The smokiness of her voice really shines in this song.The velvet resonance of her harmonizing. You can tell she pushes herself to hit those high notes rather than be defeated. This is true art. Her imperfections make her beautiful.
Exactly. I've always described her voice on The Open Door songs such as this one, Sweet Sacrifice, and All That I Am Living For to sound fantastically sour. It sounds painful and raw and amazing. Smoky is another word to describe how it sounds.
Whilst as a listener I don't agree that she has vocal "imperfections" - in fact her voice to me oozes such control and an innate sense of beauty in her projection - I absolutely can see what you mean still. Your adjectives are bang on and push a palpable euphoric sense to the forefront of my brain listening to her under that description 😊
I've listened to The Open Door close to 200 times and I'm having a difficult time deciding which is my favorite song. Seriously!! This album is that freaking great! Lose Control, Snow White Queen, Like You are definitely at the top but I think Good Enough takes the top spot. For an album to be so dark yet to end on something so positive and hopeful! Evanescence (Amy Lee) knocked it out of the park and tore the cover off the ball with this record! What an outstanding album!
Fallen and The Open Door are definitely the best Evanescence albums, as all the songs are really good with pretty and distinctive melodies, plus these songs are perfect for me as they reflect me The Queen / The Snow-White / The God(dess) / The Lady / The Princess / The Leader / The Mar(y) / The Star etc and they are also written on higher notes that are perfect for my voice, as I naturally have the highest and whitest / lightest / brightest voice ever, being the coloratura sopranino, so these songs are easy for me when it comes to range, and I even used to sing them in a higher pitch, and somehow I could easily sing along with the original tracks in the background, even though my natural voice / tone matches the voices of the 2nd Nightwish singer that sang Escapist and Seven Days To The Wolves and Amaranth etc and the 1st singer from Skáld that sang Grótti and Hross and SæKonunger etc the most, but when I would sing in a different way or in a different pitch, my voice would blend in well even with a mezzo soprano voice, so I guess that’s why the difference in tones didn’t distract me, as I would also do darker tones sometimes, though they are still harder than most other songs due to the longer notes, so singing along with these Evanescence songs and WT songs and Nightwish songs has helped me a lot with controlling the longer notes, so I used to know all these lyrics automatically about a decade ago, as I used to sing them hundreds of times back then, but now it seems like I forgot a lot of the lines or at least the order in which they are sung, so I started listening to them again while reading the lyrics, as I am trying to re-learn all these lyrics before I end up forgetting everything, and it should be easy for me to re-learn them, as I still know a lot of lines, so it should all be coming back after listening to these several times over the course of a month or so, as it’s more like, refreshing my memory, rather than having to learn new lyrics from scratch - but I am also trying to learn lots of new lyrics from scratch in multiple other languages that are newer languages that I am not fluent in yet, such as Norse and Gothic and Icelandic and Faroese and Dutch and Norwegian and Welsh and Breton and Cornish and Forn Svenska etc, as I am learning all these heavenly Norse / Germanic / Nordic languages and Celtic languages etc, and memorizing lots of lyrics also helps learning the languages faster, so it feels like my hern is having one of those moments when I keep forgetting lines and words and I cannot focus and it feels like I cannot learn anything sometimes etc, but I’m sure it’s just temporary, as I am trying to learn so many languages at the same time, so once I get fluent in the newer languages, I’m sure it will all go back to normal!
I always lose control because of my anxiety. And my fears are breaking me down. I listen to this song to remind me of what ive been through struggling mental disorder. It was not always been easy to me but got through it all and gained my self control back. Finally i had met someone who could understand and help me get through it all.
You sure? I've always thought it sounded like someone giving into the desire to have sex with someone who was already in a relationship. Which is still bad, I know, but it's still always kinda sounded sexy to me. If that's true, that sorta ruins it for me, haha. And to think, this was my favorite Evanescence song...
Actually, I just read that "Amy has said that the song is about wanting to be less apprehensive and more "loose", and wanting to not have so much responsibility."
They always make their videos so flashy. All these different screens, not good for ppl w seizures.. I wish she would include a warning or make some that are not in that style
Damn, yet another great song from Evanescence. It's so hauntingly beautiful and seductive, like being ensnared in the web of a black widow. I'm not sure what the intended meaning is, or if there even is an intended meaning, but if I had to guess it's about wanting to let go and surrender control. Maybe the singer is a control freak and always needs to be in control, but wishes just once she could relinquish control and be okay with not being in control. I can relate to this, I'm a bit of a control freak myself lol, but sometimes I wish I could just relax and let go. It could also be the singer is fighting the temptation to do something "bad" like drugs or alcohol or sex. And she wishes she could just give into temptation, just once, but knows that doing so would have negative, possibly irreversible, consequences. Either way great song, I adore Amy Lee's voice. There's something about her tonal quality that's so unique and entrancing. I can easily pick it out, even when I don't know the song is by Evanescence. Also it is just me or is the way she sings "if we play very quiet, my lamb/Mary never has to know" weirdly sexual? Like... I'm straight but that line has me questioning my sexuality lol.
@@carpediemearth Oh wow, so I sort of hit the nail on the head I guess lol. I can definitely relate, sadly I also have a hard time letting my guard down around others because of abuse.
@@RainbowEssence-c3w Yeah I can relate as well to that. That's one of the many reasons I connect with Amy as an artist and her work so much, all the turmoil she's experienced in her life and career and how she's poured it, her feelings and emotions into the music, and tried to rise above it and come out the other side. She's not only a great musician but someone I've admired over the years as an individual as well
Why on earth are there only 69 comments for this amazing song? WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?! This is pure irony!!! (Irony being the opposite of the expected outcome) duh
What's interesting about this song is if you played me just the instrumental I couldn't recognize it. For me, it really is all about Amy's gorgeous voice in this one. ❤
This it really a great song. Amy throws just about the whole toolbox at it. It's just about everything Amy does really well. If you're going to tell someone what song is Evanescence this would have to be one you'd have to pick. It shows what she does best. I keep telling people The Open Door is who Amy lee is musically more than Fallen. Fallen is like stick figures put up again the painting of the Last Supper (The Open Door). Stick figures are fine in their place I guess. But The Last Supper is a master. Every song on The Open Door was well crafted with all the little things that just fills the sound like this one.
As you can see, I only uploaded this on April 13th, and it's my first public video, so I'm not surprised I have this many views :) Anyway, 85 is a lot for me :) Yeah, the only song I know from the first Evanescence album is Sick :/ (I'm buying the album soon) I literally like ALL their songs, like, I tried writing my favorites on here and ended up just writing all their songs x) (from both The Open Door and Fallen albums) I think I'm going to do Cloud Nine next, and then maybe Going Under :)
Thanks :) It's the Evanescence font :) I think it's also one of my favorite songs :) (By 'one of' I basically mean that all their songs are my favorites XD) But didn't their last album Fallen come out in, like, 2003 or something? I hope the band didn't split up :(
I believe this song is about being molested. A lamb is a representation of an innocence. Something like that happening and keeping it pent up can cause a lot of anger, hence why she would want to "lose control"
i think a lot of evanescence songs do, "Where Will you Go" and "Anywhere" are similar... I guess u can tell by looking at the titles..... "Like you" (I'll) "Loose control" ...
So many people think this song is about sex and whatnot. But what if it's about suicide or something? Like, that honestly seems more appealing if you ask me. It's probably not, but still.
I've lost control once. Who am I kidding I lose control a lot!!! when i do people dont get near me cause i can actually hurt someone and tell them things that hurt from the inside
It's actually coming from the place of wanting to let go of walls built up and willingly give up some control. At the same time it struggles with it cause she's also implying that she's afraid of what effect it may have
These comments are messing me up😅 I always thought she was talking about losing control of her anger, letting herself feel the rage she kept bottled up.
This is one of my favorite songs when I feel like I'm fighting evil toxic people and truma that brought me here I'd rely on this song to push me harder to channel my negative energy into positive energy like screaming out when I'm battling with my enemies letting my emotions out so I'd feel better without bottling them up inside it feel therapeutic for me and entertaining.
well i see you posted this a while ago but now they have a new albulm out now called "what you want" i think thats what its called ive herd almost all of the songs on t so far they sound different all the band members have been replaced except for amy lee herself they sound alot different but as a true ev fan i will stick with them...they still sound good tho ...
The smokiness of her voice really shines in this song.The velvet resonance of her harmonizing. You can tell she pushes herself to hit those high notes rather than be defeated. This is true art. Her imperfections make her beautiful.

"Your Star" and "lose control" I love this song
This song is oddly mesmerizing...
I have a cover of this song:

i hope everything gets better soon, stay strong 💪
Her Mezzo-soprano voice make it special, dark and beautiful indeed.
its true,she does had mezzo sopranos
This song is sex to my ears
ear gasm
This song is about child molestation ._.
+Sharon Wascom even better
You sure? I've always thought it sounded like someone giving into the desire to have sex with someone who was already in a relationship.

This song gets an A+ on every level.
Even math?

3:14 it is like a haunted Wolf...
The end is the best in my opinion!
4:34 I love that part
Don't even think about life without music. In fact it's impossible to imagine life without music because without music there wouldn't be life!
They should've made a really awesome yet scary music video to this
They always make their videos so flashy. All these different screens, not good for ppl w seizures.. I wish she would include a warning or make some that are not in that style
Yea like a super dark themed music video.
All her songs always take me away to a new world and that's my secret hideout while I read
2:55-3:15 Amazing harmonizing and low key singing.
I lost control a long time ago
All people lose control cause we are humans, I made a cover:
ua-cam.com/video/i1pnrPAj6_A/v-deo.html
i just fricking love this song and evanescence since my 10 !!
It's soooo mysterious ..
Love it
woah, same here :D
1st band I ever heard. I was like around 10 years old aswell.
this song reminds me of a foreshadowing scene of a movie.....I luv it
best song on the album
I dreamed about this song today .. it was awesome

Yeah Amy wrote it about wanting to let her guard down, which she built up since her youth due to traumas
@@carpediemearth Oh wow, so I sort of hit the nail on the head I guess lol. I can definitely relate, sadly I also have a hard time letting my guard down around others because of abuse.

@@w1lL0w11 26 years-old, why? What does age have to do with this?
Actually the lyrics are about infidelity (she had an affair with a married man back in 2004/05)
Ear-gasm.
This song is so kinky but like I love it so much
Why on earth are there only 69 comments for this amazing song? WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?! This is pure irony!!! (Irony being the opposite of the expected outcome) duh
buzzbear 120 exactly!
Here in 2023 still love her !!
I love you Amy Lee..! Your voice modulation is awesome..!
So. True. She could be her own band with that voice- not that dat amazing guitar isn't the bomb
Poor Mary...
Ce Al 😂😂 yes,poor mary
Poor lamb too
This is art.
Uff hace años que no la escuchaba 😊 Evanescence no tiene malas canciones ❤
This kind of songs make to insanes
?
This is the second time ever that i have been scared because of a piece of music in about 20 yrs.
this song makes me want to lose control sexually every single time
Daisy Lazy Take care hahah
This song means to be sexual and sensual.. Its gothic romance.. and gothic romance or love is full of lust but in the purest of forms..
Tenía bastante tiempo que no escuchaba esta canción 😮
What's interesting about this song is if you played me just the instrumental I couldn't recognize it. For me, it really is all about Amy's gorgeous voice in this one. ❤
I am going to marry a man who loves Evanescense as much as I do.

U make these songs. Don't stop
Eu Amo essa música 😍❤
Scheila Lilith também
Fun fact, this album was written for the Chronicles of Narnia
Yes it was!
Not the whole album, only Lacrymosa, Together Again, and the intro of Good Enough.
No, it was the songs Together Again, part of Lacrymosa, and the musical intro to Good Enough that Amy had originally composed for Narnia.
Most of her songs were written for her sister that passed away most of her songs in this album
@@carpediemearth I know 😂
I love this...
LOL I just googled "Evanescence font" and I got it x)
Best song of Rock music in 21st century
Thanks :) It's the Evanescence font :)
I think it's also one of my favorite songs :) (By 'one of' I basically mean that all their songs are my favorites XD)
But didn't their last album Fallen come out in, like, 2003 or something? I hope the band didn't split up :(
To lose control, just once!

+Holland Carson that...killed it for me.
clairavance21
Suck it up
the song is actually about child molestation, so you're right.
OMG😱
she might mean lose control from anger, it might feel good to her to let all the anger out. u never know
Should I make some more Evanescence lyrics videos? :)
Aw thanks :)
I subscribed to you :)
I like My immortal and hello and this its my girl that sings my sad songs when I feel down
Just to lose control just once!
Aww thanks :) I agree, this song is PERFECT
love this song
I have a cover to this song:

I lost control on my teacher and gotten kicked out of school for 7 days
Thanks for the video :)

CAN WE PLAYYYY THIS GAME MY WAYYY???
So many people think this song is about sex and whatnot. But what if it's about suicide or something? Like, that honestly seems more appealing if you ask me. It's probably not, but still.
Don’t get me wrong I am a hardcore Evanescence’s fan, but out of all her songs this one has the most disturbing lyrics.
Listen to a demo called surrender and you'll think differently for sure. I just imagine her standing over someone chained up
Listen to Snow White Queen which she wrote about a horrible stalker experience she had
:3
Really? You and my brother have the same birthday date! XD
I've lost control once. Who am I kidding I lose control a lot!!! when i do people dont get near me cause i can actually hurt someone and tell them things that hurt from the inside
i lost control . i fed on a girl today. it was a momen of weakness
did u eat out a girl or something? 😏😏
i couldnt control my hunger . so i fed on her blood
ohhh kinky
I lost control.I fed on a girl today,it was a moment of weakness*

Sounds similar to Elbow - any day now
This song has got some serious submissive energy 😏
It's actually coming from the place of wanting to let go of walls built up and willingly give up some control. At the same time it struggles with it cause she's also implying that she's afraid of what effect it may have
Ted bundy vibes
I feel like this should play in a horror movie over a sex scene between a demon and the human whose soul they now own
I FRIGGIN LOVE EVANECSCENCE!!!
Im going to tell my kids this is the origin of mary had a little lamb song
epic music: on
headphones: on
pants: off
These comments are messing me up😅 I always thought she was talking about losing control of her anger, letting herself feel the rage she kept bottled up.
It can mean so many different things for everyone! Your POV also makes sense to me!

very nice
One of my all time favourites ❤️
Literally the best song I have ever listened to
This song has always taken me back to 2010..I miss you..🤗
Best band ever
well i see you posted this a while ago but now they have a new albulm out now called "what you want" i think thats what its called ive herd almost all of the songs on t so far they sound different all the band members have been replaced except for amy lee herself they sound alot different but as a true ev fan i will stick with them...they still sound good tho ...
I think the songs fade into each other :)
Just call me Amy's Lamb from now on.lol 💚
