Hey guys! I would like to know.. What are your ideas for the video of LIP? I don't know.. Do you have expectations? or something? Do you have dreamed or imagined would it be like?

I imagined Amy sings or plays the piano with colorful flowers surrounding her (The paradise)

I imagine scenes of Amy at a piano on an enormous stage with a completely empty audience. All the lights are off save for some very dim ones here and there. It's almost completely dark but you can make out highlights on Amy and the piano. When the band comes into the song, the stage lights come on and the other band members can be seen. There's also a strings orchestra off to the side. I want to say I see scenes that take place in nature, but this song has such a dark atmosphere to me, throughout the whole thing I really only get images of a dimly lit stage. I could see something like the lyric video though, like... Some kind of lake under a big open sky at night. It's definitely a night time song, to me. It's intimate... I think bright colors are kind of obvious given it's 'paradise', but I don't think bright colors actually go well with the music. Night sky, dark stage, outer space, lakes, rain, lightning/thunder... That's the quick list of what I imagine.

I think she will be on piano in scenes and the band playing but i think the video will be about an out pour of emotions like any says LIP is about, escaping from being in a place that's difficult

This is weird. I'd like to see a prison cell. Modern day or old time. Maybe she's been sentenced to death and guys are there too. Maybe the song plays with flashbacks of her life, what she's done. Then when she dies at the end she's "lost in paradise"
God I'm so fucking morbid! Please disreguard!

i'd like them to do it in a forest or some green space with a lot of trees
But i bet they'll do a "live show" kind of video.

I'd actually really like an Ev video without the band in it. With like, actors playing out a situation fitting to the lyrics, but I don't ever see that happening.
I have no idea how LIP will be, I haven't particularly liked the videos from this era so far so I hope that they will go back to CMWYS director or Lithium's, they were great!

There are two stories going on: the forest storyline and the 'real-life storyline'. They merge into eachother. First I'll explain the real life one: Amy is playing the piano alone on a dark, dimly lit stage, all the seats empty. When the band kicks in all the lights flash on, but there is still no crowd. The band is rocking out and finally, after the 'shadows of you', suddenly the arena is full and rocking out. And then.. the lights go out again, and Amy's like 'alone and LiP' but she's not alone cause all the fans are cheering them. CHEESY! The forest storyline: Amy is sleeping in a dark forest (no Evvid without lying around). When she starts to sing, she wakes: she's alone and scared. The guys are in the forest as well but can't seem to find each other. There is wind, it starts to rain (no Evvid without water). The moment they find each other (in some empty place in the forest) the sun creeps up, they realise though scary at first, how beautiful the forest is and they all smile. That is one hell of a cheesy vid I imagine in my mind.

I think bright colors are kind of obvious given it's 'paradise', but I don't think bright colors actually go well with the music. Night sky, dark stage, outer space, lakes, rain, lightning/thunder... That's the quick list of what I imagine. I wrote out a similar vision in the thread on original ET... To add to your description I see the band playing a big dark empty venue, with the guys up on stage playing the song with the lights going and what not and an empty piano with Amy standing down on the empty floor watching. symbolizing her indecisiveness about whether or not she wants to come back to Evanescence. Maybe scenes flashing to just her alone in a very intimate room with an upright piano, writing LIP. (you see her writing and correcting the paper and sheet music she is writing on). This would symbolize the moment when LIP was born, while Amy was lost as an artist and realizing maybe Evanescence is a part of who she is, and not just who she 'was'. Realizing that 'happily ever after' didn't end with settling down and getting married etc. (this is based on her interview with Sirius XM Artist Confidential where she described the inspiration behind LIP) She eventually ends up in stage and playing the rest of the song on the piano with the band... symbolizing her making the decision to finally take the plunge and come back to this whole crazy thing that is Evanescence and everything that comes along with it. sorry if I rambled too much... I hope it makes sense.
