"Back To Black" - Amy Winehouse UKULELE cover by @jessamynorchard

When I first picked up the ukulele, this was one of the first songs I learned to play. I love the passion in Amy Winehouse's voice, and think she is most definitely among the prized artists of our generation that we lost way too early.

This song is very special to me, just because of the dark emotion captured within it. Obviously the breakup being described in the song is a tough one. One has seemingly moved on, while the other one observes this from afar and is experiencing extreme pain as a result of this. I feel these people may have been toxic for each other, but that doesn't make splitting up or saying goodbye any easier. This song tells an epically intense story that I've always loved visiting.

This video was filmed at Phelps Grove Park in Springfield, which is one of my favorite places to just sit and jam some tunes. This was originally released to my Patrons on Patreon, but I'm bringing you the HD video here to Steemit as well. I do hope you enjoy it.

@mandolincarls Thank you so much to you and the @dropAhead Curation Team for your support! I appreciate it more than you guys know. 💚

This was so beautiful! I love Amy Winehouse but always say she is one of my "guilty pleasures". Thank you so much for putting your heart into this song. It was very moving. Love you and all that you do!!!

@sallyswitchblade You know, Dave Grohl is quoted as saying he doesn't believe in guilty pleasures, and I'm inclined to agree with him. We should never feel guilty listening to music that moves us!!

Thank you for listening and for your incredibly kind words. I love and miss you so, my friend! 💚💚

dig it :)

Thank you! Really dig your latest, too!! 💚

Love Amy, and this. Thanks for sharing!!

Awesome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. :)

@thebigdelay Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed it, and I humbly appreciate the UV and RS. <3

Wowzers!!! This was way cool! I've never listened to Amy Winehouse, but this was a great tribute, especially with the uke.
