@robrs2000 no, my only best friend from school, I was closer to her than I am my blood sister that I saw in 1997, she's inky down the road, her mental illness makes her a very angry and hateful person, and I pity her. Rhona and I left home at 15 on 1985 and joined a bike gang, Highlands of Scotland, corrupt police, I found out the truth when I moved back up here in 2012, let's just say guilt does awful things to a man who was meant to love her. ❤️ He too is dead due to what he did to her.

I'm sorry for your loss... I cannot imagine losing my wife, but the thought of her hanging around until my passing is soothing. God bless you getting through.

Amy lost her little sister who was 3yo when she passed. And while Amy has a lot of songs openly dedicated to her, this one was not confirmed to be such, but there is no doubt in my mind the event influenced this incredibly sad song. Amy is the oldest of five siblings, and she lost her brother a couple of years back to severe epilepsy, when he was 24. I am youngest of 3 siblings and can not imagine her pain, and the fact that she is creating masterpieces out of it is worth admiration at the very least.

The song is about a child, her baby sister who died. It's about her spirit still lingering with her and memories. All her songs have meaning. You should check out memories by within temptation. It's amazing.

This album was one of those rare ones that every, single song was amazing. Very rare. Legendary.

She has one of the most pure and ethereal voices you may ever hear. She either wrote or cowrote the majority of their songs.

I love her voice. It's so haunting but in a good way.

She wrote the song My Immortal after the death of a Sibling.... Beautiful tribute ..

Amy Lee is an amazing singer. She is the lead singer for Evanescence. Bring Me To Life is one that you've probably heard. It's the song that put them on the map.

The times I've bawled my eyes out while listening to this song... It was breathtaking when it came out. Its that soft, velvety Aimee Lee's voice texture that is so hauntingly beautiful. Also she is an amazing pianist.

You need to know that Halestorm is more pure rock bordering on hard rock. Also, Lzzy's voice is very different. Evanescence was half a decade after Nightwish. Maybe check out Within Temptation for the same genre. Amaranthe is unique, blending multiple genres with 3 singers. For female fronted rock bands, I like Halestorm the best. The Pretty Reckless is also good. 💜

A seriously underrated singer. 'Bring me to life' was what first drew me to them.

One of the most hauntingly beautiful songs ever

She was popping early 2000’s

I lost both of my parents when I was young, and this song came out a decade later. It's always resonated with me. This is how I feel about having had to live most of my life without them -- despite the many years, they are the first thing I think about with every new event in my life. They still "have all of me".

Her voice is haunting. This song is so relatable to many for many different reasons. Loss of a loved one by death or just the death of a relationship. When she sings, "But though you're still with me, I've been alone all the long" implies a relationship where one person is still holding on while the other is half way out the door.

Oh you will love this rabbit hole. You feel her voice❤️‍🔥

One of my favorite groups

Still struggle to listen to this song to this day. It came out only a couple of days after my fiancé passed away. It’s a beautiful song, and Amy Lee is an incredible singer and writer. Also to my memory, the album didn’t have the “heavy bit” which was only put in for the single.

It was actually written by Amy Lee, the singer. She wrote it when her sister died.

She’s in white, he’s in black. She is always on something (car roof, tree, scaffolding, etc.) and he is always grounded. Amy Lee once said that this song was the perspective of a spirit trying to move on after death, but her loved one can’t let go.

I'm not a night wish fan. However I will always show up for some Amy Lee. Her music has gotten me through a lot over the years. Even during times I wasn't going through it. I'm still so captivated by her voice and always get sucked in. Her presence is just so powerful to me, and her music is so deep and raw. I love all types of music. However, for me, the deeper the message, the better. I just love that real, raw ish. I love the art of music period. It's one thing for someone to make music but if you can captivate people like that, you just can not deny the level of skill. Also like you said it's rare to find breakup music like this. Yes, there may be more artists going in this deep about a legit lost love. However, when she came on the scene, there just wasn't at all. I also love how well the band just comes in at just the right time to put perfect emphasis on the emotion being conveyed at that moment. ❤❤

It was released a while ago my daughter introduced me to this group and I'm so grateful. My daughter is no longer with us but every time I hear music Kaitlyn shared with me, my heart is full. Thank you

When my wife passed away this song helped me get out a ton of emotion. I didn't appreciate the song until I could relate to it. Amazing song.

She wrote the song about her sister who died One good thing about her video is that it can be interpreted anyway that you wish to be and she left it open for that. The actual words and the song was about her sister but if you wished, It could be about anybody you cared for. One thing I want you to think about and watch the video notice that he's walking around and never sees her. She never touches the ground. She's a ghost.

the lyrics were contributed by band member ben moody and they have nothing to do with amy's sister. the song about her sister is called hello, not my immortal. sorry but that's how it is...😉

This song saved DMCs (from Run DMC) life. I remember hearing an interview where he told a story of being really depressed and hearing this song and it helped him get though. He ended up listening to this song at least once a day

I think this is about a loved one dying. She's dressed in white and never touches the ground in the video - possibly representing an angel.

I actually chose this song to dance with my first son that got married. I have 4 sons and we have been through so many struggles together with me as a single mother. But we danced and I cried with happiness for the entire song. Her voice was just amazing and especially wiping away the tears felt right. But please listen to some of her other songs, they are all great.

They are very good. Bring me to Life is their breakout song and this song is on the same album. The original "My Immortal" is only piano and Amy Lee. This version with the band is a later version with the video. I don't think it was actually included on the original release but came later on the deluxe release. Both are extremely good

@corriban

I always thought the video version and expecially how the the band guys seem to "rock out hard" when they come in was a bit jarring and against the grain for this song. Might be just me though.

It’s important to note that in live performance she is playing the piano herself and singing at the same time, with that deep emotion in her voice

I thought this was about her sister who died. She can’t get over her passing. The “Immortal” is the memory that goes on forever. She would hold her when she was sick and crying.

Amy is a gem, and she's just as good in her live performances.

she's a ghost, she never touches the earth. Most beautiful song.

I know most people hear this and think of a lover or partner who has passed or broken up with them, but I don't have that experience in my life so this song has always immediately thrown me back to the loss of my mother. The chorus has always felt like her words to me, how a parent wipes away your tears, chases away your fears, and holds your hand through the years. And now, even after all this time, I still feel her ghost at my side every time I cook a meal she taught me to make, or see her favorite flower (African Violets) or pull on a piece of clothing she made for me. And it feels like she's still with me, a piece of her always in her heart, and it warms me, but it's painful at the same time. With time, the sting has lessened and I can appreciate the memories, but in the beginning, it was very raw, and there were times when I just wished that if she had to be gone, she could be gone entirely, and take all my memories with her. I think this song truly captures grief. Loss of a serious relationship, through death or separation. And the lyrics are vague enough to capture any number of relationships. Loss of a partner, a parent, a child. The popularity really speaks to how much emotion she carries through to her audience. Great song.

This song came out not long after my brother died I was 15 and my family imploded I didn't really have anyone to talk to about how I was feeling so I listened to this album and this song on repeat just trying to process my grief, this song still makes me think of my brother and it still makes me cry.

No matter how many times I hear this song it still gets me in my feelings. The singer Pink also has a song called Family portrait. That also gets to me.

This song reminds me of my late mother all ways makes me cry I rember mom was always there to hold my hand when I needed someone.... R.i.p mom

Amy Lee's voice is a force of nature. This song is great, but my favorite Evanescence ever put out was Going Under.

I remember the first time a new friend said "you have to hear this album" back when this came out. And I was HOOKED. Half a lifetime ago.....and yet the music can bring me right back to that moment as if it was yesterday. Amy Lee is a brilliant singer and I love her voice so much. This entire album, Fallen, has not a single bad or mediocre song on it. "Bring Me to Life" is the one that had a lot of airplay but I'd also high suggest "Everybody's Fool" and "Going Under" from that album. From the album "The Open Door" I'd suggest "Lithium", "Call Me When You're Sober", "Snow White Queen", and "Lacrymosa". Also, the song "Missing". Amy Lee reminded me a bit of Lennon (Lennon Murphy), a female singer who also ventured into a metal sound but had some fantastically haunting songs as well. I'd suggest "My Beautiful" and "5:30 Saturday Morning" if you're curious about her. I knew of her before I heard Evanescence. Also, others on here have mentioned Lzzy Hale and Halestorm and I cannot agree with that enough. I love some fantastic female vocalists and musicians in the metal genre and feel like there aren't enough of them. :) "I Get Off" is probably the song that was heard the most on the radio by Halestorm. And it's damn good. But they have a TON of other amazing songs and I'm worried I wouldn't be able to list them all. LOL

She has one of the most beautiful voices ever, hands down.

her voice is just so haunting that it gives you chills

This song hit me most after my husband passed away. He’s still always with me. We had a son and he is awesome and lost his dad when he was 2 1/2 yrs old.

Just beautiful x

Because she loved him so deeply like a person loves their child she loved her person and it was so deep that if he got injured she felt it

When I was younger I thought it was about a breakup, but ever since my sister died in July, I listen to this song in a whole new way.

You will be blown away with her voice and also the band

Love the ending of this! Also like Call me when you’re sober.

Love evanescence you should dig deeper. This makes me cry every time

Definitely need to dive deeper into more Evanescence. They've been one of my favorite bands since their first album decades ago. Amy Lee is a world class singer. The band has more amazing songs than I could mention. They definitely go harder than this. Thanks for doing this. Shoutout to whoever suggested it. Evanescence is a whole feeling.

She is so beautiful

I’m at least a million of those views. She represents a ghost of somebody who has past on and he can’t let her go is my interpretation of this video. Or, she can’t pass on from the mortal world because if her attachment to him. Amazing vocals. I’ve read she wrote this as a teenager.

I feel this song in my heart, ever since my wife past

Amy lee is amazing shes jusy as lovely to listen too as to look at.

They were the last concert I saw with my baby sister; we played this at her memorial service.

I saw this song live. Magnificent

This has to be one of the most genuine reactions to this song lately. Love your assessments, and I sure hope this is the start of a beautiful evanescence journey. Amy Lee, is an amazing artist who nit only sings, but writes beautiful poetry wrapped in melodies she deliverscwith such an emotional charge, you feel it.. like with no other singer. Add to that her signature harmonies she sings with own main vocal line and beautiful piano playing and her unique beautiful tone/ color of voice and you have music that you simply hold on pedestal for obvious reasons. I would suggest you start from the beginning of their catalog with Going Under, Everybody's Fool, then Lithium, Sweet Sacrifice and Good Ebough... Thank you again for this beautiful refreshing honest reaction. Subbed. Rock on

It's sad, because I listened to this song a lot when I was younger... and I never realized this happened to me. I fell in love with a guy and I lost him and I couldn't forget him for a very long time.

Only CD I’ve EVER owned that every single song was worth listening over and over again

Evanescence song 'Bring Me To Life' over 1 Billion views. Definitely something to listen. 2004.

I’m also a fan of Floor. Amy Lee (Evanescence) was my introduction into a classical voice paired with rock. She’s amazing. Check out her song with Lizzie Hale (Halestorm) called “Break In feat. Amy Lee” by Halestorm. It’s some of the best female vocal duets I’ve ever heard - and they are both rock gals. Love it!

I absolutely loved Nightwish through the Tarja and Annette eras, but then ever since Floor came along I feel like the heart of the band has died. Not blaming this on Floor specifically as she's undoubtedly amazingly talented - I just think that Thomas' relationship with Tarja was so instrumental in driving his songwriting through those eras (including the Annette era, where much of the writing was motivated by Tarja's leaving / firing) - I feel like Thoumas has now come to peace with the whole Tarja situation and as a result I feel he's kinda lost a lot of the emotional motivation for his writing. I just feel a lot of his newere songs are less passionate, less interesting, less captivating. I also feel that Floor with her mainstream vocal style (as talented as she is) has dragged nightwish more towards the mainstream and kinda killed the unique character that made them so interesting to begin with. I know this is a controversial take that many will disagree with (as Floor's sound is definitely less unique/quirky then Tarja's, which makes her more appealing to a larger mass of audiences) but it is what it is!

Truly amazing song ❤

The first time I heard this song was a few years after my grandmother who raised me had passed away, I instantly dropped to my knees and started crying because it reminded me of her. till this day, some 20 plus years later it still brings a tear to my eye.

Do the song Lithium from Evanescence next. Its my personal favorite right after Going under.

Amy Lee, this song has always meant a lot to me. I lost my true love too.

She rite all her Sung's since she was 12 with ben Moody the one playing the piano they were high school friend and they compote everything together.

Bring me to Life by Evenescence is a must!

Amy Lee's voice is so hauntingly beautiful. LOVE HER!!

Damn, this song always makes me 😭 great reaction BP

This style of rock probably started in the 70's with Heart. Also check out The Gathering with Anneke from the 90's.

Lost in Paradise with Amy Lee on the piano great song!!

In High School after my dad died, this song got me through a lot. As an adult and actually listening to all the lyrics now, it seems like it was towards a significant other, but in high school after my dad's death i only heard certain parts of the song.

This song is the break up song of all break up songs to me. I’ve cried many a tear to this song.

Love this ❤️‍🔥
