RIP Amy Winehouse: Eternal

I remember the first time I heard Amy winehouse. I was on a college trip to London, sitting in the Hawley  Arms pub, downing pints of Guinness and popping coins into a juke box. When her music hit me I didn’t feel like myself. I was lost somewhere distant, doing a lazy sway to the type of sound that just seemed to pulse through my veins. “Who is this?” I remember shouting, “Who is this on the radio, she’s amazing.” A man leaned over to me and said her name is Amy Winehouse, she lives around here.
