Hola Vibes!! Es un gusto poder estar otra semana más en esta competencia musical, y esta vez les traigo la confesión de un alma atormentada, un testimonio de lucha personal, un tema que mi queridísima Amy Winehouse compuso con una honestidad brutal, su letra y su interpretación la convierten en un clásico moderno, y en una artista inolvidable.
Hello Vibes!! It's a pleasure to be able to be part of this musical competition for another week, and this time I bring you the confession of a tormented soul, a testimony of personal struggle, a song that my beloved Amy Winehouse composed with brutal honesty. Her lyrics and performance make her a modern classic and an unforgettable artist.
"You know I'm no good", canción que musicalmente combina elementos del jazz, soul y R&B, géneros característicos de la música de Amy. La referencia a Roger Moore conocido por su papel como James Bond, un personaje famoso por su encanto y habilidad para "derribar" a los hombres, añade una capa de ironía a la canción, y su instrumentación se pone a disposición total de la narrativa de la letra.
"You Know I'm No Good," a song that musically combines elements of jazz, soul, and R&B, genres characteristic of Amy's music. The reference to Roger Moore, known for his role as James Bond, a character famous for his charm and ability to "bring down" men, adds a layer of irony to the song, and its instrumentation is fully at the disposal of the narrative of the lyrics.
Amy, como bien dije al inicio, refleja en sus canciones su realidad, su vida, y esto fue lo que me encantó de ella y de su música, además de utilizar un formato instrumental muy rico, típico de una Jazz Band de los 50, con esos saxofones que te llegan al alma!!, sin dudas, un recordatorio de lo complejos que podemos llegar a ser los humanos y de cómo la música nos hace viajar hacia las emociones más profundas y crudas.
Solicito que no dejen de escuchar la canción original, y que escuchen otras canciones de esta maravillosa cantante y podrán entender lo que les digo.
Un saludo para todos, y aquí les va, disfrútenla!!
Amy, as I mentioned at the beginning, reflects her reality, her life, in her songs, and this is what I loved about her and her music. She also uses a very rich instrumental format, typical of a 1950s jazz band, with those saxophones that touch your soul! Without a doubt, a reminder of how complex we humans can be and how music takes us on a journey toward the deepest and rawest emotions.
I ask that you be sure to listen to the original song, and that you listen to other songs by this wonderful singer, and you'll understand what I'm saying.
Greetings to everyone, and here it goes, enjoy it!
LYRICS
Meet you downstairs in the bar and hurt
Your rolled up sleeves and your skull t-shirt
You say: What did you do with him today?
And sniffed me out like I was Tanqueray
'Cause you're my fella, my guy
Hand me your Stella and fly
By the time I'm out the door
You tear men down like Roger Moore
I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told you I was trouble
You know that I'm no good
Upstairs in bed with my ex-boy
He's in the place, but I can't get joy
Thinking on you in the final throes
This is when my buzzer goes
Run out to meet ya, chips and pita
You say: When we married, 'cause you're not bitter
There'll be none of him no more
I cried for you on the kitchen floor
I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told you I was trouble
You know that I'm no good
Sweet reunion, Jamaica and Spain
We're like how we were again
I'm in the tub, you on the seat
Lick your lips as I soap my feet
Then you notice likkle carpet burn
My stomach drop and my guts churn
You shrug, and it's the worst
Who truly stuck the knife in first?
I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told you I was trouble
You know that I'm no good
