Dopo quanto fatto dalla rapper M.I.A, che ha pubblicato il brano “27”, un pezzo dedicato “ai mie amici morti a 27 anni” tra i quali Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin e anche Amy Winehouse, un’altra band ha deciso di omaggiare la famosa cantante britannica.
I Green Day hanno deciso di dedicare una canzone, intitolata “Amy“, alla cantante scomparsa il 23 luglio scorso, presentandola in anteprima al Tiki Bar di Costa Mesa.
Il brano ripercorre la difficile esistenza della giovane artista. Troverete di seguito il testo della canzone.
Amy is your heart singing out of tune
Are your eyes just singing the blues
Dirty records from another time
Some blood stains on your shoes
No one really knows about your soul
And i barely even know your name
Burning rhythms and posting lies
For a bunch of fools drown in shame
Amy don’t you go
I want you around
Singin’ woah please don’t go
Do you wanna be a friend of mine?
Did you tattoo a lucky charm
To keep you out of harms way?
Warding off all evil signs
But it never really kept you safe
You’re too young for the golden age
Cause the record bin’s been replaced
27 gone without a trace
And you walked away from your drink
Is your heart singing out of tune
Are you eyes just singing the blues?
Dirty records from another time
Some blood stains on your shoes
May i have this last dance
By chance if we should meet?
Can you write me a lullaby?
So we can sing you to sleep.
Alessandra Battistini
