Amy's sister died when they were young. She has said in interviews that she wrote the song about her. But it fits with a bad break up too. I love the symbolism in the video.
@@newgrl Very interesting. My little bro died when he was 24, and I was 25. We were 368 days apart. So our birthdays were 3 days apart, and we always celebrated them together. People thought we were twins. Yes, the symbolism is real.
@@newgrl Ben Moody wrote the lyrics inspired by his Grandfather and his passing. Amy wrote Hello for her deceased sister, another haunting performance by the Great Amy Lee.
This song hits home for me. This song was playing when we got the call from the Dr. that i have cancer and there is nothing they can do. i sat on my husbands lap and we both cried for a long time, we have been together since we were very young looks like that is all there is left no more time. I don't know how he will be once i am gone. It hurts my heart. Awesome reaction. Regards to you and your family From the one and only Memphis Tn. lol your dog video bombed you cute.
For the "record": "The lyrics of the song refer to a spirit that haunts the memory of a grieving loved one. Similar to several other songs written by [Ben] Moody, the lyrics of the song are based on a short story he had previously written. According to Lee, it was "Ben [Moody]'s song." Moody 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." He also stated in the booklet of Fallen that he dedicated the song to his grandfather, Bill Holcomb. In "My Immortal", Lee expresses her feelings through the line, "Though you're still with me / I've been alone all along.A writer for IGN said that "'My Immortal' is a song of pain and despair caused by the loss of a family member or very close friend and how it drove her [Lee] to the edge of insanity."

"Call Me When You're Sober" is peak Evanescence if you're looking for the rock vibe, with "Going Under" and "Everybody's Fool" in the same vein. Or if you want to find new rabbit holes to fall down, check out her collaborations with violinist Lindsay Sterling ("Love Goes On and On") or Lzzy Hale from Halestorm ("Break In").
Aaaaaawwwww, near the end, midst of the major music, it was sooo cute watching your dog make his own bed on your bed. He's a lil cutey!!!!! As now you know why we kept telling you to react to this song. This shows the powerful, vulnerable Amy Lee. The operatics of her voice.
I can tell you this song epitomizes what it's like to live with an alcoholic or addict for 30 plus years and clean up their messes for them. I always get something in my eye when I hear this song.
This and Bring Me to Life are my karaoke jams. Not only are they both extremely listenable, but they are so fun to sing. Powerful. She wrote both songs as a teenager!
Shon, I love your reactions so bloody much! And what you said about this song and how it switched up, I love your perspective. Thanks for sharing your reactions. You are so refreshingly real xx God Bless from Perth Australia (Down Under 😘)
Amy Lee has one of the best rock voices. For story telling listen to “everybody’s fool” it’s how the music industry tries to fit you in their mold. Check it out
Great reaction! For me, this song is about losing a loved one and the difficulties of trying to come to terms with their loss. My husband passed away last November and I played this song at his funeral. I miss him everyday. 🤘Rock On!🤘 Kelly
There's a version of this song where that end portion is a really beautiful piano, way more involved than what had been used through the rest of the song. But this one here where it shifts to rock is my favorite.
You dog in the back reminded me of my dog. Same size,color and look. He even did the blanket thing my dog did. He would scrunch up the blanket all around then lay down. My dog Opie would the blanket in his mouth some times not chew just hold. Oh , my baby only had a nub of a tail. You brought back some great memories, thanks.
I can literally listen to her for hours. You have THE BEST reactions! This song was actually in the movie Daredevil along with several other songs of hers.
You know this year marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Fallen, their breakthrough album which included both Bring me to life and My Immortal among other hits. They just released a couple of days ago a previously unreleased demo of Bring me to life they did in 2002. You should check it out. It’s in their RUclips channel
The best part about this version of this song is that this is what’s considered the “band version” the original track on the album was the piano version, much softer. This was actually a hidden bonus track that people only knew about if they listened all the way to the end of the album. I remember getting this album when I was younger and hearing this version for the first time, I was just so excited for the band to pick up towards the end!
Hey Bro...Killer Reaction...This version is called "The Band Version" anf it did not appear on thier first album. They Re-released it...I Love the original version as much as this one...Thanks again Bro !!
Absolutely love your reactions, your energy gets me all hyped. React to Broken - Amy Lee and Seether. Absolutely 🔥. Her voice is amazing, hits you in the soul. Mad Love❤
The band and Amy Lee especially have had a rough go at it, she lost 2 siblings and the band was forced to break up at one point when the label insisted on a male lead singer and they wouldn't do it. Eventually they gave in and got back together. But they've had more trouble since then too.
saw Evanescence live last year with Within Temptation after them ,she had a little vocal problem but the still sounded good. im happy she didnt cancel it. cause it was prosponed for 2 years cause of corona.
Amy Lee vocals are insane. A hauntingly beautiful song. If you want ANOTHER hauntingly beautiful song PLEAEE check out the live version of Uninvited by Alanis. Will blow you out of your chair.
Good reaction. One of my favourite artists. If you haven't come across her yet, Kasey Chambers (Australian Country/Folk artist) does a cover of Eminem's 'Lose Yourself' that will be worth your time to listen to. Kasey is renown for how much emotion she dumps into her singing - she really brings out all of the emotions that Eminem piled into that song. Besides, hearing 'lose yourself' done on a banjo? How could you resist?
Hey Shon, if you're gonna check out any more Amy Lee/Evanescence videos you'd be very happy if you chose 'Lithium' next. No words to describe it. Be good 🙋♂
Love Evanescence. Amy's voice is something else. Everyone's going to throw out a bunch of their singles and those are worth checking out, but I'll toss out Your Star as a song you should listen to.
Also, just heard you praise her voice and comparing it to Disney s material. You know what’s funny? Disney asked her to write a couple of songs for Narnia and she did but they thought it was too dark, so she used them for their second album, The Open Door. The songs were Lacrymosa which made it into the album and Together Again which was released as a b side.
your dog felt the song. in the end when she was fading he/she was walking in cirkels and then lay down. maby lucky maby not :D but that was funny to me.
Amy Lee has one of the best voices ever.
💯
Absolutely
Agree and I just discovered her.
I'm 61 and have grown up on a lot of different women voices and by far Amy's is the greatest!
Easily top three of all pop artists ever - if we're judging by personal style.
Amy Lee has such a beautiful voice ! Supposedly, it's about the "spirit" of her loved one who died, won't leave her alone.
Amy's sister died when they were young. She has said in interviews that she wrote the song about her. But it fits with a bad break up too. I love the symbolism in the video.

@@newgrl Ben Moody wrote the lyrics inspired by his Grandfather and his passing. Amy wrote Hello for her deceased sister, another haunting performance by the Great Amy Lee.
Also on their Open Door Album the song 'Like You' has links to her sister who died. A very deep and dark song.
@@andyroberts2435 great song and Far From Heaven she wrote about her Brother, such sadness for her!!
This is what angels sound like.... ❤
Gets me everytime! 😢 shes beautiful with a fantastic voice ❤
This song hits home for me.

Praying for you PJ ❤🙏
I was there. Scared and feeling helpless. Still here now and hope you have the same luck I have enjoyed.
Your dog was chillin with it. 😊
She draws you in with her eyes and then hits you with that angelic voice

"Going Under" for sure! One of my favorites.
I love your puppy making his little nest behind you!!
This song live is even better!! You should react to her song "Lithium"!!! Amy Lee is a beast!!! One of the most gorgeous voices ever!!🎵🎼🎶🎤🎹🎸🥁🔥💜🤘🤘
Aaaaaawwwww, near the end, midst of the major music, it was sooo cute watching your dog make his own bed on your bed. He's a lil cutey!!!!! As now you know why we kept telling you to react to this song. This shows the powerful, vulnerable Amy Lee. The operatics of her voice.
You’re f ing great, buddy. Thank you.
She has such a great voice
Love your enthusiastic reactions. So honest and passionate for the songs. Thank you thank you thank you.
I love her voice I love the band their great
I can tell you this song epitomizes what it's like to live with an alcoholic or addict for 30 plus years and clean up their messes for them. I always get something in my eye when I hear this song.
'Everybody's Fool' is perhaps my favorite Evanescence tune. I think you would love it. Cheers.
One of my favorites ❤
Great Song
Amy Lee’s Voice is Hauntingly Angelic
Loved your reaction. Keep on keeping on!
I've watched so many of your videos, you never disappoint.
This and Bring Me to Life are my karaoke jams. Not only are they both extremely listenable, but they are so fun to sing. Powerful. She wrote both songs as a teenager!
Shon, I love your reactions so bloody much! And what you said about this song and how it switched up, I love your perspective. Thanks for sharing your reactions. You are so refreshingly real xx God Bless from Perth Australia (Down Under 😘)
You nailed the feelings we all have hearing this banger. If you have ever broken up with someone you truly loved this will get you in the feels
Her voice is angelic ✌️. Love your reactions!!
Amy Lee has one of the best rock voices. For story telling listen to “everybody’s fool” it’s how the music industry tries to fit you in their mold. Check it out
"Lithium" is another great Evanescence song that really showcases Amy Lee's vocals.
Great reaction! For me, this song is about losing a loved one and the difficulties of trying to come to terms with their loss. My husband passed away last November and I played this song at his funeral. I miss him everyday. 🤘Rock On!🤘 Kelly
My favorite song ever. Love your reaction
I don’t think I’ve ever listing to this song once. I always have to listen to it a second time.
She ended her pain
She ended her life
🙏
Amy Lee will always be my crush! 😍
Her voice is so damn haunting and angelic all at once. And her eyes could stop a freight train.
There's a version of this song where that end portion is a really beautiful piano, way more involved than what had been used through the rest of the song. But this one here where it shifts to rock is my favorite.
Going Under should def be your next reaction!
You dog in the back reminded me of my dog. Same size,color and look. He even did the blanket thing my dog did. He would scrunch up the blanket all around then lay down. My dog Opie would the blanket in his mouth some times not chew just hold. Oh , my baby only had a nub of a tail. You brought back some great memories, thanks.
Omg bruh, your dog is so cute! Great reaction, hope you continue!
One of the best songs of the 21st century, so far...
Hauntingly Beautiful 🥰
I can literally listen to her for hours. You have THE BEST reactions! This song was actually in the movie Daredevil along with several other songs of hers.
Sweet Sacrifice and Going Under and more rock and intense - definitely recommend.
You know this year marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Fallen, their breakthrough album which included both Bring me to life and My Immortal among other hits. They just released a couple of days ago a previously unreleased demo of Bring me to life they did in 2002. You should check it out. It’s in their RUclips channel
Few people talk about Broken. React to that! Her and Seether...chef's kiss.
Love your content my friend! One love!
That drop is immortal.......so is the guitar tone right after it drops.
"Lithium" is an epic song of theirs, but lots to choose from!
The best part about this version of this song is that this is what’s considered the “band version” the original track on the album was the piano version, much softer. This was actually a hidden bonus track that people only knew about if they listened all the way to the end of the album.

Hey Bro...Killer Reaction...This version is called "The Band Version" anf it did not appear on thier first album. They Re-released it...I Love the original version as much as this one...Thanks again Bro !!
There is a live concert version of this song on youtube and it is just as amazing as the studio version.
We saw those tears.
This song is so personal to me. It reminds me of my soulmate who I lost to suicide. Your reactions are always so pure and genuine. Thank you for that.
Amy knows how to control and use the power she has.
This is about her younger brother passed away.. 😢👍👍👍 she got her brother pictures on Instagram with their family
Nope
I love Amy Lee check out her playing the piano in Lost in Paradise great song ❤
Such a great voice, haunting on this song.
May I suggest LP Lost on You live studio for another haunting voice 🎶🎵💚
AMEN❤❤❤
Amy Lee ... what a Beautiful human Being!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely love your reactions, your energy gets me all hyped.
React to Broken - Amy Lee and Seether. Absolutely 🔥. Her voice is amazing, hits you in the soul. Mad Love❤
Btw it is from the Daredevil movie. There also is the Band Version.
I believe this song is about the loss of her sister if I'm not mistaken.. if you keep that mind while listening it's a bit harder hitting.
The band and Amy Lee especially have had a rough go at it, she lost 2 siblings and the band was forced to break up at one point when the label insisted on a male lead singer and they wouldn't do it. Eventually they gave in and got back together. But they've had more trouble since then too.

Amy Lee vocals are insane. A hauntingly beautiful song. If you want ANOTHER hauntingly beautiful song PLEAEE check out the live version of Uninvited by Alanis. Will blow you out of your chair.
This is about her sister that died. Makes me cry.
Nope
Love her voice and OMG YOUR PUPPY!! Please check out Conquer Divide "Chemicals" or "Atonement"!!
First time I heard this I was driving to work and absolutely lost it. Was going through a hard breakup and it just hit so hard
Respect
Another guaranteed playlist is their song "Going Under." Absolute, guaranteed playlist. Please do that one next. I guarantee it, 100%.
Good reaction. One of my favourite artists.

Besides, hearing 'lose yourself' done on a banjo? How could you resist?
My personal favorite is "Lithium".... Her voice.... Yes
I actually believe that SHE is the one who has passed on ...
Yes. Notice the bandages on her wrists, she never touches the ground and the children don't react to her.
Hey Shon, if you're gonna check out any more Amy Lee/Evanescence videos you'd be very happy if you chose 'Lithium' next. No words to describe it. Be good 🙋♂
I love Amy Lee!! If you love her you need to check out Skunk Anansie “Weak” or “Charlie big potato”… sheer perfection.
3:50 Yes, it does happen.
TY for watching this & you have a very cute puppy
Amy Lee is an angel always will be
Suggestion: Please review "The Stray Cats". The song is "Stray Cat Strut". It is considered "Rockabilly" music.
Amy= female GOAT!
*You might want to check out the 90s band WHALE with their hit HOBO HUMPIN SLOBO BABE. It's a trip.*
If you experienced loss in your life this beautiful song will deeply resonate with you. Love it, but can't hear it without tearing up 😢
As others have mentioned, I highly recommend "Broken" by Seether with Amy Lee of Evanescence.
Love Evanescence. Amy's voice is something else. Everyone's going to throw out a bunch of their singles and those are worth checking out, but I'll toss out Your Star as a song you should listen to.
Also, just heard you praise her voice and comparing it to Disney s material. You know what’s funny? Disney asked her to write a couple of songs for Narnia and she did but they thought it was too dark, so she used them for their second album, The Open Door.
The songs were Lacrymosa which made it into the album and Together Again which was released as a b side.
This breaks me every time I hear this , its a painful part of my life😪
❤️❤️❤️
I don't think anyone can listen to this and not say damm this girl can sing
Did you notice her feet never touched the ground.
Going Under is similar in style to Bring Me To Life. If you wanted something like this one then Hello is the way to go. Genuinely haunting.
♥
your dog felt the song. in the end when she was fading he/she was walking in cirkels and then lay down. maby lucky maby not :D but that was funny to me.
💖
Metallica's Nothing Else Matters does the same with the music, but way more intricate.
i needed to watch this at low volume because i didnt feel like crying.
edit:i cried anyway, when it got to 4:56.
This is about the guitar players grand father he wrote this when he was 16
Amy Lee is perfection.
🇨🇦 Wrong end of the stick, Bro ! This is about memories, memories of a loved one, a loved one that passed away !
What's the name of your Dog?
Martina McBride Concrete Angel. Let’s do it!!!
I recommend watching the origional without the snowy features and the grey cast to it it takes away from it
spiritbox - constance
