    For those of you wondering, the intro song is "The In-Between", a piano solo from Synthesis.

      Cody Delahunty WAHH I DON'T BUT I'd keep an eye out for covers, the uploader(s) may or may not have self arranged sheets, considering a day or two after Imperfection first appeared on UA-cam someone made a piano arrangement. It's very likely that someone will make one of "The In-Between" too! It'll probably be after the album is released and more people find out where it's from though.

    WOW. JUST WOW. The lyrics are second only to Amy’s vocals in their power. The transitions of this song mirror how quickly the stages in life can flow. You’re left holding onto the few strands of your old life while you cope with the changes and grieve the losses. And then the opening piano is so gorgeous. The illusion of simplicity in the key strokes flows above such a rich and vastly more complicated yet subtle foundation. Evanescence never fails.

    For someone who fought depression for many years, hearing Amy beautifullly shouting "don't you dare surrender. I'm still right beside you" makes me tremble. Of course, not because "yeah, ok, one of my favorite singers is beside me" but because in truth makes me think of so many people that tried many times to say it to me, and sometimes was that ideia, that shouting, that actually saved me. My professors, my sister, now my boyfriend. I'm so thankfull for that and love them so much.
    Now, in a better moment of my life, I'm trying hard to be the person that say "don't you dare surrender" and be beside those I can help.

    Amy is just as beautiful as the day I met her in 2011 in Texas. I’ll never forget that day. When I thanked her for her music you would have thought she was a new artist with how humble she was. So sweet. When we took a photo I wanted to be respectful so I asked if I could put my arm on her shoulder. I did & she just smirked, grabbed my arm and put it around her waist instead. We tend to idolize our hero’s but she’s just a warm, real person. I hope to meet her again one day because her music saw me through so many heartbreakingly difficult years. Her music helped me hold on & not give up & for that I’ll always be grateful. 💜💜💜

      Evanescence has held a very special place in my heart since I was a kid. I listened to them way more than anything else and know all of their older songs by heart. To be able to thank them, especially Amy, in person, especially now having heard and seen in interviews how down-to-earth and humble she is, I would just melt and be so happy and would probably cry.

      Ethentent Aw I know the feeling. Hopefully you’ll get to meet her & the band one day. I won a pre-show meet & greet where we got to watch the band rehearse on stage, stand in a line & say hi to them all, get autographs & get a photo. They were all so nice & considerate. The crew gave the band silver markers for autographs but I wanted them to sign a grey t-shirt so it wouldn’t have worked (silver on grey). The minute Terry realized it he walked over to a crew member & had them get a black marker just so they could sign my shirt. My only regret is the photo. According to the fan club rules we were each allowed to take a photo with our smartphones. The employees at the venue were like, “Nope no time for that. There’s a photographer here he’ll just snap the pics & you can download them from this website.” Well when I got home & went to the site the pics were there, but they were SO pixelated & poor quality that my eyes looked like two black dots! 😢 My husband did his best in photoshop to touch it up & framed it for me. Overall though it was amazing. They don’t have an official, paid fan club anymore (to my knowledge they discontinued that). Your best bet is probably just to check all the bands social media account ahead of time if they’re coming to your city & see if there’s meet & greet opportunities. Some people know how to find the tour bus outside to catch them on their way out of town but I could never get the hang of that. Haha. Good luck! 😉

    *_♥ Lyrics ♥_*
    *_[Verse 1]_*
    The more you try to fight it
    The more you try to hide it
    The more infected, rejected, you feel alone inside it
    You know you can't deny it
    The world's a little more fucked up everyday
    I'm gonna save you from it
    Together we'll outrun it
    Just don't give into the fear
    So many things I would've told you If I knew that I was never gonna see you again
    *_[Pre-Chorus 1]_*
    I wanna lift you up into the light that you deserve
    I wanna take your pain into myself so you won't hurt
    *_[Chorus]_* 3:09
    Don't you dare surrender
    Don't leave me here without you
    Cause I could never
    Replace your perfect imperfection
    *_[Verse 2]_*
    The way you look us over
    Your counterfeit composure
    Pushing again and again and sinking lower and lower
    The world is on our shoulders
    Do you really know the weight of the words you say?
    You want a little of it
    You just can't let go of it
    You've got an ego to feed
    Too late to rise above it
    Don't look now but the little girl's got a grenade
    *_[Pre-Chorus 2]_* 4:24
    I'm gonna lift you up into the light you deserve
    I'm gonna take you down to the real world so you can watch it burn
    *_[Chorus]_*
    Don't you dare surrender
    Don't leave me here without you
    Cause I would never
    Replace your perfect imperfection
    *_[Bridge]_*
    We stand undefined
    Can't be drawn with a straight line
    This will not be our ending
    We are alive, we are alive
    *_[Chorus]_* 5:39
    Don't you dare surrender
    Don't leave me here without you
    Cause I could never
    Replace your perfect imperfection
    *_[Outro]_* 6:04
    Don't you dare surrender
    I'm still right beside you
    And I could never
    Replace your perfect imperfection

      Paraloya Akhlaken- The initial statement in my comment was quite obviously a sarcastic remark. Thus, your reply is quite off putting. Perhaps, instead of worrying yourself over the spiritual paths of others, you should focus on finding your own path into grammatical correctness.

    Bands change. People grow. Absolutely nothing stays the same. I don't see why people expect the exact same things for years, over & over. Yeah, the video could be better but just because they took a different approach to what fans may have expected (which is the whole purpose of Synthesis), doesn't make the video or Evanescence terrible. Just enjoy them while they're still together 🙂

    It’s for all the people we’ve lost, all the people who we could lose, to suicide and depression. I’m singing from the perspective of the person left behind, the person in the waiting room. It’s a plea to fight for your life, to stay. Don’t give into the fear- I have to tell myself that every day. Nobody is perfect. We are all imperfect, and it’s precisely those imperfections that make us who we are, and we have to embrace them because there’s so much beauty in those differences.”
    She added: “Life is worth fighting for. You are worth fighting for.”

    Lyrics:
    The more you try to fight it
    The more you try to hide it
    The more infected, rejected, you feel alone inside it
    You know you can't deny it
    The world's a little more fucked up everyday
    I'm gonna save you from it
    Together we'll outrun it
    Just don't give into the fear
    So many things I would've told you If I knew that I was never gonna see you again
    I wanna lift you up into the light that you deserve
    I wanna take your pain into myself so you won't hurt
    Don't you dare surrender
    Don't leave me here without you
    'Cause I could never
    Replace your perfect imperfection
    The way you look us over
    Your counterfeit composure
    Pushing again and again and sinking lower and lower
    The world is on our shoulders
    Do you really know the weight of the words you say?
    You want a little of it
    You just can't let go of it
    You've got an ego to feed
    Too late to rise above it
    Don't look now but the little girl's got a grenade
    I'm gonna lift you up into the light you deserve
    I'm gonna take you down to the real world so you can watch it burn
    Don't you dare surrender
    Don't leave me here without you
    'Cause I would never
    Replace your perfect imperfection
    We stand undefined
    Can't be drawn with a straight line
    This will not be our ending
    We are alive, we are alive
    Don't you dare surrender
    Don't leave me here without you
    'Cause I would never
    Replace your perfect imperfection
    Don't you dare surrender
    I'm still right beside you
    And I would never
    Replace your perfect imperfection

We just gotta do our best and what's best and healthy for us every day, and when we get overwhelmed we back off for a few days and chill. It all really is overwhelming.

      That's absolutely not true. Never has it been mentioned anywhere that she was bullied or suffered severe depression. Do a little research and you'll find that the whole album is about suffering and loss in general. Amy Lee tends to not personalize her music like that.

      She has said herself that she suffered with depression when she was younger and that it inspired a lot of her writing. It's also pretty obvious in her writing. The idea that Amy doesn't personalize her music is laughable. It's also extremely easy to find her talking about her personal connection to her music. ua-cam.com/video/l4cbVLlU6p0/v-deo.html Don't be ridiculous. She also suffered with depression from losing her sister at such a young age, and she has also written songs (such as "Hello") about her sister that passed away when she was a child and that is pretty goddamn personal.

    I turn to this song whenever I think of my sister or when my son has struggles. I lost my sister to herself in 2016 and that year my son lost a second mother. My sister and I lost our father the same way.
    Kiddo's been through so much and sometimes he struggles hard. In this world you cannot always protect your children. There are disgusting and selfish adults in this world who either don't care or think about the impact they have. And after the fact you can't just erase what happened or lift the pain away.
    I have my own struggles and past but have learned to push past them. I want to give my son the tools I never had at his age (took me years to develop) so he can make it and be strong against outside and inner forces. But he's so much like my father and sister it's scary. I want him to make it out and thrive. I want him to be able to break that pattern and I live for that.

    Her voice is perfection. The notes flow past her lips like a clean mountain stream, crystal smooth and dancing in effortless yet absolute precision. In a music industry so polluted by dishonesty and falsehood, I can only hope that the words she sings are from her own heart, and if they are, the deepest shadows of my soul have been made brighter by the completeness of Amy's beauty, and I'd know without question that I've been shown the beauty of a soul bleeding it's message of love and sorrow. Chiseling it's desperate cry on the infinite wall of time.

  • @user-ft7jb7rz6z
    @user-ft7jb7rz6z 2 роки тому +26

    the first part is very impressive. the darkness, the rain, she sitting alone facing again a torment that has never left her; the loneliness, the need for an answer, the tragedy. she is reliving the event from the point of view of her trauma and for this reason the atmosphere is very tragic.
    It feels like I can get inside her head and relive her traumas and her torments.
    what has always linked me to this woman from the beginning is a mysterious sense of suffering that pervades her songs. at first it was not clear: all her songs are pervaded by an aura of mystery. probably because she was young, her suffering looked different. insecure, fragile, confused. now she is stronger, more determined and confident. she is stronger and can talk about it, but I think that the more time passes, the more her trauma becomes stronger, because she constantly relives it in her mind, in an ever more lucid way. as if she didn't want to forget. she doesn't want to forget!
    the death of her sister, more than painful, was traumatizing. I think it left a very deep mark. she was a child, she experienced the event in a tragic way. and we don't know what happened next, if her parents helped her deal with it. a difficult past. I hope she can heal. I pray for her!

    I have been listening to evanescence ever since they came out, I connect with her music in ways that I cannot always explain. I have used her music to perform a mild exorcist on myself, also in the past couple years I have went through a huge exorcism where I ended up in darkness as the light came to me as I kept walking towards the light, the tunnel became more prominent. Then once through the white tunnel I came to. I owe my thanks to amy lee and her wonderful voice, she herself soothes my soul and lifts me to heights that I cannot even explain. Thank you for being the goddess of love to me. My Aphrodite.

      Jonathan Contreras that's the first thing I thought and makes sense to me... When she holds the little girl is like her embracing and comforting her damaged inner child which I believe we all have in some sort of way

    This is easily the best song in Evanescence's career, and I've listened to every single one of their songs and covers from the start of their catalogue to the present day. I even have their demo cassette tape released with the TBT special edition. I felt like Amy was right there with me in spirit, and after meeting her twice, I wouldn't be surprised if she was. I have such an emotional bond and connection with her music as it has really helped me through trauma in life.

    This is amazing. From my perspective this little girl lost someone to suicide. I believe that Amy speaks for her, this video illustrates what's happening inside the girl's brain that's why it is so psychedelic due to the fact that her little brain can't get why someone would do such thing . This is pure art. Thanks evanescence for this masterpiece .
    Stay strong everybody 🌠

      I think so too. That or the girl just lost someone and Amy can see she's at her last. Makes an attempt to pull her out of it, telling her not to surrender, someone's here and that she's irreplaceable.

    • @punxie89
      @punxie89 5 років тому +16

      It's more about not giving in to depression and killing yourself ("don't you dare surrender, don't you leave me here without you", "we are alive", etc) if they die she could never replace them because they're unique

    • @christinasings4395
      @christinasings4395 5 років тому +4

      likeabunnie yes and also overcoming our dark pasts and loses of loved ones even coming to terms with our own inner demons whatever they may be. I do feel the end is showing her embracing her own child or inner child (past) coming to terms and accepting that it is now part of her life and she has accepted its over now and moved on ....

      It’s good to change yourself for the better and progress and work on your flaws, vices etc. and remember no ones perfect. You don’t have to be perfect, but just keep trying . Never surrender . Don’t let the darkness consume you and take over life.
