What I love about Evanescence is that everything comes straight from Amy's heart and pure, real emotion. Nothing is fake, cheeky love songs like our so high esteemed pop artists. This song is a perfect example; you just hear it in her voice that she means every word. It brings me to tears.
"Grief, I've learned, is really just love. It's all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, & in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love w/ no place to go"-- Jamie Anderson
That is a very good description of the way I felt when my wife of 18 years and I called it quits. Damn near killed me and that is no exaggeration. My advice to anyone going through something similar? Make sure you have some healthy coping mechanisms.
i have no more love left to give, i'm just an emty vessel of my former self. I've become so bitter and cynical because of tough situations i've faced in life and learned that no one is to be trusted let alone loved except my family. Treasure your loved ones and love yourselves. Why am i writing this
Everytime listening to "Hello" and "Like You", it is not just like listening to a song. It's more feeling, that I can feel how devastated Amy losing her sister.
gxfan039 I haven't personally experienced anything bad but i always enjoy such melancholy songs very much because i am quite depressive and have a dark mind so such songs always appeal to me.
My older sister committed suicide shortly after my mum died of cancer. She was the only one who understood how I feel so to lose her was absolutely devastating. This song puts a lump in my throat. It's beautiful
I often feel like attempting again. My mom passed in 2017 unexpectedly. I have BPD and she's the only one in my family who knows how to deal with me- or who wanted to. It's been hard. I've had many days/nights where i just laid on her grave.

My big sister passed away 6 months ago at 33 years old...she fought cancer 3 long years all the while my parents and I helplessly saw her suffer until she passed...I miss my only sister and feel lost without her...this song brought me to tears bc I feel so much guilt that she suffered and died and I still live and breathe...I will always have a huge hole in my heart that no one can fill like my sister did!
There's no one that can replace your sister, but you must stay strong and keep happy; that's what she would have wanted. Don't hurt yourself, she would have hated that. Just stay strong, for the people you've lost.
I lost both my parents as a child and ended up in social care. I was never really allowed to grieve. I was just supposed to function. If we showed signs of too much sadness we were medicated. So I tried to be ok on the outside. But I wanted to lie down with my parents sometimes too. I just could never tell anyone.
Oh my gawd... Terribly sorry for your loss. I lost my mother a year ago on June 18th of 2020 died of lung cancer, and she battled it for 5 years...(I miss her so much)
I didn't lose me parents but I never knew my dad and my mom was addicted to meth so I was in social care as well and that shit was an entire struggle alone I was separated from my sibling early on so life just got really hard for way to long... you are not alone
🥺 I hardly grew up with my parents.. they're narcissists, never been there, have other families, I was left with my grandpa who died of sadness and since then my heart went hollow Nothing has changed in this "family" but me. Sometimes I turn off the switch bcuz griefing is just too damn hard when you're left alone, I can be turned off for months, it helps me function but I really feel dead inside, can't even cry That's horrible
This makes me think of my mama. She killed herself a month and a half ago. I miss her everyday, and it's painful to not have her with me. I wish I could talk to her and see her just one more time. Love you, Mama.
My sister died a few days ago. She was killed by a reckless driver. Last night I ran to her grave and dug my fingers into the dirt and just laid over her and bawled. I found myself coming back to this song today.
I’m 46. My mum has been horrible to me all my life. I’ve tried for 42 years to love her. I can’t any more. I let go. This song ……. Like you at your place in life …different to mine…... speaks to our souls… God bless you Timothy. Much love. Look for what to be grateful for and thankful for. Forgot the rest friend X
My Mother passed on on June 18th of 2020 (last year), and i had a whole traumatic experience with funerals. Plus I listened to this song when I was 10 years old. And now, Everytime i see the word "Sis" i replace it with the word, "Mom". I miss her so much.
I love this song...but any time I listen to it I want to cry. Knowing that this song is about Amy Lee's sister who passed away, it hurts me. Most of the time I wish that I could go up to her and give Amy a hug and tell her it's ok. But remember this people. Your not alone, no matter what they told you... your not alone
Evanescence is one of the greatest bands that anybody can ever come across... Beautiful composition.. very soleful lyrics... always pierces many hearts... The fact that they are a bit underrated saddens me.. Amy Lee is the best
I listened to this song alot the first years after my brother died. I can really identify with her pain in this song and it helps to hear someone sing the pain when you can't sing yourself.
When I hear this song, it makes me think of my mom. It's hard to let go, it was sudden when I lost her. To console my grief, I find my lost comfort in this song, we all have our stories but we could all relate. :')
Everyone has always told me I sing like Amy Lee... now I realize how much I relate to her too... I lost my little brother four years ago within a few weeks He was six years old... and the most innocent soul you could’ve ever met Rest In Peace Noah...💜
This song brings tears to my eyes all the time bc I lost my papa to cancer and might lose my best friend due to a tumor. I'm sorry for the people who lost the people who you love the most. 😪😪😪😥😥😥
No words, this is a classic...and it breaks my heart every time I hear it. This whole album is in my iPod and I have the physical album too. Amy is one of a kind. Her voice is what gives the meaningful lyrics even more meaning. Your music changed everything and is everything. Thank you for existing and sharing your gifts with the world Amy Lee. 💖
This is such a sad and powerful song. When i first listened to this I started to cry, it's emotional and shows that even those u loved and care for are gone they'll always be with u no matter what in memory, heart and spirit.😭😢🤧
When my 19 year old son was brutally killed, I'd go to his grave just to be in the darkness and silence with him, often challenging the universe to come and take my life as well. I was/still am a shell of who I was before. I miss his smile, his humor, the way he would as a little boy look up at me, holding my hand and say I was the "prettiest mommy in the whole world". For that moment, I'd feel as if I was. 24 years have passed now, and the pain at times still brings me to my knees. If only I could've prevented what happened, or halted time to move him out of harm's way-- I'd give my own life to do so. Until We Meet again, Tom. I love you. For always .❤
I'm so, SO sorry to hear what happened. I wish to give you all the strength in the world, but there's nothing, not anything I could say to make things better for you. God rest their soul. And God bless and protect you.
My love and heartfelt feelings to you, in memory of my own stillborn son, Kirk, 30 years ago. The pain never really goes away, but you find a way to live with it and keep them in your heart.
I remember my late husband saying when his little brother passed away fighting in Iraq that he hated living without him. Then when he passed away 7 years later his sister my kids aunt was tortured the same way without her brother before she passed. Such a sad song but I can understand the lyrics. I miss my husband so much every day even though it's been 3 years almost since he passed
Sorry for your loss I can't imagine losing a partner, especially, but no more importantly, one you've had children with. I hope things are okay for your family now.
Cheryl Waghorne ty. It took me a few years to get better but 6 months after that comment I met a man who took my broken heart and fixed it for me. Not only did he come with a bonus daughter for me he took my two in as his own. And we are now set to get married April 24,2021
This song and hello make me think a lot about my little sister Maisy who passed away when she was 3 years old and I was only 6 years old. She has been my best friend since the day she was born. This song haunts me to this day and she will forever have all of me. R.I.P Maisy💔💔💔💔I love you with all my heart
If you just casually listen to evanescence it’s still beautiful but when you really listen to their catalog in depth and meditate on the lyrics it is extraordinarily dark and heavy and Amy dares to go to naked depths in her lyrics that so few have the courage to go to which is why I adore her so much she’s unbelievably strong and brave given everything she’s endured
This song is a clear and perfect narration of the various feelings that mourning brings us. She says, "i'm not grieving for you, i'm coming for you". Here in my opinion, it's like the denial and acceptance stage. First she says that she is NOT in grieving, because she was supposed to be going for her, that is... she meant that she too was dying. That he was going to meet his sister and said that where she is, there's room for two. I interpreted everything that way, and I think it's Amy's heaviest, deepest lyrics. Really really sad... but I love the melody.😢💙
I play this song on constant repeat whenever I can because my parents don't allow me to listen to this type of music. This reminds me of my grandmother's passing when I was in 7th grade. Now I'm a junior in high school and her loss still hurts and I'm never allowed to express my feelings so they're all bundled up inside me eating away at the happy girl my grandmother left behind. I felt so alone (and still do) until I found this song. Thank you Amy Lee for helping me express some of what I'm going through even if I still feel alone and left in the dark. RIP Amy's sis and RIP grandma. I'll come for you, soon.
There is *NO* shame in crying, being sad, or grieving. Grieving is done by everyone differently. Those who shame you for it do not deserve you. They are monsters, in the end.
I was listening to this while I was sitting in my academic enrichment class and I decided to look up the lyrics and copy them down on a piece of paper and saw the "sis" part so I looked it up and almost cried in class.
I feel ya... I didn't really hear the "sis" until I had listened to it a ton of times, and then looked up the lyrics and saw it was really said in the song and learned the backstory (for those who don't know, her younger sister died when she was only 3 years old, of an unidentified disease... Amy was only 6 at the time, and was good friends with her sis)
I have found myself constantly listening to this song. My dad just passed and it is deeply appealing to my emotions and constant grieving. I'm about to start my senior year of highschool without him and this is possibly the worst thing I could have ever imagined. It's unreal. this song sums up all the madness going through my mind.
I'll pray too, man... stay as strong as possible, and don't forget, crying is NOT a sign of weakness. If you need to cry, cry, don't let ANYONE, not even *YOURSELF* tell you otherwise.
One of the lyrics in this song is: "And as we lay in silent bliss, I know you'll 'member me." (Instead of "remember.") It's as if they were children again talking to each other. My tears are on the floor.
Maybe it's because we just read it, but this song makes me think of Ophelia from Hamlet, either singing this in her madness to the prince she believes is dead, or having Laertes sing this to her before setting off for his own suicidal revenge. I don't know, but it's really powerful.
Not about a sister.. but I lost my ESA, and my beautiful cat Biscuit a week ago, and all I've felt is being numb and lost without her. I just want to be with her, I can't imagine living without her any longer. I can't remember a day she wasn't with me. From bottle feeding her to staying by her side when she had kittens, and during her cancer.. to go from her soft paws clinging to me, wiping my tears in her fur and just listening when I needed her. She died in my arms that night.. and I can't forget seeing her trying to hold on for me. When I whispered to her.. letting her know it was okay to go, she finally did. No one else understands what the pain is like, since I lost her life has become a downwards spiral. She truly was my angel. I stare at her urn every day and every night. Wishing it was a dream. I know I'll need a new support animal soon, but I don't feel like I could ever move on, or connect to another like I did her. The day I brought her ashes home all I could do was listen to this song, reflecting my pain. My partner, my family.. no one understands how much this has hurt me. They expect me to move on but I just know I can't. I want to be with her. I wish I was in her urn with her. I wish it was me. After her surgery she was never the same, and I wish I could have done more for her. I feel like it's my fault. I feel like I failed her. I just want the pain to stop, and I want to be with my baby again.
I am so sorry for loss of Biscuit. I know, first hand, that losing an anima family member l is so difficult and often times more so than losing a human family member. I struggle daily with the loss of my cats who have past, and my sister. This song is fitting for all. The only reasons I'm still here are for the cats still in my life. They are my everything. I hope you are holding on. Biscuit sounds wonderful And I'm certain is watching over you and playing with my babies. Purr in Paradise Biscuit. ❤
It seems that this song is not only for Sister Amy, oh my God ... I think only those who have lost a loved one will understand it. Appreciate what you have. Be kind to your loved ones.
A distant but equally loved friend of mine was killed in a car crash in 2008. I was in 3rd grade. She was in 4th. I remember we all had a gathering in the school garden. It rained that night. I only found this song in 2013. It still brings back memories.
I HAVE MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS AND JUST REMEMBERED THIS SONG. THANK YOU SO MUCH IF YOU EVER COME TO PUERTO RICO YOU WILL BRING ME SO MANY MEMORIES I WOULD BE ETERNALLY THANKFUL.
Actually Amy's sister didn't die from cancer, as we know, she died from an unidentified illness. Either not given to the public from the family or just still unknown. It's really sad :(
This song always makes me ball my eyes out because the first time I heard it it was shortly after my best friend who was like a sister to me died in a car accident ... R.I.P Sissy Charlotte 😢😭
I'm always calling for you SIS and MOM. My mom always told me when my sister passed at 13 days old, that I looked exactly like her. It helped my mom to cope with her loss. But I've lost soo many amazing people. I understand wanting to be like them. I'm always calling for you.
This song makes me think of my friend Kenneth... He died three years ago when we were still in high school... I still miss him every single day... I long to be like you Kenneth, rest in peace
3:40 It should be "As we lay in silent bliss I know you remember me" not "As we lay in silence...". I think that's the best line of the song. Thanks for the upload!
this is the most sad sounding song I've ever heard and I have heard songs like this I feel bad for Amy and the bad things that happened in the past with her.
I have listened to all kinds of metal music for over 40years now and I can whole heartedly say that this is without a doubt the darkest song I’ve ever heard. Amy just puts everything she has in this. I’ve only seen them live once and really wanted to hear this song but it wasn’t in the set. Maybe next time.
When I heard this song from the Open Dorr album, I did not know it was about her sister. It makes me feel awkward now. I got this beautiful vision of Amy singing next to a grave where a female grim reaper was sitting watching her lamenting. I made a Halloween costume from the vision I had. That was back in 2006, after the album was released. In spite of the pain it took to write "Like You", it is very beautiful. * To the maker of this video, thank you for telling the story behind the song!
The song plus you comments supporting the song, or memory, really puts me tears . I feel like staying with my sister to make sure she's ok. Yeah I'm a young teen, and I still live with her. But anyone could feel this. 😭😭😭😭😭
I thought of my mom when i listened to this & i started crying near the end because my mom died when i was 9 yrs old. I long to be like you, mom, lie cold in the ground like you did. there's room inside for two *bursts into tears*
Amy Lee will always remain in my heart, she has always accompanied me in my adolescence, then I think she is a really great artist.It is truly to be admired, because despite its success it has always remained the same
Evenessance is my all time favorite female rock vocalist. Her songs are haunting an its very unique. Id say my second favorite is in this moment then halestorm. Burning witches are really underated. They are super talented.
im a long time fan and im embarrassed to admit ive never paid much attention to Amy Lee's lyrics. Ikik. Honestly i never really know what shes talking about. I would just marvel at her voice and the band overall as they are the greatest band ive ever heard, but i read the comments and was quickly intrigued in the lyrics of this song and i am blown away. Such an honest, heartbreaking and unorthadox take on grief (or lack thereof.) Just when i thought i'd heard everything thing this band had to offer, alas there is so much more. Amazing.
This reminds me of my grandparents. Also a time when was much happier. I miss them :'( it also doesn't help my mom always talks about tomorrow not being promised for her. As true as it may be, I struggle with depression enough not to hear that day in and out. Also not close with both siblings so I guess I gotta deal on my own
If you need help, seek help. You deserve it, and no one can change that. Depression, though it MAY be classified as a mental disorder (I'm not sure), it is PURELY a curse and a disease. May they rest in peace, and walk with angels.
Suicide is one of the worst things to deal with, equal to losing someone you love naturally. It leaves you asking why they did it, it leaves you thinking you could have done something differently. But know, you did all you could. Hopefully, they're resting peacefully. God rest her soul, and let them continue on for eternity, in a peaceful, happy state.
GOD BLESS AMY LEE AND HER FAMILY I HOPE HER SISTER RESTS IN PEACE. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE PAIN SHE WENT THROUGH AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE I KNOW (AND I THINK WE ALL DO) HOW IT FILLS TO LOOSE A LOVED ONE (INCLUDING PETS.) IT HURTS, IT WILL ALWAYS HURT, BUT I HOPE ALL OUR WOUNDS (BOTH PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WEATHER OR NOT IT HAS TO DO WITH DEATH,) WILL BE HEALED SOMEDAY AND MAY THE DEAD ALL RIP. NO MATTER WERE AMY LEE IS I HOPE HER LIL SISTER IS WITH HER IN SPIRIT. :) GOD BLESS YOU AMY YOUR AN AWESOME SINGER I LOVE YOUR BAND. :D
This made me cry because I started to have flashbacks of my cat Maxy and he passed away o. December 8 at 5:55 p.m., 2017 and I cried to death and was very sad and had a broken heart of a lost friend and still can't let go of it and I still mourn for him to this day.😭😭😭😭😭😭
I lost my dad, in a way, and mom in the same way They are both still alive, don't worry (well, not my REAL dad hopefully. He almost killed me.) But both my parents have become abusive and cold towards me, like they are different people. I lost the loving parents I once knew. And this is why I'm afraid to love. I am scared, scared that others I love will also become so cold to me. My parents also raped me, and I once sas naked pictures of myself on their phones. I never knew those pictures existed. The people supposed to teach me love and how to properly live destroyed every last bit of me. I got a secret boyfriend a few months ago. I just hope he doesn't do the same thing as my parents. I will admit I am very scared he will be cold and abusive sometime in the future. It tears me apart but he seems so good and actually loving. 💕 just remember, even if you are in an abusive situation you can't get out of, it can always get better, in some way, eventually. I'm just waiting for my time to feel better. I can survive... Just need to tell myself that for another 4 years. Then I can be free.
@@gliturkat6167 Sweetie, my heart breaks for you. There is help out there for you -- you are a teenager now, go online and look for free counseling available in your area -- Jewish Family and Children's Services is a good one (and they help everyone, you don't need to be Jewish at all). Your fears are actually justified, cuz we tend to be drawn to people who have similar traits to our cold or abusive parent or parents, who seem loving and different at first, but are actually also cold/abusive. If you go to a counselor and don't feel comfortable with them, try a different one, I had an amazing one when I was around 22 who helped me immensely to let go of some of my pain and start learning how to stick up for myself and find my own way to a healthier mind-set and more awareness of whether people around me were safe for me (emotionally) or not. I'm sending you loving energy, trust that there are good people out there, and look for them!!! And back away quickly if you realize someone is not safe!

Poor Amy. May your sister rest in peace.

@Jacob Taylor What an utterly ignorant comment.
Idk what's worse...the fact that my heart is breaking over this song or the fact that I'm not crying...
Idk BUT its ok if you cry, like my parents say
I cried the first time I heard it
Especially the line “lie cold in the ground like you”

Most of the time I wish that I could go up to her and give Amy a hug and tell her it's ok. But remember this people. Your not alone, no matter what they told you... your not alone
I lost my sister may 31st 2008. she was only five and everytime i hear this sing or "hello" I cry like a baby.
I'm sorry for your loss

Everyone has always told me I sing like Amy Lee...
now I realize how much I relate to her too...
I lost my little brother four years ago within a few weeks
He was six years old... and the most innocent soul you could’ve ever met
Rest In Peace Noah...💜
This song brings tears to my eyes all the time bc I lost my papa to cancer and might lose my best friend due to a tumor. I'm sorry for the people who lost the people who you love the most. 😪😪😪😥😥😥
my vather is right now in a hospital for a week, I'm 13 years old and I stay alone at home... I hope he will not die...
No words, this is a classic...and it breaks my heart every time I hear it. This whole album is in my iPod and I have the physical album too. Amy is one of a kind. Her voice is what gives the meaningful lyrics even more meaning. Your music changed everything and is everything. Thank you for existing and sharing your gifts with the world Amy Lee. 💖
I lost my little sister 10 days ago I'll gonna be crazy my only little sister
Am coming for you
sorry for your loss, i hope ur doing well
omg I'm so sorry. stay strong.
Stay strong and take care of yourself.
I am so sorry 😭😭 Rest in peace. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I know it's a year later but I hope your doing better and I'm sorry for your loss
This is such a sad and powerful song. When i first listened to this I started to cry, it's emotional and shows that even those u loved and care for are gone they'll always be with u no matter what in memory, heart and spirit.😭😢🤧
Amy Lee is one of those artists whose voice is unparallel to anyone else.
Disagree
The song is sad and all but god, the drop at the end slaps so hard.
When my 19 year old son was brutally killed, I'd go to his grave just to be in the darkness and silence with him, often challenging the universe to come and take my life as well. I was/still am a shell of who I was before. I miss his smile, his humor, the way he would as a little boy look up at me, holding my hand and say I was the "prettiest mommy in the whole world". For that moment, I'd feel as if I was. 24 years have passed now, and the pain at times still brings me to my knees. If only I could've prevented what happened, or halted time to move him out of harm's way-- I'd give my own life to do so. Until We Meet again, Tom. I love you. For always .❤
I don't think Evanescence will write such a beautiful, emotional song ever again.
To my baby who never made it out of my womb alive...
Sōhei Senshi I'm so sorry :(
You will be fine, your baby is your Angel now and you will be a lot of other babies and give he/she a lot of brothers/sisters. ♡♡♡
I'm so, SO sorry to hear what happened. I wish to give you all the strength in the world, but there's nothing, not anything I could say to make things better for you. God rest their soul. And God bless and protect you.
Same here darling.....rest in peace my beautiful anna elise
My love and heartfelt feelings to you, in memory of my own stillborn son, Kirk, 30 years ago. The pain never really goes away, but you find a way to live with it and keep them in your heart.
I remember my late husband saying when his little brother passed away fighting in Iraq that he hated living without him. Then when he passed away 7 years later his sister my kids aunt was tortured the same way without her brother before she passed. Such a sad song but I can understand the lyrics. I miss my husband so much every day even though it's been 3 years almost since he passed
alison Davis I know I'm late. sorry for your lose.
Sorry for your loss I can't imagine losing a partner, especially, but no more importantly, one you've had children with. I hope things are okay for your family now.
I've only just read this three years later, I hope your pain is easing and you are OK xxxxx
Cheryl Waghorne ty. It took me a few years to get better but 6 months after that comment I met a man who took my broken heart and fixed it for me. Not only did he come with a bonus daughter for me he took my two in as his own. And we are now set to get married April 24,2021
alison Davis I wish you all the love and happiness in the world 🥰🥰🥰🥰
This song and hello make me think a lot about my little sister Maisy who passed away when she was 3 years old and I was only 6 years old. She has been my best friend since the day she was born. This song haunts me to this day and she will forever have all of me. R.I.P Maisy💔💔💔💔I love you with all my heart
She will be forever in our hearts❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My sincere condolences to you.
I believe if I remember correctly, that's the same age Amy's sister Bonnie passed and how old Amy was when it happened.
How I wish people we love, never die.
it's hard to hear that without crying. I'm so sorry for you Amy
If you just casually listen to evanescence it’s still beautiful but when you really listen to their catalog in depth and meditate on the lyrics it is extraordinarily dark and heavy and Amy dares to go to naked depths in her lyrics that so few have the courage to go to which is why I adore her so much she’s unbelievably strong and brave given everything she’s endured
This song is a clear and perfect narration of the various feelings that mourning brings us. She says, "i'm not grieving for you, i'm coming for you". Here in my opinion, it's like the denial and acceptance stage. First she says that she is NOT in grieving, because she was supposed to be going for her, that is... she meant that she too was dying. That he was going to meet his sister and said that where she is, there's room for two. I interpreted everything that way, and I think it's Amy's heaviest, deepest lyrics. Really really sad... but I love the melody.😢💙
this song always gets me. R.I.P. babby bonnie
Went to concert here in Minneapolis and knocked out one of my bucket list. I ROCKED TF OUT AND I HAD A BLAST!!!!
I play this song on constant repeat whenever I can because my parents don't allow me to listen to this type of music. This reminds me of my grandmother's passing when I was in 7th grade. Now I'm a junior in high school and her loss still hurts and I'm never allowed to express my feelings so they're all bundled up inside me eating away at the happy girl my grandmother left behind. I felt so alone (and still do) until I found this song. Thank you Amy Lee for helping me express some of what I'm going through even if I still feel alone and left in the dark. RIP Amy's sis and RIP grandma. I'll come for you, soon.
REST IN PEACE EVERYONE THAT IS DEAD!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Why won’t they allow you to listen to whatever you want to?
There is *NO* shame in crying, being sad, or grieving. Grieving is done by everyone differently. Those who shame you for it do not deserve you. They are monsters, in the end.
I lost my mother to an accidental overdose and this song is what I felt the day of her funeralgod bless everyone who feels loss
I understand you ,suicidal,people that eat and drink a lot and use drugs (junkies)are mental weakful people.
God rest her soul. I hope things have become easier to go by, by now, may God rest her soul.
stephanie rice omg I so sorry. She didn’t deserve to go out that way. May she Rest In Peace
Dragonella TV Shut up
Evanescence give me feelings I never thought could be experienced
I was listening to this while I was sitting in my academic enrichment class and I decided to look up the lyrics and copy them down on a piece of paper and saw the "sis" part so I looked it up and almost cried in class.
I feel ya... I didn't really hear the "sis" until I had listened to it a ton of times, and then looked up the lyrics and saw it was really said in the song and learned the backstory (for those who don't know, her younger sister died when she was only 3 years old, of an unidentified disease... Amy was only 6 at the time, and was good friends with her sis)
Everytime I hear 'sis' I started to cry, it was a very emotional song Amy has sung and it's about her little sister death.😢
@CJ Sostrom Very interesting.
I have found myself constantly listening to this song. My dad just passed and it is deeply appealing to my emotions and constant grieving. I'm about to start my senior year of highschool without him and this is possibly the worst thing I could have ever imagined. It's unreal. this song sums up all the madness going through my mind.
You'll get through this. Stay strong.
I'M SO SORRY. :( I HOPE HE RESTS IN PEACE.
I know how you feel. I pray you can move through your tragedies.
I'll pray too, man... stay as strong as possible, and don't forget, crying is NOT a sign of weakness. If you need to cry, cry, don't let ANYONE, not even *YOURSELF* tell you otherwise.
Sorry for your loss God bless your poor sister hope she's safe in heaven
One of the lyrics in this song is: "And as we lay in silent bliss, I know you'll 'member me." (Instead of "remember.") It's as if they were children again talking to each other.
My tears are on the floor.
Lost my sister 5 years ago and love listen to this just to feel close to her ..
Maybe it's because we just read it, but this song makes me think of Ophelia from Hamlet, either singing this in her madness to the prince she believes is dead, or having Laertes sing this to her before setting off for his own suicidal revenge. I don't know, but it's really powerful.
Not a Gamer not a shamer
I feel this about my friend who passed as we where pratically brother and sister wish he was still here. :/
I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope thing have gotten better now, even if it's for a little bit. God rest his soul.
Not about a sister..
but I lost my ESA, and my beautiful cat Biscuit a week ago, and all I've felt is being numb and lost without her. I just want to be with her, I can't imagine living without her any longer. I can't remember a day she wasn't with me. From bottle feeding her to staying by her side when she had kittens, and during her cancer.. to go from her soft paws clinging to me, wiping my tears in her fur and just listening when I needed her. She died in my arms that night.. and I can't forget seeing her trying to hold on for me. When I whispered to her.. letting her know it was okay to go, she finally did.
No one else understands what the pain is like, since I lost her life has become a downwards spiral. She truly was my angel. I stare at her urn every day and every night. Wishing it was a dream. I know I'll need a new support animal soon, but I don't feel like I could ever move on, or connect to another like I did her.
The day I brought her ashes home all I could do was listen to this song, reflecting my pain. My partner, my family.. no one understands how much this has hurt me. They expect me to move on but I just know I can't.
I want to be with her. I wish I was in her urn with her. I wish it was me. After her surgery she was never the same, and I wish I could have done more for her. I feel like it's my fault. I feel like I failed her.
I just want the pain to stop, and I want to be with my baby again.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Please be as strong as you can, you will get through this, happiness will come again, even if it seems so far away.
I am so sorry for loss of Biscuit. I know, first hand, that losing an anima family member l is so difficult and often times more so than losing a human family member. I struggle daily with the loss of my cats who have past, and my sister. This song is fitting for all. The only reasons I'm still here are for the cats still in my life. They are my everything. I hope you are holding on. Biscuit sounds wonderful And I'm certain is watching over you and playing with my babies. Purr in Paradise Biscuit. ❤
It seems that this song is not only for Sister Amy, oh my God ... I think only those who have lost a loved one will understand it. Appreciate what you have. Be kind to your loved ones.
Aww man, this song sounds so depressing. But it still helped me with my sadness😭 I cried
on my god that was so sad.....god bless this poor woman
This song will rest in my heart forever...
A distant but equally loved friend of mine was killed in a car crash in 2008. I was in 3rd grade. She was in 4th. I remember we all had a gathering in the school garden. It rained that night. I only found this song in 2013. It still brings back memories.
I HAVE MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS AND JUST REMEMBERED THIS SONG. THANK YOU SO MUCH IF YOU EVER COME TO
PUERTO RICO YOU WILL BRING ME SO MANY MEMORIES I WOULD BE ETERNALLY THANKFUL.
3:19 Wow, the goosebumps are real ;-;
Westkana f
Westkana oh my god
Lol tell me about it ;-;
And 3:01
This women made death beautiful through the music.
This reminds me of my mom, I really miss her so much . love you mom 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Actually Amy's sister didn't die from cancer, as we know, she died from an unidentified illness. Either not given to the public from the family or just still unknown. It's really sad :(
This song breaks my heart & makes me want to cry everytime💔💔💔
This song always makes me ball my eyes out because the first time I heard it it was shortly after my best friend who was like a sister to me died in a car accident ... R.I.P Sissy Charlotte 😢😭
I'm always calling for you SIS and MOM. My mom always told me when my sister passed at 13 days old, that I looked exactly like her. It helped my mom to cope with her loss. But I've lost soo many amazing people. I understand wanting to be like them. I'm always calling for you.
i love all of evanescence's songs their all amazing in their own way,plus her voice it's so amazing.
This song makes me think of my friend Kenneth... He died three years ago when we were still in high school... I still miss him every single day... I long to be like you Kenneth, rest in peace
My older sister died four and a half years ago miss her like mad losing siblings is the worst pain ever
3:40 It should be "As we lay in silent bliss I know you remember me" not "As we lay in silence...". I think that's the best line of the song. Thanks for the upload!
"i long to be like you sis."
"I'm coming for you."
I cried at this whole song but, those to parts exactly had me in tears.. :/ I hope she's okay.
No matter what they told you, you're not alone! My favorite part 🖤
this is the most sad sounding song I've ever heard and I have heard songs like this I feel bad for Amy and the bad things that happened in the past with her.
This song is dedicated to the person I desperately need to forget so I can move on and live my life uneventfully and peacefully.
This song is just one of the most epic songs ever, rip amy's sister
I have listened to all kinds of metal music for over 40years now and I can whole heartedly say that this is without a doubt the darkest song I’ve ever heard. Amy just puts everything she has in this. I’ve only seen them live once and really wanted to hear this song but it wasn’t in the set. Maybe next time.
When I heard this song from the Open Dorr album, I did not know it was about her sister. It makes me feel awkward now. I got this beautiful vision of Amy singing next to a grave where a female grim reaper was sitting watching her lamenting. I made a Halloween costume from the vision I had. That was back in 2006, after the album was released. In spite of the pain it took to write "Like You", it is very beautiful. * To the maker of this video, thank you for telling the story behind the song!
Her voice is so beautiful 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I'm crying because this just speaks to me, I lost my little brother and I just want to see him again and be with him again
The song plus you comments supporting the song, or memory, really puts me tears . I feel like staying with my sister to make sure she's ok. Yeah I'm a young teen, and I still live with her. But anyone could feel this. 😭😭😭😭😭
Exactly :'(
Evanescence helps me with the worst times i always have bad days and evanescence helps their songs are just so beautiful
I thought of my mom when i listened to this & i started crying near the end because my mom died when i was 9 yrs old. I long to be like you, mom, lie cold in the ground like you did. there's room inside for two *bursts into tears*
AlexTheGamingNinja I'm sorry for your loss I know your pain I lost my mom when I was 10 years old
I too lost my mom and I sang this after viewing her body. And her funeral.
I'm sorry for your loss, may she rest in peace. And for both Nettie Young and Cat lover 1362, I hope your mothers rest easily too.
A melodia dessa música é muito impactante. A única de amy lee que me faz chorar .
I never lost someone but this song makes me feel like I did
I truly feel for Amy, you can hear her pain for her sister😢 I cry Everytime I hear this or Hello.
Amy Lee will always remain in my heart, she has always accompanied me in my adolescence, then I think she is a really great artist.It is truly to be admired, because despite its success it has always remained the same
This music makes me calm down every time I'm glad ☺
Evenessance is my all time favorite female rock vocalist. Her songs are haunting an its very unique. Id say my second favorite is in this moment then halestorm. Burning witches are really underated. They are super talented.
im a long time fan and im embarrassed to admit ive never paid much attention to Amy Lee's lyrics. Ikik. Honestly i never really know what shes talking about. I would just marvel at her voice and the band overall as they are the greatest band ive ever heard, but i read the comments and was quickly intrigued in the lyrics of this song and i am blown away. Such an honest, heartbreaking and unorthadox take on grief (or lack thereof.) Just when i thought i'd heard everything thing this band had to offer, alas there is so much more. Amazing.
silent bliss
My twin brothers both passed away as a child, but now i have two treasures as siblings to care for.
EXCELLENT!! Well done, thank you!! 🌹
This reminds me of my grandparents. Also a time when was much happier. I miss them :'( it also doesn't help my mom always talks about tomorrow not being promised for her. As true as it may be, I struggle with depression enough not to hear that day in and out. Also not close with both siblings so I guess I gotta deal on my own
If you need help, seek help. You deserve it, and no one can change that. Depression, though it MAY be classified as a mental disorder (I'm not sure), it is PURELY a curse and a disease. May they rest in peace, and walk with angels.
Thats a very beautiful Song and so sad i must crying when i hear this song. This Song remember me on my Friend. She killed herself.....:((((.
Thanks
Suicide is one of the worst things to deal with, equal to losing someone you love naturally. It leaves you asking why they did it, it leaves you thinking you could have done something differently. But know, you did all you could. Hopefully, they're resting peacefully. God rest her soul, and let them continue on for eternity, in a peaceful, happy state.
GOD BLESS AMY LEE AND HER FAMILY I HOPE HER SISTER RESTS IN PEACE. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE PAIN SHE WENT THROUGH AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE I KNOW (AND I THINK WE ALL DO) HOW IT FILLS TO LOOSE A LOVED ONE (INCLUDING PETS.) IT HURTS, IT WILL ALWAYS HURT, BUT I HOPE ALL OUR WOUNDS (BOTH PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WEATHER OR NOT IT HAS TO DO WITH DEATH,) WILL BE HEALED SOMEDAY AND MAY THE DEAD ALL RIP. NO MATTER WERE AMY LEE IS I HOPE HER LIL SISTER IS WITH HER IN SPIRIT. :) GOD BLESS YOU AMY YOUR AN AWESOME SINGER I LOVE YOUR BAND. :D
I know her pain a lot more then some people think I lost my mother in 1997 I was 2 I'm now 21 and miss her everyday
+Amber Boggs
I'M SORRY FOR UR LOSS MY FRIEND. :( HOPE U AND UR FAMILY R OK. ^_^
This made me cry because I started to have flashbacks of my cat Maxy and he passed away o. December 8 at 5:55 p.m., 2017 and I cried to death and was very sad and had a broken heart of a lost friend and still can't let go of it and I still mourn for him to this day.😭😭😭😭😭😭
I lost my dad, in a way, and mom in the same way
They are both still alive, don't worry (well, not my REAL dad hopefully. He almost killed me.)
But both my parents have become abusive and cold towards me, like they are different people. I lost the loving parents I once knew. And this is why I'm afraid to love. I am scared, scared that others I love will also become so cold to me. My parents also raped me, and I once sas naked pictures of myself on their phones. I never knew those pictures existed. The people supposed to teach me love and how to properly live destroyed every last bit of me. I got a secret boyfriend a few months ago. I just hope he doesn't do the same thing as my parents. I will admit I am very scared he will be cold and abusive sometime in the future. It tears me apart but he seems so good and actually loving. 💕 just remember, even if you are in an abusive situation you can't get out of, it can always get better, in some way, eventually. I'm just waiting for my time to feel better. I can survive... Just need to tell myself that for another 4 years. Then I can be free.
@@gliturkat6167 Sweetie, my heart breaks for you. There is help out there for you -- you are a teenager now, go online and look for free counseling available in your area -- Jewish Family and Children's Services is a good one (and they help everyone, you don't need to be Jewish at all). Your fears are actually justified, cuz we tend to be drawn to people who have similar traits to our cold or abusive parent or parents, who seem loving and different at first, but are actually also cold/abusive. If you go to a counselor and don't feel comfortable with them, try a different one, I had an amazing one when I was around 22 who helped me immensely to let go of some of my pain and start learning how to stick up for myself and find my own way to a healthier mind-set and more awareness of whether people around me were safe for me (emotionally) or not. I'm sending you loving energy, trust that there are good people out there, and look for them!!! And back away quickly if you realize someone is not safe!
2:44 until the end is the most amazing constructed part of a song they ever made and in the top 10 ever
Every time I hear this, I replace the word “sis” with “dad”😢
WHAT!?! YOUR DAD DIED!?! 😨
Soon, you'll see your dad😢.....
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Me too.
LOL
This song works for another relationships not just sisterhood. I like that about it.
*🎵theres room inside for two and im not grieving for you🎵* *🎵I'm coming for you🎵* *you're not alone🎵* *🎵no matter what they to you your not alone!🎵* *🎵I'll be right right beside you forevermore🎵*

this song always makes me cry...
