Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow by Amy Winehouse
I didn’t post about this yesterday, because I was too disgusted with people’s ignorant and heartless remarks. It seemed like the entire world was in a mad scramble to be the first to say that she deserved it, and anyone who expressed empathy for her was misguided because surely there are people far more worthy of our compassion. But you know what? Compassion and empathy aren’t finite resources. Telling people that they shouldn’t spare a good thought for a self-destructive soul because those other people need it more is a bit like telling kids to clean their plates because there are starving babies in Biafra. We have big brains. We can multi-task. And I can feel unspeakably sad that a young woman lost her life while at the same time feeling compassion for every other human being on the planet who is in a crappy situation.
I wasn’t a huge fan of hers, but I love this song, and she did a beautiful job of covering it. R.I.P. Amy. You deserved better.
