Soundtrack Of The Day: "Tears Dry (Original Version)" - Amy Winehouse

I recently purchased Amy Winehouse's posthumous record Lioness: Hidden Treasures. It features some never before heard songs as well as alternate takes of her singles. I featured "Like Smoke" last week, and I can't stop digging into the late Ms. Winehouse's catalog and missing her.

"Tears Dry On Their Own" was one of the more upbeat tracks from Amy's breakthrough Back To Black, and one of my favorites. The album mix features a sample of "Ain't No Mountain" for the beat, but it was originally called "Darkness" and was a slow, sad ballad. That version makes an appearance on Lioness, and it's beautiful and haunting.
