Recuerdo que está fue la primer canción que interprete junto a mi profesor de inglés, fue la primer canción en inglés que aprendí de memoria y aún hoy recuerdo la letra
Playing this to my 1yr old baby in 2003, and her watching her, on stage, this year, while working download festival. 20 yrs it’s been hidden away in her soul brewing her love for rock, this and others of course, so to see her bands but her 20yrs later, in person sing this song again was a very proud mama moment 🥹
To me it's not just one memory. I was in high school and was just starting my journey into rock music (listened to mostly pop and R&B) and bands like Evanescence, Korn, Limp Bizkit, Breaking Benjamin, Linkin Park and Incubus really changed my musical tastes. Was a wonderful time to be a rock fan that looking back on now I realize how lucky I was to experience it when it was happening.
When this song and " My Immortal by Evanescence came out, I had lost my husband of 42 years. I had no words to describe the pain. These two songs gave me comfort because they gave words to the pain I was going through. Music is everything.
Wow I am so sorry to hear that. So true about music and how it is everything especially at those moments, when I lost my grandparents I had a special song that I experienced right after both and both of those songs hold a special place in my heart to this day God bless love 🙏🏻🥹
I hear you, even though I can't compare I've just lost my first love to a car accident and till this day can't hear my immortal without weeping, but the cathartic cry, like it was back then.
Thank you to everyone that made the premiere of this reaction! I can't believe so many of you in the live chat knew this song already but I'm so happy it gave you all feelings of nostalgia - your comments are amazing to read! 🤍
You should check out pisces or teacher teacher by jinjer. They are metal songs but they do have a story to them and Tatiana is a vocal beast. The lyrics are good but you may need to check out the lyrics afterwards or pull them up while watching if you want.
I don't know a lot about Evanescence to be honest but if you like beautiful voices, there's a song that had many many reactions on you tube and that deserves a try maybe : ruclips.net/video/dVvlmpo5g9k/видео.html Most reactors think she wrote the song. Actually she didn't, it's from a singer called Serge Lama, in the 70s.
Other songs I recommend from Evanescence are Going Under, My Immortal, and Call Me When You're Sober. If you want a better duo than this with Amy Lee, I recommend Broken by Seether. Edit: Fun fact, Amy Lee didn't want a rapper on this song, but was forced into it by her label. Considering the song's success I'm sure she's over it by now.
Re: edit... yeah, and it wasn't just that he was rock/rap; she thought their music could stand on its own and didn't want listeners to think that how this was done was who they were, because it was their debut and a collaboration.
Saw them live in 2003 or 2004 in the parking lot of my college stadium for a festival. During the performance of THIS VERY SONG, during her last big sustained note, the power for the entire stage shuts off but her voice still carried over the whole crowd. It was so surreal! This was before their first album had officially dropped and this song was a single for the Daredevil soundtrack.
This song shot Evanescence into the stratosphere! They were a college/local circuit band in Little Rock Arkansas. This song was chosen to be on the soundtrack of the Ben Affleck Daredevil movie in 2002/3ish and the rest is history! Amy Lee is a classically trained pianist and naturally gifted singing voice. She has been described as angelic from the moment her voice hit the public airwaves! Their first album, Origin, is out of this world. Sadly though the original lineup was quite short lived. (2007 I think)..
If there is ANY other song to check out by Evanescence, it's My Immortal. Song made me cry first time I heard it, and I still get emotional whenever it comes up on my playlist. Absolutely gorgeous.
The whispery voice you were hearing at 13:11 is actually in English. The words are "I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside". This brings me back to my high school days, I was IN LOVE with Evanescence and Amy Lee...I bought everything I could get my hands on, and binged like it was my job. Her voice actually reminds me of Chen from EXO. Nasally, but strong....penetrating. I think the best word to describe them is "piercing". I always love rock bands with female leads...Chvrches, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Blondie, Jefferson Airplane, and obviously Evanescence...some of my absolute faves!!!
The male vocalist was a guest vocalist the production company forced Evanescence to have on their debut single. He is Paul McCoy of 12 Stones. The song won the Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance (and was nominated for Best Rock Song).
6:26 This is one of the many reasons that Music is so powerful. It was an instantaneous time machine for you to revisit that exact moment all those years ago.
Heather is probably remembering this song too :) Gen X like me got this song first hand and most of us take Amy's voice for granted. It was on the radio all of the time. Angelic.
EVANESCENCE YES!! My teen self was obsessed with their music, and to this day it is incredible. Amy Lee like you said has such an angelic voice she’s iconic.
So the way the images and lyrics go. She has already died and her spirit is wandering through the after life. At 11:30 we see her spirit traveling past a mans apartment. Before this we see her also pass a couple wathcing T.V. And in between the two we see a party going on. The message here is that the people who are living their life cannot see her because their eyes are closed (the windows are closed) but the young woman who takes off her mask in the party kind of sees her because her window (eyes) are opened. The man she goes to visit is in a mental asylum, look at the room in which he is in. The signifies that he is traped with in his grief and when he see's her he opens the window. By opening the window she comes to the realization that she has died and falls off but he cathces her. He cathes her because he is still holding on to her memory, his guilt, he won't let her go. If you look at when they are holding hands, he is trying to lift her but she is trying to push off the ledge. He needs to let her go, he needs to let go of the grief and let her pass on. Once she falls, we see him in the corner of the window, but he is free and we then see her and she is finally resting in peace.
*Amy Lee* performed this a couple of years ago with *Wagakki Band* which is a Japanese band that uses traditional instruments in rock performances. They were also accompanied by an orchestra.
I was in the music industry for 22 years and the buzz around this album started about 6 months before it was released. I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy and I played it everyday for at least a year. This album sounds as good today as the first time I played it. Not only is Amy an amazing singer she’s an even better lyricist. Sheer poetry.
My Immortal, Going Under, Lithium, & Call Me When Your Sober are other amazing songs by them, really no Evanescence song disappoints! Amy Lee's voice is absolutely one of the most beautiful and unique of all time (in my opinion), her range and tone are absolutely insane 🔥
I was never into rock (I came up as a pop & r&b girlie and now I mainly listen to K-pop) but this song is like a core memory. I probably heard it every 👏🏽 single 👏🏽 morning 👏🏽 on VH1’s video countdown while getting ready for school. I was living for the powerful vocals and belting…like be fr Amy Lee was everything 😍🤯🖤🦋
Amy lee is my childhood. Her eyes are so captivating , her angelic voice can’t be copied. No one is like her , truly one of a kind ❤. Also , hi from the states
Amy Lee's voice is incredible! Shes literally one of my all time faves! You should do a deep dive into Evanescence. I'll be right there with you feeling nostalgic ❤
I love evanescence, but can't stand Lizzy/hailstorm. Some Women growling and screaming just isn't for me. My daughter is obsessed sadly for my poor ears 😂😂 but we did go see evanescence together last year and it was a very special night. I got her into alot of rock/metal and she's got me into nu metal and heavier groups than I originally was into. Now Metallica sounds shite In comparison. When I heard Sempiternal for the 1st time, my head exploded . Why did I tell you all that. Naaaaaw fuck it 😂😂
Love Evanescence. They're so amazing. Bought their debut album "Fallen" when it came out & still have the CD. So happy you've checked them out & hope you continue to. Gonna suggest 2 songs/mv's I love. "My Immortal" Emotionally soft yet powerful vocals. Hauntingly stunning. "Call Me When You're Sober" Raw powerful vocals. This is a 'This relationship isn't working' song I can get behind.
YAHOOOO TIME MACHINE IT IIIISS ! Thank you it was so fun !! Even tho it never been my favourite song of them it was SO popular when I was 15 it's always nice to listen to it again :D Amy Lee is one of the singer that teached me how to sing the most. I copied her and worked for hours on her songs to follow every single variation of her voice. I will always have a special feeling for Evanescence. I still listen and sing by heart the songs once in a while. I really never never would've think you'd react to them !! So it was a HUGE suprise, and even a bigger one to see that you liked it !! This is the only song that has rap in it tho.
Teddy - must say, I really enjoy your reactions and the way you try to connect to us. FIR pulled me over to your channel when Watch the World Burn came out and I haven't left. And something occurred to me today, or rather, words finally articulated when you were worried about being selfish ... to your camera (yes, I know, we are out here watching through the camera - but still). Teddy, you are genuinely a good person. :)
My first ever concert, which I went by myself, was a festival. It was Velvet Revolver, Evanescence, and Aerosmith. I was 17 and it was the best night of my teenage years. Amy Lee is a fucking legend. The male singer wasn't part of the band originally, but the label made them include a male voice like Amy Fucking Lee wasn't enough on her own.
OH MY GOSH I WAS IN JUNIOR HIGH WHEN THIS CAME OUT EVANESCENCE WILL FOREVER BE MY GROUP I LOVE… HER VOICE HAS SO MANY EMOTIONS AND YOU VAN LITERALLY FEEL EACH ONE.Can you react to their song called understanding it’s a lyric video
The first time I heard this song, I was 15, sitting on my bed, drawing and watching Fuse TV (Cuz that's what ya do as an emo kid in 2003). I was looking down at my drawing, and I heard the piano intro, and I thought it sounded interesting. Then, she started to sing. My head snapped up so fast, I almost got whiplash. 20 years later and still madly in love with their music. This song came out in 2003 and I didn't get to see them Live until the Synthesis tour in 2017 (Full concert available on YT), and that was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Enjoy the rabbit hole. It's a beautiful one.
Teddy how do you not KNOW this song almost word for word? I mean I’m 39 but I bought this entire album purely because if this song. Can’t believe you’ve not had a break up or a low time listened to this 🤯. Man I’m old 🫣🤣
Amy Lee's voice is incredible!!! I love it! She grew up in her teenager years in my home state of Arkansas! This group is so underrated and overlooked!
Evanescence was the first band to marry more traditional female vocals with a heavy guitar sound and breakout into the mainstream with it. They were played everywhere in the early 2000's. Amy wrote this song about one of her bandmates (they ended up in a relationship for a while). She had been going through some tough times mentally and realized in the middle of it that she loved him. "How can you see into my eyes, like open doors."
You're right, but the person she is really dedicating this song to is her current husband! When she was in that relationship with that band member, it was abusive and she felt alone, but she tried to mask it. Her husband (friend at the time) was the only one who noticed her unhappiness, hence the lyric "how can you see into my eyes like open doors?"
🤯 its totally mind-blowing there are people who dont know who evanescence is, but this song came out 20 yrs ago which makes me feel super old 😢 this was definitely on like every CD i burned back then.... OH if your trying to explore Rock music i recommend One ok Rock, they are a Japanese rock band they actually toured with Evanescence and The Muse at the beginning of this year they are so good!
Excellent review. This is one of my very favorite songs and video. I love her music and am glad she is still out there doing music. Love this woman and the group!
Hey Teddy, I love that you are checking out more rock and metal. There is so much good music out there in all genres. I found you because of Stray Kids when you very first reacted to them and been with you ever since. Even though I love kpop, Rock/Metal, Nu metal has always been my first love in music. Helped me through so many hard times. I recommend the band System of a down and their song chop suey to start with. Chaotic but soooo good!
I love Evanescence, and Amy Lee’s voice is incredible!!! Another band you should check out is Nightwish. They are a symphonic metal band with an absolutely amazing female vocalist. Start with their official live video for “Ghost Love Score” from Wacken Open Air 2013. I guarantee it will blow your mind.
Went to high school a few years behind the male singer in this song. He's got his own band 12 Stones that was HUGE in our small town the year their album dropped and this song came out and was used on the Daredevil soundtrack.
I’ve always said Amy Lee’s voice is like Mt. Everest and cotton candy. My Immortal Call me when you’re sober Better without you Lithium Just a start for you! Thanks for doing this. Keep shining dude✨
Really liked your honest first reaction to something I've listened so much time back in the days ! I wonder how you'd react to Nightwish first singer, Tarja Turunen (for instance in "Wish I had an angel". It's yet another level of rock (closer to metal), but she also as a pretty unique voice.
Listen to them live. She actually did a collab with Bring Me the Horizon at download and she did butterfly’s which was a collab and Nihilist Blue which has a story with BMTH and Evanescence anyway. Amy has a voice that can pierce metal music but by herself is literally breathtaking. She did good enough at Steinway concert and it’s literally amazing
My memories actually encompass the whole album lol I was listening to it in the background on repeat while reading my first Anne Rice vampire book for a 9th grade book report. Now I just strongly associate Evanescence with vampires. I love Amy Lee's voice, it is so powerful and distinctive, you always know it is her in a song. She was only 19 when she wrote this and 22 when the song was released. I don't think you have checked out Bring Me The Horizon (British rock band) yet? (If i missed your first reaction to them I'll be devastated lol) they did a song featuring Amy Lee in 2020 called "One Day The Only Butterflies Left Will Be In Your Chest As You March Towards Your Death" where Amy Lee is the voice of Mother Earth and BMTH is humanity. The whole song gives me chills. And her voice has only gotten more amazing in the past years ❤ A vocal queen 👸 I think I'm going to go listen to this whole album now...
Laughed so hard when you referenced Tom Riddle, what a Potter head!!! This indeed brings back so much memories, super nostalgic. Back when everyone wants to sound gothic and sing like Amy Lee on the karaoke. This is such an era this song. Enjoyed your reactions alot!!!
I'm so happy that you reacted to this! If you want another group with a similar male/female vocal dynamic I'd suggest Amaranthe! Specifically the songs The Nexus and Helix
Also she collaborated with tons of artists, especially lately. She did feature on the last Bring Me The Horizon s EP on a song called “one day the only butterflies left will be in your chest as you march towards your death”. Yep, that’s how long the title of the song is, lol
Hey Teddy 🩵 since you like Arctic Monkeys, you might enjoy these two: Royal Blood - Lights out Highly Suspect - My Name is Human Loved your reaction as always
woooow THANK YOU for this reaction video! Evanescence reminds me of my middle-school years! I'm feeling nostalgic! My favorite song of evanescence was "going under" if you want to keep discovering the group... In the rock style I can also recommend "one ok rock", a very famous Japanese band! All their songs are incredible I can't even pick just one for you to listen (ending story, renegades, we are, I was king...)!
If you‘re blown away by this, try Evanescence‘s other Stuff. „Lithium“, „Call me when you‘re sober“, „My immortal“.. and Listen to their live stuff too! Amy is live just as good!
Saw them live last december, when this song was played everyone in the crowd was going insane. Her voice is just a beautifully haunting live too, I was all tears and screams.
I saw Evenescence perform 2 years ago with Halestorm, and Amy Lee still sounds absolutely amazing! Lizzy Hale from Halestorm and her also have a beautiful song they did together called Break In. That song with a see of cell phones lights was surreal to see. ruclips.net/video/OUuVReJSrc4/видео.html
I love Amy so much, and she’s still so amazing now!! If you want to hear more amazing female rock vocals, Blessed Be by Spiritbox is definitely something that might catch your interest. And to add, you mentioned mix genre songs helping you integrate into alt music, you might really like Ascensionism by Sleep Token (along with a lot of others of their songs, but currently this one has been pulling a lot of non-rock/alt music listeners in and I thought you might enjoy at least the creativity of the song!)
Hey Teddy! If you like Amy's voice you really should check out 'My Immortal' from the same band! It's a slow one, but it's really haunting and ethereal - and f*king beautiful!
The album was released in 2003 (I was 24, lol) and this song was insanely popular; it was played A LOT on the radio and could be heard fairly often in stores (at least here in the States). This was the first song I heard by them, and I immediately found the CD to buy it. That thing saw a ton of play-time in my car, where I could just sing along like no one could hear me. It was a time where I was struggling emotionally, and this track joined 10 or 12 others that quite literally helped me stay alive through that period. I can't even remember most of what happened back then, but I distinctly remember Evanescence being a big part of the tether that kept me halfway grounded (which was as grounded as I ever got back then). Evanescence was also probably the driving force behind me eventually finding other female-fronted rock like Within Temptation and Nightwish (dear heavens, Floor Jansen's been their official lead singer since 2013, and that woman has such an insanely broad range of talent in her voice, she's amazing; the band as a whole is killer, and I'm so spoiled by them).
Keep going with the rock/metal reactions bro, living for them at the minute! Read up a bit about Nu Metal if you get the chance, its looked down on in the rock world but it was a real fusion of hip hop and a specific type of metal which took the genre mainstream in the late 90s early 00s. A lot of modern metal has the mainstream exposure if does because of that era.
Amy Lee is an unbelievable talent, but there is another, arguably more epic voice in metal. Oh yes, I think it's NIGHTWISH time!!! You need to be introduced to the Valkyrie queen herself, miss Floor Jansen. Start with Ghost Love Score live at Wacken 2013. Be prepared for the nightwish army to descend in force
sorry when you mentioned parseltongue i fxcking died 😭😂 .. amy lee has one of the best voices in music imo - take your pick on what song to listen to next they're all bangers mate
Amy definitely has the juice live and still does decades later!! I saw her with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in 2022 and it was masterful 🖤 Good songs to hear her voice on are Going Under and (though a bit less ‘rock’y) Lithium
I remember you telling the story about going to the movies and hearing it with her family and thinking it was so sweet and wholesome but forgot what RUclips video it was. But here I am a year later and I found you again I love how open you are with your experiences
What is your favourite memory linked to this song? Best answer gets a shout-out in the next Evanescence reaction 🍿👀
Finally seeing them play this live after 15 years of listening to it🤘🏼
Recuerdo que está fue la primer canción que interprete junto a mi profesor de inglés, fue la primer canción en inglés que aprendí de memoria y aún hoy recuerdo la letra

Parsel tongue 🤣🤣🤣. He's saying, "I've been living a lie. There's nothing inside."

They uploaded the MV for My Immortal November 9 2003 almost a month before my father die and always makes me think about him
I'm so sorry for your loss.
@@mariasag9208 I'm so sorry for your loss.

I hear you, even though I can't compare I've just lost my first love to a car accident and till this day can't hear my immortal without weeping, but the cathartic cry, like it was back then.
its a crime that people still dont know about this song
Thank you to everyone that made the premiere of this reaction! I can't believe so many of you in the live chat knew this song already but I'm so happy it gave you all feelings of nostalgia - your comments are amazing to read! 🤍
Sad i missed the premier, this is my favorite album of hers
glad u had a fun premier.
You should check out pisces or teacher teacher by jinjer. They are metal songs but they do have a story to them and Tatiana is a vocal beast. The lyrics are good but you may need to check out the lyrics afterwards or pull them up while watching if you want.
I born with this song 🤭🤭 and the whole fallen album by Evanescence

I would also add Lithium
This comment is me in a nutshell ❤
@@viary912I was just coming here to suggest that
I would also suggest tourniquet and Good enough I love both of those songs
Amy Lee is one of the best female singers i have ever heard. Her voice and tone is almost unmatched by anyone. Literal voice of an angel
Listen to Lori Lewis. Symphonic rock queen
Saw them live in 2003 or 2004 in the parking lot of my college stadium for a festival. During the performance of THIS VERY SONG, during her last big sustained note, the power for the entire stage shuts off but her voice still carried over the whole crowd. It was so surreal!

Wow
Eso tuvo que haber sido una experiencia espectacular!
Que la energía se vaya y que su voz se escuche en todo el estacionamiento
Escalofríos!
Thanks to Daredevil for introduced me to Evanescence
The lead singer's name is Amy Lee, and she is trained in classical opera, which is why all these notes look so effortless. It is😊
Amy Lee’s voice is haunting. It’s gorgeous. All these years later and she’s still one of my favorite female singers.
Amy Lee sings just as effortlessly live. It’s amazing. It’s like she doesn’t need oxygen and her vocal range is just naturally insane.
This song shot Evanescence into the stratosphere! They were a college/local circuit band in Little Rock Arkansas. This song was chosen to be on the soundtrack of the Ben Affleck Daredevil movie in 2002/3ish and the rest is history! Amy Lee is a classically trained pianist and naturally gifted singing voice.

If there is ANY other song to check out by Evanescence, it's My Immortal. Song made me cry first time I heard it, and I still get emotional whenever it comes up on my playlist. Absolutely gorgeous.
I cried quite a few times to that song lol
I love their song “Lithium” too. And of course, “My Immortal”. Being as they’re from my home state, I’ve been quite familiar with them for a while.
"My Immortal" hits HARD.
The whispery voice you were hearing at 13:11 is actually in English. The words are "I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside". This brings me back to my high school days, I was IN LOVE with Evanescence and Amy Lee...I bought everything I could get my hands on, and binged like it was my job.

The male vocalist was a guest vocalist the production company forced Evanescence to have on their debut single. He is Paul McCoy of 12 Stones.
The song won the Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance (and was nominated for Best Rock Song).
Yeah. She cuts that out in her concerts. But the crowd sing it anyway 😂😂Totally ruined the song for her,even though it was her biggest hit.
Her voice is always a spiritual experience! ❤️❤️❤️
6:26 This is one of the many reasons that Music is so powerful. It was an instantaneous time machine for you to revisit that exact moment all those years ago.
6:00 is the most adorable reaction i have ever seen when teddy realized he knew the song 😂
How have you never heard this 😭 evanescence is a masterpiece 😭
He has he legit explained about his ex gf ahaha
"Someone's speaking parsel tongue.
It's Tom Riddle" 😂😂😂
The little Harry Potter reference made me spit my drink out hahahhahhah
Heather is probably remembering this song too :)
Gen X like me got this song first hand and most of us take Amy's voice for granted. It was on the radio all of the time.
Angelic.
EVANESCENCE YES!! My teen self was obsessed with their music, and to this day it is incredible. Amy Lee like you said has such an angelic voice she’s iconic.
So the way the images and lyrics go.
She has already died and her spirit is wandering through the after life.
At 11:30 we see her spirit traveling past a mans apartment.
Before this we see her also pass a couple wathcing T.V.
And in between the two we see a party going on.
The message here is that the people who are living their life cannot see her because their eyes are closed (the windows are closed) but the young woman who takes off her mask in the party kind of sees her because her window (eyes) are opened.
The man she goes to visit is in a mental asylum, look at the room in which he is in.
The signifies that he is traped with in his grief and when he see's her he opens the window.
By opening the window she comes to the realization that she has died and falls off but he cathces her.
He cathes her because he is still holding on to her memory, his guilt, he won't let her go.
If you look at when they are holding hands, he is trying to lift her but she is trying to push off the ledge.
He needs to let her go, he needs to let go of the grief and let her pass on.
Once she falls, we see him in the corner of the window, but he is free and we then see her and she is finally resting in peace.
*Amy Lee* performed this a couple of years ago with *Wagakki Band* which is a Japanese band that uses traditional instruments in rock performances. They were also accompanied by an orchestra.
This performance lives rent free in my head. Absolutely brilliant arrangement.
Love the fact you seemed to be having so much fun with this one! Amy Lee is a goddess her live performances are unreal!
I was in the music industry for 22 years and the buzz around this album started about 6 months before it was released. I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy and I played it everyday for at least a year. This album sounds as good today as the first time I played it. Not only is Amy an amazing singer she’s an even better lyricist. Sheer poetry.
I was in radio then, alternative rock station. Our d.j.'s went nuts when this was released. Her voice is truly one in a billion.
@@maryreilly5092 agree
are there other neat stories you have
My Immortal, Going Under, Lithium, & Call Me When Your Sober are other amazing songs by them, really no Evanescence song disappoints! Amy Lee's voice is absolutely one of the most beautiful and unique of all time (in my opinion), her range and tone are absolutely insane 🔥
10000% true !
I concur with Lithium
So underrated too sadly and she's great live. Saw them with my daughter last year, such a special experience for us both❤
I was never into rock (I came up as a pop & r&b girlie and now I mainly listen to K-pop) but this song is like a core memory.

Amy lee is my childhood. Her eyes are so captivating , her angelic voice can’t be copied. No one is like her , truly one of a kind ❤. Also , hi from the states
I love her so much and she is in my top 3 female singer!! ❤
This came out between my college and grad school years, when I was really depressed. This album was the soundtrack of my life for a couple years.
“We’re already in a dystopian future.” This guy is hilarious. Subbed
Amy Lee's voice is incredible! Shes literally one of my all time faves! You should do a deep dive into Evanescence. I'll be right there with you feeling nostalgic ❤
Her duet(s) with Izzy Hale are out of this world ❤
I love evanescence, but can't stand Lizzy/hailstorm. Some Women growling and screaming just isn't for me. My daughter is obsessed sadly for my poor ears 😂😂 but we did go see evanescence together last year and it was a very special night.

Why did I tell you all that. Naaaaaw fuck it 😂😂
Love Evanescence. They're so amazing. Bought their debut album "Fallen" when it came out & still have the CD. So happy you've checked them out & hope you continue to.
Gonna suggest 2 songs/mv's I love.
"My Immortal" Emotionally soft yet powerful vocals. Hauntingly stunning.
"Call Me When You're Sober" Raw powerful vocals. This is a 'This relationship isn't working' song I can get behind.
From an album just before Fallen, only on RUclips *sigh*, check out Anywhere by Evanescence. You'll love it if you love My Immortal
Seeing her live for for the first time finally September 8 as a birthday present to myself can’t wait to sing my heart out to this live😩
Wow! Nostalgia for sure. I remember watching mtv (when they still showed mvs) before school hoping to see this video. Looooove evanescence
Here's some Evanescence songs for you to check! (to name a few)
Call me when you're sober
My Immortal
Going Under
Lithium
Everybody's Fool
All of these YES!!
i agree!
I'll just add on Sweet Sacrifice, The Change, and Missing for extra fun 👀
@@CheshireCat478 Yes!!
Dooooo iiiiittt👍👍👍
*immediately gets yeeted back into my teenage emo phase* yessssss amazing song, amazing vocals, and that sweet sweet emo feel ehehe
I never left, i just hid it
What? Did you really hear this for the first time?😲 How is that possible
he literally told the story of when he first heard the song and it was not this video lmao
YAHOOOO TIME MACHINE IT IIIISS ! Thank you it was so fun !! Even tho it never been my favourite song of them it was SO popular when I was 15 it's always nice to listen to it again :D Amy Lee is one of the singer that teached me how to sing the most. I copied her and worked for hours on her songs to follow every single variation of her voice. I will always have a special feeling for Evanescence. I still listen and sing by heart the songs once in a while.
I really never never would've think you'd react to them !! So it was a HUGE suprise, and even a bigger one to see that you liked it !!
This is the only song that has rap in it tho.
That safestyle reference!!! cracked me up! 106 107 noooow! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I just saw her open for Muse this last spring… and her voice was just as amazing live, an unforgettable experience. Goddess.
I love your reactions. Raw, honest and always open to new things.
Teddy - must say, I really enjoy your reactions and the way you try to connect to us. FIR pulled me over to your channel when Watch the World Burn came out and I haven't left. And something occurred to me today, or rather, words finally articulated when you were worried about being selfish ... to your camera (yes, I know, we are out here watching through the camera - but still). Teddy, you are genuinely a good person. :)
My first ever concert, which I went by myself, was a festival. It was Velvet Revolver, Evanescence, and Aerosmith. I was 17 and it was the best night of my teenage years. Amy Lee is a fucking legend. The male singer wasn't part of the band originally, but the label made them include a male voice like Amy Fucking Lee wasn't enough on her own.
I saw Evanescence live in Leeds last November,, alongside Within Temptation, Amy Lee is still just as beautiful and angelic voiced even now!
It's one of my favourite songs. It's also the original soundtranck of the Daredevil movie.
Amy Lee is absolutely phenomenal. By far my favorite female vocalist and yes, she really does have the voice of an angel.
This is my favorite reaction to the song.
OH MY GOSH I WAS IN JUNIOR HIGH WHEN THIS CAME OUT EVANESCENCE WILL FOREVER BE MY GROUP I LOVE… HER VOICE HAS SO MANY EMOTIONS AND YOU VAN LITERALLY FEEL EACH ONE.Can you react to their song called understanding it’s a lyric video
The first time I heard this song, I was 15, sitting on my bed, drawing and watching Fuse TV (Cuz that's what ya do as an emo kid in 2003). I was looking down at my drawing, and I heard the piano intro, and I thought it sounded interesting. Then, she started to sing. My head snapped up so fast, I almost got whiplash. 20 years later and still madly in love with their music. This song came out in 2003 and I didn't get to see them Live until the Synthesis tour in 2017 (Full concert available on YT), and that was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Enjoy the rabbit hole. It's a beautiful one.
Teddy how do you not KNOW this song almost word for word? I mean I’m 39 but I bought this entire album purely because if this song. Can’t believe you’ve not had a break up or a low time listened to this 🤯. Man I’m old 🫣🤣
This song was my late teens early twenties. God.
I agree with you - she does have a voice of an Angel 😇. I can't get enough of her songs, just beautiful ❤
Amy Lee's voice is incredible!!! I love it! She grew up in her teenager years in my home state of Arkansas! This group is so underrated and overlooked!
Wow! Evanescence!!!!
Back to my youth
Thanx))) they are awesome
evanescence was my childhood. You can say I was in my emo faze early.
yooo evanescene is a gem truly. i grew up on them. its so funny coming from skz reactions to this. love it 💜
Evanescence was the first band to marry more traditional female vocals with a heavy guitar sound and breakout into the mainstream with it. They were played everywhere in the early 2000's. Amy wrote this song about one of her bandmates (they ended up in a relationship for a while). She had been going through some tough times mentally and realized in the middle of it that she loved him. "How can you see into my eyes, like open doors."
You're right, but the person she is really dedicating this song to is her current husband! When she was in that relationship with that band member, it was abusive and she felt alone, but she tried to mask it. Her husband (friend at the time) was the only one who noticed her unhappiness, hence the lyric "how can you see into my eyes like open doors?"
🤯 its totally mind-blowing there are people who dont know who evanescence is, but this song came out 20 yrs ago which makes me feel super old 😢 this was definitely on like every CD i burned back then.... OH if your trying to explore Rock music i recommend One ok Rock, they are a Japanese rock band they actually toured with Evanescence and The Muse at the beginning of this year they are so good!
MY IMMORTAL will blow you away. Its an awesome representation of her talent
If you dont throw a shoe at my immortal i will be disappointed
I was lucky to have seen this live, she is phenomenal and she plays the piano. Nice reaction
Absolutely love Evanescence ❤❤❤
Excellent review. This is one of my very favorite songs and video. I love her music and am glad she is still out there doing music. Love this woman and the group!
Hey Teddy, I love that you are checking out more rock and metal. There is so much good music out there in all genres. I found you because of Stray Kids when you very first reacted to them and been with you ever since. Even though I love kpop, Rock/Metal, Nu metal has always been my first love in music. Helped me through so many hard times. I recommend the band System of a down and their song chop suey to start with. Chaotic but soooo good!
15 years later and the intro still gives me goosebumps!! Amy
I love Evanescence, and Amy Lee’s voice is incredible!!! Another band you should check out is Nightwish. They are a symphonic metal band with an absolutely amazing female vocalist. Start with their official live video for “Ghost Love Score” from Wacken Open Air 2013. I guarantee it will blow your mind.
4:25. When falling, it represents a loss of control of your situation.
С этой песни началась моя любовь к Evanescence. До сих пор мурашки от вокала Эми.
Went to high school a few years behind the male singer in this song. He's got his own band 12 Stones that was HUGE in our small town the year their album dropped and this song came out and was used on the Daredevil soundtrack.
I’ve always said Amy Lee’s voice is like Mt. Everest and cotton candy.
My Immortal
Call me when you’re sober
Better without you
Lithium
Just a start for you! Thanks for doing this.
Keep shining dude✨
No more word! This is it!
Really liked your honest first reaction to something I've listened so much time back in the days ! I wonder how you'd react to Nightwish first singer, Tarja Turunen (for instance in "Wish I had an angel". It's yet another level of rock (closer to metal), but she also as a pretty unique voice.
Listen to them live. She actually did a collab with Bring Me the Horizon at download and she did butterfly’s which was a collab and Nihilist Blue which has a story with BMTH and Evanescence anyway. Amy has a voice that can pierce metal music but by herself is literally breathtaking. She did good enough at Steinway concert and it’s literally amazing
Please continue down the road of rock and eventually metal when you're ready. So fun to see people discover a whole different world of music.
My memories actually encompass the whole album lol I was listening to it in the background on repeat while reading my first Anne Rice vampire book for a 9th grade book report. Now I just strongly associate Evanescence with vampires. I love Amy Lee's voice, it is so powerful and distinctive, you always know it is her in a song.
She was only 19 when she wrote this and 22 when the song was released.
I don't think you have checked out Bring Me The Horizon (British rock band) yet? (If i missed your first reaction to them I'll be devastated lol) they did a song featuring Amy Lee in 2020 called "One Day The Only Butterflies Left Will Be In Your Chest As You March Towards Your Death" where Amy Lee is the voice of Mother Earth and BMTH is humanity. The whole song gives me chills. And her voice has only gotten more amazing in the past years ❤ A vocal queen 👸
I think I'm going to go listen to this whole album now...
Laughed so hard when you referenced Tom Riddle, what a Potter head!!! This indeed brings back so much memories, super nostalgic. Back when everyone wants to sound gothic and sing like Amy Lee on the karaoke. This is such an era this song. Enjoyed your reactions alot!!!
Their current album (the bitter truth, 2021) is just awesome. Especially the intro+Broken Pieces Shine.
Killer reaction! Amy Lee is an actual goddess and she sounds the same live. I have the biggest crush on her. Also that parseltongue was 👌🐍⚡
You need to react 'My Immortal' and 'Going Under' by them cause it's awesome
I've seen them live last year and her vocal abilities are unreal
I'm so happy that you reacted to this! If you want another group with a similar male/female vocal dynamic I'd suggest Amaranthe! Specifically the songs The Nexus and Helix
Also she collaborated with tons of artists, especially lately. She did feature on the last Bring Me The Horizon s EP on a song called “one day the only butterflies left will be in your chest as you march towards your death”. Yep, that’s how long the title of the song is, lol
Hey Teddy 🩵 since you like Arctic Monkeys, you might enjoy these two:
Royal Blood - Lights out
Highly Suspect - My Name is Human
Loved your reaction as always
woooow THANK YOU for this reaction video! Evanescence reminds me of my middle-school years! I'm feeling nostalgic! My favorite song of evanescence was "going under" if you want to keep discovering the group...
In the rock style I can also recommend "one ok rock", a very famous Japanese band! All their songs are incredible I can't even pick just one for you to listen (ending story, renegades, we are, I was king...)!
If you‘re blown away by this, try Evanescence‘s other Stuff. „Lithium“, „Call me when you‘re sober“, „My immortal“.. and Listen to their live stuff too! Amy is live just as good!
Saw them live last december, when this song was played everyone in the crowd was going insane. Her voice is just a beautifully haunting live too, I was all tears and screams.
I saw Evenescence perform 2 years ago with Halestorm, and Amy Lee still sounds absolutely amazing! Lizzy Hale from Halestorm and her also have a beautiful song they did together called Break In. That song with a see of cell phones lights was surreal to see.
ruclips.net/video/OUuVReJSrc4/видео.html
Call me when you sober, Going under, Lithium - my favourite songs.
I love Amy so much, and she’s still so amazing now!! If you want to hear more amazing female rock vocals, Blessed Be by Spiritbox is definitely something that might catch your interest.
And to add, you mentioned mix genre songs helping you integrate into alt music, you might really like Ascensionism by Sleep Token (along with a lot of others of their songs, but currently this one has been pulling a lot of non-rock/alt music listeners in and I thought you might enjoy at least the creativity of the song!)
Amy Lee singing 'Broken' with Seether is another awesome song.
Hey Teddy! If you like Amy's voice you really should check out 'My Immortal' from the same band! It's a slow one, but it's really haunting and ethereal - and f*king beautiful!
The album was released in 2003 (I was 24, lol) and this song was insanely popular; it was played A LOT on the radio and could be heard fairly often in stores (at least here in the States).
This was the first song I heard by them, and I immediately found the CD to buy it. That thing saw a ton of play-time in my car, where I could just sing along like no one could hear me. It was a time where I was struggling emotionally, and this track joined 10 or 12 others that quite literally helped me stay alive through that period. I can't even remember most of what happened back then, but I distinctly remember Evanescence being a big part of the tether that kept me halfway grounded (which was as grounded as I ever got back then).
Evanescence was also probably the driving force behind me eventually finding other female-fronted rock like Within Temptation and Nightwish (dear heavens, Floor Jansen's been their official lead singer since 2013, and that woman has such an insanely broad range of talent in her voice, she's amazing; the band as a whole is killer, and I'm so spoiled by them).
Keep going with the rock/metal reactions bro, living for them at the minute! Read up a bit about Nu Metal if you get the chance, its looked down on in the rock world but it was a real fusion of hip hop and a specific type of metal which took the genre mainstream in the late 90s early 00s. A lot of modern metal has the mainstream exposure if does because of that era.
Oh, I love Evanescence ❤ My favourite group, when I was at school.
Linkin Park
Nightwish
Those two is a must for you to listen to 🤙🏻
LOVE this song. So fun to have you discover it.
Amy Lee is an unbelievable talent, but there is another, arguably more epic voice in metal. Oh yes, I think it's NIGHTWISH time!!! You need to be introduced to the Valkyrie queen herself, miss Floor Jansen. Start with Ghost Love Score live at Wacken 2013. Be prepared for the nightwish army to descend in force
Now you're just being silly. Evanescence is top. Sorry.❤
sorry when you mentioned parseltongue i fxcking died 😭😂 .. amy lee has one of the best voices in music imo - take your pick on what song to listen to next they're all bangers mate
Nostalgia! System of a Down reaction perhaps?....
This is a must, I think Teddy will lose his sh!t 😆
Amy definitely has the juice live and still does decades later!! I saw her with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in 2022 and it was masterful 🖤
Good songs to hear her voice on are Going Under and (though a bit less ‘rock’y) Lithium
I remember you telling the story about going to the movies and hearing it with her family and thinking it was so sweet and wholesome but forgot what RUclips video it was. But here I am a year later and I found you again I love how open you are with your experiences
