Amy Winehouse

when i heard about her death
i ran out to buy her record
something about her death to me
made her music much much better
someone from this world was taken
far too soon than usual
they say they offered her some help
but all they got was her refusal

they tried to make her go to rehab but she said "no no no"...I was saddened to hear the news, she was a favourite of mine, did you run out to get her 'back to black' album? it's a classic, I forgot how good it was until I listened to it again, so many great songs on it...besides, I have to like her, she was my terrible twin - same birthday haha
