"October Song", sebuah lagu yang dibawakan dengan penuh perasaan oleh Amy Winehouse, mengeksplorasi tema kehilangan dan transformasi. Lirik yang menyayat hati menangkap rasa sakit yang mendalam dari hilangnya orang yang dicintai, menyandingkannya dengan harapan akan kelahiran kembali dan penyembuhan. Dengan metafora burung yang terbang menjauh, Winehouse mengisyaratkan perjalanan spiritual yang dilakukan orang yang meninggal, bernyanyi tentang transendensi dan kedamaian yang mereka temukan di alam baka.
October Song Lyrics
Amy Winehouse
Today my bird flew away
gone to find her big blue jay
Starlight before she took flight
I sung a lullaby of bird land everynight
I sang a lullaby every night
sang for my Ava every night.
Ava was the morning, now she's gone
she's reborn like Sarah Vaughan
In the sanctuary she has found
birds surround her sweet sound
and Ava flies in paradise
and Ava flies in paradise
With dread I woke in my bed
to shooting pains up in my head
Lovebird, my beautiful bird
Spoken 'til one day she couldn't be heard
She spoke until one day she coudlnt be heard
she just stopped singing
Ava was the morning, now she's gone
she's reborn like Sarah Vaughan
In the sanctuary she has found
birds surround her sweet sound
and Ava flies in paradise [x3]
gone to find her big blue jay
Starlight before she took flight
I sung a lullaby of bird land everynight
I sang a lullaby every night
sang for my Ava every night.
Ava was the morning, now she's gone
she's reborn like Sarah Vaughan
In the sanctuary she has found
birds surround her sweet sound
and Ava flies in paradise
and Ava flies in paradise
With dread I woke in my bed
to shooting pains up in my head
Lovebird, my beautiful bird
Spoken 'til one day she couldn't be heard
She spoke until one day she coudlnt be heard
she just stopped singing
Ava was the morning, now she's gone
she's reborn like Sarah Vaughan
In the sanctuary she has found
birds surround her sweet sound
and Ava flies in paradise [x3]
