A member of the National Youth Jazz Orchestra during her youth, Winehouse signed to Simon Fuller's 19 Management in 2002 and soon recorded a number of songs before signing a publishing deal with EMI. She also formed a working relationship with producer Salaam Remi through these record publishers. Winehouse's debut album, Frank, was released in 2003. Many of the album's songs were influenced by jazz and, apart from two covers, were co-written by Winehouse. Frank was a critical success in the UK and was nominated for the Mercury Prize. The song "Stronger Than Me" won her the Ivor Novello Award for Best Contemporary Song from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors.
Winehouse released her follow-up album, Back to Black, in 2006, which went on to become an international success and one of the best-selling albums in UK history. At the 2007 Brit Awards it was nominated for British Album of the Year, and she received the award for British Female Solo Artist. The song "Rehab" won her a second Ivor Novello Award. At the 50th Grammy Awards in 2008, she won five awards, tying the then record for the most wins by a female artist in a single night and becoming the first British woman to win five Grammys, including three of the General Field "Big Four" Grammy Awards: Best New Artist, Record of the Year and Song of the Year (for "Rehab"), as well as Best Pop Vocal Album.
Winehouse was plagued by drug and alcohol addiction. She died of alcohol poisoning on 23 July 2011, at the age of 27. After her death, Back to Black temporarily became the UK's best-selling album of the 21st century. VH1 ranked Winehouse 26th on their list of the 100 Greatest Women in Music.
I Heard Love Is Blind
Amy Winehouse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
His eyes were like yours
His hair was exactly the shade of brown
He's just not as tall, but I couldn't tell
It was dark and I was lying down
You are everything, he means nothing to me
I can't even remember his name
Baby, you weren't there and I was thinking of you when I came
What do you expect?
You left me here alone, I drank so much and needed to touch
Don't overreact, I pretended he was you
You wouldn't want me to be lonely
How can I put it so you understand?
I didn't let him hold my hand
But he looked like you I guess he looked like you
No he wasn't you
But you can still trust me, this ain't infidelity
It's not cheating you were on my mind
Yes he looked like you
But I heard love is blind
In Amy Winehouse’s song “I Heard Love Is Blind,” the lyrics depict the singer explaining to her significant other that she was with someone else, but it didn't mean anything because he reminded her of him. The song emphasizes the message that sometimes love makes people do foolish things, but it doesn't change the way they feel about their partner. In the opening stanza, she describes the physical similarities between the person she was with and her significant other. However, later in the song, she reminds her lover that he is everything to her, and the other guy meant nothing. Throughout the song, Amy tries to explain that the physical appearance of this other person does not matter because her heart belongs to her lover.
The perspective of this song is incredibly relevant to our times. It's easy for people to get caught up in situations that don't mean anything and forget about the ones they love. Amy suggests that love can be blind, where physical appearances and qualities don't matter as much as loved ones' emotional connection. It is this connection that triumphs over everything else in the end.

I couldn't resist him
His eyes were like yours
His hair was exactly the shade of brown
He's just not as tall, but I couldn't tell
It was dark and I was lying down
You are everything - he means nothing to me
I can't even remember his name
Why're you so upset?
Baby, you weren't there and I was thinking of you when I came
What do you expect?
You left me here alone; I drank so much and needed to touch
Don't overreact - I pretended he was you
You wouldn't want me to be lonely
How can I put it so you understand?

But he looked like you; I guess he looked like you

But you can still trust me, this ain't infidelity
It's not cheating; you were on my mind
Yes he looked like you
But I heard love is blind...

There is no female artist featuring high in pop charts today who writes lyrics even close to this. What a poet, what a voice, I'm saddened I'll never hear you in person. Thank you Amy x
