According to the liner notes, Amy wrote this tune and plays guitar on it. But it has James Poyser (flutes & synthesizers) and ?uestlove (drums) of The Roots...which gives it that neo-soul feel, like some of the Badu tracks, which they've also played on.
@motownleatherjock Ahaa..I was thinking the instrumental sounds like Badu..go listen to "Telephone" by Erykah Badu..very similar instrumental. Two beautiful songs
The feeling I got when I first heard this song is what's missing from music. She seems to be challenging Erykah Badu in this one. I would have loved to see what type of album she would have really followed up B2B with.
@TJofDaWestunes I felt the same thing when I heard this song. It reminds me of Erykah Badu singing "The Game" Amy recorded this song when she was 19 back in 2002 so that was around the time when Erykah was at the top of her game. So I would guess Amy had that "sound" on her mind when she wrote this song, Either way, I love this song and I love Amy Winehouse...A true Original.
I never listend to amy till I herd of her death,Im stuck on her music.why Is It that I've never herd of her before,why is it that the greatest talent has to die before there time,R.I.P AMY
I love her so much i wish she was still alive to make music, i loved her music so much especially since it isnt trash that they completely change in the studio.
THIS is the Amy I love! I've always loved Frank better than Back 2 Black! Both are exceptional....but Frank has this smooth, jazzy feel and I love her voice esp on this song! Had she lived and this song somehow got released..it could've easily been a single. Amy was rare in that she had the voice along with awesome songwriting skills. Really, all of Amy's songs could've been singles!
Recorded back in 2002, Halftime "apparently" did not make it onto the Frank album. It should have. Yet another gem.
And with Amy's supernatural talents having now been forever silenced there is nobody -- NO ONE -- in this world that can even come close to carrying her torch. She set the bar too high.
What an inspiration for an otherwise uninspiring world.
@Loneleavemealone Amen. It truly is. The first time I ever heard her, I knew that God was not only full of miracles and blessings, but He was full of some of the most beautiful gifts that none of us could ever imagine.
She'll be there singing when we get there. I just know it. :)
Check out my song CATCH ME IF YOU CAN - LAETNYTE and tell me if i should stick with it...

Rhythm floods my heart
The melody it feeds my soul
The tune tears me apart
And it swallowed me whole
You should thank your lucky star
Cause the music is a gift
And it's stronger than all else
Who guards me with a bliss

that's the same thing I was thinking, she was the BEST artist of her generation
the past 3 decades, it's only Amy, Sade, Aaliyah, Whitney are the only ones that I listen to when it comes to women
It's sad that the best always have to past away
