y'all probably don't know this about h lloyd but i'm a rather ambivalent cat. almost to the point of being a walking oxymoron. i mean i'm a high yellow black nationalists who likes wearing armani and an occasional daishiki. some would say i'm confused. i'd say my ego confuses me...as i am all things but yet my ego places me in boxes...i digress.i say all of this because ms. winehouse also causes ambivalence in me. i think that she is a supremely talented vocalist and writer but some of her stuff is knockoff. i can live with the drugs and the craziness because usually the best artists are crazy and/or drugged out. i think its cause most artists are in some sort of pain and that pain is the source of their artistic expression, depression, and subsequent unhealthy behaviors. that being said..."wake up alone" was probably my favorite song on her disc. to my delight i was then blessed with this more acoustic version...even possibly an early demo or alternate version...i dont know...don't really care.
this shit is dope.
