That snippet of the Legends and Lyrics version haunts me to this very day. I'd been wanting a piano version of BMTL for so long and then they teased me. -_- I've often times thought about that version as well and often wonder when/if we will ever hear it...

Aah, Bring Me To Life... The song that never gets old. Classic!
Just like for the rest of you, it also was my first Ev song. It didn't quite make me an Ev fan at first though, as I was quite young around the time, and I also used to believe Amy couldn't sing well live. (Not the right moment to explain it, will do so some other time on a different thread. xD) However, BMTL did leave an immediate impression on my childish self, and I had already fallen in love with that hit back in the day. The song haunted me with its opening piano part, accompanied by Amy's beautiful voice. The chorus is damn empowering and epic up to date! Whoever thought up the idea of featuring Paul McCoy on vocals was a clever person as that singer did contribute to the sound greatly. Nowadays, when Ev perform that song in its cut version, I just always miss Paul's lines... :/
The video itself seemed actually quite impressive to little me back in the day. If I look back on it now, that video was actually somewhat standard, and I doubt it's had a high budget. No matter its actual price though, it's worth a thousand more to me due to the epic ending scene in which Paul drops Amy/lets her fall!
I can recall how I would always leave the TV on for that song whenever it was being played. Good ol' times... <3
PS: I still get chills while listening to that song, as well as while watching its video. My favourite vocal line in it is: "Don't let me die here!"
Yes, the lyrics to BMTL are awesome!

There was a promo for that episode of Legends and Lyrics that started with Gavin DeGraw playing 'I Don't Wanna Be' and talking a little, then switched to Amy playing 'Bring Me to Life' and talking about how she grew up in a musical household.

Isn't the Sirius FM version pretty much exactly the same style? Thats how I imagine it would sound like anyway

Kinda... I don't know. I think it's the same as people wanting to hear the demo of If You Don't Mind with all the wanting of someone who has never heard the song, even though we have a live version. It makes more sense in that case, but my heart is still holding out for the Legends and Lyrics recordings.

This is almost the exact same arrangement that they played at L&L. I think the only difference is the cello...it seemed a little lower at L&L than this particular performance. I bet that's why they did it this way though, because that version never saw the light of day and I remember Amy saying that she was really proud of the arrangment and that's probably why they played it twice (i think she messed up the piano riff right before "frozen inside")

You are so lucky to have seen that L&L performance. I don't know if it was you, but someone recorded it and Amy asked them to delete it and never share it. I wonder if they still would have done that if they had known that we would not get it like we were supposed to all those years ago

I wonder if they still would have done that if they had known that we would not get it like we were supposed to all those years ago It wasn't me I was getting too many phone calls from a mother who wanted to go home about 4 hours before we left (due to the show delay) so my phone had to remain off. I would imagine they wouldn't care as much now but I agree with what (I believe I remember) Amy said to the girl that did that we wouldn't want to hear it on recorder quality when it was being done professionally. It wouldn't have done the songs justice...esp Your Love. I had the manliest of man cries with that one and bad quality would just ruin it for me. haha

I'm not sure, but didn't Amy just ask the girl who recorded it if she keeps the performance, not to share it?

I know she didn't stay on the boards much after that due to a lot of harassing. If you remember that time at all she was the one doing the majority of answering questions about the show with me just chiming in every once in a while (I'm getting over being a lurker slowly haha) and - I would assume - it got too much for her. I never saw her post again when the new record news was coming out and I had been keeping in pretty good contact with her for a while there after the show. It just kinda stopped. Can't deny it though, we are pretty crazy. I'd say she got a LOT of PM's and stuff just like I did.
