four years.
\ngoodness, it\u2019s been four years.
\nalready.
\nonly.<\/p>\n
i remember vividly:
\nthis pull; like a magnet; magnetic pull.
\na plead from her?
\nbinary star.<\/p>\n
so i shopped me a flight.
\njust had to.
\nmandatory.
\nok and for the record: stn.<\/p>\n
downing whiskey&coke in rememberance,
\nand saving the empty can.
\nonly one of the many preps,
\nand i\u2019d say the funnest.<\/p>\n
high up, accompanied by my first ever gotten uke, a concert.
\nand oh my head spinning…
\nand oh all these images rushing thru that very one…
\nand oh all these songs…
\nand oh all these chord progressions i had transferred to my little rattlebox weeks before, then certainly not expecting the worst.<\/p>\n
despite plenty of alarming signs.
\nkalemegdan park.
\ncertainly not a walk thru one.
\ndiabolic. sham.
\ndiashambolic.
\nbetter yet: fuckery!<\/p>\n
will i find a scenery like it had been depicted by all these gossipy tabloids?
\nwill it (still) be swarmed w\/ pilgrims?
\nwill police be around? security? mitch?
\nwill i be able to cope emotionally?<\/p>\n
accomodations set.
\nhop on a bus, the driver knows…<\/p>\n
borough of camden now.
\neclectic.
\nelectric.
\neccentric.
\nme? ecstatic!
\naltered state of consciousness.<\/p>\n
bump into a staggering peter doherty, exchanging a few words.
\nreally?
\nyou gotta be kidding!
\nwhat a trip so far.<\/p>\n
finally:
\n#30, a typical english brick house.
\nnow more of a sound-proofed shrine overlooking the adjacent square.
\nworth a million quid.
\nguarded too.
\nunlike 12 days ago.<\/p>\n
four months.
\ngoodness, it had been four months.
\nonly.
\nshe must\u2019ve gone thru this front door many a tym though.
\nby herself.
\nhigh… on music… or what not.<\/p>\n
my heartfelt farewell letter attached to the can.
\nsec puts it on the trash compartment in the front yard.
\n\u201emr. winehouse will pick it up personally\u201c.
\nreally?
\nwhat an assurance.
\ncomforting thought at least.<\/p>\n
a stone\u2019s throw away on the curb.
\n\u201cback to black\u201c: larger-than-life on four strings.
\ni mean it, i feel it.
\nethereal.
\n\u201cso far away\u201c.
\nyou hear me, AMY?<\/p>\n
back in the room now.
\nbeat.
\ndrained.
\nhollow. h o l l o w!
\nin the doldrums.
\na beat.<\/p>\n
melody first, became the hookline.
\nfirst chords, more words.
\nukie\u2019s a great midwife.
\nalways a reliable enabler.<\/p>\n
more days ahead.
\nprimrose hill,
\nroundhouse,
\ngraffiti down by the grand union canal – allegedly banksy,
\ngolders green crematorium (secular) and cemetery (jewish), london nw11,
\nthe hawley arms \u2013 of course
\nthe good mixer \u2013 of course
\nmore mourning ahead.<\/p>\n
and now the final frame:
\namyland bye bye
\nmy heart\u2019s bleeding…
\n… cry.<\/p>\n
gonna go for a
\nproduction on a larger scale.
\ndreadful.
\nmarvelous.<\/p>\n

\nMarius-Antonin Fleck<\/strong> ist Ukulelespieler, Musikenthusiast und regelm\u00e4\u00dfiger Kommentator auf diesem Blog. Kurz nach dem Tod von Amy Winehouse reiste er in den Londoner Stadtteil Camden um vor Ort und auf ganz pers\u00f6nliche Weise Abschied zu nehmen. W\u00e4hrend dieses Aufenthalts entstand der Song \u201eLeft me hollow\u201c, der fertig produziert auf seine Ver\u00f6ffentlichung wartet. Das obige Gedicht \u201eLeft me hollow \u2013 The Lament Poem\u201c ist eine k\u00fcnstlerische Reflexion dieser Erfahrung und gleichzeitig eine Reaktion auf den erst k\u00fcrzlich in die Kinos gekommenen Film \u201eAmy\u201c von Asif Kapadia. Amy Jade Winehouse verstarb am 23. Juli 2011 in ihrer Wohnung an einer akuten Alkoholvergiftung.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
