This song brings me to tears EVERY TIME!!!!!!! I lost a child 22 years ago..... and Her angelic voice makes me cry thinking about my son. He is my immortal!!!!
I'm sitting here staring at my husband's ashes, he died 2 years ago at 52yrs old, and i fell every word she sings every time i hear it. It's strangely sad and comforting at the same time.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad to ptsd related suicide a long while ago and I think about him whenever I hear many songs. Especially this one. I have his ashes here too and theyre in my emergwncy go box because as much as i can understand why i cant let go. I hope you are doing okay xxx
@@tarawiseman8785 oh no, I'm so sorry hun. My heart goes out to you. My dad was in vietnam and was messed up. I understand how hard watching what they go through does. Prayers
@@SGTJDerek The best friends on the updated recording of Break In are vocally so so gorgeous together! Amy and Lzzy are easily two of my all-time favorite singers.
Yes her voice is stunning but pair that with poetic lyrics and the musical arrangements this song just hit it out of the park it's why it has like billions of views. Imho one of the greatest songs ever recorded. Or at least its on the list of all time greats. It will be a classic forever.
One of the most beautiful songs, her voice is stunning. Some theories suggest that she's the one who has passed as she never touches the ground, so gorgeous. You should listen to 'Call Me When You're Sober' next, her vocals on that are incredible
Man, I'm loving your reactions. It's bringing back all the emotions I had first listening to these artists. Your honesty & rawness are refreshing. Keep it up, man. Great work. Thank you.
Amy is the queen of female vocalists. So many big songs to pick from. My favorite Evanescence 'video' is "EVERYBODY'S FOOL". Amy deserves an Emmy for her acting performance in the video. ❤❤
Hers is the voice of an angel. Every syllable just seems to infiltrate every fiber of your being. I personally feel hers is the greatest voice ever in the history of man and even though that's impossible to gauge I am supremely confident it is true.
As you said, this song is heavy on loss. It’s about losing someone and the spirit that lingers. I wanted to add to your commentary about how symbolic the video is too. It’s in black & white, she is dressed in all white, bandaged up, and her feet never touch the ground. The guy is dressed as though he just left a funeral. In the video she is playing a spirit who has passed on and the lyrics are the guys perspective. Very well done song and video! And to answer your question, even though they were 15/16 when they wrote the song, this and Bring Me To Life came out on the same album (Fallen) in 2003 when Amy was 21/22. This video was shot in October of that year. So this isn’t her voice from when she was 15 lol but still very impressive and mature as you said for being that age! Her voice is still my favorite after 20 years of listening to it.
This song was mostly written by ex-cofounder Ben Moody (guy on the piano), and Amy (singer) wrote the bridge. The song was mostly his and dedicated the song to his grandfather. Some people speculate it’s about Amy’s sister, who she lost when she was around 6 years old, but it’s not. ‘Hello’ and ‘Like You’ are about Amy’s sister.
you know this song has such a depth, for me it reminds me of alle the persons i lost forever and they still hauting me. this song is a masterpiece and will ever be one
Most people say that it was written about her little sister who passed away at the age of 3. Ben Moody had also just lost his grandfather to whom he was especially close.
@@mayday6880yes I think it’s also the song hello is also one of the only songs she doesn’t do in her live shows think there was only video of her doing hello but she didn’t get to finish the song and think had to take a break. Haven’t been able to see it anywhere.
Found you as I was binging people reacting to hard hitting songs. Two songs by this one, I'd love to see you listen to. Both written in memory of Amy Lee's sister. Hello and Like You Some lines in there are real gut punchers. Punching your stomach so hard that they can squeeze your heart dry. Her writing alone is brilliant, and how she delivers the lines brings it to another level.
This song should have hit #1. She's pitch perfect. If you look again in the video when she's at the water fountain, you'll see bullet holes in the wall from WWII.
Great reaction. If you want something harder try Going Under. My personal favorites are Lithium, My Heart Is Broken and Lost In Paradise. These are all created after Ben Moody left the band, so all written by Amy herself. There's so many beautiful Ev songs, you'll be amazed. You seem to deeply connect with music, so welcome to the fandom 🤘❤️
Yes, Amy Lee is talented, skilled, and beautiful in so many ways. Her voice is phenomenal. I have to be careful listening to her because then I’ll just listen to Evanescence for 6 hours, lol.
She has passed on but can’t leave this realm the bandages she never touches the ground the children don’t see her he searches for her he sits over her piano - she’s dead she can’t move on
Wonderful reaction, thank you for sharing your love of music and curiosity with us. Please check out Break In by Amy Lee and Lzzy Hale, they are both vocal powerhouses.
Love this song ❤suggest Shinedown “A Symptom of Being Human” this will bring you to tears, Brent Smith’s voice is amazing. Voted no 1 mainstream rock band 🎸 last 20 yrs by billboard. Hold the record for the most no 1s hits on the the rock charts. 💯🔥
I just found your channel and subscribed to it a day or two ago. Since then, I've gone through all your videos and you've referenced all sorts of reactions from having your mind blown to emotional. I'd like to please put some artists on your radar that I've not found in your listings? (You don't know me, but trust me.) 🙂 You don't want to leave this life without ever having heard these artists, some for fun and some for ... well, you'll see. 1.) John Denver (please, ask others if you don't believe me). 2.) Eva Cassidy (gone way too young but my goodness... you'll never forget her, once you hear her. Any live performance with her guitar at the Jazz Alley would be great, but maybe Somewhere Over The Rainbow... seriously... or Autumn Leaves.) 3.) Billy Strings (of the mind-blowing variety) Try "Meet Me At The Creek" (or any, you can't go wrong). 4.) Home Free (purely acappella, although many people can't believe that). Try "Man Of Constant Sorrow". 5.) For the song Brothers In Arms, you'll see that Home Free does it but get the Dire Straits version (official video). You'll actually hear a guitar weep. 6.) Norah Jones. You will fall in love.... I've never seen a guy see her yet who wasn't smitten. 🙂 7.) Simply Red. (Holding Back The Years.... the video). 8.) Brad Paisley "When I Get Where I'm Going" -(with Dolly Parton). You'll feel better about your sweet grandmother, whose picture you keep close by. I realize you may never react to any of these but, even if you don't, maybe in your free time, give them a listen. Just for yourself. 🙂 Love your channel!
Absolutely beautiful song but I got it all wrong for years. Amy is not singing about a loss of someone in her life. In all actuality SHE is the one who died. The bandages around her wrists, the white gauzy dress, and the fact that she neve ever touches the ground. Her halo. Blew me away. ❤
she wrote many songs, for example with 16 she wrote "Lithium", with 17 "listen to the rain", most she did on the piano ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QlMcEmxwnuI.html
I love this song. And i hate this song. Its so beautiful and so painfull. I lost my little sister. I cant listen to this song without completely breaking down. But its so perfect.
They started out as Christian Rock but most in the religion did not agree with their presentation. She said once that this song was, in a large part, about her relationship with her religion.
If you want kind of a happier ballad good enough is a nice one. She wrote it about her now husband. There’s video version and Steinway hall completely raw and only Amy and piano version obvious I’m partial to the later
Great reaction! If you’re looking for more Evanescence I would suggest Lost in Paradise, particularly the Sessions version, Your Star, My Heart Is Broken, and if you’d like to hear something recent check out the first two songs off the latest album: Artifact/The Turn and Broken Pieces Shine. I think there is a video out there with both songs included, and they really do go together 😊
