Half Time
Amy Winehouse Lyrics

Simple sweet guitar
The guitar sound is pure and innocent, creating a simple atmosphere.

Humbled by the bass
The bass sound is powerful, giving the guitar a humble quality.

So when the beat kicks in
Once the rhythm is established, the song comes to life.

Everything falls into place
The instruments and vocals blend perfectly, creating a cohesive whole.

And it overpowers me
The music is so strong that it takes over the singer's emotions and body.

I can't help but dance
The music inspires movement and makes the singer want to dance.

You can try to stop me now
Despite any attempts to prevent it, the singer will keep dancing.

But you won't get the chance
The singer is determined to continue dancing and won't let anyone interfere.

Half time
A pause in the music to catch a breath and reflect on what has been played so far.

Time to think it through
A moment of introspection to consider what changes need to be made.

Consider the change
Reflect on how things can be improved or done differently for the later half of the song.

Rhythm floods my heart
The steady beat of the music fills the singer with passion and energy.

The melody it feeds my soul
The key melody of the song soothes and satisfies the singer's inner desires.

The tune tears me apart
The song is so powerful that it moves the singer to tears.

And it swallows me whole
The intensity of the music overpowers the singer and takes them under its spell.

You should thank your lucky stars
Be grateful for the gift of music in your life.

Cause the music is a gift
The pure, awe-inspiring force of music is a gift to be cherished.

And it's stronger than all else
Music has the power to conquer anything, even the strongest emotions or obstacles.

Provides me with uplift
The music lifts the singer up and inspires them through its power.

My lyrics revealing
The words I sing expose something about myself.

Some natural vibe
The song has a simple, organic feel to it.

Some kind of laid back feeling
The song has a relaxed and casual vibe to it.

Oh, just let it ride
Don't overthink or try to control the music, let it play out naturally.

And when Frank Sinatra sings
The smooth and polished vocals of Frank Sinatra are inspiring.

It's too much to take
The emotional weight of the song is almost overwhelming.

So I sing the standard shit
To take the pressure off, the singer switches to singing something more basic and familiar.

It pacifies my ache, ya, ya, ya
Singing these simpler, standard lyrics calms the singer's emotions and brings them back down to earth.
