Hive Open Mic Week 242 II Back to Black (Cover) by BabyMoyin

Hi, Hive Open Mic family!

Welcome to week 1242. The theme of this week is Color of My Soul, and I’m singing Back to Black by Amy Winehouse.

I picked this song because it feels like a deep, dark part of the soul. It’s not a happy song—it’s about heartbreak, loss, and going back to sadness even when you know it will hurt. It shows how pain can pull you in and take over, leaving you stuck in a place you don’t want to be.

Sometimes life feels this way, like you can’t escape the darker moments. That’s why this song spoke to me for this theme. Amy’s voice brings so much emotion, and I tried to bring that feeling into my performance.

Thank you for listening, and I’ll see you next week!

Here are the lyrics:

He left no time to regret
Kept his thing wet
With his same old safe bet
Me and my head high
And my tears dry
Get on without my guy

You went back to what you knew
So far removed from all that we went through
And I tread a troubled track
My odds are stacked
I'll go back to black

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to...

I go back to us

I love you much
It's not enough
You love blow and I love puff
And life is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to...

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to...

Black, black, black, black, black, black, black
I go back to...
I go back to...

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to...

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to black
