Evanescence - My Immortal (Official Music Video) REVIEW | REACTION

[@strykk84]

This song came out two weeks after my 35 year old wife died and left me with two kids. Can't help but cry every time I hear it.

[@losv9871]

Sorry for your loss my fiance passed away 10 years ago today I know how how feel

[@trustyaxe]

Sorry to hear that, brother. Stay strong for the kids, man...they need you.

[@Amandahugankiss8888]

Sending love and strength Bro.

[@coolguy54life99]

Jeezus, I'm sorry man.

[@strykk84]

los V I get it. It’s been 16 years for me. Sorry for your loss also.

[@julielovelace7189]

Notice Amy never touches the ground. Sitting in trees etc. She is the angel

[@evilvolts]

also he kept going about his day also the kids never see her there on the car.

[@tenreck]

The bandages on her wrist could implifie that she comited suicide?

[@rudraroy8216]

She is dead

[@sagsag9630]

she is walking on edge of the fountain in the beginning of the video

[@julielovelace7189]

@@sagsag9630 but not the ground. LoL who really knows. Wonderful song anyway

[@professionalvampire1]

No shame in crying over a song this gorgeous and heartbreaking. I cried the first dozen times I heard it, and even now - if it's been too long since the last time I heard it - I'll cry again.

[@jimmyjohns6516]

I did too I'm a 26 year old guy😂I still kinda do

[@larryd4352]

I am 62 years old...and this song always brings tears to my eyes.

[@mycenth22]

Leslie Albrecht the last 3 “all of me-s” really get to me, especially when she does the phantom harmony on the second to last one....

[@michaeltomkinson134]

I cry ever time i hear it :( reminds me of people i've lost in life

[@randomuser5914]

Yes it's got so many emotions, then seeing her in the video, tears were definitely rolling.

[@garyglass7406]

One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

[@markcainyourfriendinthecar3387]

I love Amy Lee. She could sing the phonebook and it would sound amazing.

[@trustyaxe]

God, her blues eyes...unreal. I could wake up to them everyday.

[@Dinkdownn]

I would pay money to hear her sing the phone book fr.

[@ericbehanna1702]

Facts!

[@careymathews5981]

Right

[@kesleycottrell1416]

You could no be more right sir!

[@waynehackney5812]

"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." These lyrics so spoke to me during the time I took care of my Mom when she had dementia. And anyone here was a caregiver for a parent with dementia, you would understand what I mean.

[@popland1977]

As a depressed angsty teenager, I played the shit put if this. Never noticed that Amy doesn't touch the ground ever in this video, like she's not of this world anymore.

[@jonathanlindsey463]

in this song she has passed and she cannot handle how devastated he is by his loss and she is powerless to help him the way she would when she was alive... both him and her are devastated... i fell in love with her voice, eyes and hair long ago... as well as other things better not mentioned here.. her voice is phenomenal, it touches my soul

[@thesisypheanjournal1271]

The video implies that Amy is dead -- her feet never touch the ground, she has symbolic winding cloths on her hands, and the fly lands on her fingers. And the man is clearly bereft and wandering as if he's looking for something he knows he won't find -- looking up as if to find her there.

[@opalanuitchoutte3038]

She's an angel, that is why she doesn't touch the ground

[@herobreaker9011]

I agree, looks like she died. Notice how Ben looks up like he's sensing her (ghostly) presence. Also notice the fly on her fingers at the end. Definitely indicates death.

[@RussellStClair-cy1vu]

It scratches the surface , even after all these years . Just the surface of the depth of the well.

[@guidosarducci]

I agree 100%. This song applies to me and my youngest son who died in a car accident when he was 24... He's gone, I'm still here...but the words fit my life perfectly.......................

[@bamachine]

I always kind of read it as a follow up to their first hit, where she fell from the ledge. Notice the building he looks up at seems to be similar architecture. Also the car she is laying on looks like the roof is crushed from something falling on it, like someone falling from a ledge to the parked car below.

[@nox5870]

This song is a Masterpiece! Period.

[@kellygnow1]

Listening from the hospital!! Evanescence is beyond incredible ❤❤❤ Bring Me to Life is my favorite by her

[@Madithemuggle]

Denise S *them. Evanescence is a group. Amy Lee is just the lead vocalist. :)

[@kellygnow1]

@@Madithemuggle ty, I know. Slip of the pronoun 😁

[@really3932]

hope you are ok

[@evilvolts]

I get the sense she's the one that's dead in the song not him-He is the one going about his normal day she is not even noticed on the car by the kids playing as if she's a ghost.

[@professionalvampire1]

That's the same sense I get from it. Right or wrong, the song is gorgeous and Amy Lee has the voice of an angel.

[@opalanuitchoutte3038]

She's an angel

[@Jake-ug2mf]

The song was written about Amy Lees’ sister who passed away.

[@t.j.payeur5331]

Thanks, lady. Never heard this before. It severely dented my carefully crafted armor of cynicism. We exist in Time. It never stops flowing, nothing ever stays the same, and so we constantly experience loss,loss, loss. It was here and I loved it and now it's gone. God damn, I'm tearing up...

[@nikkinicol78]

This is a small revelation for me... I'm agoraphobic and have major anxiety disorder. Thinking that this is all there is, work and sleep and loss... it scares the shit out of me that there's no way to get off of this ride. Why are we counting the hours? And why would I get so attached to someone when it's inevitable they'll be lost... I also love Fallen by Sarah McLachlan

[@gabx0729]

She is a dead angel singing to the person she loved and left behind :(

[@shoogazlemonscakes6001]

She is the spirit singing the thoughts of the mans perspective

[@leonarae8496]

I believe this was written about Amy’s sister who died when she was very young. Another one written for her sister is Hello, just beautiful. Also worth watching are Bring me to Life, Imperfection and Lithium. She has a beautiful voice, anything you listen to will touch your soul. Thanks for reacting to Evanescence

[@RABIDJOCK]

Its written by Ben moody about his grandad

[@marcoskrummel80]

It’s about Amy’s sister. She lost her young

[@RABIDJOCK]

@@marcoskrummel80 nope that is Hello .

[@CoachSully44]

“Hello” is about Amy’s sister. Ben wrote “My Immortal” - although I have read that Amy added the bridge lyrics.

[@mbh2743]

this song expresses my pain from a break up from someone who totally destroyed my trust. Trust in myself, or the ability to trust any other. Even now , 25yrs late, there is this pain at that betrayal

[@darrenjohnson6833]

Every time I listen to this I cry, I cannot help it.

[@evhleppard]

This song is quite a tear jerker for many, Amy's voice is so haunting.

[@SweetThing]

Did you even notice what a beautiful voice she has?! Her voice made the song. Nobody can sing like Amy Lee. The piano was haunting as well, but Amy Lee plays piano and even though I guess they thought the part would be better played by a guy on piano, Amy played the piano for this song. This was one of the most moving songs I've ever heard. xx

[@SweetThing]

@@stevemisfit1 - get a clue: The song was written by Ben Moody And Amy Lee and there are seven different recorded versions of the song. Buh-bye.

[@michaelpickard8779]

This song definitely pulls the heart strings. Amy Lee is the only reason I started listening to this genre.

[@kendracontreras6874]

I absolutely love evanescence! This song is probably the most emotional for me because I sang it at my grandmother's funeral. It's been 14 years & I still tear up every time I hear it.

[@dksweet1]

Such a beautiful, but sad song. Her voice is so amazing. Check out Bring me to life by them. So good!

[@Affanity]

one of the best songs ever created. amy lee is such an amazing vocalist

[@lynnpagitt4409]

I have seen this song live twice. I got goosebumps from head to toe both times from the first note. Very emotional!

[@MyGannChannel]

I love your honest, heart-felt reaction!

[@skyewolf2528]

One of the best female vocalists ever, anything they or she does is amazing

[@MrDarkweaver]

The song was based on a short story that Ben Moody (blonde haired guy at the piano in the vid) wrote about losing his grandfather. In the video, Amy is the spirit of the person that has gone, singing Ben's words as he mourns her loss. You can see that her feet never touch the ground, and no one seems to see her in the video, and she is wearing wraps around her hands and feet, traditionally used in burial rituals indicating she is dead and it's her spirit we see. It's one of the most emotional songs for me. I cry almost every time I hear it, and I'm a man in his 50s. Her voice is so clean and pure. One of my favourite female vocal artists of all time.

[@StalkerMomRosie]

You have such a tender heart. I love watching you react to songs like this. You're very pure and honest.

[@KeyOfTheTwilight]

I love Evanescence! You should totally reaction to more of their songs! :D

[@bloodnock9966]

It's an absolute sin to keep stopping such a beautiful song.

[@alexgeorge2993]

Great review! Amy Lee has a beautiful voice. saw them live here in Melbourne and it was a fantastic concert!!

[@CrimsonVictoryRose]

I found this song about 3 months after my mom's death from ovarian cancer, It became my song for her. Every line was written for our situation, I was there for her every time she cried, heard her screams when she was dying and held her and supported throughout the years. Although she was gone she was very much in my soul and lived in my mind and behind my eyes for years, even to this day 13 years later. "You still have all of me" Always and Forever mom 1950-2007

[@tinas1041]

She wrote this about her sister that died, who she misses so much

[@connorburnett21]

not what i heard. heard it was written about the guitarists relative who passed

[@Kiernan5]

@@connorburnett21 She had a sister that died at three years old. The song "Hello" was written about her. This song was written by Ben Moody when he was still in high school long before he met Amy Lee. He claimed it was in memory of his grandfather.

[@adamfanalways]

Love her voice, the music it always gives me goosebumps because I feel all emotions of this beautiful song!

[@renaleon3193]

Such a beautiful song. I love how music allows you to experience the feelings expressed on your own terms. To me the video represented the singer's loss of a loved one to addiction (whether living or not) and how the years of grief left her a ghost or shell. Beautiful work India.

[@xerodelacroix5552]

Notice her feet never touch the ground. That was intentional. She's supposed to be a ghost.

[@miriam8376]

You have a very empathetic way of looking at the world. It’s reassuring, considering the state of the world.

[@dragulia_venaro]

this song just reminds me of my childhood friends.. she loves evanescence so much when she's in middle school.. but, she died due to her heart attack in 2010 :'( I love you, jeane! Rest In Peace

There’s another song by them. It’s called Lithium. If you have time please react to the song 😊 much love from Texas ❤️

I looked on the side view mirror. A butterfly was flapping its wings, and this song was playing on the radio. I haven't been able to listen to it since. Thank you for reminding me how beautiful that moment was.

[@wulfsbergvw3]

If you can listen to this song and not feel deeply, then you've never truly lost someone you would give anything to hold again. "If you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave". "There's just too much that time cannot erase"..... I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying...

[@bubgum00]

Amy Lee is playing the par of the spirit. She never touches the ground.

[@rplant2259]

I subscribed a few weeks ago and going through your reactions and saw you did this. There's no need to hide your emotions from such lovely pieces of music. Even I get emotional listening to this song. My partner had this song at her mother's funeral, who passed away from cancer at 48 yo and my partner was 3 months pregnant with our daughter (her first grandchild). I've mixed feelings about this song, sad to see such a joyful woman slip away. But to see how strong my partner was/is in such difficult circumstances. Thank you for the reaction.

[@shellyk411]

When this song was released, I was married to a man with severe addiction problems. This song spoke to me. He was with me physically, but he was not with me emotionally. Our marriage was destroyed. I stood by him through countless rehabs and relapses. After 17 years, I had to walk away for my own sanity. I had to get my children out of all that dysfunction. This song meant so much to me.

[@RowdyRuth]

India that was so sad. I lost a friend yesterday and was very sad when I heard about the helicopter crash in California. The song definitely speaks to my mood.

[@dustyb58]

When this would play on the radio at work I'd just stop working and listen. It's almost flawless.

Amy Lee is the lead singer and is a classically trained opera singer. Her voice and range is out of this world. She is one of my favorite all time. Her voice has such vibrancy and life. Listen to just about anything from Anywhere but Home or Fallen CDs. Just about every song is amazing.

Even sadder when the person you know became the person you KNEW. That's worse than death. Because they chose to walk away and become a stranger again. That's what I get from this. Lived it, hard to deal with waking up next to someone after 15 years and 5 kids to realize you don't know them anymore. That was 8 years ago and I still haven't got over her yet

When the strong part of the song starts, the meaning of the lyrics inmediately change. You can see that the person who she is talking about is not the one who died.
