The song is about the haunting memory of grief. Notice that she never touches the ground the entire time while he is left behind.

I did exactly the same thing when we lost my sister Roz in 2015, Still miss you Fozzybear but, I'll see you after.... I INSISTED we played this playlist to see her on her way after we scattered her ashes walking the boundary of our parents croft in Scotland. My Immortal, Evanescence. The drugs don't work, The Verve. Sonnet, The Verve. Bittersweet symphony. Annies song, John Denver. Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Pink Floyd. Wish You were here, Pink Floyd. We've only just begun by The Carpenters. Lucky man, The Verve. Matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs, Brian & Michael. Daydream Believer, The Monkees. Hey Hey We're The Monkees. Our House, Madness. I play them often, bawl my eyes out, weep, smile, laugh and remember...

We played this song at my Mums funeral, she loved Evanescence, she passed away at age 75 🙏😢

Amy Lee's voice is so haunting. All of the songs from the early albums were so good... sad, but heavy and ethereal.

Sometimes I'm just so proud of rock music. ☮️💜🤘🔥

"Hello" is another really sad one of hers, she's never performed it live. It's also about a loved ones death, like "My Immortal" is. Both songs give me goosebumps.

This totally breaks straight through the numbness of grief. ❤

Ive seen her live 20 years apart. I can honestly say she hasn't changed quality or emotionally in that time. She still commands an audience!

I happen to be a tough cold-hearted. S, Obie, but when I hear Amy's lee's voice on this song even I come to tears. The lady is not only beautiful. I take on the flames of hell Wearing gas soaked pagames to be with because not only beautiful but she has the voice of an angel hands down. I don't know any female singer with a prettier voice

Another banger off this album is Going Under.

Cool reaction.

So BMTL is what introduced me to Amy but this song is what made me fall deeply in love with her and the band. This song is about losing someone and having their spirit staying attached to you. I lost my sister a long time ago and everytime I listen to this beautiful masterpiece it reminds me of her. Amy is an all time goat and my personal favorite musician of all time. I relate to her so much and she has saved me from doing some stupid shit. She is not just a fantastic singer but she is also a fantastic pianist and harpist and she also writes all of her songs. Just an all around beautiful and talented and amazing artist that to me deserves way more love and respect. Great reaction and please react to more of her. If you want another beautiful ballad then I suggest reacting to “Hello”. It’s about her sister that she lost when they were super young. If you want to rock out then I suggest to listen to “Going Under”. That one is an absolute banger. Anyways again great reaction and sorry about this long ass comment. Lol.

The song was written about the loss of her brother in 2018 and her sister when she was 6.

The live version hits bro you can hear her real vocals man 💯👌

Amy lost her sister. This is her pain. She had a younger sister who died at age three from an unidentified illness when Amy was six years old. It left her ruminating about death.

That's why music is universal

For me, this song helped me through some of the darkest points of grief I felt when my brother passed. I was 10 and he was 12, but it was especially rough when I was in my late teens and going through severe depression. It's just a beautiful and haunting song.

I saw them in concert a few months ago. Her voice is phenomenal live!!!

Beautiful song, so haunting with Amys amazing vocals. Music heals. Thanx, Peace

Song is actually about her brother she lost at a young age. A song in the making.

Every song is up for interpretation. But I think she has passed and it's about his grief. Notice she never touches the floor. And she talks of wounds not healing. Her wrists are wrapped. But everyone is different. The beauty of music. But there's no doubt Amy Lee can sing!

Hi.. Greedings from Germany.. In this,, there simmilar Songs in German, to. Try ,, Broilers-ihr da oben(you, up in the sky) makes my wife cry, cause a friend died, when Th song came out.. ,, Null positiv - wo Rauch ist, ist auch Feuer,, (about war tragic) Ebjoy, without understanding.. The words

My perspective of the theme of the song is that even though she is singing, the guy in the suit walking around is the one that is feeling this about her who has passed away. You can see him walking around aimlessly looking for her on the streets, but she's in a different plane of existence (which is why she is dressed as she is and never on the ground, she's always on top of something keeping her away from him).

My mom passes a few months ago and this song breaks me every time.

So, Ben (the piano guy in yhe video) wrote the song but Amy (leas singer) later edited it She completely changed the 8 bar section at the end (just before the band) And she turned Ben's piano chords into the melody you hear on this version Ben wrote the song about his grand father, who died Apparently Ben used to look after him in his old age Amy did write a song regarding her sister that died, that song is called... Hello. I hope that helps ✌️

Amy didn't write this one Moody did.

This song was written about her sister that passed away

It's not about a breakup, but also I always like to remind myself that what a song means to me can have a very different meaning to someone else. If it resonates with you as being about a breakup that doesn't make you wrong. For me it was always clear to me that what the song made me feel was that it was about losing something, and being in mourning, specifically being stuck in a type of perpetual mourning. To be specific I always thought the song was about a mother mourning the loss of her child. I didn't see the music video for many many years but when I did finally see it for the first time, all those years ago, the imagery served to strengthen the foundation of my original thoughts and feelings about what I thought it was about. In fact it took me from a place of imagining it was about a mother mourning the loss of her child, to, after seeing the mans presence in the video, it actually seemed about not just a mother but a father also, both in mourning. Both stuck in perpetual morning. The name of the song "My Immortal" translated from the obvious meaning of someone living for ever, to, someone who lives forever and being stuck in this type of mourning for their child.. indefinitely.

If I'm not mistaken this song is about her sister whom passed away.

Hello is about her sister Bonnie passing away

When she was little, her sister died , and she was very worried. There is a Hello song about this, and most likely this song is in the continuation of this theme

This song is about the tragedy of loss... a person grieving the loss of a significant other.

Hi!! React to going under!!!! Kisses from Argentina 🇦🇷

I’d LOVE to see you react to Seether The Gift

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."

She is also played piano. Not sure what song is about but, she did lose her little sister.

How about I throw you in a different direction. Shock rock- Marilyn Manson- beautiful people, or Tainted Love. Alice Cooper- poison. All 3 are super catchy songs, very rocky and shock value. But equally excellent songs. Loving your reactions.

Amy is a ghost in the video meaning she's dead this song is about grief and losing someone i believe she said she dedicated this to her brother that passed away and she also has 2 songs for her sister that also passed one is called hello and the other one is called Like you

Gorgeous!!!! Please do check out Corvyx's version of this! it will blow your mind. He sings in the original key. Just do a search on his name, he does EPIC covers. He's also covered My Heart Will Go On!!!

This is Ben Moody's writing (the guitarist of the band at the time) and he confirmed years ago that this is fictional. It was first recorded in 1998 as a demo, you can find the original version on youtube.

If you wanted to hear another side of her check out *You never call me when you're sober*

U gotta do massive attack angel

If you want to hear an example of how she can harmonize, look up Break In by Halestorm featuring Amy Lee. While My Immortal shows how strong her voice can be, Break In shows her ability to pull it back when needed. Something that is difficult to do. If you want some more Evanescence, look up Call Me When Your Sober. It is more like Being Me To Life than My Immortal. But all three are great songs.

This song is about grief. Her sister died as a child. But it applies to all grief.

She’s classically trained

I think this is the one about her sister having passed away.

No its not. It was based on Ben Moodys Grandfather. She wrote Hello about the passing of her younger sister another haunting song totally worth a listen.

This is not about a breakup it’s about loving someone when they are gone (by death)

This song is about his dead wife , the wife is Amy Lee singing to her husband from the other side

The story behind this song is actually a little murky. There's several different things people have read or heard. I read that Amy wrote the lyrics as a poem when she was only 16 and it's about a close friendship that faded away. I've also heard it's about her sister who died when she was a child. I've also heard it was written by the lead guitarist (no longer with the band) about his grandfather who passed away. The video heavily portrays there was a death, though. I think the band likes the mystery behind the song. It allows everyone to take something different from it.

This is not like the initial version when this song was first released. The initial version didn't use drums and guitars so it felt sadder and darker. I really liked the initial version, it helped me remember the past and the people of the past.

In case anyone cares about the truth anymore... "The song's words were originally written by Moody from fiction and the music written by Lee on piano when they were 15, after which Lee added the bridge.[8] The lyrics of the song refer to a spirit that haunts the memory of a grieving loved one, according to MTV.[2] Lee considered it Moody's song as he wrote the lyrics.[9][2] She contributed "a little bit" to the lyrics, but does not connect with the song as it does not have personal meaning to her."

this song is about her twin sister that she lost

The breakup you're thinking of is when she and Shaun from Seether broke up. The song is called Call Me When You're Sober
