I just cant ! Amy Lee is one of the best female vocalists in this lifetime. Just saying. Lithium, Everbodys Fool, Call me when you're sober, check it out shes amazing. Bring me to Life is the only song they added rap to as far as i remember.
And the only reason Bring me to Life had rap in it is a sad story. Well not sad as in boo hoo, but sad as in how much power the studios have over the artists. Evenescence almost didnt get signed. The studio execs told Amy she had to have a male rapper in the band, as it was the in thing at that time. But Amy was dead against it ( much to her credit ) but the exes tried to force her to have one. In the end she was going to walk out, but then the exec relented and said she didnt have to have one in the band, but she did have to have one in one song. Which is how the male rap part of Bring me to Life came about. Shows how much power they have over artists. I mean they ended up not having a perm rapper, but they did have to use one even if they didnt want to. In saying that, it is still a great song, and i cant really imagine that song with out the male part.
@@AgunziLFC yes it was actually the movie studio that was making the highly anticipated (but ultimate flop) movie daredevil that was to blame. They heard the song without rap and specifically asked to put it in to get it on the soundtrack..
If you watch the video she is a spirit who's passed away but can't move on because of the intense grieving of a loved one. The spirit tries to help him heal so she can move on but their intense pain holds her to him.
This was one of the first bands I fell in love with and one of my first albums I ever owned. Still one of my faves. I love Evanescence! The Fallen album is Perfection!
Evanescence has several big hits besides Bring me to Life. Lithium, Call Me when you're Sober, All That I'm Living For are all great. Very angelic voice with sexy goth/Victorian style of dress. Some other people suggested Halestorm, they are another great band, more in line with hard rock, think like a Joan Jett/ Pat Bentar vocal but more rock.
Nice reaction. They have numerous hits. Amy Lee has an incredible voice. Music flows in circles. The sounds that are popular seem to always come back around. You'll go a while and then you'll get a bunch of songs with that Blues feeling to it. Then that will go away, and the full orchestra sound comes back. And round and round we go. Evanescence is on tour with Halstrom at the moment. Halstrom is another female singer you guys can check out. She started young too. Almost, almost as young as Su-metal. Su still has a few years on her. This song was about Amy Lee's sister who passed away. However, songs take on a life of their own. And the lyrics become what they mean to the listener. So it could be about a break up and they're still in love with the person. Check out Sade's "Haunt Me" it's another song that fits this category as well. For something that went to the opposite field after the song was released, check out Every Breath You Take. When it came out many folks took it romantically. While Sting said the song is about a stalker. My Immortal is a great song no matter what the listener feels it's about. That's one of the things that makes it great.
I believe Amy lost her sister at a young age, this song is inspired by that tragic event. It's Amy's masterpiece. Evanescence has many great songs, their first album is one of my personal favorites of all time. You can't go wrong listening to Amy Lee.
This song was written by Amy lee's bandmate Ben Moody when he was 17 . It is about the lose of his grandfather . Amy is the singer all others are judged by . Even Floor. They have tons of great songs. I would recommend their song - Good Enough .
Lithium is an amazing song that showcases her voice beautifully too… there are so many hits - everybody’s fool - call me when your sober - going under - sweet sacrifice - Lithium. Really want to see you cover more evanescence!!!
Also would want to reccomend Lithium, as well as Call me when youre sober, and sweet sacrifice. I've been a fan for about 20 years, actually seeing them live (again) this weekend lol.
Yes guys!!! You will NOT REGRET an Evanescence/Amy Lee dive! I JUST saw them live like two weeks ago with Halestorm, who I believe you will love also! Notable Evanescence songs to react to: Older songs: Lithium Going Under Call Me When You’re Sober Newer Songs: Wasted On You Better Without You
Yes! Her voice issss angelic!! This song is so beautiful! Still brings a tear to my eye tho! Absolutely loved y'all's reaction to this song! Thanks guys for reacting to this captivating song!!!
Great reaction guys. "My immortal" is one of the most emotionally charged songs I've ever listened to in my life. It always makes me feel a little sad when I listen to it, but in a beautiful way if that makes sense. I would recommend reacting to Placebo feat. David Bowie "without you I'm nothing". It's really different in terms of style than " My immortal", but it is an incredibly haunting performance. Trully amazing.
Actually, the original version of My Immortal didn't have the hard drop at the end. It was played straight through with just the piano and her amazing voice. This song and Bring Me to Life were tied to that Daredevil movie with Ben Affleck and basically launched her career.
I believe the version they are reacting to in the video is the Band Version, while the version featured in the "Daredevil" movie and the film soundtrack, is the Album Version. I kind of prefer the latter tbh, but I like this version too.
Evanescence is an amazing band. They've been together since 1995 when Amy and the original guitarist were just young teenagers. They've had a few lineup changes over the years, so Amy is the only original member remaining. This song was HUGE when it came out in 2002. The hits are great but they've got a ton of great, lesser known stuff, like "Cloud Nine," "Lacrymosa," "Lose Control," "Imaginary," "Whisper," "Haunted," "Never Go Back," "Sweet Sacrifice," "Weight of the World," the list goes on and on. Evanescence is mainly considered gothic rock/metal band with a lot of symphonic influences.
Now please do the official video. The man at the piano in the video wrote it for his grandfather who died. His death really broke him up, so he wrote this song and told Amy to put her own spin on it. The video is visually amazing. Great reaction! I am no metal head but I love watching the both of you!
Jim McMahon was the quarterback for the Bears between '82 to '88. Thank you for reacting to Evanescednce. I only know their song Bring me to life so it's good to hear more stuff by them.
What an amazing song. Her voice is so beautiful. The lyrics are heart wrenching, emotional. Love the black and white video. Amy is beautiful. Her eyes are piercing. Great reaction, Billy Boy
Going Under is one of my favorites along with this one and Bring Me To Life. They have been helping me through my depression. I’ve know about these songs and have been listening for so many years. Around 7 to 8 years.
They released a new album earlier this year! It's super different, but it still has their flavor. "Better Without You" is a great one to start off with! The Evanescence rabbit hole might surprise you.
Lit reaction homies. I've loved this song for years. Great band and amy's voice is unreal and soul piercing. I still get emotional when I listen to it.
Again, you have reacted to a song that is a masterpiece of music. Although you have already published the reaction, this is a song that I think should always be heard watching the official video, because it has a simplicity and a beauty that complement the song
The more Evanescence you listen to, the more you'll realize Amy Lee is hands down the best female singer in the history of rock music, no contest. The duet she did with Shaun Morgan on Seether's "Broken" is legendary!
@@ronaldmorgan7632 as much as I love Ann's voice, I don't think she's even on the same level as Amy is. Well, maybe same level, different styles I'd say. Ann does hit the stratosphere tho! 🤘🏼♂️🤘🏼
your reactions to the drop was so satisfying ahaha. loving your interpretations of some of the lyrics, they were really insightful! if you wanted more by evanescence i would suggest 'call my when you're sober' or more recently 'yeah right' is quite a fun one. great vid!
I lost my son to cancer when he was 13 years old. He loved this song, and it hits me harder than it did before. He fought cancer 3 separate times in 3 years, with such courage and dignity, then when the cancer came back the fourth time, he refused treatment and insisted on being donated to science just in case there was even the slightest chance to help another child in the future.
I lost my 13 year old son to a car accident. I feel your pain of loss but I can't imagine the pain of watching the horrible sickness take your baby. Sending so much love to you from one mom to another.
This single when it came out was also pretty big. Whole audience will sing along when they play it live. Evanescence has pleeeeenty of hits! “Bring Me To Life” is just the one everyone ‘memes’ to death and that everyone just knows for the chorus. I still love the song, though. Even the songs that weren’t singles are also AMAZING. Started listening when I was very young, 18 (almost 19) years ago. Songs I like that aren’t singles are “Lacrymosa”, “Whisper”, “Imaginary”, “Your Star”, “Take Cover”, “The Change” - the list goes on.
Man. I remember when this song came out, now we are kind of used to listen, but back them. Broke the MTV and still. It's one of the most (if not the most) beautiful song of the 2000's, I may sound a bit boomer, but this is what I miss from music, the human part In every genre. Not the bunch of samples or midi sounds that we get these days. It doesn't sound real, doesn't have feelings.
One of my favorite concerts I went to was Evanescence and Cold! Thanks for reacting. Brought back some memories ❤️ “imaginary” was always one of my favs due to the lyrics by them. I wanted to be her in high school due to her voice.
I loved this song! Still do. It’s beautiful. I just learned from the comments it’s written by the piano player about his grandpa. I had heard she was in a relationship with an alcoholic and I assumed this song was about that. Loved your reaction.
this is one of the songs that amy lee wrote about her little sister that died when they were still kids. “you used to captivate me, by your resonating light, now i’m bound by the life you left behind” “your face it haunts, my once pleasant dreams” “i’ve tried so hard to tell myself that you’re gone, but though you’re still with me, i’ve been alone all along”
Amy Lee is an incredible vocalist. (Covered her many times karaoke-ing. Haha) I second all the song suggestions to react to by Amy/Evanescence that I’ve seen in the comments. But I haven’t seen anyone suggest “Freak on a Leash” with her and KoRn. It’s one of my faves. Maybe we can get to that one someday.
This isn't a break up song. The song is about loss like when someone you cared about/loved dies and you're grieving that loss Evanescence is just plain amazing!!!!!! Here are some of other songs I recommend: Going Under Everybody's Fool Hello Haunted My Last Breath Sweet Sacrifice Lithium Weight Of The World Good Enough What You Want Oceans My Heart Is Broken Lost In Paradise Use My Voice Broken Pieces Shine Better Without You Feeding The Dark Far From Heaven Part Of Me Blind Belief Imperfection Two other groups I strongly recommend you check out are Within Temptation and Halestorm!!!
guys , this is the 2nd time round for this song , the original was done and sang by the piano guy , and was dedicated to his uncle , but it didnt do well , so he redid it with amy , and amy sang it about her sister who died , to give her inspiration . and this was the result , its not only beautiful , like amy , but its very emotional . love it .
For the "record": "The lyrics of the song refer to a spirit that haunts the memory of a grieving loved one. Similar to several other songs written by [Ben] Moody, the lyrics of the song are based on a short story he had previously written.[According to Lee, it was "Ben [Moody]'s song." Moody said that the song talks about "a spirit staying with you after its death and haunting you until you actually wish that the spirit were gone because it won't leave you alone." He also stated in the booklet of Fallen that he dedicated the song to his grandfather, Bill Holcomb. In "My Immortal", Lee expresses her feelings through the line, "Though you're still with me / I've been alone all along.A writer for IGN said that "'My Immortal' is a song of pain and despair caused by the loss of a family member or very close friend and how it drove her [Lee] to the edge of insanity." (source is wikipedia(dot)org)
awesome song guys and well done for reacting to it, you really should take 5 minutes out to yourself though and watch the music video aswell, amy is fantastic in it
You guys really should check out some more Spiritbox! Courtney's voice just soars over all the their amazing debut album Eternal Blue! Check out the Title Track! She had said in interviews that Amy was a huge inspiration 🙂✌️
Glad you're checking out Evanescence. Two of my all-time favorite bands are A Perfect Circle (so you can see why I'd be here already) and Evanescence, so that's pretty awesome. Evanescence has had a bunch of singles. If you want to check out one of those, I'd recommend Going Under or Lithium next. If you want a deeper track, try Your Star or Tourniquet.
Evanescence are commercially successful and have a great library of music. Amy Lee is definitely one of the best female rock vocalists of all time. Check out the new music as she continues to get even better with time. She has an unmistakable voice. It’s pure magic.
I like how this song kind of teases you into thinking there's going to be that drop, but it doesn't. Then finally it hits. Holding it back until later on in the song, instead of dropping after the first verse, makes it so much better. It builds a sense of anxiety and tension, which compliments the lyrics, and then finally breaks it at the end. Great song and lyric writing.. I really hope you guys bring Unleash The Archers back. Test Your Metal is perfect for your next one by them🤘🇨🇦
Idk at all, but I've always thought about this song as someone dying, she held them and dried their tears to comfort them but in the end hating she gave up her life along the line but she had no control over that because she loved them and still does and can't let go. My interpretation.
Guys this is about the loss in her life. Amy Lee's sister Bonnie died in 1987 at the age of three from an undisclosed illness, her brother Robby passed away in 2018 after struggling with severe epilepsy for most of his life.
I just cant ! Amy Lee is one of the best female vocalists in this lifetime. Just saying. Lithium, Everbodys Fool, Call me when you're sober, check it out shes amazing. Bring me to Life is the only song they added rap to as far as i remember.
I second this entire list of songs. Everybody's Fool is my recommendation for next time though. The message in it is fire.
They were forced to put rap into bring me to life by the record company. Cuz that was the "thing" to do at the time.
And the only reason Bring me to Life had rap in it is a sad story. Well not sad as in boo hoo, but sad as in how much power the studios have over the artists.
Evenescence almost didnt get signed. The studio execs told Amy she had to have a male rapper in the band, as it was the in thing at that time. But Amy was dead against it ( much to her credit ) but the exes tried to force her to have one. In the end she was going to walk out, but then the exec relented and said she didnt have to have one in the band, but she did have to have one in one song. Which is how the male rap part of Bring me to Life came about.
Shows how much power they have over artists. I mean they ended up not having a perm rapper, but they did have to use one even if they didnt want to. In saying that, it is still a great song, and i cant really imagine that song with out the male part.
@@AgunziLFC yes it was actually the movie studio that was making the highly anticipated (but ultimate flop) movie daredevil that was to blame. They heard the song without rap and specifically asked to put it in to get it on the soundtrack..
Truth!!🎉🎉🎉🙏🙏🙏
When Hollywood lost himself and cursed LOL. Another great one is “Broken” by Seether featuring Amy Lee. It is beautiful.
I second this!
Third!
A must. Also “going under” would be sweet
Fourth, this is a massive song!
Hello is better
She passed away and its the perspective of the husband dealing w the grief, the real video is amazing
The reaction when it dropped had me laughing... It was so fun watching people experience this for the first time...
So fun to watch 😊
The official remixes on the single were really nice too.
Should have watching the official video. Seeing that pretty face and doing the song. It's not fair for Amy to look that good and be that talented.
lol, yep
@@larrylindgren9484 😂😂😂
It's even more powerful with the visual of the official music video.
I think this song refers to a spirit that haunts the memory of a grieving loved one.
If you watch the video she is a spirit who's passed away but can't move on because of the intense grieving of a loved one. The spirit tries to help him heal so she can move on but their intense pain holds her to him.
@@ShirleySquirbee
💯.
That was Amy playing the piano as well. Top tier talent.
This was one of the first bands I fell in love with and one of my first albums I ever owned. Still one of my faves. I love Evanescence! The Fallen album is Perfection!
Fallen is good but The Open Door, imho, is perfection
Voice of an angel
Evanescence has several big hits besides Bring me to Life. Lithium, Call Me when you're Sober, All That I'm Living For are all great. Very angelic voice with sexy goth/Victorian style of dress. Some other people suggested Halestorm, they are another great band, more in line with hard rock, think like a Joan Jett/ Pat Bentar vocal but more rock.
I love love love Snow White Queen! The Open Door is a top tier album

Evanescence is gangster. Love their heavy shit. The orchestral elements mixed with metal. Amazing
I believe Amy lost her sister at a young age, this song is inspired by that tragic event. It's Amy's masterpiece. Evanescence has many great songs, their first album is one of my personal favorites of all time. You can't go wrong listening to Amy Lee.
It was written by Ben Moody and dedicated to his grandfather.
You’re thinking of “Hello”
That would be the song- Hello.
"Hello" and "Like You" are dedicated to her sister.
Listen to "Like Me"
This song was written by Amy lee's bandmate Ben Moody when he was 17 . It is about the lose of his grandfather . Amy is the singer all others are judged by . Even Floor. They have tons of great songs. I would recommend their song - Good Enough .
was waiting to see a comment about good enough! what a beautiful song
Another band with a superb female lead is "In This Moment"
The fighter is one of my go to songs when I need to remind myself of my own strength
One of my favorite songs from them is beautiful tragedy
Lithium is an amazing song that showcases her voice beautifully too…
there are so many hits - everybody’s fool - call me when your sober - going under - sweet sacrifice - Lithium. Really want to see you cover more evanescence!!!
One of the very few songs that brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it
Also would want to reccomend Lithium, as well as Call me when youre sober, and sweet sacrifice.
I've been a fan for about 20 years, actually seeing them live (again) this weekend lol.
You guys should check out "Break In" with Lzzy Hale from Halestorm and Amy Lee from Evanescence. Two great voices and beautiful harmonies.
🦋 I Agree! That Is A Fire Performance From Both Of Them.
goosebumps on that harmony
Check out the original video guys. Not only has she a beautiful voice, you will also be transfixed by her eyes. She is simply stunning!
Their song ‘Hello’ is one of their most powerful ballads and it’s so thought provoking.
Or missing, or lost before the dawn, or ... lol they are all amazing ❤
Or Anywhere, that song is so underrated and on no albums or streaming services
Yes guys!!! You will NOT REGRET an Evanescence/Amy Lee dive! I JUST saw them live like two weeks ago with Halestorm, who I believe you will love also!
Notable Evanescence songs to react to:
Older songs:
Lithium
Going Under
Call Me When You’re Sober
Newer Songs:
Wasted On You
Better Without You
The last two songs are my new favorites!
I'm not crying...you're crying. Haven't heard this in years. Still fucks me up. \m/
I saw her at EdgeFest! In Dallas! She was amazing! I was about 10 feet from her. Her piano playing was beautiful.
Yes! Her voice issss angelic!! This song is so beautiful! Still brings a tear to my eye tho! Absolutely loved y'all's reaction to this song! Thanks guys for reacting to this captivating song!!!
Great reaction guys. "My immortal" is one of the most emotionally charged songs I've ever listened to in my life. It always makes me feel a little sad when I listen to it, but in a beautiful way if that makes sense.
I would recommend reacting to Placebo feat. David Bowie "without you I'm nothing". It's really different in terms of style than " My immortal", but it is an incredibly haunting performance. Trully amazing.
Oh Evanescence is a wonderful band
I really reccomend Everybody's Fool
Actually, the original version of My Immortal didn't have the hard drop at the end. It was played straight through with just the piano and her amazing voice. This song and Bring Me to Life were tied to that Daredevil movie with Ben Affleck and basically launched her career.
I believe the version they are reacting to in the video is the Band Version, while the version featured in the "Daredevil" movie and the film soundtrack, is the Album Version. I kind of prefer the latter tbh, but I like this version too.
A beautiful damaged Angel. She is one of a kind
Evanescence is an amazing band. They've been together since 1995 when Amy and the original guitarist were just young teenagers. They've had a few lineup changes over the years, so Amy is the only original member remaining. This song was HUGE when it came out in 2002.

Evanescence is mainly considered gothic rock/metal band with a lot of symphonic influences.
Go down the Evanescence rabbit hole guys. You won't be disappointed
Welcome to the beautiful vocals of Amy!!!!! Great reaction guys
Now please do the official video. The man at the piano in the video wrote it for his grandfather who died. His death really broke him up, so he wrote this song and told Amy to put her own spin on it. The video is visually amazing. Great reaction! I am no metal head but I love watching the both of you!
Amy Lee has an angelic voice. SOO many songs to hear guys!
Jim McMahon was the quarterback for the Bears between '82 to '88. Thank you for reacting to Evanescednce. I only know their song Bring me to life so it's good to hear more stuff by them.
Punky QB .
What an amazing song. Her voice is so beautiful. The lyrics are heart wrenching, emotional. Love the black and white video. Amy is beautiful. Her eyes are piercing. Great reaction, Billy Boy
Going Under is one of my favorites along with this one and Bring Me To Life. They have been helping me through my depression. I’ve know about these songs and have been listening for so many years. Around 7 to 8 years.

Lit reaction homies. I've loved this song for years. Great band and amy's voice is unreal and soul piercing. I still get emotional when I listen to it.
This song ALWAYS reminds me of my cousin that passed away when he was 25. Rodeo star that died in a tragic accident, very hard on my family.
Again, you have reacted to a song that is a masterpiece of music. Although you have already published the reaction, this is a song that I think should always be heard watching the official video, because it has a simplicity and a beauty that complement the song
Just saw evanescence live last night. This was the second to last song that they sang. I loved the concert.
Ya'll are great. Keep posting the awesome content!!!. Noti's are now turned ON.
THEY ARE THE BEST GUYS...I HAVE FOLLOWED THEM FOR YEARS
The more Evanescence you listen to, the more you'll realize Amy Lee is hands down the best female singer in the history of rock music, no contest. The duet she did with Shaun Morgan on Seether's "Broken" is legendary!
Exactly what I came here to say! She is a truly amazing vocalist!
Only one at her level is Ann Wilson of Heart.
@@ronaldmorgan7632 as much as I love Ann's voice, I don't think she's even on the same level as Amy is. Well, maybe same level, different styles I'd say. Ann does hit the stratosphere tho! 🤘🏼♂️🤘🏼
@@jangles1839 I just like the sound of Amy's voice over many other talented singers.
@@ronaldmorgan7632 Before Amy, Ann had always my favorite. Only she, and Pat Benatar, would be in contention, IMO
How good is Amy Lee right? Love her songwriting and her ability to make you feel her music, it's truly next level.
I hope you watch the video, it's really beautiful too! Lithium is another beautiful song and the video is a must see.
your reactions to the drop was so satisfying ahaha. loving your interpretations of some of the lyrics, they were really insightful! if you wanted more by evanescence i would suggest 'call my when you're sober' or more recently 'yeah right' is quite a fun one. great vid!

I mean I went through This stage , great songs. But right this moment I am realising this is exactly how I feel.
Great reaction, you guys also killed it with your reaction to 'Send the Pain Below' by Chavelle
Man. I remember when this song came out, now we are kind of used to listen, but back them. Broke the MTV and still. It's one of the most (if not the most) beautiful song of the 2000's, I may sound a bit boomer, but this is what I miss from music, the human part In every genre. Not the bunch of samples or midi sounds that we get these days. It doesn't sound real, doesn't have feelings.
Beautiful tearful strength matured honest heartfelt vengeful extreme concluded mesmerised enjoyed rewind....
You really should have watched the official music video while doing this reaction, it just adds that much more emotion!
Need to do more Evanescence for sure!
One of my favorite concerts I went to was Evanescence and Cold! Thanks for reacting. Brought back some memories ❤️ “imaginary” was always one of my favs due to the lyrics by them. I wanted to be her in high school due to her voice.
Please listen to "Going Under", "Call Me When You're Sober", "What You Want", "Sweet Sacrifice", and "Everybody's Fool"
Amy Lee is the goddess of music. She's one of the great female singer/songwriter/performers and she's gorgeous too, which doesn't hurt.
Broken by Seether featuring Amy Lee. Beautiful song
I loved this song! Still do. It’s beautiful. I just learned from the comments it’s written by the piano player about his grandpa. I had heard she was in a relationship with an alcoholic and I assumed this song was about that. Loved your reaction.
Ahh, love evanescence, it's so good to see a comment section full of fans. My favourite atm is Good Enough, because it's just such a beautiful song.
Check out Sharon Den Adel from Within Temptation. "Paradise" (duet with Tarja, original Nightwish singer) and "And We Run" ( duet with XZibit)
Might be the only song that ever made me cry next to amazing grace!!!!!
Not many songs I call beautiful but this is one of them. It's crazy this song was made 19 years ago!
My wife and I just seen her in concert a month ago and her performance of this song was awesome.
this is one of the songs that amy lee wrote about her little sister that died when they were still kids.
“you used to captivate me, by your resonating light, now i’m bound by the life you left behind”
“your face it haunts,
my once pleasant dreams”
“i’ve tried so hard to tell myself that you’re gone, but though you’re still with me,
i’ve been alone all along”
Amy Lee is an incredible vocalist. (Covered her many times karaoke-ing. Haha) I second all the song suggestions to react to by Amy/Evanescence that I’ve seen in the comments. But I haven’t seen anyone suggest “Freak on a Leash” with her and KoRn. It’s one of my faves. Maybe we can get to that one someday.
went to check it... very very good
I believe she wrote this in regards to her sister passing away. She does have the voice of an angel doesn’t she.
Aw man do more of this, you'll love more of her songs I promise
The actual music video is so Beautiful!!
This isn't a break up song. The song is about loss like when someone you cared about/loved dies and you're grieving that loss
Evanescence is just plain amazing!!!!!!
Here are some of other songs I recommend:
Going Under
Everybody's Fool
Hello
Haunted
My Last Breath
Sweet Sacrifice

What You Want
Oceans
My Heart Is Broken
Lost In Paradise
Use My Voice

Two other groups I strongly recommend you check out are Within Temptation and Halestorm!!!
guys , this is the 2nd time round for this song , the original was done and sang by the piano guy , and was dedicated to his uncle , but it didnt do well , so he redid it with amy , and amy sang it about her sister who died , to give her inspiration . and this was the result , its not only beautiful , like amy , but its very emotional . love it .
Great reaction guys. This song is about losing a loved one. Not about a breakup.
The video really adds to the song but even just the song always tears me up.
The live version is truly angelic, PLEASE REACT TO IT, love you guys
You all have to see the actual video she is gorgeous and it is so moving
Hits by Evanescence: Lithium, Call Me When You're Sober, Going Under, Everybody's Fool, Haunted, Imaginary, Missing and more.
For the "record": "The lyrics of the song refer to a spirit that haunts the memory of a grieving loved one. Similar to several other songs written by [Ben] Moody, the lyrics of the song are based on a short story he had previously written.[According to Lee, it was "Ben [Moody]'s song." Moody said that the song talks about "a spirit staying with you after its death and haunting you until you actually wish that the spirit were gone because it won't leave you alone." He also stated in the booklet of Fallen that he dedicated the song to his grandfather, Bill Holcomb. In "My Immortal", Lee expresses her feelings through the line, "Though you're still with me / I've been alone all along.A writer for IGN said that "'My Immortal' is a song of pain and despair caused by the loss of a family member or very close friend and how it drove her [Lee] to the edge of insanity."

Should have done the video of this! It adds to the element!
Not gonna lie evanescence was my gateway to one of my favorite bands still to this day!!! Epica 🎶🥰
Howdy, This is Darkwoodz... an interesting band called Morbid Angle, song God of emptiness. It will Shake your Soul. Nice channel by the way!
A voice to be reckoned with for sure! Keep on rockin' of the free world guys!
Devildriver - The Mountain
Unearth - Endless
Their whole album is amazing.
It'll leave you weeping like a little child at the end.
I'm not crying..you are!
awesome song guys and well done for reacting to it, you really should take 5 minutes out to yourself though and watch the music video aswell, amy is fantastic in it
You guys really should check out some more Spiritbox! Courtney's voice just soars over all the their amazing debut album Eternal Blue! Check out the Title Track! She had said in interviews that Amy was a huge inspiration 🙂✌️
I agree on Spiritbox. They are amazing!
The fact this song got a drop so much later than usual brings me happiness lol
Glad you're checking out Evanescence. Two of my all-time favorite bands are A Perfect Circle (so you can see why I'd be here already) and Evanescence, so that's pretty awesome.
Evanescence has had a bunch of singles. If you want to check out one of those, I'd recommend Going Under or Lithium next. If you want a deeper track, try Your Star or Tourniquet.
That Square with the funtain in Barcellona. It is iconic for the drammatic story that happened there.
But you have to see the original video.
Evanescence are commercially successful and have a great library of music. Amy Lee is definitely one of the best female rock vocalists of all time. Check out the new music as she continues to get even better with time. She has an unmistakable voice. It’s pure magic.
I like how this song kind of teases you into thinking there's going to be that drop, but it doesn't. Then finally it hits. Holding it back until later on in the song, instead of dropping after the first verse, makes it so much better. It builds a sense of anxiety and tension, which compliments the lyrics, and then finally breaks it at the end. Great song and lyric writing..
I really hope you guys bring Unleash The Archers back. Test Your Metal is perfect for your next one by them🤘🇨🇦
Idk at all, but I've always thought about this song as someone dying, she held them and dried their tears to comfort them but in the end hating she gave up her life along the line but she had no control over that because she loved them and still does and can't let go. My interpretation.
Gosh guys u gotta see the official video's ....
Just wait its just a beautiful video.....
"You " is another beautiful piece that I haven't seen anyone react too by Amy Lee.
Guys this is about the loss in her life. Amy Lee's sister Bonnie died in 1987 at the age of three from an undisclosed illness, her brother Robby passed away in 2018 after struggling with severe epilepsy for most of his life.
