Amy Winehouse a musician who was well known for her promiscuous lifestyle died this weekend at the tender age of 27. My sympathy goes out to the family, friends and fans of this artist, but this sudden death should come as no surprise because her lifestyle was well known through her music. Her song “they tried to make me go to rehab, I said, "No, no, no" Yes, I've been black but when I come back you'll know, know, know I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine He's tried to make me go to rehab, I won't go, go, go” is a clear indication that Winehouse was really troubled.
It is scary that millions of people looked up to Winehouse as a role model and many children today might be lost in their morals because they think Winehouse’s songs and lifestyle was a good example. It is sad how both children and adults sing along to some song lyrics without undertstanding the history and meaning of the song.
I am sure many people sing the Lady Gaga song Judas. A verse in the song goes “In the most Biblical sense, I am beyond repentance Fame hooker, prostitute wench vomits her mind But in the cultural sense I just speak in future tense Judas, kiss me if offenced, Or wear ear condom next time.”
It is important for us to understand what we sing about, because if we not we might be just as lost as some musicians.
