Amy Winehouse (1983 –2011) is something special. A soul singer with soul. Listen to this intimate acoustic rendition of "Love is a Losing Game":

Watching (listening) to Amy sing this song, I am reminded that life goes fast. For Amy, it lasted only 27 years. For me, this song is especially poignant. The beauty and power of Amy's rendition on loss in love paradoxically reminds me that whatever challenges one's life brings, it is truly a gift to be alive and living one's life. Having already been here nearly twice as long as Amy lived, I am reminded that each and every day is a gift, to be treasured and lived to the fullest.
