22 years ago I heard this for the first time. Still gives me chills now. Got me through some of the toughest times of my life, I listen now and again to remind myself how far I’ve come.
I think this woman literally saved my life. I mean her music brought me out of rough patches and really dark places. this song brings back immense memories. I will always love Amy but this Era of music was her absolute best.
I believe this song literally save my life the first time I heard it I was about to kill myself. I came back to it years later to draw the stength I need to face a difficult trial in my life with courage and with god the only thing I truly have at the end of the day is Him.
Sophia Belanger and God is all you need ❤️ He is more than enough and loves you so much that it’s incomprehensible. Praying that you always seek Him and look to Him whatever is going on in your life and never give up
Amy Lee was basically my Teenagehood, & I wish they would revisit their 'Origin' sounds for one session, they are very calming & easy listing. I am also pleased to say my daughter (who I name after Amy Lee herself) is now a big Amy Lee fan as well!
For me this song is about a broken and traumatized person who's been hurt and abandoned so many times that they're afraid to love or give themselves to their lover... but after a while they're tired of fighting them and their love and finally want to just give in and accept it and let their lover give them the love they so desperately crave. They have such a low self esteem that they see their lover as the only thing good about themself.
+Rokatsu Ryuzaki In my case i think about it as someone who is in love with other who doesn't know or doesn't love her. So despite the efforts she can't "walk away from him" beacose she loves him so much.
+Dora Delic i feel more this song is about God (i fall into your abounding grace) and considering Amy Lee is Christian is highly possible that i'm right
Same. (25 now) This is the first song I ever learned on the guitar. It's still my go-to song to play when I'm in a rough mood and I need to get it out.
Love this song since 2004, when im still single.. Now im 35 years old father, with two beautiful kids and sweet wife.. Both of my kids born in October.. This song really means a lot to me.. 25/10/2017 5:11 a.m.
In reality, I don't want to be one of those people that are like "Music saved my life".... but in actuality, Evanescence did in fact stop me from my suicidal thoughts and depressive moods. Amy Lee quite literally DID save my life. Not only that, I love her voice and the entire band. They are such an inspiration to many people, and hopefully will be for many future years to come.
I've always thought of this song to be about someone who've denied love in their life, never letting anyone close. Then someone finally breaks through the wall they've built around him-/herself and they just release all the emotions they've been building up inside them, all at once. Realising that they can't lie to themselves anymore and just go with it all. Personally I think that sounds better than all this god crap everyone else is writing about... but hey! that's just me, everyone can interpret a song differently.
If you might indulge me without Hate... I think This is about our Abba Father.... But what if Ive fallen too far for His Abounding Grace... And Many other Scriptural References Both Canonized, and Apocryphal... It is Absolutely how to Approach The Father...
ellocoexcalibur You can fall into the grace of a person. Especially if you fall in love, "I fall into your abounding grace" I interpret like: you've never ever let anyone close. But then someone comes along and gets through to you, you feel so left out and don't know how to handle it. All you can do is to fall into that persons grace.
I listened to this song when I was at school. I'm 31 now n just stumbled across it. I've come to realise I need these guys songs now more than ever. I feel every one of their lyrics and her voice gives me goosebumps ❤ it's nice just to zone out and feel some peace
For me personally, this song really desribes my relationship with God. There are times when i want other things more than i want Him. But in the end He always pulls me back to Him and makes me realize that He's all i truly have.
I wish I could think like you, honestly... I get caught up in my own problems way too much, and I forget the big picture so easily... I just hope God will forgive me... :3
Hi, i'm sorry i almost never check my youtube notifications.. It's ok, everybody's like that sometimes :) And, as far as forgiveness is concerned, Jesus had paid for the debts of our sins when He died on the cross :)
Yes, because when God is the last thing we have, we realize that He is the only thing that we need! Without Him nothing makes sense, we live our lives without any purpose or direction.
Amy Lee has such a magical and soothing voice, she has helped me through some really dark times. Not just Amy Lee though, the band is amazing. They also make the songs complete.
Thank you Amy ❤️ for bringing me close to God,I don't know how should I thank you,may The Lord Jesus Bless u...thank u a billion times for this song u r an angel...n everyone who would be reading this msg should thank Amy and our savior Jesus Christ 🙏 there's still time so repent and pray... and know Jesus Christ is coming... praise be unto the Lord and Heavenly Father..Amen
I think this song is about loving someone you know isn't good for you, but finding that love is too strong for you to walk away, even though you hurt, and you know it won't stop. I think we've all been there.
I interpret it as about loving someone too good for you, and you for a while being misdirected and later realize only they can save you. But now you say that it makes sense as well.
With music, you can interpret it however you choose. You can relate it to a something or someone in your life, and find your own meaning for the lyrics. So quit fighting in the comments about what Amy intended the lyrics to be about (and whether or not they're about religion), and think about how you personally relate to the lyrics, whether that be about a lover, friend, religion, or whatever.
Honestly its all about what the listener gets out of it. For those of us who are Christians especially young Christians we can relate the lyrics to our own struggles with our faith trying to run from it and push God away but then something dramatic happened to change that and brought us into a closer love of God and our faith. For someone else the lyrics can mean something totally different. When I listen to this song I picture myself setting in one of the pews after just receiving the Sacrament of Confession with tears in my eyes gazing up at the crucifix above the altar and pouring my heart out to God and telling him how sorry I am and how much he means to me and telling Him i'm going to try and do better because he is my only hope, my only peace, my only joy, my only strength my only love. And I personally feel his fatherly love and forgiveness
+allison mena Well, only Amy Lee knows the true meaning of the song. Us listeners just perceive the meaning of the song about God, love, a heartbreak, or other things. Jut thought I'd say that. But I agree, I find it to be a very pretty song about God, too.
I am Goth and I don't know why you put " " in front of the word. Evanescence is a RomantiGoth rock band that's the genre of music they play Just like the Cockatoo Twins and Rasputina. Being Goth doesn't make it non-Christian on the contrary a good majority of Goth music has songs about God
Carl Williams I completely agree. Being Goth doesn't automatically decide your religious perspectives. Anyone can be a Christian, just as anyone can be Jewish, Muslim, or Atheist.
Carl Williams To be honest, it probably would. It's pathetic that so many people stereotype things like this. They automatically assume odd or bad things are associated with Goths, Emos, scene kids, and many other genres and such like that. Not many of them even think logically when it comes down to their thoughts on this. Two of my closest friends are Goths. Both are very religious Christians, but everyone says bad things about them behind their backs, saying that they're probably satan worshipers. The lengths people will go to to prove a false point is honestly disappointing.
So sorry for your loss,i can understand you bcause i lost mine 2 years ago,her absence still feels unreal. Music can help trying to mend our broken pieces,remember she's always with you🥰
You should listen to all of their songs, they're truely wonderful and touching, if you think this goes right into your soul, try listening to My Immortal:)
Alexander Austin Or Hello. That song is like someone stuck a knife into your soul rather than going straight to it in a gentle manner. Very emotional and sad.
This song reminds me of all the times that I've walked away from God just to find myself returning to Him again because in the end He is my everything.
Yes, because when God is the last thing we have, we realize that He is the only thing that we need! Without Him nothing makes sense, we live our lives without any purpose or direction. Don't give up! Fight for the salvation of your soul! Everything in this world will pass, so build eternal things! And the only way to God and the eternal life, is Jesus ♥
I was alone for most time of my life, I even hadn't any friend for some years. Those times teached me about solitude and showed me that I really need to walk forward alone. Even though, I just feel like a failure in most of what I've done, and all that pain falls down on me and knock me out at the moments when I really need to be strong. There are some words of help that can't be said, not only because there's no one to hear, but also cause only ourselves can take our own hands and walk fowards our dreams, which perhaps can be realized. That's just up to us, they say. "no one will ever como to save you" This song says what I just can't say, and that's one of my favorite things in Evanescence songs. They are my comfort when anything is. I'm really sorry for my bad english
jwhitloctombraider yes, only a person who has been in a close relationship with God long enough knows His forgiveness and Mercy. I can perfectly understand how she describes that straying from Him was cutting her so deep. About how she couldn’t ignore Him because once you know Him you’re never the same again. About how He is her only strength, hope, love and how His Grace is abounding. Keep persevering my friend in Christ!! This song is special to me for the same reason. Like the Scriptures say you’re not suffering alone. & for anyone else on here who feel like the prodigal Son, He is waiting for you with open arms.
Sad my friend. How do you unbelieve? Time spent in His presence should not be undone. You may have been a rock, letting the water of Gods Spirit and Word flow over never pentatrating the soul when the idea is to become a sponge taking in all of whom He is! Once you truly know Him, you will never want to be out of His presence or will. I will pray for you!
I feel this song powerful. I cry when I hear it. I feel this way about someone that I can’t be with. Because I married a man who has never had any time for me in 26 years. And the guy I have thease feelings for likes me a lot. I wish I could have known this guy before the jerk I married.
I don't wish that kinds of love on anyone. Co-dependant love, like this song is about, is unhealthy and emotionally damaging. Love yourself the best you can, be happy 100% in yourself first, without relying on someone else to make you happy.
The title October has a huge meaning for me, I lost my big brother in October 2010 he was my best friend. Then I lost my grandpa in October 2012, something I still haven't recovered from because it was quite traumatic. And the lyrics go even deeper but I can relate when she says I'm sorry, because I couldn't save my brother or my grandpa and it's a guilt I'll carry to my grave. I'm 39, I'll be 40 in August but life hasn't been the same since they died.
Stephanie Hoch Thank u, that means so much. It's a daily struggle I took an overdose in January but I survived it, I don't know why but I'm still here and their not😢I guess some things aren't meant to be understood, I just wish I knew why. Thank u for your kindness.
I've loved this song since I was a kid, 12 or 13 years old. It is literally why my name is Ari October, it was because of this song that I thought October would make a cool name. But lately this song has taken on a new meaning, one much more important to me than it ever was before. I know very few people will relate to this story but I feel compelled to tell it anyway. Maybe someday eventually it will be read by someone who needs to read it. Someone moved to tears by this song for the same reason I am. After a long spiritual journey I found myself drawn to Judaism. For over two years I attended services frequently, eventually attended the conversion classes which I excelled in, I was on track to finalizing my conversion. But near the very end of the process, I left it all behind. All because I (mistakenly!) thought nobody at shul (temple) liked me or wanted me there. So, for 3.5 years I ran from it. I tried to leave it all behind. But no matter what I did it still felt like I was already Jewish, even if I didn't want to be. It was often physically painful, it made my heart ache with yearning. But I felt like I couldn't go back, and given that I live in a small city that shul was my only choice, I couldn't go "shul shopping" and just find a different Jewish community. In February I finally caved to these feelings, I just couldn't take it anymore. I knew that Hashem is my God, the One God, and I needed to be around people who understood God the same way that I do. I had searched without any luck to find a different religion or spiritual path that was compatible with my already formed beliefs about God, but none managed to capture my heart in the same way Judaism had. This song was there for me as I struggled through this all-encompassing NEED to return to my people, and all the fear that went along with it. All the "what-ifs" and "but, but, buts". This song encapsulates how I feel towards Hashem and towards Jews. No other song can put it into words the way this one can. "In all my bitterness I ignored All that's real and true All I need is you"
This song is so oddly appropriate. My older brother's birthday is in October but he died in 2006. Listening to this with his birthday fast approaching it's just another reminder he's not with me anymore, he's not here, he'll never grow up, and there's so much he won't be able to do because of one accident. Happy almost birthday Tyler, I miss you every day.
Kerri-Lynn Dunne I'm sorry. 😔 😢 He'll be back though. God promises in the Bible, a ressurection of the dead back to earth. My father died when I was 13. Will be 21 years next month. I know I will see him again. Have faith.
"My only love, my only joy, my only strength" basically describes my experience as a closeted trans person growing up. Being a woman is the only thing that has made me happy, and now that I am out, "love is where I am."
my sister, who is now a man is the happiness of my life. he's the best and I connect with you kinda. he's told me everything about the lbgt part I never had a relationship w my sister then he became a man and we connect better than ever.
Sierra Paige brother* I'm sure he'd appreciate being called brother not sister. Trust me I'm a trans girl and my sister doesn't call me brother. She calls me sister because that's what I am. Him being a transman...he's your brother. The other way is unfitting. Just trying to help🌞☮️
Amy is so emotionally into this song it makes me want to say i'm sorry for the wrong's i need to right. It brings me back to loving life again, Amy is awesome.
I too am shattered... This song is so beautiful, brings me peace in ways nothing else will . Her music is very unique and wrenching emotionally, physically. Amen.
Carried this song with me for years. I would listen to this endlessly when I was younger. Now listening to it in adulthood, its a good song to reminisce about all of the precious moments this song is tied to. Beautiful song that is driven by powerful raw emotion.
I just now realized that this song comes from the broken heart of a person pleading for God to forgive them and take them home. God is our only strength and he is all we need. ✝️✝️✝️
I've heard all the evanescence ep's...the last song I'm wasting on you is another good one to test how dead inside I am XD and breathe no more...and field of innocence...
I like Amy Lee because she is just amazing at what she does and how much she cares about her fans and EV. You can tell when an artist takes there time and put everything they have into it. Amy works hard to make her fans happy. And she doesn't strip down for views she wants people to hear her voice. Its hard to find a singer like Amy who is smart and hardworking and takes time with her music. I love that the most about Amy!
I started to listening to Evancence scans I was 10 years old but now I am 17 but I am turning 18 soon but Amy Lee is the best Artists that I ever here her songs. But after my dad last away the songs she sings help me feel better :) :)
This song pretty much nails it for me. I’m a human being and I cannot ignore than I’m naturally vulnerable and I have the innate desire to love and be loved like everyone else deep down.
www.evanescencereference.info/music/#Evanescence_EP Don't know if you're still interested, but you can download the song there along with others. I used it, seems to be virus free. You can download it onto drive and enable offline access and... viola!
+Meredith Costa True. It's true meaning to the song is sung in the song by the writer/singer, in this case, Amy Lee. But listeners have the power to perceive the song any way they wish. If someone thought it was a beautiful song about God, then they have every right to believe that. If someone thought the totally opposite or felt it was about something not even involved with Christianity, they have every right to feel that way. It's horrible when people argue over it a lot though. Though I'm Christian, that doesn't mean that I argue with people over the meaning of the song. Besides, whether Amy Lee wanted this song to be about God or not, if someone perceives the meaning of the song along the lines of the Bible and other things, they shouldn't be dissed for it. It's not a bad thing to compare songs to God, nor is it a bad thing not to.
This song it helped me so much in one of the hardest fights of my faith! I got so mad at God and tried to run from him.But he is my everything and this song reminded me of that! So thankful she did this song and God sent it my way randomly.
Happy October everyone welcome back good to see you all again this year! Who got married, who got divorced? Who got back pain? Anyone have arthritis yet? You're all looking great, I've aged horrendously.
Listening to this song brings a flood of memories into my mind..throughout my teen yrs. I’am 22 now, I’ve been battling self harm pretty much throughout my life. I’d be self harming and then I’d be clean, I remember listening to this song sooo many times late at night sobbing my heart out. Asking God to give me the strength to keep fighting and running back to Him because I was weak. One way some how and one day I’ll personally thank Amy for being there for me throughout my entire life🖤. She’s saved me soooo MANY freaking times. This song will FOREVER hold a VERY special place in my life and 🖤. Know I’am not looking for ANY sympathy WHATSOEVER!
April 19, 2019... And I'm still listening to this amazing work of art. This is music. Ah... How I miss the early 2000s. There aren't many good artists nowadays, it sucks.
Hi i was wondering. Who still listening this? I hope we are not less. If you are reading in october. You are real fan of evanesence. 🖤
I come back every october
Everyday.
I think about this song every now and then and come back, one of their most beautiful songs imo ❤️
Me
Every Year
22 years ago I heard this for the first time. Still gives me chills now. Got me through some of the toughest times of my life, I listen now and again to remind myself how far I’ve come.
I wish they would re-record this on an album, available now
Glad to hear this song holds a special place in other people's hearts as well.
I think this woman literally saved my life. I mean her music brought me out of rough patches and really dark places. this song brings back immense memories. I will always love Amy but this Era of music was her absolute best.

You don't have to be an Evanescence fan to love this.
phlangephace If you are not a fan it is almost imposible you find this song
true
Ame Lee I am a huge fan of Evanescence, hell, it was what got me into loving music. And I just found out about this song today.
Jordan Does Gaming same but if known this song for a while
I used to listen to this song and cry.
This quarantine makes us listen to all old songs, 😢😢
Sone older songs are like friends. They get us through the rough times!
Yes!!
Yes. 😔
Me too 😔
This song is amazing perfect for October.
For me this song is about a broken and traumatized person who's been hurt and abandoned so many times that they're afraid to love or give themselves to their lover... but after a while they're tired of fighting them and their love and finally want to just give in and accept it and let their lover give them the love they so desperately crave. They have such a low self esteem that they see their lover as the only thing good about themself.
I get the same thing from these lyrics.

Back when I was 14 ( I'm 22 now) I'd listen to this to let my heart feel every emotion that I had hidden away. I absolutely love this song!
Damn... read my comment ok :/
Same. (25 now) This is the first song I ever learned on the guitar. It's still my go-to song to play when I'm in a rough mood and I need to get it out.
same, but I'm 27 now. this song goes back.
Same!!! I danced to this song at 14 and now I'm 22(:
I think I discovered this song when I was 11 and now I'm 18 coming back to this beautiful piece
Love this song since 2004, when im still single.. Now im 35 years old father, with two beautiful kids and sweet wife.. Both of my kids born in October.. This song really means a lot to me..

Yeah 😥

Such an underrated piece of music. My favorite Evanescence song
The way she says "I'm sorry" makes me wanna just run up to her and hug her😢😢
I've always thought of this song to be about someone who've denied love in their life, never letting anyone close. Then someone finally breaks through the wall they've built around him-/herself and they just release all the emotions they've been building up inside them, all at once. Realising that they can't lie to themselves anymore and just go with it all.

vickeflikka Amy herself said this song has a slight Christian theme behind the lyrics so I guess the subject is God, not an ordinary lover.

Me exactly. Discovered this in high school, 31 now.
My father at 84 loved this song when he heard it and when he was in he’s last moments of life, I played it for him while he passed away😢
😢
This song is a prayer to the sacred, it transcends religion, dogma and doctrine. AMAZING!!!
Uh. Says who
@@christinasings4395 who else is known for abounding grace?
@@thitsugaya1224 who else but God alone which I myself stated here already
Totally agree
I also thought it had a praise and worship kinda feel...
Happy October, again. I listen to this song EVERY October 1st.
Nice!
The older you get, the stronger those songs are getting, as you literary understand it by your life expreinces, and god it hurts too much.
October 2021, how time flies but the sadness and misery lasts forever
you alright george
This song makes me cry.
Absolutely powerful.
Love her
Brenda Davis makes me cry too.
For me personally, this song really desribes my relationship with God. There are times when i want other things more than i want Him. But in the end He always pulls me back to Him and makes me realize that He's all i truly have.

It's ok, everybody's like that sometimes :)
And, as far as forgiveness is concerned, Jesus had paid for the debts of our sins when He died on the cross :)
Yes, because when God is the last thing we have, we realize that He is the only thing that we need! Without Him nothing makes sense, we live our lives without any purpose or direction.
“I fall into your abounding grace..”
Cat Lover Amen!!
Amy Lee has such a magical and soothing voice, she has helped me through some really dark times. Not just Amy Lee though, the band is amazing. They also make the songs complete.
When she sings “I’m sorry” my heart breaks.
I love this song so much. A big part of my childhood but now that I listen to it, it sounds like a Gospel song about giving your life to God. Love it
i mean, she was in church choir...I am pretty sure she is christian
It is, or more about returning to God after turning away in anger and pain.
I wouldn’t call it gospel, but it is absolutely about surrender to God.
I'm a Jew rather than a Christian but yes this song absolutely holds that meaning for me!
It is
when I was a kid I cried to that song and I'm 21 and I'm crying so much right now. I feel destroyed.
Lucas Vinicius why? ;-;
I hope you're doing well now. You deserve all the love of this world❤
Because Jesus Christ drew you thru his love for you that's why
Hang in there!
Hang in there Lucas.....I am 52 and I feel the same.
Thank you Amy ❤️ for bringing me close to God,I don't know how should I thank you,may The Lord Jesus Bless u...thank u a billion times for this song u r an angel...n everyone who would be reading this msg should thank Amy and our savior Jesus Christ 🙏 there's still time so repent and pray... and know Jesus Christ is coming... praise be unto the Lord and Heavenly Father..Amen

I come back to this video every October since 2010
1st October 2017, I'm here.

hi 😊
Here I am again! Hope everyone is having a great October
my favorite artist of all time. i always listen to amy lee when my depression kicks in. her voice and words give me the strength to move on with life.
same and right now she helped me get through life
I think this song is about loving someone you know isn't good for you, but finding that love is too strong for you to walk away, even though you hurt, and you know it won't stop. I think we've all been there.
So true, you've described my love story 💔😔
Absolutely agree with you 100% 😓💔
yeah
I interpret it as about loving someone too good for you, and you for a while being misdirected and later realize only they can save you.
But now you say that it makes sense as well.
No, it's actually about returning to God after straying into sin, listen carefully to the lyrics.
This is so painful, sweet and relatable.
It's like a prayer. A very mystical song. Amy is a gigantic singer !
With music, you can interpret it however you choose. You can relate it to a something or someone in your life, and find your own meaning for the lyrics. So quit fighting in the comments about what Amy intended the lyrics to be about (and whether or not they're about religion), and think about how you personally relate to the lyrics, whether that be about a lover, friend, religion, or whatever.

For someone else the lyrics can mean something totally different.
When I listen to this song I picture myself setting in one of the pews after just receiving the Sacrament of Confession with tears in my eyes gazing up at the crucifix above the altar and pouring my heart out to God and telling him how sorry I am and how much he means to me and telling Him i'm going to try and do better because he is my only hope, my only peace, my only joy, my only strength my only love. And I personally feel his fatherly love and forgiveness
+allison mena Well, only Amy Lee knows the true meaning of the song. Us listeners just perceive the meaning of the song about God, love, a heartbreak, or other things. Jut thought I'd say that. But I agree, I find it to be a very pretty song about God, too.
I am Goth and I don't know why you put " " in front of the word. Evanescence is a RomantiGoth rock band that's the genre of music they play Just like the Cockatoo Twins and Rasputina. Being Goth doesn't make it non-Christian on the contrary a good majority of Goth music has songs about God
Carl Williams I completely agree. Being Goth doesn't automatically decide your religious perspectives. Anyone can be a Christian, just as anyone can be Jewish, Muslim, or Atheist.
I think it would shock most people if they knew that most Goths are very religious and spiritual people
Carl Williams To be honest, it probably would. It's pathetic that so many people stereotype things like this. They automatically assume odd or bad things are associated with Goths, Emos, scene kids, and many other genres and such like that. Not many of them even think logically when it comes down to their thoughts on this. Two of my closest friends are Goths. Both are very religious Christians, but everyone says bad things about them behind their backs, saying that they're probably satan worshipers. The lengths people will go to to prove a false point is honestly disappointing.
2October 2021 .. this song just hit my mind and crossed it by remembering October just has started 💫
I swear this is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard by evanescence ^0^
Her songs help me with my sadness over losing my mom.
I hope you are better now. Wishing you all the strength and joy
So sorry for your loss,i can understand you bcause i lost mine 2 years ago,her absence still feels unreal. Music can help trying to mend our broken pieces,remember she's always with you🥰
I was 15 yo when i first heard this song, now I'm 30 yo, still beautiful. Also all of the EP songs of Evanescence, before Fallen and all.
this is the first Ev song I ever heard. Amy's voice is simply haunting, it goes right to your soul.
You should listen to all of their songs, they're truely wonderful and touching, if you think this goes right into your soul, try listening to My Immortal:)
Alexander Austin Or Hello. That song is like someone stuck a knife into your soul rather than going straight to it in a gentle manner. Very emotional and sad.
Or Field of Innocence. That song digs DEEP into your soul..will leave you in tears. But yes, Hello drives into your soul very violently.
Also don't forget even in death, very haunting but beautiful :)
@@AlexanderAustin1994 the bitter truth!! 7 years later after you comment😂
This song. Oh my gosh, i remember the first time i heard it,like 10 years ago. It holds such a power on me, makes me emotional everytime
Evanescence keeps me from dying of pop music.
This song reminds me of all the times that I've walked away from God just to find myself returning to Him again because in the end He is my everything.
Yes, because when God is the last thing we have, we realize that He is the only thing that we need! Without Him nothing makes sense, we live our lives without any purpose or direction. Don't give up! Fight for the salvation of your soul! Everything in this world will pass, so build eternal things! And the only way to God and the eternal life, is Jesus ♥
Amen ❤️🙏
Jocelys Perez me too😁🤗
I was just thinking this too. Glad you said it. :D
Jocelys Perez so very true. He's always there we are the ones that leave his grace.
I...will never get tired of listening to this womans voice...shes just so soothing beautiful!
I've come back to this song every October for years
these songs are so powerful, i wish there was more of them
Nightcrawler509 Aka 'Blue' same
this song is about addiction
when life falls on me i will not close my eyes .amazing
Agreed
I was alone for most time of my life, I even hadn't any friend for some years. Those times teached me about solitude and showed me that I really need to walk forward alone. Even though, I just feel like a failure in most of what I've done, and all that pain falls down on me and knock me out at the moments when I really need to be strong.
There are some words of help that can't be said, not only because there's no one to hear, but also cause only ourselves can take our own hands and walk fowards our dreams, which perhaps can be realized.
That's just up to us, they say.
"no one will ever como to save you"
This song says what I just can't say, and that's one of my favorite things in Evanescence songs. They are my comfort when anything is.
I'm really sorry for my bad english
Listening to this beautiful song in october 🤍
Same.
My birthday month
This song perfectly describes my relationship with God. I've failed so many times but I always fall right back into his arms..

jwhitloctombraider I'm a former Christian and No God didn't help me so sadly I left "him" 😓
@@HxnnahTheHajPetter that sucks. Eternal flames is much worse js.
jwhitloctombraider yes, only a person who has been in a close relationship with God long enough knows His forgiveness and Mercy. I can perfectly understand how she describes that straying from Him was cutting her so deep. About how she couldn’t ignore Him because once you know Him you’re never the same again. About how He is her only strength, hope, love and how His Grace is abounding. Keep persevering my friend in Christ!! This song is special to me for the same reason. Like the Scriptures say you’re not suffering alone. & for anyone else on here who feel like the prodigal Son, He is waiting for you with open arms.
Sad my friend. How do you unbelieve? Time spent in His presence should not be undone. You may have been a rock, letting the water of Gods Spirit and Word flow over never pentatrating the soul when the idea is to become a sponge taking in all of whom He is! Once you truly know Him, you will never want to be out of His presence or will. I will pray for you!
Jesus I felt i had such a pent up cry session and this is where I had to come for it...
Damn, it must be amazing to feel this way about someone, I hope one day I will...
Ha yeah I imagine he would, still it's nice that he's looking out for you :)
I feel this song powerful.
I cry when I hear it.
I feel this way about someone that I can’t be with.
Because I married a man who has never had any time for me in 26 years.
And the guy I have thease feelings for likes me a lot.
I wish I could have known this guy before the jerk I married.
Brenda Davis ouch, sorry to hear
No you don’t. You’ll want to die without them.
I don't wish that kinds of love on anyone. Co-dependant love, like this song is about, is unhealthy and emotionally damaging. Love yourself the best you can, be happy 100% in yourself first, without relying on someone else to make you happy.
The title October has a huge meaning for me, I lost my big brother in October 2010 he was my best friend. Then I lost my grandpa in October 2012, something I still haven't recovered from because it was quite traumatic. And the lyrics go even deeper but I can relate when she says I'm sorry, because I couldn't save my brother or my grandpa and it's a guilt I'll carry to my grave. I'm 39, I'll be 40 in August but life hasn't been the same since they died.
Tina Lancaster So sad. 😢 I hope you feel better!
Stephanie Hoch Thank u, that means so much. It's a daily struggle I took an overdose in January but I survived it, I don't know why but I'm still here and their not😢I guess some things aren't meant to be understood, I just wish I knew why. Thank u for your kindness.
Tina Lancaster stay strong for me you beautiful soul. I love you x
@@tinalancaster3227 your comment made me cry a little because I know exactly how you feel. Keep going strong... for everyone else around you ❤

I only listen to this song in October... A habit that I've had for years
Dana and it's October
wow ! Me too ! It´s a ritual.
This is the reason I´m here today. By the way, it´s my birthday :)
Happy birthday :)
Wyncla Paz Happy Birthday!
This is a very beautiful Christian song❤
I’m in a tough spot right now, but someone that I love sent this song to me. This song makes me want to be happy. Even though it’s near impossible
Amazing. The guitar structure is so perfect.
I've loved this song since I was a kid, 12 or 13 years old. It is literally why my name is Ari October, it was because of this song that I thought October would make a cool name. But lately this song has taken on a new meaning, one much more important to me than it ever was before.
I know very few people will relate to this story but I feel compelled to tell it anyway. Maybe someday eventually it will be read by someone who needs to read it. Someone moved to tears by this song for the same reason I am.
After a long spiritual journey I found myself drawn to Judaism. For over two years I attended services frequently, eventually attended the conversion classes which I excelled in, I was on track to finalizing my conversion. But near the very end of the process, I left it all behind. All because I (mistakenly!) thought nobody at shul (temple) liked me or wanted me there.
So, for 3.5 years I ran from it. I tried to leave it all behind. But no matter what I did it still felt like I was already Jewish, even if I didn't want to be. It was often physically painful, it made my heart ache with yearning. But I felt like I couldn't go back, and given that I live in a small city that shul was my only choice, I couldn't go "shul shopping" and just find a different Jewish community.
In February I finally caved to these feelings, I just couldn't take it anymore. I knew that Hashem is my God, the One God, and I needed to be around people who understood God the same way that I do. I had searched without any luck to find a different religion or spiritual path that was compatible with my already formed beliefs about God, but none managed to capture my heart in the same way Judaism had.
This song was there for me as I struggled through this all-encompassing NEED to return to my people, and all the fear that went along with it. All the "what-ifs" and "but, but, buts". This song encapsulates how I feel towards Hashem and towards Jews. No other song can put it into words the way this one can.
"In all my bitterness
I ignored
All that's real and true
All I need is you"
I was dip in water..and love potato salad
This song is so powerfull😍
This song is so oddly appropriate. My older brother's birthday is in October but he died in 2006. Listening to this with his birthday fast approaching it's just another reminder he's not with me anymore, he's not here, he'll never grow up, and there's so much he won't be able to do because of one accident. Happy almost birthday Tyler, I miss you every day.
Im so sorry because of your brother :(
bless you n ya brother. loss is a terrible thing x
Kerri-Lynn Dunne I'm sorry. 😔 😢 He'll be back though. God promises in the Bible, a ressurection of the dead back to earth. My father died when I was 13. Will be 21 years next month. I know I will see him again. Have faith.
I pray for you 2❤
Our childhood went by so quickly..
No kidding
"My only love, my only joy, my only strength" basically describes my experience as a closeted trans person growing up. Being a woman is the only thing that has made me happy, and now that I am out, "love is where I am."
Brave thing to post. Hope you've found contentment now.
crazy i found another trans sister that can connect with this song
my sister, who is now a man is the happiness of my life. he's the best and I connect with you kinda. he's told me everything about the lbgt part I never had a relationship w my sister then he became a man and we connect better than ever.
Sierra Paige brother* I'm sure he'd appreciate being called brother not sister. Trust me I'm a trans girl and my sister doesn't call me brother. She calls me sister because that's what I am. Him being a transman...he's your brother. The other way is unfitting. Just trying to help🌞☮️
Amy is so emotionally into this song it makes me want to say i'm sorry for the wrong's i need to right. It brings me back to loving life again, Amy is awesome.
Welcoming October 2016 with this song...
This song is now so synonymous with October. Amy Lee's voice is lovely
2020 still listening to this❤️
It's October/2022, and I'm listening this song at first time. I'm fall in love with it. I'm really fall in love... It's like a prayer... ❤️
same ♥
I love it since 2006 and returning every October
I too am shattered... This song is so beautiful, brings me peace in ways nothing else will . Her music is very unique and wrenching emotionally, physically. Amen.
Amy Lee is very beautiful and I love her and her band is amazing. Amy Lee inspires me.
Carried this song with me for years. I would listen to this endlessly when I was younger. Now listening to it in adulthood, its a good song to reminisce about all of the precious moments this song is tied to. Beautiful song that is driven by powerful raw emotion.
I just now realized that this song comes from the broken heart of a person pleading for God to forgive them and take them home.
God is our only strength and he is all we need. ✝️✝️✝️
This and Understanding are the two songs I use to see how dead inside I am haha
oOPS
Oooh so that's what smells..
have you ever tried Solitude?
I've heard all the evanescence ep's...the last song I'm wasting on you is another good one to test how dead inside I am XD and breathe no more...and field of innocence...
Jay Grainger I know thats you are dead inside.. but I wanna know what is your favorite song...I dlike to know more about you
I like Amy Lee because she is just amazing at what she does and how much she cares about her fans and EV. You can tell when an artist takes there time and put everything they have into it. Amy works hard to make her fans happy. And she doesn't strip down for views she wants people to hear her voice. Its hard to find a singer like Amy who is smart and hardworking and takes time with her music. I love that the most about Amy!
October 2022. Been listening to this song for years. Absolutely beautiful song that never gets old.
I started to listening to Evancence scans
I was 10 years old but now I am 17 but I am turning 18 soon but Amy Lee is the best Artists that I ever here her songs. But after my dad last away the songs she sings help me feel better :) :)
This song pretty much nails it for me. I’m a human being and I cannot ignore than I’m naturally vulnerable and I have the innate desire to love and be loved like everyone else deep down.
Acordei com essa música na cabeça hoje. É muito bom vc lembrar de uma música, ir nas plataformas musicais e saber que ela está lá.
Why can't this be on Spotify 😫
Marley Lecter i kno right
Because its not one of their official songs. Its one of Amy's personel songs.
www.evanescencereference.info/music/#Evanescence_EP
Don't know if you're still interested, but you can download the song there along with others. I used it, seems to be virus free. You can download it onto drive and enable offline access and... viola!
@@ravynmarie5965 A viola is an instrument. Did you mean voila?
That's why I use UA-cam music instead of spotify.

I totally agree with ya!! 🙏✝️❤️

Everything is not all about god all the time, no matter how much Christians want to argue otherwise.
+Meredith Costa True. It's true meaning to the song is sung in the song by the writer/singer, in this case, Amy Lee. But listeners have the power to perceive the song any way they wish. If someone thought it was a beautiful song about God, then they have every right to believe that. If someone thought the totally opposite or felt it was about something not even involved with Christianity, they have every right to feel that way. It's horrible when people argue over it a lot though. Though I'm Christian, that doesn't mean that I argue with people over the meaning of the song. Besides, whether Amy Lee wanted this song to be about God or not, if someone perceives the meaning of the song along the lines of the Bible and other things, they shouldn't be dissed for it. It's not a bad thing to compare songs to God, nor is it a bad thing not to.
+Toxify * Well said
No one's arguing. Someone was bitter 3 years ago! 😂
This song it helped me so much in one of the hardest fights of my faith! I got so mad at God and tried to run from him.But he is my everything and this song reminded me of that! So thankful she did this song and God sent it my way randomly.
I listened to this song when I was 16, my friend and I played in guitar. My God 15 years ago.
I'm not a Christian person but I'm believer in God and I dedicated this song to him. He's my only peace, my only joy, my only strength
Happy October everyone welcome back good to see you all again this year! Who got married, who got divorced? Who got back pain? Anyone have arthritis yet?
You're all looking great, I've aged horrendously.
Still my favorite song... going on like 15 years now lol the feels never fade away.
Right on
i wish that they still do music like these..
This song is so beautiful
This is one of there best songs by far, I know there is a wide array to choose from but you can't deny how good October really is!!
one of the best songs that is underrated
Listening to this song brings a flood of memories into my mind..throughout my teen yrs. I’am 22 now, I’ve been battling self harm pretty much throughout my life. I’d be self harming and then I’d be clean, I remember listening to this song sooo many times late at night sobbing my heart out. Asking God to give me the strength to keep fighting and running back to Him because I was weak. One way some how and one day I’ll personally thank Amy for being there for me throughout my entire life🖤. She’s saved me soooo MANY freaking times. This song will FOREVER hold a VERY special place in my life and 🖤. Know I’am not looking for ANY sympathy WHATSOEVER!
This my favorite song by them. I'm a HUGE Evanescence fan! I CAN'T WAIT FOR THEM TO GO BACK ON TOUR!!!!
Still banging this in 2023👊🏾
My good friend passed away yesterday. Fitting that it's in October. Very sad though.
