I could listen to her reading a telephone directory. Her intelligence, humility and authenticity are truly admirable.
right??
Couldn't have put it any better. What an extraordinary lady. Singer/songwriter/performers on her level are so few and far between, but when songwriters open up about what inspired them to write, I find it so so fascinating. Amy has often been described as being the Goddess of female vocalists, and it would be very hard to argue, but apart from that, the respect she gets for being who she is both on and off stage is solid gold. God bless her.
watching her breathe soothes me,angel on earth.
i use that line alot lol
You meant to say, telephone book. Stop typing the wrong thing 👊😠.
She is such a phenomenal human being. I'm so happy that The Bitter Truth just came out. It's such a great album!
BIG AGREE
I already love it.
The bider truth
@@avatarkyoshi3405 *bitter
Me too! I love it!
My best friend in high school (early 2000s) got me into Evanescence and Linkin Park. She and I were the weirdos in our preppy school and really only had each other. We loved Amy Lee to much and her music helped us through those difficult years. In 2015 (10 years after we graduated), my best friend died from a drug overdose. Her death sent me to a mental health ward for a week and I couldn't listen to Evanescence for the longest time. It breaks my heart that she'd never got to see Evanescence come back or watch this interview. She would have loved this. I miss her so much.
My condolences. Your friendship is beautiful.
I am so so sorry 😓😓😭
Sorry to hear about your friend. 😥
Damn - I'm SO sorry for your loss.
I hope one day you can enjoy listening to Evanescence again with happy memories of your friend.
😟Wow I'm sorry. LP and Ev were my go to back in '03 I was finishing highschool.
I can't imagine evanescence being the ''female linkin park'', amy as vocals and a male rapper/singer. I like LP and this kind of style suits them perfectly, but damn, it would take a lot of charm from evanescence's music. I'm so glad they never added a rapper/singer.
I honestly wouldn't mind if this was 1 hour long.. That was a really good listen. Just pure, authentic and honest to the heart talk from Amy as always
We have longer... maybe we do an uncut version?? 👀
@@altpress yes please! Would love to hear her talk about albums 2 and 3 and their journeys, if you discussed it 💜
@@altpress yes please!!
@@altpress yes please do!
@@altpress yeeeeees
Record labels are the worst part about music, I'm glad they didn't ruin evanescence
They did. David was fired as per Wind-up Records request. This was fatal for the real band (Amy, David and Ben). Amy solo career using the name Evanescence continued, but then she was already famous and could do things independently. Unfortunately, her music alone is nothing compared to the work they did together.
@@DanielLagunaIHS Amy never went solo lol after Ben left she went on to write The Open Door with Terry (their bassist who replaced Rocky I think). And their music became better after Ben left = The Open Door was written and is their best album in every sense possible. I think most equate a hit song or record to a band’s best music but in reality most under appreciated albums are the best but don’t recover super commercial success.
@@msevfreak23, she went solo. Working with hired musicians is expected for solo albums. She fires and hires who she wants whenever she wants. It's obviously a solo career.
@@DanielLagunaIHS she fires them because they’re shady or there is tension or move on to different projects. Yeah she can hire or fire who she wants because she’s the boss lady and mastermind behind Evanescence. It’s her brainchild since the start, it would be what it is without her. It took a couple tries to find the right people.
@@msevfreak23, that means she is Evanescence now. Solo career. If she is on it and wants to use the name Evanescence, she can. Not a band as it was originally.
okay but like, i really enjoyed Origin. 🥺
Please don't deny us.
Me too
so trueee
Album made me cry so many times and I always come back to it.
What Amy doesnt get is that Origin is good precisely because its "bad". Its the imperfections, not being produced, that made it so good and raw.
The truth is, there's really no mainstream market for this genre of music. They came on the scene at the exact right moment. They rode the wave and now have the freedom to express themselves musically without the need or pressure of becoming number one on the billboard charts again.
She is the realest singer ever, she is always humble, down to earth, she answers things and questions out of her own real beliefs and thoughts and authenticity, I really connect and all other fans aswell with her bc of that uniqueness we find in her lyrics, her singing, the sound of what the band has mad.
I agree, she has done things without giving a F* if people will like it, if she really believes in it and push through doing it, it has always came out amazingly well. I loved all this decade because we got to see her fulfill her dreams like making music for independent films and movies and big production movies aswell, she did covers just for fun in her own way with simple but amazing music videos, she did a whole EP with her family for her baby like for real that captured her brother, uncle, dad and sisters and other relatives in a record that will be part of her memory and love forever as a family. I think she needed that, to tap into other fields in the music, try different genres, the show with Paula Cole, playing with friends, making music with them (lindsey stirling, waggaki band, halestorm, BMTH) I mean, it just all feel it came out when it needed to happend. Amy did great and got a lot of experience by doing all of this, hence why we can now have such a wider range of different songs
Palma, I really enjoy your thoughts and insight into Evanescence. I can tell that you're passionate about this band ....and I feel a kinship with people like you because of our shared appreciation of this band's music. Keep on keeping real brother. 🤘😉
LOL

@@paulsoldner9739 All artist that has co-worked with her has talked nothing but great stuff about Amy, they all were in contact with different very talented musicians everyday for a whole year in Synthesis tour, they didn't tour with an orchestra, they had 30 new musicians every night that they had a show, and every musician there were on top of their game on their own, like Dave Eggar a worldwide known cellist with grammys, and everyone has said nothing but nice things about Amy, she has done benefit concerts for kids with down syndrome, with sex-traffic victims shelters, helping creating awareness about epilepsya, I mean wheter you like their music of not, Amy Lee is not the bitch or diva Ben Moody and John Lecompt told everyone she is, they are the only 2 guys who ever said something bad about Amy, Ben was her ex. And John was a very ungrateful shitty friend, nobody else inside or outside the media have ever said anything bad about Amy, she is humble, real, she has learned from her earlier mistakes, she has been a strong woman fighting a bunch of people in suits trying to dismiss her talent, trying to made her something she is not, she is a free and independent artist with a world famous band bc of their talented music. You can disagree with her statements in politics or persona or her music, but she is always been a down to earth person with every fan, interviewer. musician, and everyone around her.
@@xPaLmaaHx It's amazing how little of that is true.
@@paulsoldner9739 Yeah you got only a few words, spoken out of your rear... I speak with facts, you can check fact any thing I said, she is in real one great human being, she even made all the other female fronted band singers get along bc she invited them to their synthesis tour, each one of them and they all got along so well, the reason some of those singers are in the Use My Voice single came out of an idea Amy shared in the whatsapp group they have together
Amy looks gorgeous as usual. Besides, what she says is so inspiring and holds a lot of value. I'm grateful to be a fan of Evanescence and Amy for the past decade. Amy is a wise, talented and beautiful woman. She's truly a legend.
big facts!!!
She's beautiful ❤️
The last words that Amy said bring tears to my eyes, because Evanescence music was exactly what she says. A safe space for a broken.
RELEASE ORIGINS ON SPOTIFY
YES!
+ Understanding pls
You can download Origin for free, go to The Evanescence Reference and download each track. Amy and Ben told everyone as far back as 2003 that they hated seeing people selling it for hundreds of dollars on eBay and shit and they could not care less if people just ripped it.
Get the Vinyl Box set. It's in there and it sounds AMAZING!!!
Amy is an artist at heart and not a businesswoman because she would've made mllions from selling Origins in that 2004-2005 period, it was in such high demand
She's so strong and so true to herself... Just imagine facing that choice - your dreams can come true but you'll have to change or actually sacrifice who you are. And you deny to stay candid and create what you want. That's SO amazing and inspiring! 💜
She's a dream 🙏
Sounds like the label that tried to ruin her is a bunch of bozos
Amy don't deny that origins slaps. Eternal and even in death are on my daily listen
I know she doesn't really consider Origin their debut album, but damn this album is a masterpiece. Even In Death? Lies? Field of Innocence? Where would I be without these songs!
@@Monicalia exactly mo
Even if it is a lower fidelity compared to her more recent studio albums, a remaster would round out an awesome catalogue
@@Monicalia Origin is way better than this new album to me I’m not digging it that much
Yes!!
Her authenticity is just 🤯
Absolutely! Amy Lee has to be one of the most relatable and down to earth famous people out there. Her personality and sincerity only enhance the powerful emotions that her songs invoke....and I believe that's why the listener can relate to what she's singing.
@@jasonrichardson1208 Facts!!
agreed 🙏
@@jasonrichardson1208AMY Lee is an incredible woman and incredible loving human being incredibly talented and incredibly real I love AMY Lee she’s so special to me👸💝
@@sambell385 Yessir! That's why I think that Shaun Morgan must be slightly off....to screw up a relationship with a goddess like Amy Lee. 😉
It always saddens me to hear Amy talk down on the early, pre-Fallen material. There’s such an incredible vibe on those early recordings that can never be replicated. It’s raw, emotional and free of corporate oversight. It’s all the elements that’s still in Evanescence but stripped down in a way only some small town kids in the 90s could make. I don’t want to speak for all fans, but here’s how I see it: Yeah, the obscure nature of the material absolutely adds to the intrigue, Amy is right about that, but the actual songs themselves and seeing how they progress from those early versions to the studio versions is wonderful. It’s real, it’s passionate, it’s honest. Its honesty is as much a characteristic of Evanescence as the music itself, because as this video reconfirms, that honesty is what drew so many fans to Evanescence and Amy in the first place. I hope that there will be an official release of all the old stuff someday. Linkin Park did it on the 20th anniversary of Hybrid Theory. It would be phenomenal to see Evanescence release a package like that of their own.
preach
YES, 100% agreed! Honestly, I would be the happiest person on the Earth if they officially released their old stuff. Unfortunately, I've missed the release of the Origin vinyl a few years ago (because I was too broke) and I would be delighted if they released it again. Love the album and I love all the other pre-fallen stuff. It just has its own spirit, it's quite spooky (which I love) and it's, as you said, very raw and authentic to those times. I understand why she feels that way, but I think that stuff is amazing. Little mastering and it would be suitable for today as well. Let's hope! ♥
It's two different perspectives. As a fan, yeah, I love seeing that early stuff, seeing how it sheds more light on their journey and their beginnings. It feels "behind the scenes". Even if there are imperfections, it only makes them look even greater for how far they've come.
As someone who as also in a band in high school...even stuff which at the time seemed okay, and others seemed to like, now just evokes so much cringe XD So I totally get why she wouldn't want that stuff out officially XD
I learned to accept that is not just about us fans, it's her life and her own creation what we're talking about. It's not like we're are forbidden to hear it also
@@pxblx It’s not about the material itself, really. All of it has been out there for decades. I already have all of it digitally, so that’s not what this is about. It’s just about celebrating the band’s legacy and saying “I’m not too proud of this stuff, but I do recognize it was the stepping stone of everything that came afterwards and it got me to where I am today.” I’m obviously not trying to tell her what to do, I just don’t see a version of this scenario where anyone would lose anything. Taking ownership of who you are, even or especially your “flaws”, is an important theme throughout Evanescence’s career, what better way to reiterate that point by officially releasing the pre-Fallen era?
the early material (some of which got reused multiple times up to and including on Fallen) were the steps that needed to be taken take to grow as a singer and songwriter..
the voice was ALWAYS there. you only need to hear Exodus, one of the first things they ever recorded, ONCE to know that..
but as you progress through the discography, the growth is just as clearly evident.. even stuff that didn't make albums but we eventually heard anyway like Anything for You (another of my personal favorites)
as far as I'm concerned, she is the 21st century Goddess of Rock
She’s just too precious. Real artist. ❤️
100% authentic no BS
Amy I can’t even begin to express how thankful to you and your band. I was raised in a Abusive house. I never felt like I was good enough or loved. But when I would listen to your music at least for a moment I was not alone. I have walked through hell and back and pulled myself out of depression with the help of your music. You are truly a angel. Keep being you.
Dude, listening her talk about Synthesis is so gratifying. That album was so beautifully done, and the tour was incredible! I'll never forget that experience.
Why's the audio sound wobbly?
I thought it was my airpods
This woman is SO unbelievably talented and under appreciated in her craft. She IS Evanescence. But it could never be just her. I’m so happy she pursued her heart and stood up to Wind Up and didn’t let them dictate the sound of the band. So proud to be an Evanescence fan for over 10 years now!!!
I love what Amy said about rock music!!! Yes to not watering it down and making it mainstream!
How appropriate that the label's name was Wind Up.
I understand the feeling of thinking your old material sucks or is embarrassing, but I don't think there's anything wrong with Origin at all. There are several go-to songs on that album that I adore -- Field of Innocence being my favorite track from the album. Great stuff.
Their connection to Daredevil rarely gets mentioned. Glad she at least brought it up. While it's usually downplayed if mentioned at all, I think most of their rise in popularity came from their song being featured in every Daredevil trailer and commercial (and there were a LOT of those).
God love you Amy Lee! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your music, which has been with me since I was 13 years old and given me endless places of sanctuary over the course of my life. I have grown and matured with your music and it always has paralleled the things I am going through in the most perfect way. I don't know if one can necessarily look for that kind of fit with an artist, and I attribute it to something unique that I can't find in other music. Evanescence is a spiritual and dear force in my life. I am grateful for your music and will always enjoy seeing what you create next.
What a great conversation. All of the reasons why I love this band!!
🙏
This interview right here is why Ive been a fan since like 2005
YEP!! She's so real and authentic
So, after Evanescence ceased to exist and was "Amy Lee and cash hires"?
@@paulsoldner9739 well she's still rich and well educated has a another great job after her band broke up even carman he went to school graduated high school even college which made him a millionaire education and a good job is the only way to make more money
@@valentincavazzos4420 ok, and?
@@paulsoldner9739 people just finally need to get over this. Look at other Bands. They change all the time. Amy and the guys were very young, they had different opinions and dreams and they just didn't work out together. I don't get why people blame her so much for this.
She still sooooo pretty like woahhh
IKR
Sometimes she over makeups for the Goth girl look in stage. I never liked that as much as her like this. Not overly done. She's pretty either way. But here she's very pretty.
@@larrylindgren9484 Exactly how i feel. She is gorgeous here.
This is one of my favorites interviews from Amy Lee. Maybe because it's more like a free speech there's not a narrative besides her narrative. Wish it was longer! Amy is my biggest idol since 2003. I can describe how many times her music saves me. She definitely create a refuge for the broken one with her music. I'm so grateful to exist on the same time as her. That's magical. 💜🥺💜
I actually loved Origin and Fallen, both gigantic masterpieces in my heart. I own all the main albums physically.
Thank you Amy for being so humble and truthful, this is a great quality you have. This video was very interesting. It's been almost 20 years of good music, it helped me a lot with my own emotions and hard times, and still does.
Amy you have a special place in my heart! Next to my PC screen there is a fairy figurine that looks like you, the way you dressed in that wonderful Anywhere but home DVD show. My PC tower, my actual car and the previous one, have big vinyl stickers with the band's logos on them (both made with a real vinyl cutting machine or cutout by myself as handcrafting projects). The front bumper plate quotes "Warning : Driver under the influence of Evanescence". I also made clocks with the band's logo.
Your band has always been a blessing to me, keep up the good work, you are doing it for yourself Amy but like you said, also for all these people out there who need you and connect with you throughout this. Thank you!!
Amy is Evanescence and not Ben Moody. For anyone who think its because of Ben that made Evanescence, they just fooling themselves. I mean look at what happen to We are the Fallen? That band is such a sad band. Copying pretty much what Evanescence is but pretending to be different when they know for a fact they are not. I hate it when people blame Amy for all the original members leaving when it is far from the truth. She wanted to keep everyone together but because of egos and selfishness they left her.
Lies is fucking incredible! Your vocals alone blew that track away!
It is a great track, as much as I love the other tracks Lies made me listen up and notice. The video is also amazing the first time through I didn't realize it was Amy all the way though she looks totally different as a blond only her eyes and smile gave it away. Her smile I could pick out even if she was mad up as an alien, it's very distinctive and honest (like a window into her, as that is how she comes across in every video like this I have ever seen).
It’s my favorite song by them!
TELL HER IT WORKED. HER MUSIC IS A REFUGE FOR THE BROKEN.
We got u
I’ve always been just a casual listener so this is really interesting 🖤
Thanks AP!
Thanks for watching!! 🙏
Synthesis was amazing, she took the risk and came out better than expected and now after half a decade of being with Jen and 15 years of being with Troy Will and Tim, living together, and having fun with each other, inside and outside of touring and the band image or life, playing shows for fans here and there around the world, trying new songs live, never done before stuff like switching instruments, or a never played live before song in the setlist, they did all of this in their own time and schedule, they came out together and made this amazing new album and the reward for us fans and them as musician is just pure awesomeness haha. You can feel this music is real AF as usual and time will only do better to it as it has done with other stuff they and she has done.
Really interesting hearing her talk about the connection to classical music, obviously there is a lot in it but it kind of hit me. My Grandmother who's always particular with music, always classical and opera, when I was a teenager I was around her house doing some homework listening to bring me to life and my grandmother heard it and I was so shocked how much she liked it, the rythms or something must have connected the two to her. I love that!
She has been the inspiration of my life outside of family since I was like 10 years old. She has always been this dorky, humble, hilarious, down to earth person and I'm so glad she's never changed in that aspect. It's also so inspiring that she's always stood for what she believes in and will not do something for the sake of doing something of if it doesn't feel right to her. She's turned down collabs even from Bon Jovi for that reason. She truly is one of the realest "celebrities" out there.
“This music is saving my life”
Mine too, Amy. Mine too. ❤
I think its because of her songs, even though most of them sound dark but they all and still do save my life, because evanescence songs are all with emotions that people everyday feel, thats why i always listen to evanescence every single day
Amy is a true artist. Too many artists sell their souls in the process of gaining (and keeping) fame. I'm glad Amy and Evanescence stayed true to themselves...both for themselves and for us ♡
She's such a beautiful woman, I hope I can be in the same room as her one day. She's truly gorgeous, a positive person and she has a great sense of humour 😍
she got me into so many cool artists when i was a teenager, forever grateful of her artistry and emotional openness 🖤
This video is beautiful.
this is an amazing thing and I'm so happy to have seen it.
Thank you for having this interview, it's truly amazing.
Thanks, Alternative Press and Amy Lee, I got emotional!
🙏
origin is what made evanescence. Will always and forever cherish that album.
she is the kind of artist that can last for ages in this industry, because shes honest with her feelings and emotions and she has the right atitude
I'm an unlikely Evanescence fan, as a huge classic rock fan-- Zeppelin being my all time favorite. But this woman is a phenomenon of stellar musical composition, lyric writing and stirring vocal delivery. The music of Amy Lee and Evanescence is poignant and passionately soul-stiring.
What an amazingly beautiful, talented, and intelligent woman.
I could listen to her talk forever. She is so amazing, talented, beautiful, inspiring, the list goes on. There's music you listen to and then there's music you feel. Her music is the music you feel. There has never been music that made me feel the way her music has. When you are moved and close your eyes and fully feel the music, it's an experience and a moment in time. Her music is the kind of music that helps you through the bad and makes you feel alive. I will always love amy. It's been two decades and I will continue to listen to her until the day I die.
heres the thing, recording exec's really no nothing overall when it comes to the artists. A lot of them can make or break groups - which I really hate. Good for Amy for sticking to her guns, it was definitely the right decision with her as the lead
It is funny, cause what got me with bring me to life was the piano intro and her voice, didn't care about the rap too much.
I was 14, I remember where I was, remember the the weather, I stopped everything and sat in front of the radio. Music has been my life since then.
Same! It’s such a shame the label wanted to add the male vocals, it’s so good without them
Very engaging video… my dream was to be a violinist in an orchestra that’s back up for rock bands. So I loved hearing abt when the strings rose up & you were in the music. Very Nice!! ♥️☮️😇😇
I will say the first time I heard Evanescence was on AOL radio and I was charmed by the fact it was a female singing and loved it.
I listen to Origin on a regular basis. This morning in fact.
She's so inspiring guys, it really seems like an honest face-to-face talk with an old time friend, just because she has the courage to open up without being turned down by fear of being vulnerable. It's always kinda inviting to see her share her experiences.
This is a wonderful video. She such a brilliant and honest artist. I do think she’s at her best when she has more control.I’m just really disappointed she didn’t talk about the open door at all. That is their greatest most unique album. I feel like the transition from falling sound to the open door was a huge part of our history.
She's a legend, she's a goddess. This is undeniable!
It's so beautiful to see how she always believed in her essence, how she fought for it and never changed who she was and what was the proposal of the band. She's a leader, she's so beautiful , humble, intelligent and truly passionate about music. I love Evanescence since I've heard for the first time. I hear every single day, and I always feel the songs in a different way, always see from a new perspective. And constantly discover a new meaning on this songs. Thank you so much for sharing this! I reconnect with evanescence every single day, and I just did it right now thanks to you!
Man I love this band sm.. I've been listening to them on and off since I was 14, fallen was a huge part of my teen years!!
Amy Lee is amazing a fabulous woman. With talent unlimited!! True Rockstar!!
So glad she lent her support to Lindsey Stirling in 2018. They both have grown so much from that!
I hope there is another Synthesis tour someday. I wanted to go to the concert so much in Amsterdam, but I had an important test the next day... :( I was so sad for this :/ It was a very unique opportunity!
Synthesis was an experience to see live and I’m glad I was able to see it twice.
SAME! I could go for another album of that. Just forever glad they did your star.
Twice! That’s awesome! 💙
I love most all your music!! listening for years...even since my EX wife over 12 years ago and 6 before that. Your amazing!! and just keep true to yourself.
You seem to like strings but I understand I was a woodwind (clarinet) in your concert int TX (American airlines stadium) in October 2018! IT WAS SO FUN BUT SO SCARY! I watched you walk past me many times as did Amy Stirling a great violinist. I kept myself composed but dang you all I mean every stage member was fantastic! I was so ecstatic I could have become a firework for a small group lol!
OMG I LOVE HER!!! ♥️🎶🙏🏻✨😱
The nostalgia is real :')
I love how she knows about what fans love about her music and embrace it , like Synthesis was genius it gave a whole new meaning to the songs we grew up loving them more and more
and btw Origin is one of the best albums i love it so much, Eternal is pretty calming for me
Your music has ALWAYS been a refuge for me, Amy
Amen.
I fucking hate major record labels. Can you imagine having your funding taken away because they wouldn’t hire a man to do vocals in addition?????? What kind of petty garbage venom is that!?
My old english teacher from high school told me about how he met Amy Lee back in 2003 when he used to do backstage work and he said she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
She is soo real and amazing
She's a true inspiration 🙏
I am so grateful to have found this band. Their music has always been something truly unique and beautiful to behold, but to add to that, that the singer is such an honest and inspiring person who can be held as an incredible example to lots of us... I'm just really proud to be a fan of theirs.
This video just highlights so many of the reasons I'll love her and her music for a long as I'm alive.
Can't wait to see them live again in London.
7:20 😂🤣 I'm mad that she made a joke like that, cause she knows she is just as talented if not more. For real though, piano, synthesizer, vocals and occasional guitar, there's probably more instruments she plays that we don't even know of.
harp, ukelele and bass too! haha
Great interview. Is there an unedited version that shows her full uncut responses?
I was recently diagnosed with an illness that would cause me pain my entire life and is likely to kill me later on when I found her music. I was 13, losing my friends because who wants to hang out with someone in pain who can’t go do stuff, and at night Id pace for hours, unable to sit from pain, until I just sank onto the floor. It was a horrible horrible time. My parents didn’t love that i wasn’t their little pop angel anymore, but i finally found music that felt like it had... context. That the world Can be both beautiful AND dark, and I needed to hear that at the time, because there wasn’t any way I could see myself free of that darkness, for years.
Some people don’t love certain kinds of music because it depresses them and drives them deeper into that frame of mind. Others feel relieved, validated, and seen, by it, so it’s like... processing your trauma rather than just denying it and going with lighter music that doesn’t address more complex emotions and themes. I really feel so indebted to them for this.
Pop angel huh? Sounds like your folks have no respect or taste. Just saying. Because I'll admit...Lee is part of what kept me from getting all these mental disorders many others around me have(my folks were rock people and I eventually wormed my way through the album Fallen that we had bought and even beyond that). She's the reason I'm freaking happy as hell and can keep being that because I've got an outlet for when I need release. Cause trust me...I've seen enough to have almost put me under multiple times. Sorry you've been dealing with a lot lately, and trust me...we sometimes need to see our dark spots to keep going. Not always but I have problems with people who dole out toxic positivity, when in reality even I know there's shit that can't be brushed off by a good attitude and that some things can be very serious. Stay fighting out there, cause it'll be worth it one day.
Wow! It's like I see her for the first time in the way I could only see Amy through her music before, just her pure, raw self and it's impressive and beautiful to say the VERY least!!! Keep goin' Amy and don't even think about to change unless you, for yourself want it!
the last part made me cry fr she’s such amazing…. her words her way of explaining everything she went through.. She inspired me with smth I needed I love her sm n I’m thankful to her
Amy, thank you for being you. Respects
Love could listen to her every minute of everyday. I love you Amy you rock ❤️🤘🏻
I get to see evanescence and Korn in august for my first rock concert! I’ve been a huge evanescence fan for years I love how humble and raw genuine and honest Amy is and her voice is so hauntingly beautiful I love it!!’
I Adore this Chick and This Band's History and Amy has came a long way
Me too. My mom grew me up to Fallen and now she's one of my idols. I look up to her so much! 🥺

Every song of hers I love, hearing her is just beautiful, awe inspiring.., all the 🌽 y things you could say lol
This band got me through the absolute worst part of my life. From November 2005 to March 2006, I lost both parents and a second sister. Their songs offered no "it's going to be all sunshine and light again", but the raw, deep searing truth of loss and despair. Their music gave me incredible space to simply grieve and feel my hurt. "My Immortal" will always be the song that makes me think of my mom/ BFF/mentor/soulmate. "Tourniquet" I love because I see it as a deeply spiritual song of praise to God. Thank you, Amy, for staying true to principle and being your self.
Holy crap her speaking voice is so different from her singing voice lmao how have I been a fan for 18 years and never heard her just talk lol
Smart, funny, kind, incredibly talented, and drop dead gorgeous inside and out...a truly good human being and a true artist in every sense of the word. Amy Lee is a class act and her husband is one seriously lucky bastard.
I'm grateful that you keep coming back and making wonderful music, thank you, Amy and all the band, The Bitter Truth might be your best album yet!
A Unique and Gifted Woman!!👏👏👍👍
Amy, just finished listening to/watching this video. You are such a gift to your fans. You have personally helped me so much. Fallen was such an escape for me when it came out and my depression was SO bad. I'm pretty sure I still know every word of every song. Love all your music, but that one's especially memorable and special to me. Thank you.
The way she talks about the Synthesys tour is so emotional and true. I feel so so blessed to have been able to experience it... Once in a lifetime feeling. One of my favorite memories 😍
Loved this! Keep rocking Amy Lee :)
LOVE YOU AMY. YOU ARE AMAZING. AND YES I COULD LISTEN TO YOU READ A NOVEL TOO. YOUR VOICE IS SOOO SOOOOTHING.
Anywhere and Even in Death are two of my favorite Evanescence songs.
Origins is 🔥
Yes!
Lies should of been on fallen
This video is everything. She told us the begging of everything, the duality of being at their best as group but at the same time at their worst, some of the most important battles the band had to fight, her development as musician and as being, and all this video just transmit an enormous amount of pureness, feeling, good and bad experiences along the years, and just a little taste of how it feels to be part of Evanescence, and change as person along with the group.
Love her so much! 💘‼️
Every time I listen to Amy talk about us, the fans, and her music , I get so emotional. She clearly loves us, and it's evident in the music. Some of the hardest times in my life were spent listening to, screaming to, Ev's music and they played a huge part in being able to get through those times.
I love this woman so much. Smart, immensely talented, driven and gorgeous in every way.
Plus, The Bitter Truth is an amazing album.
🤘🥰🤘
Had a opportunity to see your live performance with local orchestra in Dallas.... it was epic.
When you sing, you have the ability to make it look effortless.
I can listen to any talk hr after hr while I'm drinking Natty daddy after daddy.
Been a fan for over 14 years of evanescence. And even Amy’s solo music. So glad the bitter truth released its such a great album.
In 2003, I was experiencing postpartum depression after my 2nd daughter was born. I was so heavily medicated and miserable and had already experienced severe depression in my life from my childhood & religion. So when I heard ‘Bring me to Life’ I was instantly I guess “comforted” hearing the music because I was so alone in my head and finally it felt like someone else knew what I was feeling. I am so grateful to #amylee for her insanely perfect song writing because she probably saved my life. #onlylove xoxo Sandi
Boy! Amy you are just absolutely beautiful and your voice is phenomenal! Thank you!
