Love Is A Losing Game by Amy Winehouse (Live Performance)
The late Amy Winehouse performs ‘Love Is A Losing Game’ live at The BRIT Awards 2008.
Amy Winehouse has a unique sound. Sultry,smooth,rough, and mellow all at the same time. She has a style which is reminiscence of the artist of the past. Her personal life belongs to her, but her professional products are to be enjoyed by the public. And enjoyment is definitely the outcome.
This song is absolute perfection, if you don’t feel anything when you listen to this song you have never been in love, & lost love. It’s the kind of thing that makes you shake your head in disbelief, because of the heart felt genius of the lyrics. Just close your eyes & listen, breathe in & take it all in. 2.48 mins that’s all it is & her voice, her inflection of the lyrics says everything. All of that album, how many people could be so honest & so personal & at the same time be so relatable.
Lyrics
For you I was a flame
Love is a losing game
Five story fire as you came
Love is a losing game
One I wish I never played
Oh, what a mess we made
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game
Played out by the band
Love is a losing hand
More than I could stand
Love is a losing hand
Self professed, profound
Till the chips were down
Know you’re a gambling man
Love is a losing hand
Tho I battled blind
Love is a fate resigned
Memories mar my mind
Love is a fate resigned
Over futile odds
And laughed at by the gods
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game
Songwriters: Amy Winehouse
