22 years ago I heard this for the first time. Still gives me chills now. Got me through some of the toughest times of my life, I listen now and again to remind myself how far I’ve come.
In reality, I don't want to be one of those people that are like "Music saved my life".... but in actuality, Evanescence did in fact stop me from my suicidal thoughts and depressive moods. Amy Lee quite literally DID save my life. Not only that, I love her voice and the entire band. They are such an inspiration to many people, and hopefully will be for many future years to come.
I think this woman literally saved my life. I mean her music brought me out of rough patches and really dark places. this song brings back immense memories. I will always love Amy but this Era of music was her absolute best.
I believe this song literally save my life the first time I heard it I was about to kill myself. I came back to it years later to draw the stength I need to face a difficult trial in my life with courage and with god the only thing I truly have at the end of the day is Him.
Sophia Belanger and God is all you need ❤️ He is more than enough and loves you so much that it’s incomprehensible. Praying that you always seek Him and look to Him whatever is going on in your life and never give up
Amy Lee was basically my Teenagehood, & I wish they would revisit their 'Origin' sounds for one session, they are very calming & easy listing. I am also pleased to say my daughter (who I name after Amy Lee herself) is now a big Amy Lee fan as well!
Same. (25 now) This is the first song I ever learned on the guitar. It's still my go-to song to play when I'm in a rough mood and I need to get it out.
Thank you Amy ❤️ for bringing me close to God,I don't know how should I thank you,may The Lord Jesus Bless u...thank u a billion times for this song u r an angel...n everyone who would be reading this msg should thank Amy and our savior Jesus Christ 🙏 there's still time so repent and pray... and know Jesus Christ is coming... praise be unto the Lord and Heavenly Father..Amen
I listened to this song when I was at school. I'm 31 now n just stumbled across it. I've come to realise I need these guys songs now more than ever. I feel every one of their lyrics and her voice gives me goosebumps ❤ it's nice just to zone out and feel some peace
For me this song is about a broken and traumatized person who's been hurt and abandoned so many times that they're afraid to love or give themselves to their lover... but after a while they're tired of fighting them and their love and finally want to just give in and accept it and let their lover give them the love they so desperately crave. They have such a low self esteem that they see their lover as the only thing good about themself.
+Rokatsu Ryuzaki In my case i think about it as someone who is in love with other who doesn't know or doesn't love her. So despite the efforts she can't "walk away from him" beacose she loves him so much.
+Dora Delic i feel more this song is about God (i fall into your abounding grace) and considering Amy Lee is Christian is highly possible that i'm right
Love this song since 2004, when im still single.. Now im 35 years old father, with two beautiful kids and sweet wife.. Both of my kids born in October.. This song really means a lot to me.. 25/10/2017 5:11 a.m.
Amy Lee has such a magical and soothing voice, she has helped me through some really dark times. Not just Amy Lee though, the band is amazing. They also make the songs complete.
You should listen to all of their songs, they're truely wonderful and touching, if you think this goes right into your soul, try listening to My Immortal:)
Alexander Austin Or Hello. That song is like someone stuck a knife into your soul rather than going straight to it in a gentle manner. Very emotional and sad.
I too am shattered... This song is so beautiful, brings me peace in ways nothing else will . Her music is very unique and wrenching emotionally, physically. Amen.
I think this song is about loving someone you know isn't good for you, but finding that love is too strong for you to walk away, even though you hurt, and you know it won't stop. I think we've all been there.
I interpret it as about loving someone too good for you, and you for a while being misdirected and later realize only they can save you. But now you say that it makes sense as well.
Happy October everyone welcome back good to see you all again this year! Who got married, who got divorced? Who got back pain? Anyone have arthritis yet? You're all looking great, I've aged horrendously.
my only hope, my only peace, my only joy, my only strength, my only power, my only life , my only love..... These words will never get old as they pour life into me every time! Thank you my angel, Miss Lee.
Carried this song with me for years. I would listen to this endlessly when I was younger. Now listening to it in adulthood, its a good song to reminisce about all of the precious moments this song is tied to. Beautiful song that is driven by powerful raw emotion.
Evanescence and Seether Amy Lee is my hero. I listen to this miraculous and glory filled, sentiment loving, dreamy, masterpiece delicate like paper flowers, real-good, love song forever........ 2024 at 43 still listening with a smile.
Honestly its all about what the listener gets out of it. For those of us who are Christians especially young Christians we can relate the lyrics to our own struggles with our faith trying to run from it and push God away but then something dramatic happened to change that and brought us into a closer love of God and our faith. For someone else the lyrics can mean something totally different. When I listen to this song I picture myself setting in one of the pews after just receiving the Sacrament of Confession with tears in my eyes gazing up at the crucifix above the altar and pouring my heart out to God and telling him how sorry I am and how much he means to me and telling Him i'm going to try and do better because he is my only hope, my only peace, my only joy, my only strength my only love. And I personally feel his fatherly love and forgiveness
+allison mena Well, only Amy Lee knows the true meaning of the song. Us listeners just perceive the meaning of the song about God, love, a heartbreak, or other things. Jut thought I'd say that. But I agree, I find it to be a very pretty song about God, too.
I am Goth and I don't know why you put " " in front of the word. Evanescence is a RomantiGoth rock band that's the genre of music they play Just like the Cockatoo Twins and Rasputina. Being Goth doesn't make it non-Christian on the contrary a good majority of Goth music has songs about God
Carl Williams I completely agree. Being Goth doesn't automatically decide your religious perspectives. Anyone can be a Christian, just as anyone can be Jewish, Muslim, or Atheist.
Carl Williams To be honest, it probably would. It's pathetic that so many people stereotype things like this. They automatically assume odd or bad things are associated with Goths, Emos, scene kids, and many other genres and such like that. Not many of them even think logically when it comes down to their thoughts on this. Two of my closest friends are Goths. Both are very religious Christians, but everyone says bad things about them behind their backs, saying that they're probably satan worshipers. The lengths people will go to to prove a false point is honestly disappointing.
This song it helped me so much in one of the hardest fights of my faith! I got so mad at God and tried to run from him.But he is my everything and this song reminded me of that! So thankful she did this song and God sent it my way randomly.
I feel like this is what my heart was trying to speak out loud when I was battling through depression starting elementary. I’m in college now still battling it and this song heals me from pain I’ve been going through all along. My birthday is on October so this song holds a special place in my heart. Remember you will get through it. Continue to fight and never give up. And trust in music to heal you because it is a voice for your emotions that can be used when your mouth can’t spell out the words you want to say
I just now realized that this song comes from the broken heart of a person pleading for God to forgive them and take them home. God is our only strength and he is all we need. ✝️✝️✝️
I've always thought of this song to be about someone who've denied love in their life, never letting anyone close. Then someone finally breaks through the wall they've built around him-/herself and they just release all the emotions they've been building up inside them, all at once. Realising that they can't lie to themselves anymore and just go with it all. Personally I think that sounds better than all this god crap everyone else is writing about... but hey! that's just me, everyone can interpret a song differently.
If you might indulge me without Hate... I think This is about our Abba Father.... But what if Ive fallen too far for His Abounding Grace... And Many other Scriptural References Both Canonized, and Apocryphal... It is Absolutely how to Approach The Father...
ellocoexcalibur You can fall into the grace of a person. Especially if you fall in love, "I fall into your abounding grace" I interpret like: you've never ever let anyone close. But then someone comes along and gets through to you, you feel so left out and don't know how to handle it. All you can do is to fall into that persons grace.
I've loved this song since I was a kid, 12 or 13 years old. It is literally why my name is Ari October, it was because of this song that I thought October would make a cool name. But lately this song has taken on a new meaning, one much more important to me than it ever was before. I know very few people will relate to this story but I feel compelled to tell it anyway. Maybe someday eventually it will be read by someone who needs to read it. Someone moved to tears by this song for the same reason I am. After a long spiritual journey I found myself drawn to Judaism. For over two years I attended services frequently, eventually attended the conversion classes which I excelled in, I was on track to finalizing my conversion. But near the very end of the process, I left it all behind. All because I (mistakenly!) thought nobody at shul (temple) liked me or wanted me there. So, for 3.5 years I ran from it. I tried to leave it all behind. But no matter what I did it still felt like I was already Jewish, even if I didn't want to be. It was often physically painful, it made my heart ache with yearning. But I felt like I couldn't go back, and given that I live in a small city that shul was my only choice, I couldn't go "shul shopping" and just find a different Jewish community. In February I finally caved to these feelings, I just couldn't take it anymore. I knew that Hashem is my God, the One God, and I needed to be around people who understood God the same way that I do. I had searched without any luck to find a different religion or spiritual path that was compatible with my already formed beliefs about God, but none managed to capture my heart in the same way Judaism had. This song was there for me as I struggled through this all-encompassing NEED to return to my people, and all the fear that went along with it. All the "what-ifs" and "but, but, buts". This song encapsulates how I feel towards Hashem and towards Jews. No other song can put it into words the way this one can. "In all my bitterness I ignored All that's real and true All I need is you"
I like Amy Lee because she is just amazing at what she does and how much she cares about her fans and EV. You can tell when an artist takes there time and put everything they have into it. Amy works hard to make her fans happy. And she doesn't strip down for views she wants people to hear her voice. Its hard to find a singer like Amy who is smart and hardworking and takes time with her music. I love that the most about Amy!
Listening to this song brings a flood of memories into my mind..throughout my teen yrs. I’am 22 now, I’ve been battling self harm pretty much throughout my life. I’d be self harming and then I’d be clean, I remember listening to this song sooo many times late at night sobbing my heart out. Asking God to give me the strength to keep fighting and running back to Him because I was weak. One way some how and one day I’ll personally thank Amy for being there for me throughout my entire life🖤. She’s saved me soooo MANY freaking times. This song will FOREVER hold a VERY special place in my life and 🖤. Know I’am not looking for ANY sympathy WHATSOEVER!
Amy is so emotionally into this song it makes me want to say i'm sorry for the wrong's i need to right. It brings me back to loving life again, Amy is awesome.
So sorry for your loss,i can understand you bcause i lost mine 2 years ago,her absence still feels unreal. Music can help trying to mend our broken pieces,remember she's always with you🥰
With music, you can interpret it however you choose. You can relate it to a something or someone in your life, and find your own meaning for the lyrics. So quit fighting in the comments about what Amy intended the lyrics to be about (and whether or not they're about religion), and think about how you personally relate to the lyrics, whether that be about a lover, friend, religion, or whatever.
This song is so oddly appropriate. My older brother's birthday is in October but he died in 2006. Listening to this with his birthday fast approaching it's just another reminder he's not with me anymore, he's not here, he'll never grow up, and there's so much he won't be able to do because of one accident. Happy almost birthday Tyler, I miss you every day.
Kerri-Lynn Dunne I'm sorry. 😔 😢 He'll be back though. God promises in the Bible, a ressurection of the dead back to earth. My father died when I was 13. Will be 21 years next month. I know I will see him again. Have faith.
The title October has a huge meaning for me, I lost my big brother in October 2010 he was my best friend. Then I lost my grandpa in October 2012, something I still haven't recovered from because it was quite traumatic. And the lyrics go even deeper but I can relate when she says I'm sorry, because I couldn't save my brother or my grandpa and it's a guilt I'll carry to my grave. I'm 39, I'll be 40 in August but life hasn't been the same since they died.
Stephanie Hoch Thank u, that means so much. It's a daily struggle I took an overdose in January but I survived it, I don't know why but I'm still here and their not😢I guess some things aren't meant to be understood, I just wish I knew why. Thank u for your kindness.
I love this song so much. Although I do not believe in God. But this song just speaks to me...I could be crying, or just upset about anything, and I come to this song and it calms me down. It makes me happy. I love Amy and all of her work. Thank you so much Amy Lee for your music, and you, and most importantly being there for me. Your music has helped me in so many ways I cannot express how much. I love your work, please never stop making music. It would break my heart... Your music heals it.
This song pretty much nails it for me. I’m a human being and I cannot ignore than I’m naturally vulnerable and I have the innate desire to love and be loved like everyone else deep down.
I married the love of my life in October. We have loved each other since high school (15years old) our daughter is now 16... everything comes full circle.
This song reminds me of all the times that I've walked away from God just to find myself returning to Him again because in the end He is my everything.
Yes, because when God is the last thing we have, we realize that He is the only thing that we need! Without Him nothing makes sense, we live our lives without any purpose or direction. Don't give up! Fight for the salvation of your soul! Everything in this world will pass, so build eternal things! And the only way to God and the eternal life, is Jesus ♥
Going through the hardest time in life I've ever gone through. This song is everything. I just found God. This song speaks to me in a different language now than it used to. Hopefully I'll make it through
Das Lied berührt mich immer noch, nach 20 Jahren..hebt es immer noch Gefühle hoch, als würde man eine Schublade aufmachen und mit dem Ende verschließt man es wieder.
April 19, 2019... And I'm still listening to this amazing work of art. This is music. Ah... How I miss the early 2000s. There aren't many good artists nowadays, it sucks.
October 2024. It really wonderful to see a lot of us coming back to this video every October to wish each other well. Happy October everyone. Rock on! ☕🍂🍁🎸😼🎃👻🧛🧟
this song reminds me of him every time... his birthday is in late october. this song touches my soul... i have cried listening to it so many times. amy, thank you for making this beautiful song... it’s like you have read my heart. this describes everything i have felt for him, and still feel. i love him in a way that i shouldn’t, but i cannot help the way i feel. we cannot be together, but i will always love him eternally, even though i have accepted that we cannot be together. there are some people who are a part of your life and leave a mark on your heart that you can never get over... “im through fighting it”... and you just have to learn to accept that you’ll always love them. his soul is a part of my own, somehow... i believe he is a soulmate from a past life. “in all my bitterness, i ignored all thats real and true, all i need is you...” im sorry, and i love you, my angel. yes i have moved on, and im happy, but you will always be in my heart.
I never get tired of this song. It does not matter how many times I play it. That's just too sad that Amy will never record this song again, or even Solitude or Anywhere. And I hope those ones never get lost on the internet.
I think I discovered this song when I was about 11. I can see right now comments of mine from 5 whole years ago. I'm 18 now and a totally different person. I've gone through years of many experiences I wish I hadn't gone through but they also made me the stronger person I am today and helped me learn. I'm extremely happy, have a lot more confidence in myself, and I'm learning to love myself, among other great things. To anyone struggling right now (because I HAVE been there), I want to say it DOES get better. I get waiting sucks, but sometimes all it takes is time. I still love this song, and singing it again for the first time in years was an emotional experience. The way I felt when I was singing it was something different; I haven't felt that way about a song in a while. It has such a deep meaning, its so powerful. This song will always have my heart.
I started to listening to Evancence scans I was 10 years old but now I am 17 but I am turning 18 soon but Amy Lee is the best Artists that I ever here her songs. But after my dad last away the songs she sings help me feel better :) :)
This was my favourite song back in 2014 when I was 14. I listen now and the song takes me back and I remember the headspace I was in which is incredibly haunting to think of now. How can a song so perfectly capture the feeling of depression? (My own interpretation of the song)
Many years ago (about 7 ) i had the best days in my life and it was October...Now i will experience another great moment in my life..my daughter will be bornt and it will be again October..so this month means a lot to me..though some happy days passed away ..some other happy days will come and i am blessed..
I feel this song powerful. I cry when I hear it. I feel this way about someone that I can’t be with. Because I married a man who has never had any time for me in 26 years. And the guy I have thease feelings for likes me a lot. I wish I could have known this guy before the jerk I married.
I don't wish that kinds of love on anyone. Co-dependant love, like this song is about, is unhealthy and emotionally damaging. Love yourself the best you can, be happy 100% in yourself first, without relying on someone else to make you happy.
jwhitloctombraider yes, only a person who has been in a close relationship with God long enough knows His forgiveness and Mercy. I can perfectly understand how she describes that straying from Him was cutting her so deep. About how she couldn’t ignore Him because once you know Him you’re never the same again. About how He is her only strength, hope, love and how His Grace is abounding. Keep persevering my friend in Christ!! This song is special to me for the same reason. Like the Scriptures say you’re not suffering alone. & for anyone else on here who feel like the prodigal Son, He is waiting for you with open arms.
Sad my friend. How do you unbelieve? Time spent in His presence should not be undone. You may have been a rock, letting the water of Gods Spirit and Word flow over never pentatrating the soul when the idea is to become a sponge taking in all of whom He is! Once you truly know Him, you will never want to be out of His presence or will. I will pray for you!
Still coming to listen to this song in 2024. It’s been a comfort song since I was in high school.
Same!!
Same :)
Me since I was in primary school. I’m now 29
Same

Hi i was wondering. Who still listening this? I hope we are not less. If you are reading in october. You are real fan of evanesence. 🖤
I come back every october
Everyday.
I think about this song every now and then and come back, one of their most beautiful songs imo ❤️
Me
Every Year
22 years ago I heard this for the first time. Still gives me chills now. Got me through some of the toughest times of my life, I listen now and again to remind myself how far I’ve come.
I wish they would re-record this on an album, available now
Glad to hear this song holds a special place in other people's hearts as well.

Back when I was 14 ( I'm 22 now) I'd listen to this to let my heart feel every emotion that I had hidden away. I absolutely love this song!
Damn... read my comment ok :/
Same. (25 now) This is the first song I ever learned on the guitar. It's still my go-to song to play when I'm in a rough mood and I need to get it out.
same, but I'm 27 now. this song goes back.
Same!!! I danced to this song at 14 and now I'm 22(:
I think I discovered this song when I was 11 and now I'm 18 coming back to this beautiful piece
Happy October 1st. I've been coming to this video and wishing everyone a Happy October 1st for years and not about to stop.😊
Same here 🎃
Probably one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs ever written
Sim

Me exactly. Discovered this in high school, 31 now.
For me this song is about a broken and traumatized person who's been hurt and abandoned so many times that they're afraid to love or give themselves to their lover... but after a while they're tired of fighting them and their love and finally want to just give in and accept it and let their lover give them the love they so desperately crave. They have such a low self esteem that they see their lover as the only thing good about themself.
I get the same thing from these lyrics.

You don't have to be an Evanescence fan to love this.
phlangephace If you are not a fan it is almost imposible you find this song
true
Ame Lee I am a huge fan of Evanescence, hell, it was what got me into loving music. And I just found out about this song today.
Jordan Does Gaming same but if known this song for a while
I used to listen to this song and cry.
This quarantine makes us listen to all old songs, 😢😢
Sone older songs are like friends. They get us through the rough times!
Yes!!
Yes. 😔
Me too 😔
This song is amazing perfect for October.
This song makes me cry.
Absolutely powerful.
Love her
Brenda Davis makes me cry too.
I love this song so much. A big part of my childhood but now that I listen to it, it sounds like a Gospel song about giving your life to God. Love it
i mean, she was in church choir...I am pretty sure she is christian
It is, or more about returning to God after turning away in anger and pain.
I wouldn’t call it gospel, but it is absolutely about surrender to God.
I'm a Jew rather than a Christian but yes this song absolutely holds that meaning for me!
It is
Such an underrated piece of music. My favorite Evanescence song
It's like a prayer. A very mystical song. Amy is a gigantic singer !
Love this song since 2004, when im still single.. Now im 35 years old father, with two beautiful kids and sweet wife.. Both of my kids born in October.. This song really means a lot to me..

Amy Lee has such a magical and soothing voice, she has helped me through some really dark times. Not just Amy Lee though, the band is amazing. They also make the songs complete.
This song is a prayer to the sacred, it transcends religion, dogma and doctrine. AMAZING!!!
Uh. Says who
@@christinasings4395 who else is known for abounding grace?
@@thitsugaya1224 who else but God alone which I myself stated here already
Totally agree
I also thought it had a praise and worship kinda feel...
I...will never get tired of listening to this womans voice...shes just so soothing beautiful!
Anyone else feels like Evanscence music and Amy's voice is healing ?
yes very much so. I feel like my spirit guides had this song cross my path for that exact reason.
Yeah 😥
Yes
@@michellemiddleton1661 reading your comment made me smile.
I swear this is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard by evanescence ^0^
My father at 84 loved this song when he heard it and when he was in he’s last moments of life, I played it for him while he passed away😢
😢
I feel like this song is about God and how wonderful his grace is! It's so beautiful!
I totally agree with ya!! 🙏✝️❤️
❤️
Happy October, again. I listen to this song EVERY October 1st.
Nice!
when I was a kid I cried to that song and I'm 21 and I'm crying so much right now. I feel destroyed.
Lucas Vinicius why? ;-;
I hope you're doing well now. You deserve all the love of this world❤
Because Jesus Christ drew you thru his love for you that's why
Hang in there!
Hang in there Lucas.....I am 52 and I feel the same.
The way she says "I'm sorry" makes me wanna just run up to her and hug her😢😢
this is the first Ev song I ever heard. Amy's voice is simply haunting, it goes right to your soul.
You should listen to all of their songs, they're truely wonderful and touching, if you think this goes right into your soul, try listening to My Immortal:)
Alexander Austin Or Hello. That song is like someone stuck a knife into your soul rather than going straight to it in a gentle manner. Very emotional and sad.
Or Field of Innocence. That song digs DEEP into your soul..will leave you in tears. But yes, Hello drives into your soul very violently.
Also don't forget even in death, very haunting but beautiful :)
@@AlexanderAustin1994 the bitter truth!! 7 years later after you comment😂
I too am shattered... This song is so beautiful, brings me peace in ways nothing else will . Her music is very unique and wrenching emotionally, physically. Amen.
The older you get, the stronger those songs are getting, as you literary understand it by your life expreinces, and god it hurts too much.
Jesus I felt i had such a pent up cry session and this is where I had to come for it...
I think this song is about loving someone you know isn't good for you, but finding that love is too strong for you to walk away, even though you hurt, and you know it won't stop. I think we've all been there.
So true, you've described my love story 💔😔
Absolutely agree with you 100% 😓💔
yeah
I interpret it as about loving someone too good for you, and you for a while being misdirected and later realize only they can save you.
But now you say that it makes sense as well.
No, it's actually about returning to God after straying into sin, listen carefully to the lyrics.
Happy October everyone welcome back good to see you all again this year! Who got married, who got divorced? Who got back pain? Anyone have arthritis yet?
You're all looking great, I've aged horrendously.
my only hope, my only peace, my only joy, my only strength, my only power, my only life , my only love..... These words will never get old as they pour life into me every time! Thank you my angel, Miss Lee.
This is so painful, sweet and relatable.

+allison mena Well, only Amy Lee knows the true meaning of the song. Us listeners just perceive the meaning of the song about God, love, a heartbreak, or other things. Jut thought I'd say that. But I agree, I find it to be a very pretty song about God, too.
I am Goth and I don't know why you put " " in front of the word. Evanescence is a RomantiGoth rock band that's the genre of music they play Just like the Cockatoo Twins and Rasputina. Being Goth doesn't make it non-Christian on the contrary a good majority of Goth music has songs about God
Carl Williams I completely agree. Being Goth doesn't automatically decide your religious perspectives. Anyone can be a Christian, just as anyone can be Jewish, Muslim, or Atheist.
I think it would shock most people if they knew that most Goths are very religious and spiritual people
Carl Williams To be honest, it probably would. It's pathetic that so many people stereotype things like this. They automatically assume odd or bad things are associated with Goths, Emos, scene kids, and many other genres and such like that. Not many of them even think logically when it comes down to their thoughts on this. Two of my closest friends are Goths. Both are very religious Christians, but everyone says bad things about them behind their backs, saying that they're probably satan worshipers. The lengths people will go to to prove a false point is honestly disappointing.
I come back to this video every October since 2010
1st October 2017, I'm here.
2k17?

hi 😊
Here I am again! Hope everyone is having a great October
This song it helped me so much in one of the hardest fights of my faith! I got so mad at God and tried to run from him.But he is my everything and this song reminded me of that! So thankful she did this song and God sent it my way randomly.
I feel like this is what my heart was trying to speak out loud when I was battling through depression starting elementary. I’m in college now still battling it and this song heals me from pain I’ve been going through all along. My birthday is on October so this song holds a special place in my heart. Remember you will get through it. Continue to fight and never give up. And trust in music to heal you because it is a voice for your emotions that can be used when your mouth can’t spell out the words you want to say
I just now realized that this song comes from the broken heart of a person pleading for God to forgive them and take them home.
God is our only strength and he is all we need. ✝️✝️✝️
I've always thought of this song to be about someone who've denied love in their life, never letting anyone close. Then someone finally breaks through the wall they've built around him-/herself and they just release all the emotions they've been building up inside them, all at once. Realising that they can't lie to themselves anymore and just go with it all.
Personally I think that sounds better than all this god crap everyone else is writing about... but hey! that's just me, everyone can interpret a song differently.
If you might indulge me without Hate... I think This is about our Abba Father.... But what if Ive fallen too far for His Abounding Grace... And Many other Scriptural References Both Canonized, and Apocryphal... It is Absolutely how to Approach The Father...
ellocoexcalibur You can fall into the grace of a person. Especially if you fall in love, "I fall into your abounding grace" I interpret like: you've never ever let anyone close. But then someone comes along and gets through to you, you feel so left out and don't know how to handle it. All you can do is to fall into that persons grace.
ellocoexcalibur No -_-
vickeflikka Amy herself said this song has a slight Christian theme behind the lyrics so I guess the subject is God, not an ordinary lover.

I'm not a Christian person but I'm believer in God and I dedicated this song to him. He's my only peace, my only joy, my only strength
I've loved this song since I was a kid, 12 or 13 years old. It is literally why my name is Ari October, it was because of this song that I thought October would make a cool name. But lately this song has taken on a new meaning, one much more important to me than it ever was before.
I know very few people will relate to this story but I feel compelled to tell it anyway. Maybe someday eventually it will be read by someone who needs to read it. Someone moved to tears by this song for the same reason I am.
After a long spiritual journey I found myself drawn to Judaism. For over two years I attended services frequently, eventually attended the conversion classes which I excelled in, I was on track to finalizing my conversion. But near the very end of the process, I left it all behind. All because I (mistakenly!) thought nobody at shul (temple) liked me or wanted me there.
So, for 3.5 years I ran from it. I tried to leave it all behind. But no matter what I did it still felt like I was already Jewish, even if I didn't want to be. It was often physically painful, it made my heart ache with yearning. But I felt like I couldn't go back, and given that I live in a small city that shul was my only choice, I couldn't go "shul shopping" and just find a different Jewish community.
In February I finally caved to these feelings, I just couldn't take it anymore. I knew that Hashem is my God, the One God, and I needed to be around people who understood God the same way that I do. I had searched without any luck to find a different religion or spiritual path that was compatible with my already formed beliefs about God, but none managed to capture my heart in the same way Judaism had.
This song was there for me as I struggled through this all-encompassing NEED to return to my people, and all the fear that went along with it. All the "what-ifs" and "but, but, buts". This song encapsulates how I feel towards Hashem and towards Jews. No other song can put it into words the way this one can.
"In all my bitterness
I ignored
All that's real and true
All I need is you"
I was dip in water..and love potato salad
When she sings “I’m sorry” my heart breaks.
This is a very beautiful Christian song❤
This song. Oh my gosh, i remember the first time i heard it,like 10 years ago. It holds such a power on me, makes me emotional everytime
My favorite song Evanescence! This song provided the comfort and strength I needed to get through losing my mom and addiction
I like Amy Lee because she is just amazing at what she does and how much she cares about her fans and EV. You can tell when an artist takes there time and put everything they have into it. Amy works hard to make her fans happy. And she doesn't strip down for views she wants people to hear her voice. Its hard to find a singer like Amy who is smart and hardworking and takes time with her music. I love that the most about Amy!
when life falls on me i will not close my eyes .amazing
Agreed
Such a beautiful, heart-wrenching song of surrender.
these songs are so powerful, i wish there was more of them
Nightcrawler509 Aka 'Blue' same
this song is about addiction
I honestly don't think Amy can write a bad song. She's also pregnant. Imagine the lullabys that baby will have.
Omg I can’t believe it’s already been 7 years with jack!
@@swaggotea Contact with heavan is needed. At least the music. I would like to give some of my love to the child of a great music performer

Listening to this song brings a flood of memories into my mind..throughout my teen yrs. I’am 22 now, I’ve been battling self harm pretty much throughout my life. I’d be self harming and then I’d be clean, I remember listening to this song sooo many times late at night sobbing my heart out. Asking God to give me the strength to keep fighting and running back to Him because I was weak. One way some how and one day I’ll personally thank Amy for being there for me throughout my entire life🖤. She’s saved me soooo MANY freaking times. This song will FOREVER hold a VERY special place in my life and 🖤. Know I’am not looking for ANY sympathy WHATSOEVER!
Amazing. The guitar structure is so perfect.
October 2021, how time flies but the sadness and misery lasts forever
you alright george
Amy is so emotionally into this song it makes me want to say i'm sorry for the wrong's i need to right. It brings me back to loving life again, Amy is awesome.
I’m in a tough spot right now, but someone that I love sent this song to me. This song makes me want to be happy. Even though it’s near impossible
Her songs help me with my sadness over losing my mom.
I hope you are better now. Wishing you all the strength and joy
So sorry for your loss,i can understand you bcause i lost mine 2 years ago,her absence still feels unreal. Music can help trying to mend our broken pieces,remember she's always with you🥰
December 2024 ❤❤❤ there's a comfort in coming back to what I knew
With music, you can interpret it however you choose. You can relate it to a something or someone in your life, and find your own meaning for the lyrics. So quit fighting in the comments about what Amy intended the lyrics to be about (and whether or not they're about religion), and think about how you personally relate to the lyrics, whether that be about a lover, friend, religion, or whatever.
Amy Lee is very beautiful and I love her and her band is amazing. Amy Lee inspires me.
This song is so oddly appropriate. My older brother's birthday is in October but he died in 2006. Listening to this with his birthday fast approaching it's just another reminder he's not with me anymore, he's not here, he'll never grow up, and there's so much he won't be able to do because of one accident. Happy almost birthday Tyler, I miss you every day.
Im so sorry because of your brother :(
bless you n ya brother. loss is a terrible thing x
Kerri-Lynn Dunne I'm sorry. 😔 😢 He'll be back though. God promises in the Bible, a ressurection of the dead back to earth. My father died when I was 13. Will be 21 years next month. I know I will see him again. Have faith.
I pray for you 2❤
This song is now so synonymous with October. Amy Lee's voice is lovely
Acordei com essa música na cabeça hoje. É muito bom vc lembrar de uma música, ir nas plataformas musicais e saber que ela está lá.
The title October has a huge meaning for me, I lost my big brother in October 2010 he was my best friend. Then I lost my grandpa in October 2012, something I still haven't recovered from because it was quite traumatic. And the lyrics go even deeper but I can relate when she says I'm sorry, because I couldn't save my brother or my grandpa and it's a guilt I'll carry to my grave. I'm 39, I'll be 40 in August but life hasn't been the same since they died.
Tina Lancaster So sad. 😢 I hope you feel better!
Stephanie Hoch Thank u, that means so much. It's a daily struggle I took an overdose in January but I survived it, I don't know why but I'm still here and their not😢I guess some things aren't meant to be understood, I just wish I knew why. Thank u for your kindness.
Tina Lancaster stay strong for me you beautiful soul. I love you x
@@tinalancaster3227 your comment made me cry a little because I know exactly how you feel. Keep going strong... for everyone else around you ❤
@@cody7089 Thank you!! I’m sorry I’m just now seeing this. Love you too!xx
This my favorite song by them. I'm a HUGE Evanescence fan! I CAN'T WAIT FOR THEM TO GO BACK ON TOUR!!!!
Anyone in October 2024? 😊
me
Still on it:-) I know this song from 2004… still with me
I love this song so much. Although I do not believe in God. But this song just speaks to me...I could be crying, or just upset about anything, and I come to this song and it calms me down. It makes me happy. I love Amy and all of her work. Thank you so much Amy Lee for your music, and you, and most importantly being there for me. Your music has helped me in so many ways I cannot express how much. I love your work, please never stop making music. It would break my heart... Your music heals it.
This song pretty much nails it for me. I’m a human being and I cannot ignore than I’m naturally vulnerable and I have the innate desire to love and be loved like everyone else deep down.
This song is so powerfull😍
I married the love of my life in October. We have loved each other since high school (15years old) our daughter is now 16... everything comes full circle.
This song reminds me of all the times that I've walked away from God just to find myself returning to Him again because in the end He is my everything.
Yes, because when God is the last thing we have, we realize that He is the only thing that we need! Without Him nothing makes sense, we live our lives without any purpose or direction. Don't give up! Fight for the salvation of your soul! Everything in this world will pass, so build eternal things! And the only way to God and the eternal life, is Jesus ♥
Amen ❤️🙏
Jocelys Perez me too😁🤗
I was just thinking this too. Glad you said it. :D
Jocelys Perez so very true. He's always there we are the ones that leave his grace.
This is one of there best songs by far, I know there is a wide array to choose from but you can't deny how good October really is!!
Going through the hardest time in life I've ever gone through. This song is everything. I just found God. This song speaks to me in a different language now than it used to. Hopefully I'll make it through
It's October/2022, and I'm listening this song at first time. I'm fall in love with it. I'm really fall in love... It's like a prayer... ❤️
same ♥
I love it since 2006 and returning every October
2October 2021 .. this song just hit my mind and crossed it by remembering October just has started 💫
Das Lied berührt mich immer noch, nach 20 Jahren..hebt es immer noch Gefühle hoch, als würde man eine Schublade aufmachen und mit dem Ende verschließt man es wieder.
I've come back to this song every October for years
April 19, 2019... And I'm still listening to this amazing work of art. This is music. Ah... How I miss the early 2000s. There aren't many good artists nowadays, it sucks.
October 2024. It really wonderful to see a lot of us coming back to this video every October to wish each other well. Happy October everyone. Rock on! ☕🍂🍁🎸😼🎃👻🧛🧟
Evanescence keeps me from dying of pop music.
Beautiful song, Evanescence is amazing I love Amy's beautiful voice
this song reminds me of him every time... his birthday is in late october. this song touches my soul... i have cried listening to it so many times. amy, thank you for making this beautiful song... it’s like you have read my heart. this describes everything i have felt for him, and still feel. i love him in a way that i shouldn’t, but i cannot help the way i feel. we cannot be together, but i will always love him eternally, even though i have accepted that we cannot be together. there are some people who are a part of your life and leave a mark on your heart that you can never get over... “im through fighting it”... and you just have to learn to accept that you’ll always love them. his soul is a part of my own, somehow... i believe he is a soulmate from a past life. “in all my bitterness, i ignored all thats real and true, all i need is you...” im sorry, and i love you, my angel. yes i have moved on, and im happy, but you will always be in my heart.
I only listen to this song in October... A habit that I've had for years
Dana and it's October
wow ! Me too ! It´s a ritual.
This is the reason I´m here today. By the way, it´s my birthday :)
Happy birthday :)
Wyncla Paz Happy Birthday!
Been my favorite song of theirs since I first heard it
I never get tired of this song. It does not matter how many times I play it. That's just too sad that Amy will never record this song again, or even Solitude or Anywhere. And I hope those ones never get lost on the internet.
I think I discovered this song when I was about 11. I can see right now comments of mine from 5 whole years ago. I'm 18 now and a totally different person. I've gone through years of many experiences I wish I hadn't gone through but they also made me the stronger person I am today and helped me learn. I'm extremely happy, have a lot more confidence in myself, and I'm learning to love myself, among other great things. To anyone struggling right now (because I HAVE been there), I want to say it DOES get better. I get waiting sucks, but sometimes all it takes is time.
I still love this song, and singing it again for the first time in years was an emotional experience. The way I felt when I was singing it was something different; I haven't felt that way about a song in a while. It has such a deep meaning, its so powerful. This song will always have my heart.
October 2022. Been listening to this song for years. Absolutely beautiful song that never gets old.
I started to listening to Evancence scans
I was 10 years old but now I am 17 but I am turning 18 soon but Amy Lee is the best Artists that I ever here her songs. But after my dad last away the songs she sings help me feel better :) :)
This was my favourite song back in 2014 when I was 14. I listen now and the song takes me back and I remember the headspace I was in which is incredibly haunting to think of now. How can a song so perfectly capture the feeling of depression? (My own interpretation of the song)
Preparing my first Saturday of October playlist and of course this is top on my list.... Beautiful song!!!
I was 15 yo when i first heard this song, now I'm 30 yo, still beautiful. Also all of the EP songs of Evanescence, before Fallen and all.
2020 still listening to this❤️
Listening to this beautiful song in october 🤍
Same.
My birthday month
Many years ago (about 7 ) i had the best days in my life and it was October...Now i will experience another great moment in my life..my daughter will be bornt and it will be again October..so this month means a lot to me..though some happy days passed away ..some other happy days will come and i am blessed..
Damn, it must be amazing to feel this way about someone, I hope one day I will...
Ha yeah I imagine he would, still it's nice that he's looking out for you :)
I feel this song powerful.
I cry when I hear it.
I feel this way about someone that I can’t be with.
Because I married a man who has never had any time for me in 26 years.
And the guy I have thease feelings for likes me a lot.
I wish I could have known this guy before the jerk I married.
Brenda Davis ouch, sorry to hear
No you don’t. You’ll want to die without them.
I don't wish that kinds of love on anyone. Co-dependant love, like this song is about, is unhealthy and emotionally damaging. Love yourself the best you can, be happy 100% in yourself first, without relying on someone else to make you happy.
This song perfectly describes my relationship with God. I've failed so many times but I always fall right back into his arms..

jwhitloctombraider I'm a former Christian and No God didn't help me so sadly I left "him" 😓
@@HxnnahTheHajPetter that sucks. Eternal flames is much worse js.
jwhitloctombraider yes, only a person who has been in a close relationship with God long enough knows His forgiveness and Mercy. I can perfectly understand how she describes that straying from Him was cutting her so deep. About how she couldn’t ignore Him because once you know Him you’re never the same again. About how He is her only strength, hope, love and how His Grace is abounding. Keep persevering my friend in Christ!! This song is special to me for the same reason. Like the Scriptures say you’re not suffering alone. & for anyone else on here who feel like the prodigal Son, He is waiting for you with open arms.
Sad my friend. How do you unbelieve? Time spent in His presence should not be undone. You may have been a rock, letting the water of Gods Spirit and Word flow over never pentatrating the soul when the idea is to become a sponge taking in all of whom He is! Once you truly know Him, you will never want to be out of His presence or will. I will pray for you!
