She gets it: You don't mimic the original when you cover - you make it your own. Well done.
My favorite explanation of covers was from John Mayer. He explained that, "Someone worked real hard and wrote themselves a song, and I'm going to steal that motherf*cker and play it like it's mine."
Amen 🖤🎶
Better than the original!
THIS IS AMY LEE. She loves to be weird, she loves synths, she loves darkness. Her voice is amazing! This cover is really a part of the sound of her soul.
Fun fact: It kinda really IS the sound of her soul... because she was having a weird dream where she was signing/hearing this cover in this style, she said "is one of those moments where you kinda know you're sleeping but you don't want the dream to end" So she was kinda waking up yet trying to be in that dream more, bc she loved how she was singing/hearing it in within her dream., as soon as she finally woke up in the middle of the night, she proceed to go upstairs to her home studio and started recording with her synth pedals (the ones you see in this video) bc she didn't wanted to forget what she heard in her sleep...and with her phone she first recorded the synth sounds and some backing vocals with the chorus sanged in this style.
She said that she stood there doing/recording it fully very early in the morning till the evening, perfecting her version of this song that she dreamt about. So literally we are listening Amy's dream version of U2's With or Without You.
Isn't that SO FUCKING COOL?!!
@@xPaLmaaHx that's the coolest thing I've heard all day and I went to the new James Bond movie today and didn't even particularly dislike it
Edit: also woah this is weird af but I just remembered I had a dream last night of Evanescence releasing a new song today and all I remember about it is that it was good but wasn't super hyped about it for some reason. Now I'm kinda freaked out and also I really want to remember what it sounded like
THE best female voice ever. everything she sings is just unbelievable
Right? 😊
the fact that were alive the same time as her. no wonder theres legends of “siren’s”
Super🔥🔥🔥💖
Absolutely
Queen of Rock Amy Lee
She’s always had a dynamite voice. Ridiculous level of talent.
100% agreed...talent that makes history.
That layered voice is a MASTERPIECE
Your voice gives my soul a way to speak, your words give it something to say.
and your that someone that said it you're right
This.
+Sinny Osborne this and that and other stuff
this is a cover. not something Amy wrote.
Amanda Davis
Really? Are you going to tell us the sun is hot as well? I was speaking generally of her musical skills, not specifically of this song.
Spank you captain obvious...
Her voice is hauntingly beautiful and keeps you wanting more and more!!!!
Holy crap, I must live under a rock. . . how have I only just found this now?
Same here
I just stumbled over it 5 minutes ago, so I feel you.
Same here! Didn't know she was still making music till just now 🤯😍😍😍
Cause you live under a Rock.. Lol don't feel bad I reside under the bolder next door to you..cause I just found this too..
Same here...August of 2020 before I ever heard it. Excellent cover.
Amy Lee has such a angelic voice.... its beautiful.
We'll SAID
Listen to her duet wi lzzy hale from halestorm both amazing
She got liveing voice
Creo que todos los que estamos suscritos al canal damos gracias cada día por la existencia de esta mujer!
amen
Totalmente :D
con certeza ...
está mujer es una bella persona ♡ te quiero mucho.
No podría estar más de acuerdo.
+Candres Peredo (Carlos Andrés Peredo) es realmente increíble su talento
How am i just finding this today? That's 7 years of joy out the window.. AMAZING!!!
Amy captured the hauntingly beautiful state of being half awake and half asleep perfectly with her vocals and video. Absolute perfection.
one of the most underrated voices in music. everything she sings is just beautiful.
what do you mean underrated? shes been going since 1997 and still rocks
Very true that she been around for long time however she is still very underrated as most people would not put her up there with the best voices but I would
Love Amy Lee. If you like this style of vocals then i highly recommend checking out Nightwish with Floor Jansen on vocals.
Honestly she might have a point it's not like Amy's out everyone's face all the time but it's amazing to go to her music anytime and I don't want to forget the musicians that have her back either
Her voice is more than perfect..
Wow this song is so dark! Very nice, couldn't be better.
well don't let it get to your head there !! agreed it does go to an even darker depth that the original which is still a masterpiece !! ENJOY THE AFTERNOON LUV!!
Incredible voice. A truly gifted musician and performer.
I agree with you Angela Perrone. I am a 53 yr old male drummer. I see so many young female drummers these days showing off their body parts more than their skill. It's great to hear and see this woman's voice base solely on her ability to sing and perform. A true artist. She does not slur her words or change pronunciation of the lyrics the way so many female vocalists do today. PURE TALENT
Amy Lee and Lacey sturm I will follow you girls where ever you go! They both sing with soo much passion!!
+VictoryaJewett exactly my thoughts
This is very true. Both ladies are releasing solo albums and I'm excited!!
Yes!!! They are my two biggest inspirations!! My two favorite vocalists!!
This woman is my all-time favorite musical artist.
Same!!!!
❤same❤
I actually have an audition this weekend for "The Voice"....& I'm doing either this 1 or "My Immortal"....
She's AMAZING & IMPECCABLE!!!!
Amazing version. It is dark and hauntingly beautiful.
She takes this song to heights beyond Bono's ability. Pure. Emotional. Open.
Dear god no. She’s good but Bono all day in his prime.
@@brianmanning9271 I agree with you. I like it but I don't like it. It lacks something. I can't put my finger on it. 🤔
@@maddisonjohnson4308 Perhaps it is "she didn't write it" that is lacking?
@@galadrielwoods2332 Yeah you could be onto something there but there's been times when a cover is better than the original.
All the originals are untouchable, but she made this her own, and it's an absolutely beautiful haunting take on it!
Speechless, I love the Dark touch you gave to this song.
did you notice it was like in her house or her studio so she into her privates and how awesome
+podfun Ikr???😍
+podfun yes...it seemed very intimate. I was very moved by this rendition.
My late father introduced me to Evanescence when i was just 7 years old. Amy's voice struck something in me, from the other room even. I dropped what I was doing to see what it was. From that moment on nearly 2 decades ago now i was hooked.
I’ve said it since I first heard her voice, she is one of the most talented vocalists of our time. Every time I hear something new from her, her voice gives me goosebumps.
WHY AM I SEEING THIS JUST NOW?
I miss her voice so much!!!
same
right?? me too! is there a CD?
+Nathan Morgan yea...Recover Vol. 1 on itunes/amazon/spotify
Me too
yeah me too
Amy Lee is the only one I know of that can take a U2 song and make it hauntingly beautiful. 😳
correction any song I swear she can burp and fart for 5 minutes and it would be a platinum album
+podfun haha exactly!
+Anthony Biscardi Hi five brother
+Sam E (Seirius) I know you have your opinion, but I have to disagree. I feel like Amy's version is more haunting and beautiful. But then I personally don't like U2 or the original song anyways.
+Sam E (Seirius) i think that the "haunting" point it's that electronic darkish sound.. And also, Amy's voice haunts whatever lol
One of the most beautiful voices in the music field, perfect.
Selfishly, we'll never have enough covers by Amy
I love U2, and I love Amy. The redention of this song is hauntingly beautiful. The hairs on the back of my neck are sticking out. She is an angel.
I'm not much into hard rock, but there is something special about Amy Lee. This cover is simply incredible. It is beautifully haunting, beautifully sung, and like almost all of her songs, it has so much soul. When I listen to Amy I am reminded that there is a basic sadness to life that we all feel in a very personal way and she has found a way to give voice to that dark soul without which the light of our soul would never shine so bright. A song like this is a gift. Thank you Amy, from the heart.
One of my favorite songs of high school, Amy makes me speechless...
This is for the sleep deprived person, thank you for your help 😊. I have gone 3 days now. I am not doing drugs or thinking how the world be without you. Thank you from New Zealand 😊😊
An extremely haunting version of one of my all time favourite song.Great work Amy.
She is a master at reinventing songs. Amazingly done!
Amy Lee has an absolute gun of a voice. One of the best female vocal talents of this age. Never retire, Amy
The vocalizations on this song are so phenomenal and impressive.. she can really hold a note and without a breathe move up to another in keeping heavenly vibrato
For me she is a legend! Her dark voice brings so much emotions everytime she sing. I love her so much
Sabrina Lopez i love Amy lee she is the best singer ever i love her so much
Shes ruined a classic...
@@darrentaylor1414 She MADE HER OWN VERSION of a classic, a very beautiful & Ev Origin album esque (their best album imo, along with Open Door) sort of darkwave version. I LOVE THE ORIGINAL CLASSIC SONG just like you, and I also LOVE THIS ONE.
Both are great in entirely different ways, what did you want her to do, copypaste the original?? NOONE could make it as good as the original IN THE SAME WAY. Done with new style like this, she's not even trying but making a version AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL but in different way. Had she done it in same way it would've been lame (even when it's Amy), I really like her making her own version instead.
So no, to me SHE DIDN*T RUIN the original at all, as this is like an interily different song now. And I never understand that mindset "ruiend the original" when people do covers, even the lamest covers DON*T RUIN AN ORIGNAL, you can just iGNORE the covers you don't like.
10/10 points U2's original, 10/10 points also for this imo.
@@ladybat1312 all that what you said, is all in your opinion... my opinion is different. In my opinion, she ruined it, it's the exact same song, same lyrics, same chords, same chord progression, same beat, same set up, so it is a copy of the original song, hard to grasp, I know...
The original is normally always better than the remixed version, the exception, for me, is Jimi Hendrix' version of all along the watch tower.
The thing with ruining the original, whenever you hear the original, you always remember, either during or after the song, the bad version of it, and it ruins the moment, for me anyway. This version does that to me. If you cover a song, as she has, give it the justice it deserves, not ruin it for the sake of 'doing things your own way/you're own version'. Again, just my opinion.
@@ladybat1312 thumbs up ladybat13......
This woman is so captivating ! great voice. love her !
Amy Lee is one of greatest female vocalists ever. Her voice is transcendent and beautiful. I love how she completely changed arrangement, without lessening the beauty of the song. I saw them on Synthesis Tour, and was very impressed by her range and control live. Love the Bitter Pill album- looking forward to seeing Evanescence in the fall! Thanks Amy- I have so much respect for you!
Uma das maiores vocalistas de todos os tempos , sem dúvida nenhuma , ela sabe utilizar muito bem a voz na música como poucos . Incrível tambem a adaptação feita por ela nessa canção do U2 !
For what reason, I read her voice is translucent, and it seemed to make sense. Haha
This woman gives me goosebumps and tears with her voice such an amazing talent! One in a million!
This is amazing. I think this is the best cover song I've ever heard. This sound is what I've been searching for. Amy Lee, keep what you're doing, you're amazing!
I have to complete agree with you
I don't know. Manson's got some excellent covers. But yeah, this one is up there. Love the dark tone to it.
+amarillo315 placebos cover of where is my mind by the pixies takes some beating.
she still the best female vocal singer † love her dark voice †
lol keep dreaming
+Humor do Melhor who do you think it is then?
I love Sharon Del Adel too :)
Bochnia1000 I hate her, she's mainstream shit!
Listen to Within Temptation album's "Silent Force" or "The Hearth of everything" :)
Amy's voice makes me want to cry. I absolutely LOVE HER. One of a kind.
This woman could sing the phone book and I would buy it. She ranks up there with Alison Kraus vocally in my book.
😂😂😂😂😂 truth
Amy Lee, and Christina Scabia are my favorite singers
😂 😂 😂
I love how Amy Lee sings from her heart and soul. She shows true emotion when she sings her songs. I love that about her.
She gives herself a way.....
Her voice is so captivating and so unique. I'm obsessed.
Once again an Amy Lee tune that leaves an explosion of goosebumps. Awesome.
Amy's true gift singing her own harmonies and background vocals. She gets 4 things going at once. I believe she said she woke with this playing in her head one day. She ran up and started doing it before what was in her head was gone. Got to be some head if all that is spinning inside it.
THAT ENDING THOUGH!! Ugh her voice is so beautifully haunting 😍😍😍😍 I need more covers ASAP!!
Holy sheet, her voice is so mature now, she has definitely gained even more control of it... This is impressive!
Amy....you simply ROCK... I love what you did with the song. On my down time, I watch people’s reactions to your videos. They either cry or literally jump out of their shoes....by your angelic voice, your beauty, lyrics and music...can’t forget your gorgeous eyes. I’m moved as well...keep them coming
Love and light to you
CG.
Brilliant cover of a classic done in a style that really shows off her astonishing vocal range. A voice of pure liquid gold that I'll never tire of listening to... 💯
She is awesome.
you get an award for being correct see all you had to do was try and tell the truth
+podfun Well, we say "10 points to Gryffindor"... O:)
+TheMadKyo Slytherin would be better :3
Metal Maniac I can't disagree, I belong to Slythindor :DD
+TheMadKyo I think it's wrong of you to say that : she's more and more than awesome :') !
I had a heart attack. This is incredible. Her voice is haunting and I love it and the music as well. I love her covers!!
Perfect excuse to listen to MCR.

thank you mother for introducing me to Amy lee/ evanescence at a young age 💜 10 years later and still listening
A very depeche mode interpretion of a u2 song. It really worked. Congrats
Yup
A lot of dm here 🙏
Holy Shit! This is how you do a cover and make it completely your OWN!
This is hauntingly beautiful 😇
Hayley Morris very.
Hayley Morris Indeed
I love it! Xxx
Hayley Morris yeeess
I just keep restarting it.
Amy Lee is a musical genius! #Legendary
Amy's version of one of my favorite songs does not disappoint!
I listened to nothing but Evanescence when I was struggling with anorexia and in and out of the hospital. It was my mental escape and gave me a break from the hell I was in. It helped immensely.
Lord Jesus Christ can free you. God can Heal you. Seek the Lord with all of your heart. Jeremiah 29:13
@@Brucev7 gross
@@koffinkiss Love God
Hope you're doing alright now.
And Bruce is correct on this matter, it's a secret we all have to learn at some point (hopefully)
Glad you pulled yourself out that hell of Anorexia. Staying Anorexic can have long term health consequences. Peace.
please keep singing Amy, you make my darkness looks beautiful
you're the beauty itself
I'm older 57, I will never forget the first time I listened to 'bring me to life' , I was blissed to hear such a rocking song with a female lead Singer that sounded like an angel. What a vocal range she can be so soft and beautiful and very powerful as well. She reminds me of Freddie Mercury in a way because of the great range of her voice, and the fact that she could sing opera if she wanted. Thank you Amy for your wonderful contribution to music, you touch many of us deep inside. I love good music, Pink Floyd is one of my favorites, learning to fly, coming back to life, comfortably numb is probably my favorite song of all time, favorite guitar riff too.
I’ve loved the voice she’s been blessed with for almost 20 years now. Thank you amen lee for using your talents to serenade us over and over again
Omg! She is so captivating! Such an angelic, captivating voice..... Drawing dragging me don with her.........
Haunting, passionate, conviction and a fantastic voice.
She has such an incredible talent.
Any lee has such a soothing singing voice always a great artist to relax and destress
Feels like there is an "open door" theme to it... That was amazing... Do more!
This sounds a lot like earlier Evanescence music. It's beautiful.
+gloomyharlow Yes it does :)
+gloomyharlow Yeh you are righ...it reminds me of so close, i dont know why :)
+gloomyharlow Back when she had more control. I thought the same thing. The vocal layers remind me of Origin and earlier.
+gloomyharlow nah, sounds more like Chelsea Wolfe
DrunkenPopTart who?
Waaw...i was holding my breath without realising it...it’s so beautifull. Thank you dear Amy.🙏🏻
Amy is my go to favourite when I feel down. Sounds crazy I know, but she lifts me. 👌
Still a goddess after all this time.
Oh my god! If I wasn't already an Amy Lee fan I would have just become one!
A truly haunting version of a great by U2....ugh that voice gives me chills...one of the most beautiful voices I've heard, no matter what she's singing...a testament to how versatile the beautifl Amy can apply her voice to...love it. Hands down the best voice of the past, present and I'm sure future. Cheers from Aus!!!!
Yo this dark cover is awesome.
one of the most underrated voices in music. everything she sings is just beautiful.
Literally had a moment listening to this for the first time tonight. ...no words.. speechless. Beautiful. I rarely like covers of songs but amy defiantly does this justice. Perfect in every way 💜
Artists like Amy Lee can do anything and this is the proof. Amy is not the immature girl on Fallen anymore, Amy is a real artist and Evanescence a real band. Accept it!
Wow.. love her rendition of this... AMY sing all the songs with this beautiful haunting voice of yours!!!! Such a beautiful woman and a beautiful voice. My favorite female lead by far.
This woman could sing the telephone book and I'd buy it twice
Same
Haunting. That last note...just masterful. Great to see you back, Amy!
you´re the most beautiful woman in all the world thank you for all your songs
now see why can't we just have Amy leah President of the free world
+podfun because to much paperwork and she wouldn't be able to make songs anymore
This song is so adorably haunting!!! I 'm just hypnotized by it and I can't help but to listening to it again and again and again😵❤❤❤🙃 thank you Amy!!!! Love
my favorite Amy Lee songs:
october,
before dawn,
hello,
breathe no more,
field of innocence,
anywhere
Hello absolutely destroyed me the first time I heard it
This is one of the best efforts by Amy Lee in her solo act. It completely gives the feeling of the early demos and Origin, that magical dark aura those songs are capable to evoke. She created a brand new song over the U2 basis and the final result came to simply become something amazing!
Anything she sings will always be the most magical, amazing, exotic sounding thing that I could ever imagine hearing. I can not wait until she comes out with more of her own music. No one in this world compares to her voice or music. NO ONE! I love it Amy Lee....please never stop singing....please!
I absolutely adore amy lees voice and dark style of music. Shes been through death of loved ones as well as i have and it definitely shows in her music, and does it perfectly! My ultimate favorite singer and performer of all time! I love you amy and thank you so much for your amazing work!♥️
Her voice is angelic, her voice stirs every emotion in my soul.
WHAT KIND OF MAGIC IS THIS??? Why am I only learning of this now?
i may be too old to be listening to this kind of music but i was a fan of amy lee when she first hit the spot light with my immortal and only listened to her for about a year but damn her voice is amazing. this song has rekindled my interest in her. time to catch up with her work. great job amy
this song is so good
+jettesjettes there's no such thing as "too old" :)
never 2 old
I am half way through my life. I listened to her in my 30's and felt a little too old then and really too old now
jettesjettes I still stand by my statement when I'm 50 I'll still be rockin to her :p How old r u rly tho?
Not many singers can make me listen to a U2 song but You did. So much better than the original that I only listened to once.
I can't believe anyone can sing this song better than U2 but OMG you TOTALLY nailed it yet again
true artist who believes in herself. thank you
Best song I've slammed in my car to date! With or without Evenescence, your music's the best!
What a voice, takes you to places, that questions, waits for answers. A voice that takes you, out of your comfort zone, serious and deep, thought provoking.
Beautiful voice, fantastic group, ❤
Amy, that was amazing. You have always been part of my favorite female singers. Certainly one of the most incredible voices and always classy.
Yeah, her voice makes me break down and cry. So wonderful.
Amy Lee's version perfectly captures what I have been feeling in my life. Her amazing voice brings all my anguish to life.
So freaking beautifully done and sung ♥️♥️
omg this is amazing. imagine if she ever covers a tool song. heads might literally explode from the sheer concentrated awesome.
