For Evanescence- Weight of the world

Teacher: *gives me one simple assignment over the weekend* Me:

[@meritwolf219]

ROFL! That was so true! Weekends were _sacred!_

[@KittyxGrimm]

I keep forgetting how powerful Amy's voice is!

[@enrie424]

And that's why i came back to this song.

[@musicreach1234]

+Kitty Grimm She is a Rock Goddess!

[@StarDustBlits]

And this is why I love this band, cause it has rock and some darkness in it, everything bout this band is amazing and epic!!

[@musicreach1234]

+shadow77281 agreed

[@utubedave47]

Got you all. I'm 60 now. I know every word of every song on her 'Fallen' cd. She's amazing.

[@christopherbernal5977]

I have a cover of this song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ammxeWt5r66Fq68

[@HannahInWashington]

💘💝💝💘

[@spartan_zero_1829]

Gothic Rock

[@user-ih1iy4us6o]

when she hit that high note i was shook

[@christopherbernal5977]

It is really high, I made a cover: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ammxeWt5r66Fq68

[@isabelaguimaraes304]

The best voice in this entire planet

[@ddevil768]

Morgan Freeman was in this? Kappa

[@novideosatallyet6453]

Isabela Guimarães wait but I didn't hear any chester bennington? or Morgan freeman?

[@ReinertZerker]

On* There you go.

[@TheTaintedWisdom]

That's some steep goddamn competition... couple that with personal opinion & biases & there's going to be a *lot* of disagreement. Nightwish has had some real winners, & then there's Sarah Brightman: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIqygpqLo8hqr7c

[@motadi5175]

You really need to listen to more music.

[@lebanese996]

"Beg my broken heart to beat" One of the best, and for me the best, lyrical line I have ever heard in my life. This woman is a one-of-a-kind!

[@TheEuzkatroika]

but that is the line from Cloud Nine of my fav tracks..

[@Blakep1991]

"I won't be held down by who I used to be" is an amazing line.

[@miss._em96]

I was listening to this song earlier, and when she sang “like God in heaven gave me a turn” there was a knock at my front door,I was like is that you Amy!?!🖤🤣

[@mysteriousmisty2836]

Been her fan for 12 years im 21 now still shows how i feel.

[@naomigoossen8829]

same and I am 13

[@jwin713]

mysterious misty Cool

[@alextheactor42069]

I'm 14 now

[@Lemthepoetofficial]

I am 23 still love her lol

[@FanaticEvanescence]

14 years now I'm 21 too

[@tommykwong8626]

the delay of the guitar is badass, i'm addicted to it

[@zackzaike4630]

what do you mean "delay"? I agree that the guitar is, indeed, badass, but I don't quite get your comment.

[@tommykwong8626]

Sorry i'm not pro and my eng is not that gd so i can't find a ford to say, sorry if i confused u

[@NShAnger]

Ting Him Kwong You haven't explained it either. Use another word... I want to know what you meant, man.

[@tommykwong8626]

Sorry, don't know how to say

[@NShAnger]

Ting Him Kwong Perhaps you meant the riff? The repeating, harmonic guitar sound? If that's the case, yeah I agree - it's fucking good in this song.

[@leejames3119]

I know this is pretty late and this video is old but I came up with a conclusion of what this song means. It pretty much means that she has to think of others all the time and she eventually grows sick of it. She just wants to be free to do the things she wants without worryinf about hurting others. It corresponds to the verses :"If you love me then let go of me." "I wont be held down by who I used to be." "Don't cling to me, I swear I cant fix you." That's why the song is called the Weight of the World because she is carrying others burdens on her shoulders . Well that's how I feel because I'm going through a current situation like this.

[@Singing_angel15]

Lee James I go through this everyday

[@joannaleroux6523]

Know the feeling when you feel not strong enough to deal with people.

[@lucydoodles2020]

Another interpretation I've heard is that this song is about trying to change or trying to leave something bad they'd done in the past. "I won't be held down by who I used to be". It sounds like people are hounding her and doubting her and the need to prove everyone wrong is this weight of the world. "I know you don't believe in me."

[@Bella_Pixie_Girl]

I think this song was for her ex Shaun Morgan, I think the song 'Call me when you're sober' is for him as well...

[@carrissastevens]

Amy Lee once said in an interview this song was about the pressure of being a role model for her fans

[@dahmenpiotraschke9236]

Although pop culture has become derelict...Her band and her historic 30 million albums, has made Amy Lee music royalty...and her shows are sold out by her lifelong fans...and she will always have that.

[@diani3599]

I won’t be held down by who I used to be. SHE’S NOTHING TO ME!

[@justinehorton2527]

Gets me every single time

[@teaituwilson3361]

Been in love with this woman since I was a pre-teen! 2019 and I'll never stop worshipping amylee

[@immateriumepicmetal4544]

I never expected them to be that heavy, good riffs

[@kins1894]

Back in 2007 ... was the first time i hear this song... nearly 10yrs after ... Still Fucking Awesome

[@justinemcgee3746]

I love evanescence

[@christopherbernal5977]

Me too, I made a cover of the song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ammxeWt5r66Fq68

[@tylersmith5449]

Evanescence is my soul mate.

[@Max-vb6le]

me too

[@musicreach1234]

i really like this track! another gem by Evanescence!

[@sullyernafn]

All it took was for me to see bring me to life on mtv in 2002, and now im a fan for life 😄!

[@dariaionescu7204]

Me too,I actually first heard them in a video on youtube:))

[@DeAndreFlyboi]

When I first heard bring me to life in 2004, I had to know who they were. I have been a die hard fan since

[@sullyernafn]

I have been to 12 evanescence concerts since then, and man she is great live :).

[@Worms439]

sullyernafn evanescence is older than me and I love them

[@cyriljacob4839]

Same here

[@hannahrose5623]

I would love to thank Evanescence for being their for me when I am down. Their music has helped me through a lot including the death of my mother. I will always be a fan of evanescence and Amy Lee

[@TheWill1225]

This is my second favorite Evanescense song after "Bring me to Life". This song has always been underrated as its one of their best songs but a song no one really talks about

[@christopherbernal5977]

It is a good song, I made a cover of this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ammxeWt5r66Fq68

[@kamillamoura6]

2:44 wooww

[@123gothiclove]

Evanescence is beast. Their lyrics are so beautiful and inspiring, yet blend perfectly with the eerie/badass tune, instruments, style etc. They're awesome, and Amt Lee is phenomonal.

[@opheliebeigenger58]

Je t'aime mon amour

[@SonyaThomas25]

I love listening to Evanescence

[@inuandkirara]

I just lost my voice trying to sing to her... thats how awesome she is... she makes people speechless :)

[@inthedark8400]

Probably Evanescence's best song

[@teguhsasongko2807]

Her voice just give me shiver

[@jasonlutan8495]

Literally.....

[@erikprado7820]

evanescence forever

[@MrsWinehouse4ever]

“Safe in the dark how can you see” 😵

[@suzanah2011]

02:45 best part :O i luv her voice!

[@cosmicathesongstress7466]

+suzanah2011 I love that part too! I sing just like that! :D

[@paranormal17]

favorite song on Open Door easily, love the guitar in this one

[@emmanemeney5955]

This is my favorite song to fall asleep to at night. I'm not even kidding. XD

[@emmanemeney5955]

I completely agree

[@ornessarhithfaeron3576]

+Mr. Cat true

[@KinkyNothing]

I am listening to it to fall asleep right now

[@Singing_angel15]

Emmanemeney me too

[@zizi-k]

favourite lines "Don't cling to me, I swear I can't fix you" and "I won't be held down by who i used to be."

[@arizonabrewerton]

if they're smothering you, it means they notice you and care. Be grateful you have that kind of affection. I'm your age and i get this. i know sometimes ppl need space but ppl also need care.

[@andrewv1671]

Evanescence is my spirit animal 💓😍🐱😂

[@SoulCrystal214]

I love this song. I like listening to this right after Imaginary or Cloud Nine.

[@MadMargaretGaming]

saying "this is a kind of music that is clearly beyond your understanding" would have a bigger impact

[@xodayplays6922]

Feeling like a boss when you 100% all the Evanescence songs on Rockband brutal mode & expert 😁 Her voice is so powerful.

[@opheliebeigenger58]

Je t'aime mon

[@theskilledlibra6458]

This will always be an epic song, bar none!

[@nacho_estrada2713]

Even at these years, Im still waving my head up and down by te beat of this song lml One of their best

[@limjiawei7446]

This band are one of the best!!!

[@Lillithscorpio]

We need this kind of music again

[@isabellegomez4806]

I love this song!!! It's one of my favorites

[@michaelyoung7171]

this was my very first song of evanescence I found in early 2011 when I was in the 5th grade.

[@LittleDevilSings]

Cloud Nine is one of my favourite Evanescence songs ever!

[@opheliebeigenger58]

Je t'aime mon

[@meikovocaloid4382]

Well thank you! I always love the other fans since they're so nice. I always count them as friends. ^.^

[@user-ht1ft3dy3s]

I won't be held down by who I used to be...

[@XOPrettyPrincessOX]

They are not mainstream. 80% of the Evanescence fan base are really 12-20 year old girls who claim they are these huge Evanescence fans when all the songs they know are Bring Me To Life and My Immortal. Evanescence would never be ruined by mainstream because they will always be talented, and they will never change their music to sell out. So I wouldn't give a shit if everybody in the world listened to them. Actually that would be pretty cool, because then everybody would know what good music is.

[@TheOpenDoor13]

One of my favourite songs from The Open Door. Can't wait for their new album!

[@opheliebeigenger58]

Je t'aime bien

[@jocelynbarton463]

that moment when you feel 13 again lol

[@Max-vb6le]

[@Devyon69]

[@alextheactor42069]

Same

[@intoxicated5321]

That moment when your not even past 13 yet YEETUS TO THE FEETUS BOIIIII I DONT WANNA GROW UP

[@dakotagordon8756]

More like EIGHT!!!

[@BlackGothicLace]

Her beautiful voice singing about the Weight of the World makes me feel weightless enough to freefall and never hit the ground.

[@flavy1000]

One of the best from this album... Insane riff!!

[@maralb7182]

If you don't mind has awesome gitar playing to

[@flavy1000]

Yes, it does!

[@jwin713]

Reporting The Song For Being Wonderful!! Love Amy's Voice

[@kriszthespartan]

[@OmerSahin-co1zl]

[@Akritiedward]

evanesence is the best.

[@KatsKingdom1]

[@evsoldier1539]

Evanescence is nostalgic

[@justsomeguywholosthismusta8495]

If you love me! Then, let go of me! I won’t be held down by who I used to be!

[@thehallofvalhalla]

Oh sweet holy jesus christ. Her voice is incredible...

[@akinachan8232]

I looove Evanescence 😍😍😍 This is my favorit song 😍😍

[@penguinlover1461]

Let's hope they come to Holland as well! I missed their concert because I was on a camp :( Even though it was awesome, I couldn't help but regret missing the concert of my life.

[@shirayuki3912]

"I know how it feels to be completely alone and helpless, and the last thing you want to hear in that situation is "It's going to be okay." The only thing that seems to really help is that someone else who has felt that low expressing those feelings to you.”―Amy Lee

[@rosemariearroyo8086]

Lovee thiss songgggg!3

[@eagledood77]

Love dis song!!!!! :D

[@trlca]

my fave lines are "still in the dark, can you fix me?" "I know you don't believe in me"

[@Gulivan188]

I want to bash my head into a wall over the emo argument, emo is short for emotional which has the root word emotion. That's why the songs are emotional and about painful obstacles in life.

[@DarkAngelFalling13]

That might be how you see it, but everyone has different emotions my friend. What makes one person cry in pain can feel like nothing to another. What makes one person laugh can scare another. Parents control their kids to protect them, but, sheltering kids from the world won't help in the long run. All it does is leads to a rude awakening when the kid grows up and has to deal with the real world on their own. No ones parents will be around forever to take care of them.

[@kabesn1217]

I love her music people just can't see this is music

[@raniahkhan5698]

ikr'??

[@zackzaike4630]

it's not a her. Evanescence is a band, Amy Lee is the lead vocalist.

[@zackzaike4630]

***** but it's a band. she only writes the lyrics. the actual instrumentation is written by the actual band. I mean, she probably helps with the instruments(she does play the piano), but it's a group effort. get what i'm saying?

[@ylantongiorgi]

@@zackzaike4630 Amy Lee is the only vocalist in Evanescence so it's like she's a solo artist, the other members only play instruments, or compose, or produce but not sing.

[@zackzaike4630]

I wish that instrumental part after the second chorus lasted longer. I mean, that is literally the most badass part of the entire album(well, the lacrymosa guitar solo is in contention too, but...)

[@iCALLED911]

i luvs this song!

[@SoraQuill]

My parents expect me to have VERY high grades at my school. I may have been brilliant once... but now I'm only clever and it feels like the weight of the world.

[@ellsbells2921]

i luv this band

[@MsSelenagomez1993]

love this song

[@joeygrotentraast2673]

I wish everyone was like this.

[@evanescenceakii]

evanescenceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! ILYSM!!! MAD ABOUT THEM!! CRY ABOUT THEM!! SMILE ABOUT THEM!! DIE ABOUT THEM!! LIVE ABOUT THEM!! Love you more than EVERYTHING evanescence!!!! (vote this post if u do too!!)

[@missamazing270]

her voice. 0% human 100 % angel

[@SilverMoon459]

Feels like the weight of the world, Like all my screaming has gone unheard.

[@opheliebeigenger58]

[@littlemisssunshine2k]

Your very true :) I went through a bad patch, put Evanescence on and instead I started rocking out to them instead of self harming so, yea, they prevent self harming :) x

[@sergiublaj7180]

AWSOME!!!
