear you talk about Dirt from Alice in Chains. I think there is no better album about depression and substence abuse.
Here! Here!
That album is DARK as FUCK!
Absolutely agree. That is such a dark album. One of my favourites ever.
Not when Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space exists
An album so good at relaying a vibe that it gives you authentic suicidal ideation!
That guy was poison. He got her hooked on crack and heroin. She'd be alive today if she hadn't ran into him.
And yet, if you think about it, Amy wouldn’t have wrote those songs. All the songs in Back to Black are basically about Blake and her addiction (which was started by Blake himself).

The Billie Holiday of our age
adonai yah TRULY
Amy didnt like Billie Holiday ironically
Guisamopa 101 why
Remix Dragon i dont know she just said "fuck her" in an interview where they were talking about jazz music and the reporter mentioned Billie Holiday.
The Sierra SuTM the Aretha Franklin of our generation
Still in the top 10 albums I listen to on a regular basis. It is by far one of the most honest and gut wrenching albums I have ever heard. Her songs and her vocals really make you feel it. I will always love her for it.
Incredible woman. My family love her songs - the piano in this song really gets me as well as her beautiful voice.
Amy’s music changed my life. She was truly brilliant

Back to Black is easily one of the greatest albums of all time.
Such an incredible loss. Amy was such a talent. Always makes me sad to think about where she could’ve gone had she lived. Rip Amy.
,,So many breakup songs talk of being sad,but so few talk about the side effects of that"

Who wants to see a video on SADE... I do. Polyphonic make it happen...please
Every song and album you talk about I downloaded after your anylsis your just great at breaking down artist your one of my favorite channels.
U should talk about "an american prayer" by the doors with Jim Morrison poems i never seen an álbum lime that
The lyric 'I don't ever wanna drink again. I just, ooh just need a friend.' is always heartbreaking to hear.
The best album of 21st Century

and this one is a gem... one of your best!
Great video. While I personally cannot stand Amy Winehouse's voice, this gave me a whole new appreciation for her work.
I wish I could get past that hang up but her voice just really really repels me.
Please, please please please, do something on Elton John's music. Whether it be the series of films found in the entirety of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, the depressing heartbreak found in Blue Moves, or the story of the criminal in "Have Mercy On The Criminal" from the Don't Shoot Me album, his music is worthy of one of these videos.
Thank GOD someone else has brain cells. Totally agree there is so much in his music
One of your best!
Fantastic dissection of a brilliant artist, her work, and her struggle. A+ Polyphonic, this is great. Wish you'd stayed a longer Amy. Doesn't always work that way I guess.
This is one of your best videos in awhile...keep it up
I really listen to and understand music so differently when I’ve watched your videos
Thanks for this deeper analysis into Back to Black. While I knew about the lyrics and the influences. Putting it all together with the chords and the 60s music was fascinating.
Please do a video on Lead Belly. Thanks for the amazing content!
This channel is what TH-cam quality looks and sounds like.
Possibly the last great 'popular music' album ? On the surface it seemed very 'pop' but clearly very very dark underneath. (Since then what have we had ? Adele / Ed Sheeran / Taylor Swift ?). The documentary that came out a couple of years ago about her in the cinemas was excellent.

Wow , that was a awesome video I’m glad I found you!
You just keep making the best quality material.
Great job! :) Greetings from Mexico.
Keep up the good work man, your work is amazing.
Frank is amazing too. Please, make a video about that album!!
Rehab has to be the best song of this millennium
I think it may be time for a video on the original Chicago line up. Criminally underrated.
If 'Rumors' is considered a breakup album, I don't see how it can be topped.
3:07 My favorite of all her songs
I can't wait for this channel to rocket to the mainstream lime we know it's going to. This channel is amazing

Interesting how “Back to Black” could also be an allusion to blackout drinking or even black tar heroin.
Amy is just a genius
Simply Stunning, thank´s for this video. I have no more words to say, just outstanding. Regards mate
Your videos are great, and I really enjoyed this one, but discussing this album with no mention of Mark Ronson? Big miss.
This is really the best channel on youtube right now.

Keep up the good stuff.
Great video man 👍
YESSSSSSS WORDS AND EMOJIS CANNOT EXPRESS HOW EXCITED I AM FOR THIS ALBUM AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Like IDHBTFM- mixing old and modern elements to create something timeless and new:)
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard man, that would be perfect for this channel
Amy Winehouse is timeless.
another fantastic Segway at the end my dude, never letting me down on those
Your videos make my Thursday! I love them!
He didn't mention Nas is Mr. Jones
Please doooooo a doors. It would be good. Thanks sailor :)
Thank you @polyphonic
