if this is the first time you are checking out one of my videos, welcome to the channel!! i would love it if you would join the hefnerd family! a little message to everyone: i hope you guys are having an amazing rest of your day! yall deserve it! much love! :)
I mean her voice is completely out of the fucking World and I think it happened to us all when we first heard it. It's actually so much fun watching someone react to her voice for the first time. Takes me back to when I did about a decade ago ♥️
Your right that there isn't an official video for this song, but I've found a lyrics video by thatvideomakingkid that has a very moving photo montage running in the background, I think it would allow Alex to react to it as the photos are following the music very closely. Check it out.
@@nyxyn3109 I really wasn't too sure how I felt about this song the first time I heard. But after thinking about it, I played it again....and again, and had to decide that I really did like it. Evanescence has SO MANY great songs, that I can't single out any one song as being a favorite. But I DO like the story that goes along with this song about Amy's younger sister. And yes, it is a very intense, and moving song. BTW did you check out the lyrics video I mentioned about this song by thatvideomakingkid, if you haven't look it up, and I think you'll find that the photos that are running in the background are a very good series that follow along with the story of this song. :D ❤
@@mikehall4190I did and I really did enjoy it and think its a must watch since there sadly isn't an official vid for this one. yeah it can take a while to get hold of you but this song never let's go.
Said before, will say it again and again: Amy Lee is an actual siren. Yes, the mythical creature. I've heard all sorts of incredibly talented male and female singers and vocalists but there is something UN-NATURALLY haunting/striking/cutting about her voice that it goes past my ears and directly touches my soul.
She is incredible no question definitely on my top 5 but their are two female metal singers in my opinion that have better voices and those two are Floor Jansen and Sharon Den Adel@@gingersnap9712
This song is about bipolar dissorder where you go through manic episodes and depressive episodes. The dark amy vs light amy represents just that. Keep changing between manic and depressive. The song is called lithium because that is usually the medicine given to bipolar people because it help you feel numb. The former songwriter for evanescence Ben Moody suffered from bipolar so i think amy may have been inspired by him and his struggles when she wrote this song
I feel like this song is also about a bad relationship. She switches from light to dark constantly in the song, like a relationship that constantly shifts from being great to being terrible. One moment, you feel the partner is to blame ("Didn't drink enough to say you loved me"), and then start blaming yourself ("Wonder what's wrong with me"). Eventually, the fight for a healthy relationship becomes so much of a struggle that you give up the fight ("I forgive you after all"). Beautiful metaphor through the use of lithium in patients with bipolar disorder.
Ok. I basically agree with everything you said. Except your saying that lithium is a drug known for making whoever is on it, numb. I've been on lithium for God knows how many years, and never once did it make me feel numb. If it's being used correctly, it shouldn't! What it's supposed to do, is basically, even whoever is on it out. You know, whoever has bipolar disorder, and lithium works for them, you just feel back to normal
I was on Lithium for a while. It really does lock you away. It puts your soul into a prison. It makes you less depressed, but it makes you less everything else too. You become a shadow of a person.
In addition to being "locked away" I had severely disturbing nightmares so realistic it took several hours to realize it WASN'T real. As a result I had several brief psychotic breaks while on lithium. As a side note, it's never mentioned but DM cough syrups should NEVER be mixed with lithium or other manic depressive treatments; I found out the hard way.
I think it's worth mentioning that lithium doesn't have the same effects on everyone. I was basically losing my mind in high school from mood swings and lithium actually helped me a lot without the dull greyness
Because there isn't an official video for this song Alex might not do it. I have, however seen a lyrics video by thatvideomakingkid that has a very moving photo montage running in the background. The photos follow very closely with the lyrics, and they add a lot to the song. Check it out. :)😅

@@nyxyn3109 Do check out the lyrics video of that song by thatvideomakingkid. He did a really good joidchoosing photos that follow the sing pretty closely. I think you might like it, even if it isn't an official video, it probably could be. :) 😅
@@ssweetdecadence Jeez! Sorry about that. Evanescence makes me giddy, plus I like when I get comments back. I went back and forth in a conversation for like 4 hoursm after someone replied to a comment I made about his comment
@@ssweetdecadence Plus, I thought that a reply was a less likely to be viewed by other people. You know. And I'm kind of new to this channel, I only just found Alex when I was surfing looking for Evanescence reactions, a d found his review for Going Under. I subscribed right after watching that one.
Try going back to their roots... Now that the band got your attention, try Origin, then the EP's, then The Grammy award winning Album... then the direction switching, heartbreaking masterpiece, Open Door, then their rebirth of a self-titled album. Been a fan all my life, and this band defined the early 2000's and ushered in the DArk Rock era
So I always interpreted this song as like an unhealthy relationship with depression. Like you know it’s bad for you, you know you should try to get better but you’re comfortable in the darkness and that’s the only way you know yourself. You don’t want to forget how it feels without medication, you want to remember how depression feels because it’s who you are but god you just want to let it go so bad.
Who cares if it gets on some people's nerves, they don't have to watch and Evanescence video if they don't want to! I love seeing you discover them! Please try Sweet Sacrifice, Imperfection or My Heart Is Broken next 😊
I’m rediscovering a love for music that I haven’t listened to in years. Watching Alex react is almost like hearing the songs for the first time all over again. Dig the positive energy brah!
This song is about the effects of Lithium drugs taken for bipolar (and depression?). It makes you numb and unable to feel. Amy in the water is the one who has taken the lithium and feels numb and wants to get out, the Amy out in the snow is the one considering whether she would rather take the lithium or keep feeling so depressed. My family and friends have been on lithium before and it was heartbreaking to see them unable to feel. They felt like zombies: no pain, but no longer themselves and they couldn't even cry if they wanted.
I was on lithium and the experience was kind of like this song (apathy and emptiness). If I could have heard Amy Lee in my head the whole time I might have stayed on it.
See my explanation....exactly the same! I have not been on lithium but was placed on Zoloft and it numbed me....simplify your life, get out and excercise, meditate, and you'll be fine!
@@jmwild1 just replied incorrectly, lol. I know it is hard. Anxiety gets me more than anything. If you try diet, exercise, meditation (a must, it changes the "wiring" in your brain), and of course therapy, you may find your symptoms may abate a bit. They did for me and others who suffer....its not perfect but I would say 50-70% better. Best of luck to you and good health. It's a short life make the most out of each day!
@@amandahibbs3690 Well then, how do you feel about Hello? Together Again? Tourniquet? Or, how about you tell me what you like. I'm a lover of some of the songs from any, and all of their albums. Evanescence is my favorite band (I only found them about 6 months ago) and they replaced my last favorite band (Oingo Boingo) and they had been my favorite band for 25-30 years. That's how good I think Evanescence is..
Lithium is used to treat depression, but (if you've been on anti-depressives) it has the ability to turn you into a zombie. The song is about conflict with her depression, one one side she needs to drug to function, but it suppresses her real state of mind. Lyrics like "Don't lock me up inside / don't want to forget how it feels / drown my will to fly / I want to stay in love with my sorrow, but god I want to let it go". The classic line, "wonder what's wrong with me" - I think if you've been there you'll understand these emotions and the sheer conflict. People often come off the drugs they are on in order to feel again "And in the end I guess I had to fall , always find my place among the ashes". I believe the lake is her entering that state when the drugs are drowning her. It's a beautiful song, tainted with the real agony of severe bi-polar / depression people genuinely suffer (note the razor blades in the opening scenes).
Actually, it's a bit different how Amy explained to MTV Italy : It’s not literal about the drug for me, I’ve never taken lithium before. It’s sort of a metaphor about numbness and happiness and sort of like, it’s me looking at happiness in a negative way because I’ve always been kind of afraid to be happy. Like with the band and the art and everything else, it’s always like I’m never letting myself break through into the happiness it seems like, because it’s not cool or something. And describing happiness is lithium, it’s like saying ‘that’s numbness, I won’t be able to be an artist anymore if I’m happy,’ which is hilarious because that’s just not true, I’m happy. So it’s like this fight within the song of like ‘do I do this and get out of here and get happy or do I wallow in it like I always do?’ And it’s cool because at the end of the song I say ‘I’m going to let it go,’ like I am going to be happy.
@@AmyLeeForever I've heard amy say it is about lithium referring to somebody in her life. She's asking is it ok to remove the "mania, impulsivity, conquer the world" aspect that lithium addresses versus having those ups and downs like most. I've not taken it, but I would rather learn to manage the mania and depression and have them as human emotions even if not "normal ones" than be numb. That's just me. Zoloft did it to me amongst other bad things my girlfriend didnt like, lol! Not my president either!
Amy is the ultimate goddess of rock music. The beautiful sweet & powerful quality of her voice, together with the hard rock music of her band make both a perfect match. Amy could sing a shopping list and it would sound just as amazing. She's just incredible.
This song gives me full body goosebumps every time. Hearing it live with the orchestra with the energy of hundreds of people takes it to another level.
I always scroll through Alex's comments after a video, and Everybody's Fool has gotten the majority of Evanesence's requests. But IMO there are a LOT of choices. :) 😅
I always enjoy your reactions mah dude. I've listened to Evanescence for years and years, but going through your videos....it almost feels as if I'm discovering them all over again.
This is one of those few songs that actually continue to give me goosebumps years after I first heard it. It's funny that you mention how you noticed as though there were like two separate Amy Lee's singing. A lot of people don't know that lithium was used to treat bi-polar disorder.
This is actually my favorite song by them, I was hoping you'd react to it man. I'm glad you're enjoying Evanescence and Amy's amazing voice. Love the channel man.
This is my favourite song by Evanescence. It is so incredibly powerful in every single aspect - the music, the lyrics, the video, and of course Amy's vocals!! I can listen to this over and over and over again. For me, it will never get old. I don't understand at all, why anyone would dislike this song, how can you find fault in perfection?? Thank you Alex for doing this one!
I personally think Alex trys to be fair about the different songs, and styles of music, and he does a pretty good job of it. IMO it was time for a song by Evanescence.
Loving the evanescence reactions good sir, would be awesome if you did the next one to “tourniquet” great song by them, also still waiting for a reaction to NoSelf, fully understand that you can get super busy. As joe dirt says “keep on keeping on” and have an absofuckinglutely dope ass day. 🤘🤘

I love how much fun you are having listening to them. Makes me feel like I'm listening to them for the first time again too.
Bro, you might as well react to their “Fallen” album like you did with “Iowa.” You won’t be disappointed.
Noo, The Open Door is better! :D
You need to do "Imperfection" by them or "Speak To Me" By Amy, awesome songs. And the second one just gives even more to her voice.
Speak to me is one of her best works.
Within Temptation - Paradise ft Tarja.
Alex pleeeeease
Yep. Already mentioned it in another vid. Alex has to listen to it.
YES
Yeessssss please!!!!
I LOVE Tarja...sigh
This song is just beautiful!! My favorite from evanescence and one of my favorites ever
This song gives me full body goosebumps every time. Hearing it live with the orchestra with the energy of hundreds of people takes it to another level.
Do everybody's fool next, you'll love it and feel sad at the same time.
I keep track and this song has gotten the most requests, so who knows, maybe :) 😅
Said it before and I'll say it again, can't go wrong with Evanescence
Oml 👏🏻❣️ Please react to Everybody’s Fool By Evanescence. Love this video ❣️
Everyone please destroy the like button under this comment, Alex neds to see that video (:
Didn't he react to it?
@@slow4129 Nope. Not yet.
LOVE that song and video 👍👍👍
I always scroll through Alex's comments after a video, and Everybody's Fool has gotten the majority of Evanesence's requests. But IMO there are a LOT of choices. :) 😅
That voice !!!!!
Even after all these years of listening to evanescence, I still get goosebumps.
Please do the live Freak on a Leash with Korn and Amy Lee.
Yes
YES!
LOVE that one!!!!!!!
Kenny Pilger wow thanks I’m going to look that one up! 😍
More epica and within temptation
Yahhh, please
Evanescence is my life since 2003. I live your reacts vídeos about this amazing band
Yep she's pretty amazing. Especially when you hear her live 🙂
Hello, My Heart Is Broken, Everybodys Fool, or The Last Song Im Wasting On You!!
This is one of my favourite Evanescence songs thank you so much for your reaction
I always enjoy your reactions mah dude. I've listened to Evanescence for years and years, but going through your videos....it almost feels as if I'm discovering them all over again.
I have that same feeling, it reminds me of how I felt after finding them! :) 😅
This is one of those few songs that actually continue to give me goosebumps years after I first heard it.
It's funny that you mention how you noticed as though there were like two separate Amy Lee's singing. A lot of people don't know that lithium was used to treat bi-polar disorder.
She does sing so so so beautifully, its art for your ears!!!! 🖤🖤🤘🤘💯💯 Oh n by the by----NOPE never get tired of super great talent like Amy!!! 💖💖
Shes amazing to see live live Amy Lee 🖤
I've been lucky enough to see Evanescence live before and can confirm the same! SO amazing live!!
Ive seen her twice!! In 2011 and for Synthesis !! Obsessed !!!
First saw Ev back in 2004
Saw a video of Amy doing My Immortal live with an acoustic guitar to accompany her. She does a unbelievable job of it. Look that one up! :) 😅
This is actually my favorite song by them, I was hoping you'd react to it man. I'm glad you're enjoying Evanescence and Amy's amazing voice. Love the channel man.
PLEASE REACT TO MY HEART IS BROKEN BY EVANESCENCE NEXT
this is my 2nd favourite song ever my immortal is my favourite, you are awesome alex
This is my favourite song by Evanescence. It is so incredibly powerful in every single aspect - the music, the lyrics, the video, and of course Amy's vocals!! I can listen to this over and over and over again. For me, it will never get old. I don't understand at all, why anyone would dislike this song, how can you find fault in perfection?? Thank you Alex for doing this one!
React to "sweet sacrifice - Evanescence"
The majority (I keep track) wants Everybody's Fool next. I saw one other request for Sweet Sacrifice though :) 😅
Whoops, the very next request (after yours) is also for Sweet Sacrifice, that makes 3 of them. Unfortunately Everybody's Fool is the frontrunner.
Absolutely love this song. So happy you are enjoying.
She was my high school crush growing up, she still is 🥰 amazingly talented, beautiful and just down right lovely
Hello is haunting and beyond beautiful, always gets chills beyond anything.
DO NOT stop with the Evanescence. The most nostalgic band for me. Also first band I've owned a full CD for
who tf is complaining about too much Evanescence?? Like seriously ppl, let the guy react to what he wants to react to.
Literally no such thing as too much Evanescence 😂😍
stfu
I personally think Alex trys to be fair about the different songs, and styles of music, and he does a pretty good job of it. IMO it was time for a song by Evanescence.
That's the great thing about the internet. If you don't want to listen to something, don't click on it. It really is that easy!
Its the Slipknot and Screamo fan babies.
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!!!!!! Thanks, amazing reaction ✨
Every time she opens her mouth I get goose bump/chills head to toe. They are amazing live. And very sweet humble people in person.😍😍😍
One of my fave Evanescene songs and videos ever.... helped me through my teenage years
Evanescence - Breathe No More
Finally!!!! Thank you! Next song from Evanescence Sweet sacrifice!!!
"Everybody's fool" was one of my favourites too
Amy Lee's singing can literally bring me to tears. So powerful
Wow instant goosebumps here what a voice is she human the voice of an angel
This was the one i was waiting for. Love this song.
This was dope! You should hear their song; Like You. Also Within Temptation - Paradise ft Tarja.
Loving the evanescence reactions good sir, would be awesome if you did the next one to “tourniquet” great song by them, also still waiting for a reaction to NoSelf, fully understand that you can get super busy. As joe dirt says “keep on keeping on” and have an absofuckinglutely dope ass day. 🤘🤘
I was just waiting for your face to change when she hits that high on the last “lithium”…gives me chills down my whole damn body.
Just grabs your soul. Couldn't help but sing along.
Yes! I've been waiting for this reaction since I saw your first reaction a few days ago, lol.
Dude you gotta listen to "It's been awhile" by Staind, that band has some awesome songs!
Literally any Staind song! He needs to experience Aaron Lewis' voice!!
Staind is so good
Killswitch engage - My Curse
I promise you will love it!! Album version
Yes yes yes I hope if he does it he listens to the album version like you said it’s 200% better
Every couple of months I come back and check this reaction 😂😂😂 it is soooo nice !!! 👍
Still a fan since I heard Amy Lee the first time 14-15yrs ago. Love her to bits
