    Amy's younger sister passed away, when she was 6 years old. Amy said it affected her deeply. I think that's why, most of the early songs, have this haunting, feeling of emptiness, loss. But also this raw feeling, this force. Even if they aren't all about her...
    I'm glad to hear your wife is doing well! Love your reaction to this amazing song.

    I lost my girlfriend of over a year due to suicide. We would talk every night around the same time every night. She had severe depression, and she told me that I was one of the only things that made her feel something. I remember there would be nights where I would hold her as she would break down from all the stress in her life. From the back seat of my car, to my couch. There would be times I would tell her yell and let out some of her stress because it was eating her up. She never could.
    Every night, I can't help but feel her gone. I stare at my last text messages from her. The last messages I ever got from her. I go through everything she ever gave me, from thank you cards, to birthday cards, to drawings she made for fun. I lose it everytime it plays "These wounds don't seem to heal. This pain is just too real"
    "There's just too much that time cannot erase"
    Rest In Peace.

    Yes, I love how you picked up on how she never touches the solid ground at any point in the video. Meanwhile, the guy is in black and always grounded, clearly struggling to write a song while seemingly dealing with a deeper sadness. Its definitely a song that brings to mind the lingering pain after losing someone you love to death. And I always say, never apologize for emotions. Songs like this clearly are written to draw out that emotion, and by crying...you prove the writer's and singer's efforts were successful.

      Call Me When You’re Sober was a wild one. I enjoyed a handful of Seether songs but the one that got me in to them was Broken featuring Amy Lee. Finding out that Call Me When Your Sober was written about Shaun Morgan and they’d been dating for years and he’d spiralled so far was shocking. It was kind of cool hearing that he supposedly checked in to rehab the day Call Me When You’re Sober came out.

    This song will always be emotional for me. When I was a freshman in high school I met someone who was a few grades ahead of me and who I also learned had beat cancer when he was a kid. He later got another girl in his grade pregnant, convinced her to keep it, got a job, graduated and became an electrician. He also got engaged to the girl when sadly his cancer returned and sadly took him. They had agreed to play this song at his funeral. R.I.P Brett you are missed friend

    When this song came out, I was stuck making hour long commutes to a job that kept my kid in Insulin. During the commute, I was refining a novel series (approximately 10 books). I plan to one day start releasing it, now that life has given me the time (in the worst possible way). From the first moment I heard this song, I knew THIS was the song that played during the final scenes of the final book. It encapsulated EVERYTHING about that moment and the journey to there. It makes the moment even more impactful because it evokes events in the audience member's own life, creating a bond that enhancing the emotions. I have finally had time this last year to outline the story that I have been developing for over 30 years. After a 300+ page outline, this song is still perfect both in lyrics and performers. A cover would be unacceptable.
    It is sad that this song has disappeared from the mainstream consciousness, but maybe I can eventually bring it back.

    Please please please keep doing more, this is just the first album that celebrates 20 years this year, she grows so much both her voice and the themes of her songs! (also p.s. fun fact the dress she wears is actually pink, but since it's in black and white everyone always thought it was white, I gasped audibly when I saw bts pics of the video!) (Amy actually has some songs about her younger sister who passed away at age 4, when she was 6, of unknown reasons, and it's something that always stayed with her a lot to the point that she doesn't perform live the songs that are specifically about her because she would get too emotional. It'd be cool if you looked up her story too, plenty of interesting trivia)(ok, not gonna say sorry about that, but can I say I'm glad all is fine with your wife? Cause I am. Love ya)

    This is honestly one of my favorite songs. It is so hauntingly beautiful. Amy Lee's voice is just so ethereal and other worldly... And the fact that she can do these light whispery songs and still have such power and command with her tone and the strength of her voice... and then just belt it out when those guitars come in... She is amazing. There are very few albums that I love start to finish... even my all time favorite bands, I have some songs I don't like as much... I can honestly say that I love every single song on their album Fallen.

    This song is so relatable to many for many different reasons. Loss of a loved one by death or just the death of a relationship. When she sings, "But though you're still with me, I've been alone all the long" implies a relationship where one person is still holding on while the other is half way out the door.

    This song really touches the soul, no other way to put it. Back in the days it was the song they released when a band member (the one walking around in the video, in black) left the band because they had an argument about how to continue the project. It was written by the same band member, I believe, to deal with some grief and they chose to release it as a single and with a music video as a goodbye gift, honouring his song and feelings that way.

A couple years earlier I lost my wife to an IED in Iraq. She was a nurse and traveling to a post to help a bunch of wounded Marines when a roadside IED blew, killed everyone in the truck. We were together since HS, nearly 15 years.
