According to a former member of the band: Well, it's really about a guy and a girl who are best friends and were secretly in love with each other but didn't act on it. One of them suddenly died, and the other was left with this incredible feeling of loneliness and regret because she never told him how much she loved him. Then, she feels that her friend's ghost is haunting her and she wants him to just leave her alone. . .but she doesn;t want to let him go at the same time
Possibly, but, I've read the song is referring to the death of Amy's little sister. They were both quite young when she passed away. I believe quite a few Evanescence songs are in memoriam of her sister.
@@pastrybaker72 I know for sure that “hello” and “like you” are about her little sis. My immortal was more of a Ben Moody song. At least that’s what I’ve heard countless times.
I've seen former convicts and gritty biker dudes tear up from this song (and the official video.) This was my late girlfriend's favorite song by her favorite band, and was one of the songs she performed for women in shelters and people at soup kitchens. It will always remind me of her, but with a tearful smile not regret. I always take it that it's about a relationship that ended not necessarily a death as that person's memory remains even though they don't, but it works either way. Thank you for giving this a listen. Great reaction as always!
when Amy was 6 her 3 year old sister died, they came and told her at school.. that had to be devastating.. so think about a girl losing her little sister and the bond two sisters have then listen to this song and u understand the lyrics better, that is what this song was for
This Song Just Hits Different Amy’s Voice is Hauntingly Angelic The Official Video adds another Level of Emotion for Me Thankfully the Band come in near the End because the Song needs to give us a break of Emotions this Song Delivers
One of the guys in the band (Ben Moody) lost his grandfather, and his death inspired Moody to write this song. Although it was inspired by that passing, the song is actually about a guy who's girl has died. In the official video, Moody plays the role of the bereaved guy, and Amy Lee (the singer) plays the ghost of the dead girl. She sings what is going on in his head as he struggles to deal with the death of the woman he loved (so, it's the dead girl singing his thoughts...hopefully that makes sense.) The song is called, "My Immortal," because she is forever frozen in his mind the way that she was when she died...she can never age, so she's immortal. Hope that helps.
Her little sister, Bonnie, died unexpectedly at the age of three in 1987 from an unidentified illness when Amy herself was six. The song is about losing her little sister.
Beautiful reaction to a mesmerizing song. Can't wait for you to discover more wonderful Evanescence songs. My suggestion for the next reaction is: My Heart Is Broken. I bet you'll love it. Thank you for such a heartfelt reaction, much love.
Simply beautiful song. She really does have an angelic voice, and you can really hear the emotion and sadness come thru when she sings it. You should watch the video, too.
Actuality it is about her sister who died when she was 3 years old and Amy Lee was 6. She also wrote other songs about her sister...one of which is "Hello".
Thanks for the shout out. Glad you liked it. It used to make my allergies act up, to paraphrase your Dad, but thankfully I’m in a different place nowadays. 🙌
It is about her taking her own life, that is why there are the bandages on her wrist, she is singing to the love she left behind, she is a ghost so to speak!
Amy is incredible talented woman, and there are others as well, Lizzy Hale from Halestrom, Maria Brick of In This Moment, and Kristen May of Flyleaf, and Taylor Momsen of The Pretty Reckless, who is the little girl in the movie how the grinch stole christmas with Jim Carrey
They passed away! That feeling when someone passed and your left alone! Feeling haunted by that person! You know that a piece of them is still with you and you no longer wish to be here! But you press on with the broken pieces! Bless you! Shawn 🎼🎃💙🦋🐾🐈
When this song came out my young very beautiful wife died. Suddenly without goodbye. It sent me into a dark place that I almost didn't make it out of. Every word applied to us. Very strange but true....now, 16 years later she still haunts me.
One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Always moves me. I am old and think about either my wife or I passing before the other and this is the song sung by the one who has passed. Even after my death, she would still have all of me
she was going thru a breakup with Shaun Morgan “the lead singer of the group Seether”.. he had a drug problem and she loved him so much.. she sang several songs about it including the monster hit Seether sang called “Broken” when she sang with them
Thank you for your great reaction to this hauntingly beautiful song. Amy Lee has a beautiful voice, indeed, and this song just grabs you and never lets go. It's one of those mesmerizing songs you just can't seem to forget.
It's so much better to be able to read with her voice especially if this is a first time. You get the opportunity to see the poetry and feel the meaning.
A lovely reaction to an amazing song, so powerful and emotional. I believe Amy wrote this song as a tribute to her baby sister who drowned many years ago.
There is actually a "Strings Version" of this song, with no drums or guitar. It's nice but I much prefer this version because of the energy rollercoaster ride it takes you on.
Hey you. We need some more! :) What I find incredible is that this sing, and Bring Me to Life came off their first album, and they were not really ready for the fame and fortune that was suddenly thrust upon them. Although the co-founder Ben Moody left the band shortly thereafter, they still have three more albums since the first, with the last one being 2021. They are really good. Have I ever lied to you before? :)
@@rx7dude2006 I remember an interview with Ben and Amy saying Ben wrote the song about Amy. Apparently he was in love with her. And he left the group because he saw it was really becoming Amy's band. He wanted to take the band into a different direction but he loved her. So he let her live her dream.
@@rx7dude2006 Actually they are. Ben Moody wrote this as a short story about the passing of one of his grandparents. They reworked the story and turned into the song it is today. There are 2 versions of the song "Bliss" Version from the CD Fallen and the "Band" version which they released as a free download later. This is one of Amy's least liked songs and rarely plays it live anymore although in recent interviews she says she has come to like the song a little more now.
@@Sam-xr8ne All wrong. Ben wrote this about a grand parent, yes Ben and Amy "briefly" dated it was short lived. Ben was bipolar and a heavy drinker. While on tour for the Fallen Cd Seether was the back up band and Amy started taking a liking to Sean Morgan, Seether's lead singer. Ben Moody said to hell with this quit the band and went back home the next day.
I love this band and this song. I can relate to this song. I sing it often and have been told i sound alot like amy lee when i sing but noone i mean noone is as good as she is. LFR Niah you should check out her song speak to me breathe no more ect also a song i would really love you to do a reaction to is by a band called Citizen Soldier and would anyone care it's a song that i can relate to alot. It's sad but beautiful. And you're killin it with these videos girl. Keep up the good work. I think you would love Hello by Evanescence. You should listen to her live it will give you goosebumps.
I love this beautiful song so so much... Great reaction, more Evanescence please... Please react to “Spiritbox” with the song “Constance,” it’s the most beautiful and emotional song I’ve ever heard, it’s a masterpiece of pure art and emotion...
Niha ( you beautiful thing, you) some songs to react to Killers. Mr Brightside. Falling for someone you can’t have Cold Chisel. Khe Sanh. Teenager goes to war Cold Chisel. Cheap wine and a three day growth. Loosing it all Cold Chisel. Flame trees. Lost love Anything from AC/DC. Hard Rock Sounds of Silence. Disturbed. Haunting and tough
Was SO HOPING you would listen to this song. (it's the perfect song for you that she did) As with all great art forget what she means, what does the song make YOU feel. :)
Broken by seethed with Amy Lee Duet. It’s a very deep and beautiful song check it. Oh and absolutely, I’d consider it an honor to sing to you this song, daily. Be careful what you ask for
Amy Lee and Lacey Sturm are my all-time favorite female singers. Their voices are so unique, it’s staggering. Check out Flyleaf “Breathe Today” it’s incredible
Moody (author of song) said that the song talks about "a spirit staying with you after its death and haunting you until you actually wish that the spirit were gone because it won't leave you alone."
To me it about he left her, but it can be he died, but you see him walking away in the video, that why i believe he left her, got successful found someone younger and a majority of the time, that happens not all the time, her pain seems to be more about her sticking with him thru his fears and held his hand thru rhe years love this song her feeling raw and real
I would love to see you react to "Je Suis Malade" by Lara Fabian. She's considered one of the best voices in the world, even though she's not famous in the US. The song is in French, but there's a video with English subtitles. It's one of the best live emotional performances you'll ever see. Another one of my favorites if you want to keep it in English is Tennessee Whiskey by Chris Stapleton (Austin City Limits Performance)
Amy Lee is one of the best singers in rock. Listen to her singing on Seether's "Broken" that she did with them. They had already released their normal version of it, but the one with her is waaaaaaay better.
Omg Yes that one gets me bawling everytime or john michael Montgomery the little girl or concrete angel by martina McBride those are 3 tear jerkers. I'll wait for you by joe nichols is another one i cry listening to. Or Gods will by martina McBride if she reacted to any of these on the try not to cry challenge i don't think she'd make it since she said she's a sensitive person. I am as well so i cry very easily.
I'm unsure whats beautiful. The one that's reacting to the song or the song itself, or is it a mixture of both, that fits well together. I for one pick the latter.

@@reemlage1986 Either/Or, still a beautiful song. Thanks for your input. Much appreciated.
@@pastrybaker72 agreed! most definitely a beautiful song. : )
@@reemlage1986 Yes, this was song was based on a story Ben wrote for his grandfather. "Hello" was written about the death of her little sister.
My son Michael passed away in November 19 ,2012 I played this song at his celebration of life!! One of the most beautiful yet sad songs ever!!!
Most men shed a tear over this song, no worries
*Simps
Yeah, I used to literally not be able to listen to this song. I still cry to it. It’s beautiful and sad at the same time.
This man loved this song so much back in high school, he taught himself how to play it on the piano.
facts
I'm not afraid of my feelings I 100% cried my first time listening to this song and it still grabs me deep in my soul.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written
and the best reactor lol
THE most beautiful song ever written.

The official music video will bring you to tears in a good way. I know that because it makes me cry. I wish you all the very best.
This Song Just Hits Different
Amy’s Voice is Hauntingly Angelic
The Official Video adds another Level of Emotion for Me
Thankfully the Band come in near the End because the Song needs to give us a break of Emotions this Song Delivers
This song is a watershed moment for Evanescence. It brought them to consolidate their brilliance!!! Check them out !!
I believe this song was written after Amy Lee (Lead Singer) lost her sister.
Please check out “Tourniquet” by Evanescence
There are so many songs like this from that time that I love lol I’m old, keep looking for songs around this time they are good

This.
My heart is broken is a must.
That's the beauty of well done art. You take away from it what it means to you.
Simply beautiful song. She really does have an angelic voice, and you can really hear the emotion and sadness come thru when she sings it. You should watch the video, too.
This pulls on my heart strings
Actuality it is about her sister who died when she was 3 years old and Amy Lee was 6. She also wrote other songs about her sister...one of which is "Hello".
She's immortal so every one has passed that she loved
nice catch!
Thanks for the shout out. Glad you liked it. It used to make my allergies act up, to paraphrase your Dad, but thankfully I’m in a different place nowadays. 🙌
It is about her taking her own life, that is why there are the bandages on her wrist, she is singing to the love she left behind, she is a ghost so to speak!
hearbreakingly beautiful song
Amy has such a beautiful voice. I love this band!
Wow that's a first,
Never seen someone not get emotional to this emotional song.
Even all the dudes get a tear! That includes me.
Amy is incredible talented woman, and there are others as well, Lizzy Hale from Halestrom, Maria Brick of In This Moment, and Kristen May of Flyleaf, and Taylor Momsen of The Pretty Reckless, who is the little girl in the movie how the grinch stole christmas with Jim Carrey
She past away but she's unaware of it. So she lingers in her sadness. 😢
They passed away! That feeling when someone passed and your left alone! Feeling haunted by that person! You know that a piece of them is still with you and you no longer wish to be here! But you press on with the broken pieces! Bless you!
Shawn 🎼🎃💙🦋🐾🐈
What is grief if not love persevering?
Just imagine loss tapping you on the shoulder and telling you "it'll be ok"....
You should have chosen the official video. That's fantastic.
To behonest sometimes you need to close your eyes and just take the music in .
I think just the music is more powerful. You can really focus on the vocals and lyrics
@@douglastaggart9360 yeah
Oh my word i feel this song.
When this song came out my young very beautiful wife died. Suddenly without goodbye. It sent me into a dark place that I almost didn't make it out of. Every word applied to us. Very strange but true....now, 16 years later she still haunts me.

emy lee... your my heart... you best singer of usa.... love you
Amy Lee has amazing vocals! And the piano is so underrated! Love the band!
This song touches me! 🙃
Thank you for your great reaction to this hauntingly beautiful song. Amy Lee has a beautiful voice, indeed, and this song just grabs you and never lets go. It's one of those mesmerizing songs you just can't seem to forget.
Her voice hypnotizes you almost like your in a trance
A song that tells you... "goodbye.it will all be ok"
It's so much better to be able to read with her voice especially if this is a first time. You get the opportunity to see the poetry and feel the meaning.
Every day. xD
Dudes be lookin' at me sideways when I sing this karaoke. I'mma still do it though. lol
A lovely reaction to an amazing song, so powerful and emotional. I believe Amy wrote this song as a tribute to her baby sister who drowned many years ago.
This song was about a loved one who passed away. In the music video she never touches the ground cos she's a ghost
Thinking of my cousins daughter who took her life. Heartache of a song. Can apply to any heartbreak.
There is actually a "Strings Version" of this song, with no drums or guitar. It's nice but I much prefer this version because of the energy rollercoaster ride it takes you on.

Evanescence. My heart is broken
Nice. Keep it up with more Evanescence. 👍
Such a sweet reaction
The video does way more justice to this song than just the lyrics
Amy has an angelical voice
Yeah, you're correct, it is song about her sister who passed away when Amy was 4 years old..😔
Absolutely correct. Very deep lyrics with glorious voice,
Her voice is like a violin.
If I'm not mistaken her sister passed away when she was young. I think this song as well as hello are dedicated to her.
Ben Moody actually wrote the lyrics and aren't about anyone in particular.
Both Amy and Ben wrote it and Ben drew inspiration from his grandfather passing if I can recall

Stay by Sugarland

Hate me by Blue october
Was SO HOPING you would listen to this song. (it's the perfect song for you that she did) As with all great art forget what she means, what does the song make YOU feel. :)
This is such a great band. Please check out 'Hello' and 'Lithium'.
Amy Lee has an angels voice.
Classic early 00’s rock ballad coming from an album that sold 14 million copies, high school memories 😂🥺😍 #Awwwww
@Mike Mike Facts,Sony discmans were bomb!😂
@Mike Mike Or when you’d download a movie on limewire and it ended up not being the movie it said it was 😆
Early 2000's was great.The music,the movies,the party life etc.I miss that era so much.
The person died and he's there in her heart but she's alone in life
nope, she passed and is singing to the person still alive.
That whole record was about her sister that drowned in a bathtub when any was in elementary school in little rock arkansas
Two of her siblings have died. Her sister when they were both very young. 😢 you should do lithium or call me when you’re sober ❤
Broken by seethed with Amy Lee Duet. It’s a very deep and beautiful song check it. Oh and absolutely, I’d consider it an honor to sing to you this song, daily. Be careful what you ask for
Her sister died. Need to watch the official video. More impactful
Need to listen to Hello on this album. Best song on the entire album
Amy Lee and Lacey Sturm are my all-time favorite female singers. Their voices are so unique, it’s staggering. Check out Flyleaf “Breathe Today” it’s incredible
Moody (author of song) said that the song talks about "a spirit staying with you after its death and haunting you until you actually wish that the spirit were gone because it won't leave you alone."
Both Amy Lee and Ben Moody are co-authors of this song.
Listen lost in paradise by them it's a Pure masterpiece
Amy had a younger sister, Bonnie, who died in 1987 at the age of three...could be a coincidence
To me it about he left her, but it can be he died, but you see him walking away in the video, that why i believe he left her, got successful found someone younger and a majority of the time, that happens not all the time, her pain seems to be more about her sticking with him thru his fears and held his hand thru rhe years love this song her feeling raw and real

If you watch the official video you will cry your eyes out!
The piano is my weakness!
You are correct and it was definitely very hard on her.
Fireeeee
Whoever she is talking about has passed on. I have heard this song was about her sister who passed away.
nobody ever recommends hello, and its one of the most haunting songs ever...
Amy Lee is one of the best singers in rock. Listen to her singing on Seether's "Broken" that she did with them. They had already released their normal version of it, but the one with her is waaaaaaay better.
Sweet heart; sister you got it, totally what it means :)
Have you ever heard "Alyssa lies" by Jason Michael Carroll That might be a good one for a try not to Cry Challenge, it gets me every bloody time!
Omg Yes that one gets me bawling everytime or john michael Montgomery the little girl or concrete angel by martina McBride those are 3 tear jerkers. I'll wait for you by joe nichols is another one i cry listening to. Or Gods will by martina McBride if she reacted to any of these on the try not to cry challenge i don't think she'd make it since she said she's a sensitive person. I am as well so i cry very easily.
I think this song is made in honor of her sister, that passed away when Amy was young but I'm not sure.
I'm unsure whats beautiful. The one that's reacting to the song or the song itself, or is it a mixture of both, that fits well together. I for one pick the latter.
Amy Lee is the main force behind all of Evanescence.
🖤🖤🖤💯
you should check out Halestorm featuring Amy Lee....."Break in"
Her brother passed away
This was about her sister who died
I know the video is not blocked on other sites. Wondering why you didn't choose it
Or..just relate it to something in your life..then it makes it much better appreciate her talent.
you should watch the video...it just seems to mean more...Amy Lee is stunning....in the video she isan angel/ghost and never touches the ground
If you haven't heard "when the children cry" with White Lion. I recommend it.
I think you would love to hear Skillet ☺
Good one!
