about

Marius perceived the basic idea while he sat in the park right across Amy Winehouse’s apartment in Camden/London shortly after her sudden death in 2011.

in order to squeeze in as much words into the songs as possible, he later decided to have a rap section.

lyrics

Amy, bye bye, my heart's bleeding cry
You left me hollow
Amy, bye bye

I heard your voice, you flashed a smile
My heart stopped beating for a while
I jammed your songs on my guitar
It's you and me, binary star

You came to fame, fame's a losing game
Me, i'll go back, i'll go back to black

Amy, bye bye, my heart's bleeding cry
You left me hollow
Amy, bye bye

beehive black, smoking crack
5 foot 3 – fuckin’ Miami

betta yet “fuckery” - who say dat!?

headscarf, satin ballet flats

kohl black eyeliner, teeth witta gap

minidress jewess… sailor tatts

35,ooo pounds worth a cleavage

singin’ dope hooks leavin’ ev’rybody speechless

retro wear, underwear, outwear

u waz on tha go, always out there

unraveled in the public eye, the icon

now you’re the bleeding cry of my bygones

a vintage chick, flair for the drama

u hadda lotta pros, u hadda lotta contras

contra-alto, bellowing jazz voice

wherever u waz at waz pickin’ them bad boyz

the controversial Camden Market Queen

that’s where u’d been seen…

Sylvia Young Theater School

later on caught shootin’ pool

from tha “Hawley Arms” to “The Good Mixer” pub

from The Brit Awards to the 27 Club

just couldn’t seem ta shake tha bad habits

barely functioning… alcohol… addict

size 4… could’a been the heroin

cigarette replacement - oh what a surrogate

rehabilitation… gotta do ta rehab

tryna make ya go… uh-oh… relapse…

7-23-11

that’s when the angles took u ta heaven

and now I feel two things… when I hear u sing

that's utter joy and bitter pain - i miss you!

You came to fame, fame's a losing game
Me, i'll go back, i'll go back to black

Amy, bye bye, my heart's bleeding cry
You left me hollow
Amy, bye by

Amy, bye bye, you set my soul on fire
Your music won't die, fly Amy, fly!
