That's what I love about this channel is to see all the different life stages that people go trough. I'm at middle-age adults stage. Lost both of my parents in 2022 at the age of 30. I get it now.
Ben Moody, the blond guy, wrote this inspired by the loss of his grandfather. Amy sang it using the loss of her sister as a child. "Hello" off the same album is all about her sister but there aren't many videos for that song.
Amy actually rewritten the entire 8 bar section just before the drums kick in, Ben's 8 bar section was ok but Amy massively improved that section imo She also removed a line from the first verse, that I agree was maybe a bit unnecessary She also turned Ben's piano chords to the melody you hear now You can hear Ben's original version by UA-cam searching My immortal the original version ✌️
This song resonates with so many people, it’s about losing someone close. The video is full of symbolism. She has died- that’s why she’s bandaged up, never touches the ground, and never in a scene with the guy. The guy is in a suit (as if he’s come from a funeral). The lyrics are in his perspective, but she’s singing them. I would recommend this whole album. When it came out in 2003, it didn’t come out of my CD player for at least 6 months! Every track is a hit.
Amy Lee has one of the most beautiful and powerful voices in rock music. She's one of the finest singer/songwriter/performer/storytellers around. The band Evanescence has been around for about 20 years or so and they have a long list of great rock anthems. I'd encourage anyone who doesn't know the band too well to check out her earlier tracks 'Bring Me To Life' or maybe 'Going Under'. The list is almost endless. 🙋♂
In symphonic metal there are not many bands that can hold their ground against Evanescence. Nightwish with Floor is one of them. This song? One of the best rock ballads ever!
Hi... Try ,, Null positiv - wo Rauch ist, ist auch Feuer "(no love song, about war)... Or :,, Null positiv - Independenz" ".. This Band is german, with a strong female voice.. Enjoy. 🎸
@@newgrl Ben wrote it about his grand father dying after he spent years taking care of him in his old age So from Ben's point of view, I don't think the video means anything at all... The song will always be about his grand father for him
@@daz97 Not Ben... Ben. The character that Ben is playing in this video. In order for the video to make more sense, meaning Amy is a ghost, then you kind of have to listen to the lyrics as if they're from Ben's point of view. In this video Amy's character is dead. She's not hanging on to any memories. Ben's character is.
I've been listening to Evanescence since their debut and their songs have always resonated with me, it wasn't until years later that I found out that I share a birthday with the lead singer Amy Lee
All 3 of u ladies are beautiful but I just wanna zero in on the grandma for a sec. Her beauty, youth, and softness reminds me of Meryl Streep. Gets finer with age and u can feel her soft warmth through the screen. God bless u all. I love your reactions.
When this album first came out I took my Daughters to see Evanescence in Concert. Amy Lee sung this song while playing the piano. It was simply beautiful and so was She.
Yeah this song still hits! I like metal (and lots of other stuff). And when metal bands go 'soft' oftentimes something special happens. Tips to react to : Elegeion - Scars Alcest - Délivrance Antimatter - The weight of the world Saturnus - A lonely passage Hanging garden - Skeleton lake No clear mind - When you're not here Swallow the sun - Cathedral walls (you will again see current Nightwish' drummer.....the man has played on great records) Meadow island - Friends Blackfield - Hello Devin townsend - Deadhead Sirenia - In Sumerian haze
In fact the best ballads are written by rock and metal bands. Nothing Else Matters from Metallica or My December by Linkin Park are two of my favourites.
@@albertwayne2323 Yeah that list could be endless.....but lots of other genre ballads/lovesongs that are great too. A few great rock ballads : Stuart Smith's Heaven and earth - I don't know what love is Whitesnake - Is this love Slaughter - Fly to the angels Steelheart - She's gone Skid row - I remember you. Heart - Aline.
My last regular girlfriend was a go-getter who did "gig jobs" for a living loooong before Uber and Door Dash. She was Irish-American, pale, a redhead, had an infectious laugh, and she could make you laugh when she told the stories of the horrible things that happened to her in her life, but she also was an amazing singer. She dressed as Ariel from The Little Mermaid and performed at kid's parties, she'd work waitress at high end large scale dinner parties (usually for Holidays,) she cleaned houses and businesses, and she sang backup on several locally recorded songs. But this song, THIS song, was her all time favorite and she only sang it in front of people on very special occasions, but I was blessed to have her sing it to me many, many times. She passed away suddenly in her sleep in 2019, 2 months shy of her 36th birthday. I have dated, but haven't had a "steady girlfriend" since her passing. I think of her every day. This was our song. Thank you for sharing your reaction to this. ~Be Blessed
The beautiful Amy Lee, awesome song Great reaction and LuLu would not look like a dead fish but more like a pretty swan, great reaction ladies keep on rocking 🤟
Amy Lee sings like an angel. You are right. For a great fun video check out Amy singing Bring Me Back to Life with the Waggaki Band. A folk rock band from Japan that uses a lot of traditional instruments. I think you would get a kick out of that 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Such a great voice and always has great videos. Me along with so many other had or have a big crush on her. Her eyes are just so captivating in contrast of her dark hair and fair complexion. During covid she put on a couple home concerts just her and her keyboard, and explained taking time off to have her son. I still throw on a live concert of hers or a Amy Lee YT playlist from time to time. anyways good day cioa for now
Greetings beautiful family, it's a pleasure to see you together and enjoy the reactions. I congratulate you and wish you success from Medellin, Colombia. ❤
My son Michael passed away on November 19 , 2012 I had this song play at his celebration of life service!! One of the most beautiful and saddest songs ever!
I see quite many reactors react to Evanescence but not a lot of them reacts to their song "Lithium" In my opinion the best, most powerful, sad, deep and most hauntingly beautiful song ever made by a rock band. 23 by The Warning might be up there but other than those 2 i dont know any songs which can hit the feels so hard on me than they do. And i am soon to be 49 years old and i cry every time i hear those 2 songs lol ;) I´d say that you guys need Lithium in your life :D
Their debut album 2003, "Fallen"! (Angel?) Their original guitarist Ben Moody wrote the lyrics, when he was about 15, dedicated to his grandfather, he's playing the piano and walking the streets of Barcelona. Used in the movie Daredevil. The video shows Amy never touching the ground, as a metaphor for being dead and unable to connect with the physical world. Did you notice the children, ignoring her? This connects with the theme of the song, which is obviously about the inability to reach out to a loved one that has gone.
The symbolism in this video is so telling…I heard this from another reaction which I never thought of until watching it so many times…in the video, (cause the writing process she & he did when they were young teenagers may have different meaning to them), but in the video, she is always in white (symbolizing an angel), and he is dressed in black (symbolizing a death). Another form of symbolism is the fact she never touches the ground, she is always perched up high on a tree, fountain, or a rooftop which symbolizes she is a spirit/angel. It feels like she cannot move on to the afterlife because she’s still earthbound by their love…it’s all heartbreaking…this song kills me every time I hear it.
Evanescence was formed in the 90's in Arkansas by Amy Lee (vocals) and Ben Moody (guitar) when they were teenagers and they were a couple as well... However, their breakup was difficult. After Evanescence became huge in 2003, Lee and Moody were not a couple and publicly said that they were still close friends ... But as Evanescence toured into 2004, Ben Moody abruptly quit the band and Amy Lee was upset w/ the move... Evanescence hired guitarist Terry Balsamo for the tour and he did the next Evanescence album 'The Open Door' (2006) The difficult truth emerged years later... Ben Moody suffered from bipolar disorder and his relationship w/ Amy Lee had been physically abusive w/ drugs being involved... It is speculated that in a moment of clarity, Moody realized the damage he had inflicted on Amy Lee and wrote the song 'My immortal' as an apology to the singer. Amy Lee also made allegations of sexual misconduct against their then-manager Dennis Rider... Years later, he said that he was 'unhappy' and had to leave so that Evanescence could carry on w/ Amy Lee as the band leader... Moody released 1 album as We Are the Fallen in 2010 ('Tear the world down') w/ singer Carly Smithson and former Evanescence members... but has not done anything else since... Amy Lee has since put a solid Evanescence line-up w/ Will Hunt (drums), Troy McLawhorn (guitar), Tim McCord (bass... now on guitar) and Emma Anzai (bass, also member of Sick Puppies)
In this video Amy Lee is a spirit of someone who's passed but it still lingering. That's why you see her in white up in trees, on rooftops, on the fountain, etc. You never see her on the ground.
Great job with your reaction and thoughts on My Immortal from Evanescence . I can definitely see the resemblance of 3 ladies who were in this video You All look incredible and very beautiful and unique in your own way.
A song you may really like from them is the song Lost In Paradise that she performed live on piano called the session. The version is on the UA-cam channel amprocktv. Have a wonderful rest of your week!
When you can stand this, could you stand "Wrong Side Of Heaven" from Five Finger Death Punch? I love your reaction, came here for the Nightwish ones 😀 Good day everyone!
❤❤❤KATHY, LULU E DONNA.... É IMPOSSÍVEL OUVIR... COM CALMA 😇😇😇😇.... SEM DELEITE, SEM PRAZER!!! MÚSICA PARA A ALMA 💜💚❤️... ENVOLVE, FASCINA.... QUE ESSÊNCIA DE VOZ ❤..... FECHA OS OLHOS...... ❤E VOA.. ❤❤❤.. PARABÉNS ESSA MÚSICA TRAZ MUITA EMOÇÃO...... MUITO BONITA ❤❤❤❤
Even in black and white,Amys eyes are still one of the prettiest ones i think i have ever seen. I understand why so many is crushing on her. I believe this video was done before the one i requested for you (My Heart Is Broken),as this band went through a massive change around in members at one point. The guy playing the piano and being pretty much Amys "counter part" in the video,is her longtime friend Ben Moody. If im not mistaken,him and Amy even at one point had a thing for eachother. But i know him as the one that helped her write music,produce songs,he is a multi instrumentalist and even an actor. At one point there was a breakup in theyr close friendship sadly,and thats why he is no longer part of Evanescence. The guy with the dreads you noticed right away in "My Heart Is Broken",is Terry Philip Balsamo II. He is very fond of Michael Myers from the Halloween franchise,wich he also shows when he is playing live. Oh,and during her time in Evanescence,even Amy Lee has had dreads. Aaawww Lulu,i was curious about the part with 2 immortal people,and then you left us hanging. Im sure you had a good story going there,dont ever doubt yourself. (Sadly today "dreadlocks Terry" is also a part of past members in Evanescence,he has also played in the band Cold) Want to see more of Terry rocking out with Amy (same lineup as in My Heart Is Broken) And the song is really different from anything you have heard so far: Evanescence - What You Want. It is said that when Ben Moody suddenly left because of "artistic differences",Amy Lee invited Terry Balsamo in as Bens replacement. Terry accepted and he was by Amys side from 2003 all the way to 2015. 5:06 Kathys face is like "Where are you going with this,Lulu?" Its a beautiful story on how Amy and Ben met though,through a summer camp in 1994. They quickly became close friends and discovered theyr common passion wich was music. They both founded Evanescence together and complimented eachother with song writing,vocals (as Ben is a singer too) and alot more. Its sad that things didnt work out anymore between the 2,because they had something special going on. I dont think they were ever a couple,but theyr friendship was super strong,so im sure My Heart Is Broken wich Amy did with Terry,also came to life because of the loss of her close friendship with Ben. (As well as being Amy expressing emotions over a past breakup)
It’s a beautiful song. It is however, about a very tragic thing. The loss of a child. In Amy Lee’s situation. It’s about her loss of a younger sibling. In my personal situation. It’s reminds me of the loss of my niece. You never get over that kind of loss. It stays with you forever. Haunts you. Even though you wish it would go away. It’s your or “My Immortal “ pain. Watch the video again after you have read this. Certain things will suddenly make sense. “And though you’re still with me. I’ve been alone along”.
Many Americans only have Evanescence or Metallica as a reference for metal so it's great that you are listening to many European bands. Yes, Amy is a very good singer.
Anyone that wonders how deeply men feel should know that these lyrics are Ben's -- except the 2-line bridge ("I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone...") that Amy inserted. Love and loss cuts us all.
a case of: know your classics. how could one not heard of this,it has 1B views (almost),been on the radio almost non stop 20 yars ago. hence im a sucker for ballads. and this is one of the best writen songs ever produced i think. can have a spot to the most iconic songs in history. though evanescence is dark. god knows why i was allowed to listen to this dark music :D loved it then,still love it 20 years later. gorgious vid. they dont make them anymore like this where you see a propper face instead of snapshots like in going under. tho the video is stunning,audiowise it doesent do it fully justice in comparison to live versions of it. propper live not the dvd version since thats not propper live. something down the line of the rock am ring versions
For the "record": "The lyrics of the song refer to a spirit that haunts the memory of a grieving loved one. Similar to several other songs written by [Ben] Moody, the lyrics of the song are based on a short story he had previously written. According to Lee, it was "Ben [Moody]'s song." Moody said that the song talks about "a spirit staying with you after its death and haunting you until you actually wish that the spirit were gone because it won't leave you alone." He also stated in the booklet of Fallen that he dedicated the song to his grandfather, Bill Holcomb. In "My Immortal", Lee expresses her feelings through the line, "Though you're still with me / I've been alone all along.A writer for IGN said that "'My Immortal' is a song of pain and despair caused by the loss of a family member or very close friend and how it drove her [Lee] to the edge of insanity." (source is wikipedia[dot]org) RogerC 2/15/24
Ladies. You have something unique here and it's great. Each of you react and emote perfectly across your "3 generations." Watching your facial expressions I can actually see the way you are viewing the same materail through different eyes and experiences. It comes across as individually sincere while at the same time collectively connected and warm. As for this video, Amy is amazing! Try her on a song she does called "Broken" with a band called "Seether" featuring Amy Lee. I think you'll like it a lot.
In the video, Amy Lee never actually touches the ground so people think she is meant to be representing a spirit. Ben Moody I think is meant to represent someone grieving.
Hi.. Greedings from Germany.. So try.. "Null positiv - wo Rauch ist, ist auch Feuer" (strong female voice,, but, s Not a love song.. About war.. It come up again since Ukraine-war. here in Europe..,, *Enjoy,, without understanding lyrics
I would recommend you "Lithium" for Evanescence. It shows more of the power Amy can push out of her voice. Its a really beautiful song. Also If you search for something new, i highly recommend Aurora and Wadruna "Helvegen". Absolut incredible Live performance form Norway. The song is sung in Norwegian language and old norse, so i suggest with subtitles. This performance just blow you away. have fun
The youngest doesn’t get it yet, the middle is living it, the mom has healed from it
That's what I love about this channel is to see all the different life stages that people go trough. I'm at middle-age adults stage. Lost both of my parents in 2022 at the age of 30. I get it now.

Wow. That is beautifully put.
truth
Such a cute reaction to this video lol
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.
yes 100%
100% right, And i say ... who does not moved from this song, miss a soul
It's her voice. It hits right to your soul
Ben Moody, the blond guy, wrote this inspired by the loss of his grandfather. Amy sang it using the loss of her sister as a child. "Hello" off the same album is all about her sister but there aren't many videos for that song.
"Hello" is such a great song!
Amy actually rewritten the entire 8 bar section just before the drums kick in, Ben's 8 bar section was ok but Amy massively improved that section imo
She also removed a line from the first verse, that I agree was maybe a bit unnecessary
She also turned Ben's piano chords to the melody you hear now
You can hear Ben's original version by UA-cam searching
My immortal the original version ✌️

This song, if you have suffered loss, be it a loved one or relationship, will grab you by the heart and squeeze tears from you.
She’s actually a ghost in this video, her feet never touch the ground
That's my line!😄😄
I was just going to say that too
And you have to think of the song lyrics from Ben's point of view.
@@newgrl
Ben wrote it about his grand father dying after he spent years taking care of him in his old age
So from Ben's point of view, I don't think the video means anything at all...
The song will always be about his grand father for him
@@daz97 Not Ben... Ben. The character that Ben is playing in this video.

My daughter got me into this band 20 years ago with Amy Lee's wonderful voice. Love it when the guitar comes in at the end.
I saw them live in concert last Sept and hearing this song live was unbelievable. I sobbed through most of it. Such an incredible experience.
Amy's voice is so iconic and unmistakable! Beautiful and eerie at the same time!
Also if you don't feel this song then be thankful. Thankful that you've clearly lived a life without loss and caring for someone through a struggle. 😊
An ethereal song by an artist with the voice of an angel.
This was used, in fact most of their songs, in the movie Daredevil (2003) with Ben Affleck, Colin Farrell & Jennifer Garner
The ability to seamlessly transition from soft to hard rock and not get lost in the instruments, impressive
Amy Lee has a great voice. One of my favorites. Glad you found it.
I've been listening to Evanescence since their debut and their songs have always resonated with me, it wasn't until years later that I found out that I share a birthday with the lead singer Amy Lee

Wow, thank you
Love Evanescence Amy has one of the most beautiful voices
Its about a family member passing and they were always immortal to her. Its very powerful if you listen toyrics and not watch the video
Loved the focus and intensity in your faces. THAT was a reaction!
Beautiful reaction, ladies.
Watch it again understanding that She is the ghost.
This song was written for sister who passed away
Beautiful song! I'm surprised that they can mix her classical voice with the rock and roll band sound! Thanks again ladies!
Beautiful song,
Beautiful Any Lee,
Beautiful video
Perfect
When this album first came out I took my Daughters to see Evanescence in Concert. Amy Lee sung this song while playing the piano. It was simply beautiful and so was She.
Yeah this song still hits!
I like metal (and lots of other stuff). And when metal bands go 'soft' oftentimes something special happens.
Tips to react to :
Elegeion - Scars
Alcest - Délivrance
Antimatter - The weight of the world
Saturnus - A lonely passage
Hanging garden - Skeleton lake
No clear mind - When you're not here
Swallow the sun - Cathedral walls (you will again see current Nightwish' drummer.....the man has played on great records)
Meadow island - Friends
Blackfield - Hello
Devin townsend - Deadhead
Sirenia - In Sumerian haze
In fact the best ballads are written by rock and metal bands. Nothing Else Matters from Metallica or My December by Linkin Park are two of my favourites.
@@albertwayne2323 Yeah that list could be endless.....but lots of other genre ballads/lovesongs that are great too.
A few great rock ballads :
Stuart Smith's Heaven and earth - I don't know what love is
Whitesnake - Is this love
Slaughter - Fly to the angels
Steelheart - She's gone Skid row - I remember you.
Heart - Aline.

I do it short! It is a Song about the Loss of a Loved one! It was Played in the Burial of my Mom!
I lost my precious son in 2017, and brings tears to my eyes every time
I am so sorry for such an unimaginable loss. ❤ hugs
So so sorry hope God guides u in this hard process of grief
This was one of my wife's favorite songs. She passed away in 2022 at the age of 46. Our song together was Edwin McCain's "I Could Not Ask For More"
I am sorry for your loss.
Thank you
@@rickybranch4547me too sorry brother 🙏🙏
Amy Lee sings like an angel. You are right. For a great fun video check out Amy singing Bring Me Back to Life with the Waggaki Band. A folk rock band from Japan that uses a lot of traditional instruments. I think you would get a kick out of that 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I second that! A very cool twist to a iconic song! Yuko and Amy blend so well!
Lulu cracks me up to no end, you are all doing a good job here hahaha But the dead fish comment had me rolling hahaha cherish your kids.
Ive always loved this song. Gives me goosebumps & brings back plenty of memories. Not heard it for a while. Thank you Guys. Welcome back Lulu.👍
Her voice is liquid gold 😊 Yay the rock ending, they also did a piano version at the end, but you can’t beat the heavier ending. Great reaction

Their debut album 2003, "Fallen"! (Angel?)

Used in the movie Daredevil.
The video shows Amy never touching the ground,
as a metaphor for being dead and unable to connect with the physical world.

This connects with the theme of the song,
which is obviously about the inability to reach out to a loved one that has gone.
no love sees our hearts. except in our eyes. thanks.

Amy Lee. No one has looked more beautiful on camera ever than in this video
This song is awesome it's A really beautiful song this song was out wen I was in highschool during the 200 era
Wow! You are really old! 200AD, or BC? :)
In this video Amy Lee is a spirit of someone who's passed but it still lingering. That's why you see her in white up in trees, on rooftops, on the fountain, etc. You never see her on the ground.
Their entire debut studio album "Fallen" is brilliant. I would highly recommend the songs "Going Under" & "Everybody's Fool", also from "Fallen".

I can't stand neither. Both make me cry
3 generations is so awesome and clever with this music. Keep it up please
Shes an angel ❤
All of us can relate! Pain and heartbreak is difficult. Love all the reactions. Stay safe🤘

The guy playing the piano and being pretty much Amys "counter part" in the video,is her longtime friend Ben Moody. If im not mistaken,him and Amy even at one point had a thing for eachother. But i know him as the one that helped her write music,produce songs,he is a multi instrumentalist and even an actor.
At one point there was a breakup in theyr close friendship sadly,and thats why he is no longer part of Evanescence. The guy with the dreads you noticed right away in "My Heart Is Broken",is Terry Philip Balsamo II. He is very fond of Michael Myers from the Halloween franchise,wich he also shows when he is playing live.
Oh,and during her time in Evanescence,even Amy Lee has had dreads.
Aaawww Lulu,i was curious about the part with 2 immortal people,and then you left us hanging. Im sure you had a good story going there,dont ever doubt yourself.
(Sadly today "dreadlocks Terry" is also a part of past members in Evanescence,he has also played in the band Cold)
Want to see more of Terry rocking out with Amy (same lineup as in My Heart Is Broken) And the song is really different from anything you have heard so far: Evanescence - What You Want.
It is said that when Ben Moody suddenly left because of "artistic differences",Amy Lee invited Terry Balsamo in as Bens replacement. Terry accepted and he was by Amys side from 2003 all the way to 2015.
5:06 Kathys face is like "Where are you going with this,Lulu?"
Its a beautiful story on how Amy and Ben met though,through a summer camp in 1994. They quickly became close friends and discovered theyr common passion wich was music.
They both founded Evanescence together and complimented eachother with song writing,vocals (as Ben is a singer too) and alot more.
Its sad that things didnt work out anymore between the 2,because they had something special going on. I dont think they were ever a couple,but theyr friendship was super strong,so im sure My Heart Is Broken wich Amy did with Terry,also came to life because of the loss of her close friendship with Ben. (As well as being Amy expressing emotions over a past breakup)
Notice that her feet never touched the ground,she's a spirit
I remember this song,, when im elementary 2009🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Kathy! Excellent choice!
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
i love how grandma got it instantly and rest is like -_-
This song would definitely fit a pair of immortals. It also fits us, sometimes.
It’s a beautiful song.
It is however, about a very tragic thing.
The loss of a child. In Amy Lee’s situation. It’s about her loss of a younger sibling.
In my personal situation. It’s reminds me of the loss of my niece.
You never get over that kind of loss. It stays with you forever.
Haunts you. Even though you wish it would go away.
It’s your or “My Immortal “ pain.
Watch the video again after you have read this.
Certain things will suddenly make sense.
“And though you’re still with me. I’ve been alone along”.
love this song🙂
Halestorm - Break In (feat. Amy Lee) These two are a perfect duet. Give it a listen.
Beautiful song. Amy Lee and the pianist Ben Moody wrote this when they were 15 years old. 😊
I had to hop in to see if which one would crack 1st. lol
Kathy was almost there. Not many can make it through w/out tearing up. 👍
NO WAY! Me and my sisters are named KATHY, LOU,AND DONNA. LOVE THE ACCENTS!
Awesome
This was the video. You need to listen to this woman sing live.
I love seeing this generational reaction
East TN here, y’all are amazing!!! So funny. Grow!
Thank you
Many Americans only have Evanescence or Metallica as a reference for metal so it's great that you are listening to many European bands. Yes, Amy is a very good singer.
Her name's Amy Lee.
You are listening to one of the best voices in rock in the 90s and 00s. Amy Lee is amazing.
Anyone that wonders how deeply men feel should know that these lyrics are Ben's -- except the 2-line bridge ("I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone...") that Amy inserted. Love and loss cuts us all.
Lulu was explaining it perfectly then she stopped but she nailed it
This song always gives me so much of “Thousand Years” vibes
a case of: know your classics. how could one not heard of this,it has 1B views (almost),been on the radio almost non stop 20 yars ago. hence im a sucker for ballads. and this is one of the best writen songs ever produced i think. can have a spot to the most iconic songs in history. though evanescence is dark. god knows why i was allowed to listen to this dark music :D loved it then,still love it 20 years later. gorgious vid. they dont make them anymore like this where you see a propper face instead of snapshots like in going under. tho the video is stunning,audiowise it doesent do it fully justice in comparison to live versions of it. propper live not the dvd version since thats not propper live. something down the line of the rock am ring versions
Amy is fantastic. My favourite by Evanescence is Going Under. This one tugs at the heart with personal feelings for me. I miss my Betty so much.
Video was filmed in my city : Barcelona
Epic song, but there are no bad songs in the album this song belongs to 🤘😊👌
Proposal for the next Evanescence song: "My last breath" is good one too 🙂
For the "record": "The lyrics of the song refer to a spirit that haunts the memory of a grieving loved one. Similar to several other songs written by [Ben] Moody, the lyrics of the song are based on a short story he had previously written. According to Lee, it was "Ben [Moody]'s song." Moody said that the song talks about "a spirit staying with you after its death and haunting you until you actually wish that the spirit were gone because it won't leave you alone." He also stated in the booklet of Fallen that he dedicated the song to his grandfather, Bill Holcomb. In "My Immortal", Lee expresses her feelings through the line, "Though you're still with me / I've been alone all along.A writer for IGN said that "'My Immortal' is a song of pain and despair caused by the loss of a family member or very close friend and how it drove her [Lee] to the edge of insanity."

Hi, Girls. This is a great song and it makes me feel happy.
Such a great song ❤
Ladies. You have something unique here and it's great. Each of you react and emote perfectly across your "3 generations." Watching your facial expressions I can actually see the way you are viewing the same materail through different eyes and experiences. It comes across as individually sincere while at the same time collectively connected and warm.
As for this video, Amy is amazing! Try her on a song she does called "Broken" with a band called "Seether" featuring Amy Lee. I think you'll like it a lot.
Thank you so much!!
Ladies please do check out Corvyx's version of this! it will blow your mind. He sings in the original key.
In the video, Amy Lee never actually touches the ground so people think she is meant to be representing a spirit. Ben Moody I think is meant to represent someone grieving.
The most beautiful sad song to me.
Amy Lee is beautiful.
An inmortal masterpiece.
Hi.. Greedings from Germany..
So try..
"Null positiv - wo Rauch ist, ist auch Feuer" (strong female voice,, but, s Not a love song.. About war.. It come up again since Ukraine-war. here in Europe..,, *Enjoy,, without understanding lyrics
Amy lee is the reason why evanescence was my band she can sing her ass off
Cool thing is her feet never touches the ground in the video she's always elevated on something, is she a ghost?, what does it mean.
Yes. She's singing making it sound like she lost someone. She is actually the one that died though.
Have you noticed they don't introduce people on the Radio anymore? You're just expected to know who it is? Lol
Lyrically, I always thought this song was about a parent mourning the loss of a child.
I would recommend you "Lithium" for Evanescence. It shows more of the power Amy can push out of her voice. Its a really beautiful song.
Also If you search for something new, i highly recommend Aurora and Wadruna "Helvegen". Absolut incredible Live performance form Norway. The song is sung in Norwegian language and old norse, so i suggest with subtitles. This performance just blow you away.
have fun
trés belle chanson,avec une douce voix
