Amy Winehouse - You Sent Me Flying
Average Rate: 7.484
Highest Score: 10 (4x)
Lowest Score: 4 (2x)
Released in tandem with A-side single
In My Bed (still yet to come), You Sent Me Flying was the third single off of Amy's debut album,
Frank. She wrote it with Felix Howard, and one can really hear how young she was, vocally and lyrically.
I'd like to take a moment to post someone else's thoughts on this track, a writer from The Singles Jukebox:

This anomalous single from Winehouse’s debut tries a couple of things at once, not always successfully, but when it comes to polysyllabic self-pity it’s a battered triumph. Slurring and pinching her voice like Erykah Badu over an early nineties shufflebeat, Winehouse hugs the piano as if hoping to squeeze a melody out of it.

It is a shifting, churning song, always in search of something that never quite comes - the perfect embodiment of reckless yet mundane young love.
