Back to Black
BTB1
Album: None
Released: May 17, 2011
By: Amy Winehouse
Sung by: Santana Lopez
Solos: Santana
Place: The April Rhodes Civic Pavilion
Episode: Funeral

Back to Black by Amy Winehouse is featured in Funeral, the twenty first episode of Season Two. It is sung by Santana in an attempt to get a solo at Nationals, but Jesse says she is too mean, and that the song lacks the emotional depth that Amy Winehouse gives to the song.

This song was originally released on Amy Winehouse's second album Back To Black. It incorporated 1960s soul music styles and modern R&B production with subjective lyrics that concern relationships and reflected on Amy Winehouse's experiences with drinking, sex and drugs.

Lyrics

Santana:
He left no time to regret
Kept his lips 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 good-bye 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 good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

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

Reception

For TV Fanatics, Chris O'Hara said that Naya Rivera did "justice" to her cover of "Back To Black", but stated she sounded too "sober" for the song. Glee Review: "Funeral"
