@robrs2000 no, my only best friend from school, I was closer to her than I am my blood sister that I saw in 1997, she's inky down the road, her mental illness makes her a very angry and hateful person, and I pity her. Rhona and I left home at 15 on 1985 and joined a bike gang, Highlands of Scotland, corrupt police, I found out the truth when I moved back up here in 2012, let's just say guilt does awful things to a man who was meant to love her. ❤️ He too is dead due to what he did to her.

I'm sorry for your loss... I cannot imagine losing my wife, but the thought of her hanging around until my passing is soothing. God bless you getting through.
I lost mine 10 years ago and still think of him almost every day and sometimes dream of him. When I'm troubled I visit his grave and a calm comes over me, I come away with the feeling things will be okay, and they usually are. I will be buried in the same grave as him. We made that decision years before he passed and already had our plot and headstone. I spent two-thirds of my adult life with him and he was the love of my life, still is! ❤
All of her songs are amazing. I personally took this as a lover who has passed on, not a breakup. It's amazing how different people have their own takes on lyrics and what they mean to them. Keep up the good work and I hope you dive into the amazingness that is Evanescence.
The song was written by Amy Lee when she was 19 about having been desensitized in an abusive relationship and realizing things she had been missing in life. Off the album fallen awsome esp my immortal 🎶
I took, thought of a lover who passed away, possibly self intended, because they were obviously tortured, "when you cried, when you'd scream... I held your hand for all these years... You still have all of me." And, now, still so attached with her immortal.
Ok, bear with me here, please, please, please go back and watch the video one more time. This time look at from the point of view that she is dead and a ghost. Check out the bandages around her wrist. Sitting up in a tree, on a rooftop and even on top of a car. No one looks at her. Maybe it's just me but ..... check it out. He can't let her go and because of that she can't move on.
Gotta say part of my soul was never on board with how I interpreted the video .. I never looked at it the way you described -- WOW truly whole feeling when I view the storyline this way. Much Gratitude for sharing it!!!!
She’s in white, he’s in black. She is always on something (car roof, tree, scaffolding, etc.) and he is always grounded. Amy Lee once said that this song was the perspective of a spirit trying to move on after death, but her loved one can’t let go.
Notice her feet never actually touch the ground. The kids playing doesn't see her. She is an angel. He's grieving the loss of her. She saying that even though I'm gone I will always be there. Her sister also passed away when she was young. Bring Me To Life...
@@richardboss2892 and the children never see her and this is the official analysis The lyrics of the song refer to a spirit that haunts the memory of a grieving loved one
I met my husband when I was 15 and he was 18. We married 12 days after my 16th birthday. We will celebrate our 51st wedding anniversary next month. My husband just turned 70 years old and I will be 67 next month. I can't imagine my life without him.
Amy lost her little sister who was 3yo when she passed. And while Amy has a lot of songs openly dedicated to her, this one was not confirmed to be such, but there is no doubt in my mind the event influenced this incredibly sad song. Amy is the oldest of five siblings, and she lost her brother a couple of years back to severe epilepsy, when he was 24. I am youngest of 3 siblings and can not imagine her pain, and the fact that she is creating masterpieces out of it is worth admiration at the very least.
It is about her sister, or at least she is channeling her own emotions in her singing. It doesn't really matter what it is about, it is about her sister to her... And you can feel it.
The song is about a child, her baby sister who died. It's about her spirit still lingering with her and memories. All her songs have meaning. You should check out memories by within temptation. It's amazing.
This song tears me up every time. It always makes me think about about what my Mom must have felt when my Dad passed at the age of 59. I totally agree with you about the songs meaning.
Amy Lee is an amazing singer. She is the lead singer for Evanescence. Bring Me To Life is one that you've probably heard. It's the song that put them on the map.
Every time I hear this song, I start bawling because it reminds me of my late husband. We were married for 11 years and he abandoned me. About a year or so later, he died. (committed suicide). I never have stopped loving him or missing him, and because of that, I have never been able to "move on" with my life. I think about him every single day, and I still have very vivid dreams of him. We had a "rollercoaster" marriage, but I never stopped loving him even after he cheated on, lied to me, stole from me, and broke my heart. Even to this very day, I sometimes think I can still hear his voice. I will love him till my last breath.
The times I've bawled my eyes out while listening to this song... It was breathtaking when it came out. Its that soft, velvety Aimee Lee's voice texture that is so hauntingly beautiful. Also she is an amazing pianist.
Man, I got catapulted back to my teenager times and experienced that pressure on my chest and pain again. Haven't listened to that song for a decade at least.
To me this has always been a song about someone passing on that has meant the world to you. Even the video with her all in white and never touching the ground seems ghostly. I have seen them live on multiple occasions and her voice is even better in person. For next songs hit the popular ones like Bring me to Life or Call me when your sober
I don't think you are using the term "underrated" correctly. She is absolutely not. Vocal coaches, professional musicians, and music legends have all highly praised her voice. That's not underrated in any sense. I have not met a single person who doesn't love her voice.
@@brucethrasher8551 I'm Scottish, so in a position to comment there is not enough recognition here. It's all relative. Thank you for your 'correction' . I do however have an English Literature PHD, therefore I am familiar with the meaning of "underrated".
Dear Lord I had this printed out and placed on the spot where my beautiful husband of 25 years died in a horrible car crash just over two years ago 💔💔💔 LOVE & MISS YOU MY ANTHONY ❣️
I'm so sorry!! Aside from losing another child, losing my significant other is my nightmare! I hope you've found peace and healing (as much as you ever can) from it! ❤ 🙏
Dude, this is about someone dying. Not a break up. Their spirit lingers and she wishes it would leave so she can carry on with her life. Listen again with that in mind and I bet you cry.
Amy Lee has an amazing voice. Another female singer you should check out is Lzzy Hale from Halestorm. She has a gorgeous duet with Amy Lee called Break In. It's Lzzy's song, but there is a live studio version with Amy that is incredible.
I saw both in concert TOGETHER. Amazing! I've seen Evanescence 4x, including their 1st tour. I also have every Halestorm album. You need to know that Halestorm is more pure rock bordering on hard rock. Also, Lzzy's voice is very different. Evanescence was half a decade after Nightwish. Maybe check out Within Temptation for the same genre. Amaranthe is unique, blending multiple genres with 3 singers. For female fronted rock bands, I like Halestorm the best. The Pretty Reckless is also good. 💜
If I remember correctly, this song is primarily about Amy’s younger sister’s passing away as a child from an extended illness. They were both pretty young. And yes, she portrays an Angel in the video.
I think its safe to say the song is about loss and grief in general, but it was written by her band mate (the guy in the video) after he lost his grandfather. Amy wrote other songs for her sister, but this isnt one.
She wrote the song about her sister who died One good thing about her video is that it can be interpreted anyway that you wish to be and she left it open for that. The actual words and the song was about her sister but if you wished, It could be about anybody you cared for. One thing I want you to think about and watch the video notice that he's walking around and never sees her. She never touches the ground. She's a ghost.
the lyrics were contributed by band member ben moody and they have nothing to do with amy's sister. the song about her sister is called hello, not my immortal. sorry but that's how it is...😉
This isn't a breakup song. The song is about losing someone in this life. If you pay attention to the lyrics, she's talking about someone no longer in this world.
It was released a while ago my daughter introduced me to this group and I'm so grateful. My daughter is no longer with us but every time I hear music Kaitlyn shared with me, my heart is full. Thank you
Felt guilty liking Floor after years of loving Amy. Such a pure voice. She is the ghost. Grieving partner on the piano, wrists bandaged, all of the other hints. Loss as viewed from the other side. A beautiful, sad song by an immaculate vocalist.
I saw Evanescence live in 2022. I was a huge fan when i was a teen, and it was a full circle moment for me. It was surreal to see her and her piano,just singing this song. all the lighters in the place were up. And she can sing her damn face off, to this day
I always loved this song when it came out, but now it’s the closest to my heartbreak after my immortal love died 5 years ago. There’s no getting over that kind of loss. You just have to learn a new way to breathe. 🥺
While many people think this song is about Amy Lee's sister who passed away, it's not. Per Wikipedia: The song's words were originally written by Moody from fiction and the music written by Lee on piano when they were 15, after which Lee added the bridge. The lyrics of the song refer to a spirit that haunts the memory of a grieving loved one, according to MTV. Lee considered it Moody's song as he wrote the lyrics. She contributed "a little bit" to the lyrics, but does not connect with the song as it does not have personal meaning to her. However, She wrote the songs "Hello" from Fallen and "Like You" from The Open Door for her late sister.
I listened to her all through high school, and from her, i went to lacuna Coil, then fly leaf and hailstorm man i could keep going but the piont is she really started some of us down that path of music
I'm not a night wish fan. However I will always show up for some Amy Lee. Her music has gotten me through a lot over the years. Even during times I wasn't going through it. I'm still so captivated by her voice and always get sucked in. Her presence is just so powerful to me, and her music is so deep and raw. I love all types of music. However, for me, the deeper the message, the better. I just love that real, raw ish. I love the art of music period. It's one thing for someone to make music but if you can captivate people like that, you just can not deny the level of skill. Also like you said it's rare to find breakup music like this. Yes, there may be more artists going in this deep about a legit lost love. However, when she came on the scene, there just wasn't at all. I also love how well the band just comes in at just the right time to put perfect emphasis on the emotion being conveyed at that moment. ❤❤
Her voice is haunting. This song is so relatable to many for many different reasons. Loss of a loved one by death or just the death of a relationship. When she sings, "But though you're still with me, I've been alone all the long" implies a relationship where one person is still holding on while the other is half way out the door.
Evanescence began in 1996. Same year as Nightwish. But the didnt have their breakthrough untill 2000ish Amy Lee is a generational talent. She is a top 10 singer of our lifetime. Floor, Simone and Sharon are probably the only three who has her beat¨.
Oohh.If I'm not mistaken, this is about death of a partner not a breakup. The lyric, Tried to tell myself you're gone, you're still with me but I've been alone all along". I thought this one was gonna get you once you were zoned in.. This is from one of my fave music eras...I was all up in Evanescence, Staind, Hoopastank, 3Doors Down, LinkinPark, Seether... I was in it... Good GOOD MUSIC.. REAL BANDS, NO AI... Broken and Bring Me to Life are her other 2 big songs.
Amy Lee lost her sister and her writing partner lost his grandfather whom he was taking care of until the end. This isn't about romance. This about the death of their family members.
Like I said elsewhere, Amy & at least her lead guitarist came up out of Christianyourh camps. They talk about that in their biographies. Check it out if u like. Probably why u resonate with their tunes.
This is about death not a break up. I believe it was written by the piano player when he lost someone. The emotions for her are so real after losing her sister
Amy Lee's one of my favourite singers and she has an incredible voice! Lithium is also a great song.. it's darker and hits different to some of her others.
This is the great Amy Lee. Her voice is amazing, she is a classically trained vocalist and pianist. Evenessence is kind of Goth Rock I think. I love their music. She is also a solo artist as well. This song is about her sister that died when she was young. You should definitely listen to more Evenessence and her solo stuff.
I lost both of my parents when I was young, and this song came out a decade later. It's always resonated with me. This is how I feel about having had to live most of my life without them -- despite the many years, they are the first thing I think about with every new event in my life. They still "have all of me".
Evanescence has been around for quite awhile and Ive seen them live with Halestorm and both are absolutely amazing!! Definitely will second the hope that you dive deep into Evanescence amd Lzzy Hale from Halestorm!!
This song came out not long after my brother died I was 15 and my family imploded I didn't really have anyone to talk to about how I was feeling so I listened to this album and this song on repeat just trying to process my grief, this song still makes me think of my brother and it still makes me cry.
This song saved DMCs (from Run DMC) life. I remember hearing an interview where he told a story of being really depressed and hearing this song and it helped him get though. He ended up listening to this song at least once a day
Still struggle to listen to this song to this day. It came out only a couple of days after my fiancé passed away. It’s a beautiful song, and Amy Lee is an incredible singer and writer. Also to my memory, the album didn’t have the “heavy bit” which was only put in for the single.
Amy is ah-mazing. She does a lot of really good covers too. You should react to her singing Sally's Song from The Nightmare Before Christmas, it's haunting and beautiful!❤
Although any one that has lost someone through Death, gets this song. however, this song is about soulmates and one dies. Soulmate relationship is not easy. living in a world designed to tear you apart and no MAN can break the Bond you have. you never really get over it. you pretend too.
It's sad, because I listened to this song a lot when I was younger... and I never realized this happened to me. I fell in love with a guy and I lost him and I couldn't forget him for a very long time.
Amy Lee is an amazing artist and incredible vocalist. You might want to check out these tunes like Bring Me To Life, and Call Me When Your Sober, both excellent tunes you won't regret. Thanks for the memories.
I know most people hear this and think of a lover or partner who has passed or broken up with them, but I don't have that experience in my life so this song has always immediately thrown me back to the loss of my mother. The chorus has always felt like her words to me, how a parent wipes away your tears, chases away your fears, and holds your hand through the years. And now, even after all this time, I still feel her ghost at my side every time I cook a meal she taught me to make, or see her favorite flower (African Violets) or pull on a piece of clothing she made for me. And it feels like she's still with me, a piece of her always in her heart, and it warms me, but it's painful at the same time. With time, the sting has lessened and I can appreciate the memories, but in the beginning, it was very raw, and there were times when I just wished that if she had to be gone, she could be gone entirely, and take all my memories with her. I think this song truly captures grief. Loss of a serious relationship, through death or separation. And the lyrics are vague enough to capture any number of relationships. Loss of a partner, a parent, a child. The popularity really speaks to how much emotion she carries through to her audience. Great song.
I would love a reaction to Evanescence's live cover of the Korn song "Thoughtless" from the Paris concert/DVD. I'm not real big on covers but they nail that song.
I've always interpreted this song as not losing someone to a break-up, but losing someone to death.
I use it for that 😢
Stay safe ❤

Exactly. Think of the title of the song as well.
That's exactly how I view the video. And his grief is what is keeping her tethered to him.
She’s in white, he’s in black. She is always on something (car roof, tree, scaffolding, etc.) and he is always grounded. Amy Lee once said that this song was the perspective of a spirit trying to move on after death, but her loved one can’t let go.
This song is one of the most beautiful songs ever written…I cannot listen to this song without crying…it’s penetrates every part of my being.
Notice her feet never actually touch the ground. The kids playing doesn't see her. She is an angel. He's grieving the loss of her. She saying that even though I'm gone I will always be there. Her sister also passed away when she was young. Bring Me To Life...
💯 this is always how interpreted this song as well. She wrote this song as a teenager. Amy Lee one of the best
the most angelic feet and eyes with her ❤❤
I have always seen it as that but it’s his feelings and she’s singing how he feels witch makes it deeper
If she's passed, and is an angel, how is there a fly on her fingers at the end? 😏

I think your spot on. To me the song was about a child.
It is about her sister, or at least she is channeling her own emotions in her singing. It doesn't really matter what it is about, it is about her sister to her... And you can feel it.
It's not about her sister the song Hello is about her sister, this a song of a band mate lost a parent or grandparent.
She told in an interview this was not about a family member, but she declined to say anything else about it.
The song is about a child, her baby sister who died. It's about her spirit still lingering with her and memories. All her songs have meaning. You should check out memories by within temptation. It's amazing.

This album was one of those rare ones that every, single song was amazing. Very rare. Legendary.
Amy Lee has an amazing voice. Another female singer you should check out is Lzzy Hale from Halestorm. She has a gorgeous duet with Amy Lee called Break In. It's Lzzy's song, but there is a live studio version with Amy that is incredible.
I second checking out Lzzy Hale and Halestorm as well as Lennon (Lennon Murphy) and her songs "My Beautiful" and "5:30 Saturday Morning"
Yes! Lzzy and Amy doing Break In! Amazing how two rocker chicks can collaborate on a beautiful ballad. 🤘🏼🤘🏼❤️
I saw both in concert TOGETHER. Amazing! I've seen Evanescence 4x, including their 1st tour. I also have every Halestorm album. You need to know that Halestorm is more pure rock bordering on hard rock. Also, Lzzy's voice is very different.

Yes! I love Lzzy’s voice, and the two of them together ❤❤❤
She has one of the most pure and ethereal voices you may ever hear. She either wrote or cowrote the majority of their songs.
"My Heart is Broken" and "Call Me When Youre Sober" official mvs by Evanescence are musts.
If I remember correctly, this song is primarily about Amy’s younger sister’s passing away as a child from an extended illness. They were both pretty young.

This song became clear when I lost my son to suicide...it broke me...i feel every single note and word to this song. I miss him so much 😢
I'm so sorry for your loss.
She wrote the song about her sister who died
One good thing about her video is that it can be interpreted anyway that you wish to be and she left it open for that.
The actual words and the song was about her sister but if you wished, It could be about anybody you cared for.
One thing I want you to think about and watch the video notice that he's walking around and never sees her.
She never touches the ground.
She's a ghost.
the lyrics were contributed by band member ben moody and they have nothing to do with amy's sister. the song about her sister is called hello, not my immortal. sorry but that's how it is...😉
It is the death of a friend/family member... she is an angel in the song. her feet never touch the ground.
Isn't it amazing how music can bring us together not just divide
Watch more!!! You will be surprised. The most beautiful woman that walks this earth also !!!!!
This isn't a breakup song. The song is about losing someone in this life. If you pay attention to the lyrics, she's talking about someone no longer in this world.
It was released a while ago my daughter introduced me to this group and I'm so grateful. My daughter is no longer with us but every time I hear music Kaitlyn shared with me, my heart is full. Thank you
Felt guilty liking Floor after years of loving Amy. Such a pure voice.
She is the ghost. Grieving partner on the piano, wrists bandaged, all of the other hints.
Loss as viewed from the other side. A beautiful, sad song by an immaculate vocalist.
One of the most hauntingly beautiful songs ever
Listen to bring me to life
This song gives "just a dream"-Carrie Underwood vibes. So hauntingly beautiful makes me cry everytime.
My song to my son who passed by suicide at the age of 25 💔
She is so beautiful
I saw Evanescence live in 2022. I was a huge fan when i was a teen, and it was a full circle moment for me. It was surreal to see her and her piano,just singing this song. all the lighters in the place were up. And she can sing her damn face off, to this day
This song gives me chills........ so beautiful
Just beautiful x
Oh you will love this rabbit hole. You feel her voice❤️🔥
I always loved this song when it came out, but now it’s the closest to my heartbreak after my immortal love died 5 years ago. There’s no getting over that kind of loss. You just have to learn a new way to breathe. 🥺
While many people think this song is about Amy Lee's sister who passed away, it's not.
Per Wikipedia: The song's words were originally written by Moody from fiction and the music written by Lee on piano when they were 15, after which Lee added the bridge. The lyrics of the song refer to a spirit that haunts the memory of a grieving loved one, according to MTV. Lee considered it Moody's song as he wrote the lyrics. She contributed "a little bit" to the lyrics, but does not connect with the song as it does not have personal meaning to her.
However, She wrote the songs "Hello" from Fallen and "Like You" from The Open Door for her late sister.
I listened to her all through high school, and from her, i went to lacuna Coil, then fly leaf and hailstorm man i could keep going but the piont is she really started some of us down that path of music
One of my favorite groups
This song reminds me of my late mother all ways makes me cry I rember mom was always there to hold my hand when I needed someone.... R.i.p mom
I always get goose bumps when I hear this song! Good choice man!
Notice in the video that she never touches the ground. She's an angel.
Or a ghost who can't move on because the person whom she left alone can't.
Amy lee is amazing shes jusy as lovely to listen too as to look at.
Her voice has a cry in it. Unique and haunting.
Cry every time I hear .. this and "Bring Me To Life"
I'm not a night wish fan. However I will always show up for some Amy Lee. Her music has gotten me through a lot over the years. Even during times I wasn't going through it. I'm still so captivated by her voice and always get sucked in. Her presence is just so powerful to me, and her music is so deep and raw. I love all types of music. However, for me, the deeper the message, the better. I just love that real, raw ish. I love the art of music period. It's one thing for someone to make music but if you can captivate people like that, you just can not deny the level of skill. Also like you said it's rare to find breakup music like this. Yes, there may be more artists going in this deep about a legit lost love. However, when she came on the scene, there just wasn't at all. I also love how well the band just comes in at just the right time to put perfect emphasis on the emotion being conveyed at that moment. ❤❤
Same
Her voice is haunting. This song is so relatable to many for many different reasons. Loss of a loved one by death or just the death of a relationship. When she sings, "But though you're still with me, I've been alone all the long" implies a relationship where one person is still holding on while the other is half way out the door.
Evanescence began in 1996.
Same year as Nightwish.
But the didnt have their breakthrough untill 2000ish
Amy Lee is a generational talent.
She is a top 10 singer of our lifetime.
Floor, Simone and Sharon are probably the only three who has her beat¨.
Oohh.If I'm not mistaken, this is about death of a partner not a breakup. The lyric, Tried to tell myself you're gone, you're still with me but I've been alone all along". I thought this one was gonna get you once you were zoned in.. This is from one of my fave music eras...I was all up in Evanescence, Staind, Hoopastank, 3Doors Down, LinkinPark, Seether... I was in it... Good GOOD MUSIC.. REAL BANDS, NO AI...
Broken and Bring Me to Life are her other 2 big songs.
Amy Lee lost her sister and her writing partner lost his grandfather whom he was taking care of until the end. This isn't about romance. This about the death of their family members.
Love Amy, she also performs "Broken" with Seether ❤
Like I said elsewhere, Amy & at least her lead guitarist came up out of Christianyourh camps. They talk about that in their biographies. Check it out if u like. Probably why u resonate with their tunes.
Lost in Paradise with Amy Lee on the piano great song!!
this is my absolute fav. Song by them
This is about death not a break up. I believe it was written by the piano player when he lost someone. The emotions for her are so real after losing her sister
It was actually written by Amy Lee, the singer. She wrote it when her sister died.
Amy Lee's one of my favourite singers and she has an incredible voice!
Lithium is also a great song.. it's darker and hits different to some of her others.
This is the great Amy Lee. Her voice is amazing, she is a classically trained vocalist and pianist. Evenessence is kind of Goth Rock I think. I love their music. She is also a solo artist as well. This song is about her sister that died when she was young. You should definitely listen to more Evenessence and her solo stuff.
I lost both of my parents when I was young, and this song came out a decade later. It's always resonated with me. This is how I feel about having had to live most of my life without them -- despite the many years, they are the first thing I think about with every new event in my life. They still "have all of me".
She wrote the song My Immortal after the death of a Sibling.... Beautiful tribute ..
Evanescence has been around for quite awhile and Ive seen them live with Halestorm and both are absolutely amazing!! Definitely will second the hope that you dive deep into Evanescence amd Lzzy Hale from Halestorm!!
She rite all her Sung's since she was 12 with ben Moody the one playing the piano they were high school friend and they compote everything together.
Evanescence song 'Bring Me To Life' over 1 Billion views. Definitely something to listen. 2004.
This song came out not long after my brother died I was 15 and my family imploded I didn't really have anyone to talk to about how I was feeling so I listened to this album and this song on repeat just trying to process my grief, this song still makes me think of my brother and it still makes me cry.
My son died in 2008. This song helped me get to my grief. Thank you❤️
This song saved DMCs (from Run DMC) life. I remember hearing an interview where he told a story of being really depressed and hearing this song and it helped him get though. He ended up listening to this song at least once a day
Still struggle to listen to this song to this day. It came out only a couple of days after my fiancé passed away. It’s a beautiful song, and Amy Lee is an incredible singer and writer. Also to my memory, the album didn’t have the “heavy bit” which was only put in for the single.
GOD BLESS YOU SWEETHEART 🙏🙏🙏
I think this is about a loved one dying. She's dressed in white and never touches the ground in the video - possibly representing an angel.
Love the ending of this! Also like Call me when you’re sober.
You should absolutely check out more Evanescence.
Amy is ah-mazing. She does a lot of really good covers too. You should react to her singing Sally's Song from The Nightmare Before Christmas, it's haunting and beautiful!❤
I think it's about dying for love...maybe the wrong way. Her wrists are covered...she never touches the ground. Amazing song.
Found her music from the soundtrack of the movie DareDevil..my geek is showing...have since bought all of her songs..❤
I always thought this song was about loss. The devastating loss of a loved one.
Shes a great artist. You should listen to her " call me when your sober" and see her other side. Shes beautiful
She also has one called call me when you're sober. Her voice is beautiful evanescence also has bring me to life that I still jam to
Although any one that has lost someone through Death, gets this song. however, this song is about soulmates and one dies. Soulmate relationship is not easy. living in a world designed to tear you apart and no MAN can break the Bond you have. you never really get over it. you pretend too.
Great choice, Amy Lee voice is haunting. I strongly recommend from them the song Field of Innocence or Hello.
If you want to hear more female singers, try Within Temptation. Really good band and the singer has a great voice.
She has one of the most beautiful voices ever, hands down.
I saw this song live. Magnificent
It's sad, because I listened to this song a lot when I was younger... and I never realized this happened to me. I fell in love with a guy and I lost him and I couldn't forget him for a very long time.
Also check out Lzzy Hale, Halestorm, with Amy Lee.. Break In.
Evanescence's first album "Falllen" just celebrated it's 25th anniversary with a rerelease of the album.
Amy Lee is an amazing artist and incredible vocalist. You might want to check out these tunes like Bring Me To Life, and Call Me When Your Sober, both excellent tunes you won't regret.
Thanks for the memories.
This song released just after I lost my best friend in a horrific car wreck. This song embodies every emotion I felt at that time.
Angels voice
I know most people hear this and think of a lover or partner who has passed or broken up with them, but I don't have that experience in my life so this song has always immediately thrown me back to the loss of my mother. The chorus has always felt like her words to me, how a parent wipes away your tears, chases away your fears, and holds your hand through the years. And now, even after all this time, I still feel her ghost at my side every time I cook a meal she taught me to make, or see her favorite flower (African Violets) or pull on a piece of clothing she made for me. And it feels like she's still with me, a piece of her always in her heart, and it warms me, but it's painful at the same time. With time, the sting has lessened and I can appreciate the memories, but in the beginning, it was very raw, and there were times when I just wished that if she had to be gone, she could be gone entirely, and take all my memories with her. I think this song truly captures grief. Loss of a serious relationship, through death or separation. And the lyrics are vague enough to capture any number of relationships. Loss of a partner, a parent, a child. The popularity really speaks to how much emotion she carries through to her audience. Great song.
My grandmother was that loss for me. Still after 15 yrs, I can't hardly look at a picture of her. Love to you❤
The song is actually about Amy's (the singer) sister who passed away so it makes sense you feel the songs connection to your mum 😊
Evanescence is the band. Amy Lee is the amazing singer and composer of their music. She plays piano and sings.
I feel this song in my heart, ever since my wife past
Do the song Lithium from Evanescence next. Its my personal favorite right after Going under.
Amy Lee's voice is a force of nature. This song is great, but my favorite Evanescence ever put out was Going Under.
I would love a reaction to Evanescence's live cover of the Korn song "Thoughtless" from the Paris concert/DVD. I'm not real big on covers but they nail that song.
