Amy wrote this song for her younger sister, who passed away, in what i believe was a drowning accident, when they were very young. People mistake "My Immortal". for this song. Amy has explained this, in interviews. Very powerful and haunting. ✌💙
She died of an undisclosed illness, one that Amy Lee said that she first found out when she was only 6 on a playground...I couldn't imagine the horror... Something that surely traumatized her at such an early age.
6:58 Amy Lee: Don't cry Everyone: Cries "Understanding" is another sad one from them that feels topical. It's sad that people always look for so many reasons to hate each other. Quite often for such mundane things like who we believe in, or our lack of belief, or the things that make us look different from one another, or the people we want to love and live with, or the person we want to be and identify as, often seeing struggles or kindness as weakness. The world is so full of so much hate and suffering, and even in the western world where we live somewhat peacefully and comfortably, we still cannot bring ourselves to just accept and help one another, to strive to make this world a better place for all of us.
Same here here bro. Every freaking time, tears.... The last line completely kills me every time... "Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping Hello I'm still here All that's left of yesterday"
Martin, though I may not know you, I want you to know you are not alone and people care. The world is a better place with YOU in it. Look at now and what you have done to help others. Sharing this song with OkayRickk and for others who feel the same, you are a light. You are a hero
@@dallasthedynamitetripawd9163 thank you so much. Im in tears reading your comment i pray your well and happy and everyone on this great family sending hugs to you. ❤️❤️🤘
Okayrickk, thank you so much for the wonderful commentary before the song started, you're such a wonderful person and even though I may not know you personally, I already just love you! Thank you again for such a wonderful and uplifting message! You made my day! 🩷
Amy has written several songs about this same subject. Her little sister passed away when they both were very young, and this obviously marked her forever. She wrote "My Immortal", "Hello", "Like You" and I'm sure some other songs about her sister. All of them just as soul crushing.
As the kid that grew up alone, with no friends and hurting because i never understood why nobody wanted to be my friend, i ugly cried when i first heard this song. It felt like she was speaking to me. My only friend was my own mind, and the characters in the books i read. Many, many years later i figured out that i was autistic. My parents just ignored it my whole life because i wasnt a problem at school. When i asked my mom one day why i didnt have friends, she told me that it's because I stink. I was 11. I SHATTERED. Guys, that was the first time i had a full dissociative episode. I'm doing much better now and i have friends that love and accept me, but this song still makes me cry for my little self who suffered that pain and isolation
Wow, I could have written this myself. Let me guess, female? It seems to be vastly overlooked in females because we tend not to cause as many disruptions. The signs were alllllll there during my childhood, it just baffles me that I was left to feel so different, so alien, and no one bothered to get me tested and help me understand who I am. And my mom was always so critical of me, she told me I smelled too...did a sniff test basically everytime I left my room. Told me my breath smelled like "literal cow shit" despite having just brushed and used mouthwash. It's still my biggest anxiety whenever I see her. I put on extra deodorant, spray perfume, brush and rinse immediately before I leave, chew mints and gum on my way to her house... it really fucked with me. And I can remember the moment I realized I had been dissociating during stressful times. My mom was yelling at me for something (she always accused me of lying so that was probably it) when suddenly she said something like "and what's with thay stupid look that's always on your face?! It's like you're not even hearing anything I say! Are you even listening or are you just sitting there looking dumb?" .... that was the first time I paid attention to what was happening to me ... felt like my head was the size of a movie theater screen and I was looking at her through a fisheye lense, her face took up my entire field of vision, but I was disconnected from the sound coming out of her mouth almost like an out of body experience like I was watching it all unfold but I wasn't really in my body. That happened almost every time she yelled at me, but I had never really been called back to the moment to pay attention to it before. When I got older I learned about dissociation and finally had an answer. My mom was my main trigger so it pretty much stopped when I moved out, although I did experience it once at a job interview and that was pretty weird because as soon as it was over I finally realized what had happened and that I wasn't really present for most of it ... needless to say I didn't get the job. Anyways, sorry for info dumping. But I wanted to say I empathize and I'm sorry you had to struggle so much. I'm glad you found people to have in your life. I have exactly 2 friends and 2 sisters, plus my husband, and that's all I really need to feel loved and accepted.
@@meganwoehl5277yes, I'm a woman 😊 It's nice to know that some experiences are shared (even though they were unpleasant). Yay for us for moving on and getting stronger!
None of us are ever alone!!! This past year has tested me beyond my physical and emotional limits and on the brink of ending it, I decided instantly no Im not gonna be weak Im gonna FIGHT and survive- because that’s much harder. It’s an every day struggle. We all love you!!! 👌😪❤️
By far my favorite female artist and favorite song from her and she has alot. she has such an amazing voice ive ever heard. I think about a very special someone when here this song
For all your reactions, I truly appreciate it and I feel your sincere words and true feelings. It also reminds me of another reaction guy, be a good human. I wanted to share on the topic of spreading love to even a stranger. I didn't know their background story, but they needed money and he sounded honest, I trusted it in that moment and helped him out, unconditionally, no strings attached. I felt so good, so glad to help. It was like our paths were meant to cross that day for a reason..God works in mysterious ways. So that's what I wanted to say.
The song can be summed up in a single adjective: Devastating. Yes, it's sad and gorgeous and moving, but all that comes together so powerfully, it rises to that level - devastating.
I've never seen your channel before, and I haven't even gotten to the song yet, but your empathy already has me crying along with you. Bless people like you who are able to feel so deeply and empathize with other people's struggles. ❤️
I can't believe I'm a sub and missed this. My gosh, I am trying to send you all the love I've got for your father, and your brother, and you as well. You deserve all of the kindness and love in the world. You are a kind man, a great man. And I hope you find the strength to keep pushing on. ❤
That's a very edgy song. It touches s many tender spots in my life. I'm 71, I've suffered from many types of depression since I was 12 years old. I was in my 30's when a name was given to it, Bipolar. I wish it had a different label, but I'm good with it for most part. Please to anyone thinking about suicide, if you succeed it will be your final thought and no redo, do over. Everyone has something to give. As I grew up my gift from God is my humor. I try to leave everyone I meet with at least a smile. God bless... and you can talk to him out loud anytime, and every where. People often let me at the front of the line, or walk faster😊.
Sending you so much love my brother!! We’ve been in the valley, all of us! But you’re right, you have brought me up from a pit of misery on my journey from cancer to health!! ❤❤❤I love Evanescence…Amy’s voice is beyond angelic!
hey man, think you got a beautiful soul, my sister ended her life however long ago, cos every day it won't stop hurting. this song doesn't quell the sadness but that voice will wrap you up in a comfortable catharsis. keep finding positives bro x
I have listened to that song once, and it effected me so much that I have avoided listening to it again. She has a few like that. I prefer her songs that rock hard.
Blessings to you and yours Rick. First time watcher, new fan in one minute. As we go into the celebration of Thanksgiving and further into Christmas, keep your family close and tight to strength and love.
Hey baby-boy I can’t catch you live, but I’ve been through sooo much over the past 10 years. I share my story with others and speak with groups. I’ve been called to help others in pain. I would be glad to talk with anyone who is suffering with pain of any kind… especially mental illness… the Lord has not brought me this far not to share. Mostly to just listen and let people know that someone truly does care! Love will always find a way and we need to learn how to show it! You’re a sweet soul and you keep it going baby! I’m proud of all you share and do!!
YOUR A AWSOME PERSON. I HAVE THEM DAYS EVERYDAY!!I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. SWEETY. I HAVE LOST BOTH PARENTS. AND MY SIBLINGS. I JUST LOST MY TRIPLE BOY'S❤❤ IT'S JUST. ME NOW
I am sending prayers to you and your brother. This bands lyrics are deep and dark. Be careful listening to some of their songs. Especially if you've lost someone to death. Amy Lee has the best angelic voice I have ever heard. This song was about her loosing her little sister that was 6 at the time.
I still have the slug from 25 years ago. Still bottle things, but it takes a toll. But I got most of it out of the mud. You are correct that if you are having issues you need to have a conversation with someone you trust.
Brother's and sister's, never give up. Our kingdom is not of this world. We are just passing through this kingdom who Satan is the god of. This isn't our true home. He knew us before the womb.
I appreciate your positivity, but what I always hear is "the dark times will end" or "live the life you want or derserve.": what if that never happens? Or is the the life I do derserve? At one time, this was my theme song, all about death and pain. I have a son, stolen from me, that is the only reason I don't try to die again, but I promise you: it gets harder to make the case for staying every single day. Every single day.
You have a great channel brother, I enjoy seeing your music reactions and your words at the start of this video were very relevant and well said. I am watching all the way in New Zealand 🇳🇿 I reckon a great song you should check out is Audioslave - The Last Remaining Light ✌🏼 peace
Been fighting suicide tendencies since age 10 I'm 62 now was dead once Feb 20 1990 you know what keeps me going my love of music say I'm wanting to say eff it then i hear a group i like is releasing new album ir coming out on tour then guess what ending my life 75% B S 15% ok only 10% worth being here every decade past 20 has gotten worse turned 60 2022 not a damn good thing has happened
maybe I found this for a reason. I have suicidal thoughts every single night. I was born alone, grown up on the street, been throw the war in 1999, i started using drugs in the army, and I was kidnapped, illegally arrest when I was just 25, they have torched me and beating shit out of me for 3 4 hours every day for 2 weeks. I lost so many people I loved, and when now I am on a program, methadone clinic, I got PTSD reallyy bad every single night I fight with devils. I have a wife and young boy, I have what to leave for, and after been so many times through really hard shits, no meter how many time I staned up, they have broken me finally this summer. I lost my job just because I am from Serbia and I can;t find another one, I dont eat so my son could eat. And I can;t deal with all this shits anymore. When i saw u how u cry I felt you and yr pain, I am sorry but I can;t see waay out from wher I am now. It doesnt even metter who is guilty and why, I cant deal with so much pain and blood mpistcres every night with knwoing that my boy dont have nothing more but bread... I am sorry for this coomment as well. I have friends, wife, but I went throuh so many pain and shit in my life that they cant help me, I ll be probably be dead by this summer because I am stiil fighthing because I guess I am not born suicidal. Sorry about this somment anywaym, yr tears opens me up and this song
Hey brother…you’re not alone. I see you, and I’m praying for you. Keep trudging through the suck, you got this, man. I love you, brother. I mean that…reach out here and let’s talk my brother
Please share your pain with your wife. The pain she'll go through if you pass away will probably be stronger than what you feel now. I wish you peace...
Amy wrote this song for her younger sister, who passed away, in what i believe was a drowning accident, when they were very young. People mistake "My Immortal". for this song. Amy has explained this, in interviews. Very powerful and haunting. ✌💙
He should definitely listen to 'My Immortal' as well. Amy Lee is awesome when she rocks out, but her slower pieces are magical.
She died of an undisclosed illness, one that Amy Lee said that she first found out when she was only 6 on a playground...I couldn't imagine the horror... Something that surely traumatized her at such an early age.
6:58
Amy Lee: Don't cry
Everyone: Cries
"Understanding" is another sad one from them that feels topical.
It's sad that people always look for so many reasons to hate each other. Quite often for such mundane things like who we believe in, or our lack of belief, or the things that make us look different from one another, or the people we want to love and live with, or the person we want to be and identify as, often seeing struggles or kindness as weakness. The world is so full of so much hate and suffering, and even in the western world where we live somewhat peacefully and comfortably, we still cannot bring ourselves to just accept and help one another, to strive to make this world a better place for all of us.
The emotion that Amy Lee conveys singing this song is truly heart wrenching, you can feel her pain 😭.
I get teary eyed every time I hear it
Same here here bro. Every freaking time, tears....
The last line completely kills me every time...
"Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping
Hello I'm still here
All that's left of yesterday"
❤Im so gladyou liked it brother. This band has reallyhelpedme threw my dark days. Their music touchesyour soul.
Martin, though I may not know you, I want you to know you are not alone and people care. The world is a better place with YOU in it. Look at now and what you have done to help others. Sharing this song with OkayRickk and for others who feel the same, you are a light. You are a hero
@@dallasthedynamitetripawd9163 thank you so much. Im in tears reading your comment i pray your well and happy and everyone on this great family sending hugs to you. ❤️❤️🤘
My immortal... ugh. Played on the radio as I had to commit my spouse. I still cry, but that song is beautiful. Amy Lee, man.
Isn't it funny how random vibrations can be heard in a way to brighten the darkest corners of the soul.
Everything Thank you
This song was written about her 3 year old sister who died. Try Far from heaven. She wrote that after her brother died of epilepsy. Both are haunting.
One hauntingly beautiful song. Love Amy Lee
Okayrickk, thank you so much for the wonderful commentary before the song started, you're such a wonderful person and even though I may not know you personally, I already just love you! Thank you again for such a wonderful and uplifting message! You made my day! 🩷
Amy Lees singing will touch your heart an soul ❤️
Reaction channels are really about connecting us to someone that cares, The music is the background, a theme, a poem, to pray over together
Damn! I've not heard that song before, but that really really got me!
Amy has written several songs about this same subject. Her little sister passed away when they both were very young, and this obviously marked her forever. She wrote "My Immortal", "Hello", "Like You" and I'm sure some other songs about her sister. All of them just as soul crushing.

Your constant positivity, open emotions with your thoughts/struggles are a light to those who need it! ❤

Just started the vid. I already know you gone cry.... Hell I'm gone cry.... She was astounding in this song.
First song I learned to play on the piano since it hit me so hard, having many friends die in my past.
Amen brother God bless you 🙏
You gotta listen "Evanescence - My immortal" too and make reaction video!
I fucking love this song 😂
I have listened to that song once, and it effected me so much that I have avoided listening to it again. She has a few like that. I prefer her songs that rock hard.
Hope you're okay ❤
😍
This song and a song in their 2nd album called ‘like you’ is for her sister
I can’t get over how much it moves me when men showing their emotions, because I know men deserve this! I love you all ngl❤
You should listen to their song my immortal.I cried.Amy Lee has an amazing voice.😢😢😢
Blessings to you and yours Rick. First time watcher, new fan in one minute. As we go into the celebration of Thanksgiving and further into Christmas, keep your family close and tight to strength and love.
When i lost my wife and daughter. I had a great friend to be there. Sadly she committed suicide. Rose every time i hear this. I think of you.
I wish you peace
Much love
Easily the best song off Fallen.

You kwon "Bloodywood - "Jee Veerey" ft. Raoul Kerr" ? Listen 💙
So what's the s song that she made for her sister? Im confused
Worst part about this song is that it was from Amy's personal experience
My understanding is that she does not perform this song live.
maybe I found this for a reason. I have suicidal thoughts every single night. I was born alone, grown up on the street, been throw the war in 1999, i started using drugs in the army, and I was kidnapped, illegally arrest when I was just 25, they have torched me and beating shit out of me for 3 4 hours every day for 2 weeks.

Good reaction, but bro, you don't sing along to a song you've never heard before (clickbait)
