So this is my ringtone now and someone called me in class. In spite of the awkwardness, I let it play feigning not being able to get to my phone. One girl in the corner of class stood up and goes "Is that Evanescence?!". I said yes its a new song and she freaked out. The instructor told me if I'm gonna interrupt then we had better hear the whole song. So we got on youtube and jammed. I love my Clinical Psych class note: Dr. Wygant is a big metal head so we listen to Slipknot and Trivium and stuff before class all the time so this wasn't unheard of really. He said he's gonna check out the self-titled though. Ev fans - converting the world one ringtone at a time!

I get so excited each time i find out that an Evhead converted someone (or atleast made someone interested in the band). A job well done.

Wow...It's so very different. And not in a bad way at all. I'm digging it!

I love this song, but I can see why it didn't make the cut. It doesn't really fit with the rest of the album. Wish there was just a little more to the bridge, but apart from that - the vocals especially are beautiful.
*cough*Re-record?*cough*

It's amazing... a week today we received this song. We've been fussing over it for years and now we barely talk about it. Funny how that happens.

Does anyone have a source to the LiP single interview that's on the EvRef? It just appeared one day on there and some of the answers don't sound very Amy-ish. When she's been unhappy with Wind-Up, she's usually a little nervous to mention it and usually tones down her snarky answers. I think it's this one: musicweb.cz/rozhovory/rozhovor-s-evanescence-amy-lee-je-perfekcionistkaRionka can help you with the translation. Oh, this one! Actually i think it's pretty accurate translation on EvRef now. Yes, is a bit of a problem to convert things from Czech to English because of different sentence structure, but i'm all yours... what exactly do you need to explain/help with?

So I finally got to listen to the full song just now, and I love it! I really didn't think this was going to be a song I would care for that much, but the studio version really won me over.
This is such a different song for Ev. I like that there isn't any other Ev song I could compare this one to. At first, I found the guitars to be really strange, but now I love that about the song. I love that experimental quality about it, them trying out new things (a very TOD era thing). And hell yeah, guitar solo! Ev needs more of those. I also looove the bits of organ that you couldn't hear in the live version. It adds a lot for me. And the bass and drums are killer! This is one of those rarer pre-Ev3 songs where I think all the instruments really shine. This is just a fun, catchy, badass song with some sexiness and attitude.
I can understand why this didn't make the cut though; it doesn't quite fit the vibe of TOD. To me, it sounds like a kind of bridge between TOD and Ev3. I actually think now was the perfect time for us to hear this one. I'm not sure I would've liked it as much up against all the TOD songs when they were new. But now, I think it's a great song that can stand on its own. I'm glad we get to have another great contribution to the Ev repertoire by the awesome Mr. Will Boyd.
Speaking of Will, does anyone know if he has a Twitter or Facebook or anything? Have any fans tried to contact him to let him know we've heard the song and love it?
edit: Oops, I think I just liked my own post. So that's what this new button does. Lol
