The Story Behind the Song: “You Know I’m No Good” by Amy Winehouse
Joining Mario for this week’s Story Behind the Song was singer songwriter Owen Denvir, who will be releasing a trilogy of EP’s over the next 12 months. Each with their own theme and story, that when all are released, will form Owen's first full length album. The single 'Ghost' is the first single from the first EP (Sticks).
With over 100,000 streams on Spotify, combined video views of over 2 million, Belfast born Denvir has asserted himself as one of the finest singer songwriters around.
Recorded in his home studio, new single Ghost was written by Denvir as an outlet for anxieties after dealing with a ghosting situation on dating app Tinder.
Call it crazy, but between writing and recording the song, Denvir and his family had a run-in with a more literal definition of 'ghost'. At one point, Denvir was driving alone on the motorway when he heard loud repeated tapping on the rear window. Strange enough - but a week later, his sister texted asking why he was chatting with someone in his car outside their house. She then walked in to find he had been in the kitchen the whole time. Just a mad story? Or a seal of paranormal approval for the song? You decide...
Owen’s choice of song was You Know I’m No Good by Amy Winehouse. It’s the second single off the 2006 album Back to Black.
The song borrows the bass line from House of Pain's 1992 Transatlantic Top 10 single "Jump Around."
A second version of this song was recorded with added guest vocals from Wu-Tang Clan member Ghostface Killah. This version appears on his album More Fish and the American and Japanese release of Back to Black.
