One night he went to bed while she was watching TV, he woke up and she wasn't in bed. He went in the living room and found her stone dead. It broke him, naturally.

      According to Songfacts: "The idea was to write a song that if I could play it to him, that it would make him feel better. Unfortunately, I never got a chance to play it for him. So it was written just before, like a couple of weeks prior to him dying."

    My favorite part of this song is how Amy Lee proves that she is a legitimate singer. In her part right at the end of the first verse, she is taking the harmony at a higher pitch. This flips traditional singing and even pop singing on it's head because the higher tone or register is almost always the melody. It's incredible and haunting, and I cannot get enough of it.

Now that I'm several years removed I can truly appreciate how amazing their harmonies sound, even if it cost the song its original rawness.

      Probably because they weren’t part of the Grunge Era. They didn’t release their first album until several years after Soundgarden broke up (1997). They were more part of the Post-Grunge Era - basically “grunge with cleaner vocals and guitars.”

    • @Trepanation21
      @Trepanation21 23 дня назад +2

      Seether is definitely not "in the conversation about top tier grunge" because they came after that era. They're very comfortably in the later end of the "post-grunge" genre, which was basically simultaneous to nu-metal. However bands like Bush, Live, Silverchair, of course Foo Fighters, Collective Soul, and Candlebox are probably the foundations of "post-grunge", with additional highlights from bands like Creed and early Nickleback (can't stand them, but Leader of Men is a great song, and the first Creed album is proper excellent). Anyway.

They have always been incredible and if you know the lackluster farming area (Bloemfontein Freestate) where Shaun grew up it's even more impressive.

    Hey Elizabeth! The guitar effect played at (5:38) is known as a "Tremolo." It is a fun effect that rhythmically changes the volume of the guitar signal (not the pitch). You can mimic this effect, without having the proper effect, by moving the volume knob up and down at a rapid pace on an amp. Keep up the good work, I love your content!

    Amy is at the top of my list of best female rock singers. Her voice is phenomenal. I saw Evanescence in concert last year and it was probably the best live show I've ever been to. Her voice is outstanding live. When she sang My Immortal by the end of the song I was sobbing. So emotional and powerful.

    Amy Lee is credited for the string arrangement. You definitely hear grunge influence in Shaun"s voice. They were kind of lumped in with the new metal genre but are also considered post grunge. Post Grunge is basically a style that had a lot of the elements of grunge but a much higher production quality and a more radio ready sound and subject matter

    This is the reworked version, to include Amy Lee, which was released for the 2004 Punisher movie. The original was released in 2002. Morgan wrote the song about the breakup of his marriage and family, after his wife chose to remain in South Africa with their daughter rather than accompany him to live in the United States.

She was an all-state selection as a Jr and Sr in high school. She sang a solo in their Christmas concert (Little Drummer Boy) and I swear half the audience (yes ME included) got teary. Wow. Amazing voice.

If you want some live songs by Seether that is a great place to start. So glad you (finally) got to one of my top 5 songs of all-time. Their cover of WHAM!'s "Careless Whisper" is too die for!

    I'm a radio listener, which is where I 1st heard this song. Imagining them singing this song, you get the feeling, especially Amy, is just wrenching out the notes, visibly pained. She has a special voice and technique. Being a fan of hard rock/metal, I don't typically hear women singers, but, when it's Amy singing, she gets my ear. If you get a chance, she did at least a few piano side chats/interviews, for different articles. When she speaks, its every bit as smooth as when she sings, even to this day.
