Figured we could discuss this since you hear the intro in the Making of Synthesis video. What are your thoughts? From the preview...it sounds breath taking. As much as I wanted more/other EV songs in this project..I think this is exciting. The song is CLEARLY made to be heard with an orchestra. I can't wait to hear it and see it live in this new way. This is one of the first songs ever conceived within the concept of "Evanescence." It has become an anthem for our unified brokenness, and the cornerstone of our story. This version pulls out the constant piano of the original, limiting it to the verses, and shining the light on David Campbell's very special orchestral arrangement.I’m so tired of being here Suppressed by all my childish fears And if you have to leave I wish that you would just leave cause your presence still lingers here And it won’t leave me alone These wounds won’t seem to heal This pain is just too real There’s just too much that time cannot erase When you cried I’d wipe away all of your tears When you’d scream I’d fight away all of your fears And I held your hand through all of these years But you still have all of me You used to captivate me by your resonating light And now I’m bound by the life you left behind Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me These wounds won’t seem to heal This pain is just too real And there’s just too much that time cannot erase When you cried I’d wipe away all of your tears When you’d scream I’d fight away all of your fears And I held your hand through all of these years But you still have all of me I’ve tried so hard to tell myself that you’re gone But though you’re still with me, I’ve been alone all along When you cried I’d wipe away all of your tears When you’d scream I’d fight away all of your fears And I held your hand through all of these years But you still have all of me All Me All Me All Out of respect for those who are waiting for their show or for the album release to wait to hear the songs, I'm advising and please asking, if you're posting anything that will give away any great details to the song, please use spoiler tags. Thank you!

I'm glad that Amy got the chance to redo My Immortal live with an orchestra and forever put the Billboard performance behind her. But I would have loved an other song, honestly. WatchMojo recently did a top 10 of the most hautingly beautiful songs and My Immortal was number one! Also curious to see if Ben will react to the new version and what he might think of it...

I'm suddenly reminded of that scene in the "Daredevil" movie while listening to this version. Not sure why! Anyway, I love it and can't wait to hear the final result! <3

I love on the album during the "I wish that you would just leave" line you can really hear the frustration and desperation in her voice. Almost like she's gritting her teeth while saying it.

I don't have much to say about this one either. It's cool to compare Amy's voice in this one with the Fallen version. So much fuller sounding. Very pretty.

Something really bugs me about this version. At 1:27 it sounds like a dud note is played... it just doesn't sit right with me! Does anyone else hear it?

That's just Amy changing it up a little. It's still in the correct key, just changed up for effect. She does a similar thing when singing the last chorus for effect and emphasis. I like this, certainly a lot better than BMTL. Actually, I prefer this over the Fallen version. This will be very frequently listened by me. One of my favorites.

The vocals make this the best version of this song in my book.

This version definitely tops the one on Fallen. I really liked it. Anyone notice one of the “all of me” lines was cut? Some songs do that with their chorus for an emotional effect and it really worked here in my opinion.

If I'm good at one thing when it comes to music, it's nitpicking. I can nitpick anything.A lot of the time nobody has no idea what I'm talking about.
One thing really bothers me in this version. If you go to 4:01, you hear her singing "me-ah-ah...".
That KILLS me. Because I know it could be better.
Recently, live, in the fall tour of last year, she would go down an extra note when singing "me"--it was damn satisfying. Listen to this perfomance in Montclair. Go to 4:10 if it hasn't automatically brought you there yet:
See? Doesn't that sound so much better?
This will haunt me for the rest of my life.

That's how I heard it in my head when I first heard this version. I swore I thought that's where she was going with it. It made me so mad that she didn't do it. I didn't know she did it live at some point.

Beautiful rendition,as always but I feel it was unnecessary. Still, I can see where Amy wants an up to date version with here fuller, mature voice.
Is the Fallen version to same as the one she is referring to, recording in her dad's studio? I know they are all very similar but would that not be the vocal-piano version from the Evanesence-EP outtakes? Sorry, a little confused.

Amy mentioned this in a 2003/2004 interview where she said that the Band version was to be track 4 but Wind up had other plans. She basically said the same thing in this interview that she said in the 2003/2004 one. I find that amusing. lol.

It doesn't sound like it.
