Evanescence - Your Star (lyrics) HD

Background info about the song
Terry Balsamo's favorite song on The Open Door, and the song Amy's finding it most fun to play live from The Open Door. She used both the piano and the percussive organ to play the song using her Baldwin Digital Piano. It displays the maturity of the band's new sound. The choir once again appears, causing the end of the song to be really epic. It includes a piano solo of 41 seconds, but it continues after a second bridge (All my fears [...] own way out) and to the end of the song.
At the concert in Athens, Amy sang "The mechanical lights of Athens..." instead of Lisbon.
Also, in their concert in Paris, she also sang "The mechanical lights of Paris...."
Also in 2009 at the Maquinaria Festival, Amy sang, "The mechanical lights of Brazil..."
Amy's description of the song:
"A couple of years ago, I felt so alone that I was dreading going on tour. We had just arrived in Lisbon and I was in my room feeling jet-lagged, weird and tired. I had just been home where I could see the stars at night. But when I looked out the hotel window in Lisbon, I couldn't see anything because we were in this big city. That was the last straw. I felt so depressed, I just started singing this song."
During the bridge, the background choir sings "Alma surdo, loucura, o­nde está seu alma? Loucura, todo sozinho" (Portuguese with some grammatical mistakes) which tries to mean "Deaf soul, madness, where is its soul? Madness, all alone" in English. In correct portuguese it would be "Alma surda, loucura, onde está sua alma? Loucura, toda sozinha"
Amy mentioned once in one of their concerts in Ottawa, Canada that this song was "pretty much the hardest thing [they] have ever written."

Amy's voice is like an angel HER MUSIC IS ART

[@CiarraMMichelle]

Her vocals are unbelievable.

[@joshs4752]

Imagine feeeling her vocals 😳

[@emilyshawcross9561]

When the organ comes in, it sounds so haunting and beautiful.

[@MDE-11-84]

Emily Shawcross -- Yeah, I like it

[@nicknormousreports3378]

Hands down one of my all time favorite songs period.

[@suzymartin218]

Same!

[@mithramusic5909]

Have you heard My Last Breath, Like You, or Tourniquet? Evanescence doesn't need to hide thoughts about death or suicide behind hidden messages.

[@wilanttorro5222]

Tourniquet, I love this song..

[@davidcrozier8935]

Best song I’ve ever heard in 62 years.

[@spirallingmoon]

I still go to tears when I hear this song... "and Im alone now" usually where all composure falls apart...

[@erzasarlet6638]

I havent cried in almost a year.. Thank you evanescence ❤️

[@mirawati227]

I can't see your star I can't see your star Though I patiently waited bedside for the death of today I can't see your star And the mechanical lights of Lisbon frightened it away And I'm alone now Me and all I stood for We're wandering now All in parts, and pieces swim lonely Find your own way out I can't see your star I can't see your star How can the darkness feel so wrong? And I'm alone now Me and all I stood for We're wandering now All in parts and pieces swim lonely Find your own way out So far away It's growing colder without your love Why can't you feel me calling your name? Can't break the silence It's breaking me All my fears turn to rage And I'm alone now Me and all I stood for We're wandering now All in parts and pieces swim lonely Find your own way out now, hey Nothing worth fighting for We're wandering now All in parts and pieces swim lonely Find your own way out

[@sparklingdaisy3169]

Why are you writing lyrics under a lyrics video?

[@tubrub]

@@sparklingdaisy3169 because some of us are impatient for the next lyric

[@tinythingy4]

I swear Amy is divine

[@liroz888]

One of their saddest and most amazing songs ever.

[@fabioorlando8787]

Don't forget that Amy herself officially dedicated this song to we Evanescence italian fans, as we named a star after the band in 2007. She has the certificate at her home ;)

[@sockjoeart4606]

im scared of NDEs in which atheists go to hell and come back Christian.

[@fabioorlando8787]

Sock ÷ Joeart ...wut?

[@sockjoeart4606]

Fabio A idk man i just felt the need to tell you that... just look it up lol

[@fabioorlando8787]

Sock ÷ Joeart umm ok 😅, i'm an atheist and i hate christians btw, if that can make you feel less embarassed

[@sockjoeart4606]

+Fabio A yea, just tell me what you you think after looking it up

[@lemmihilldrix1450]

This has been my favorite song by them since high scool... haven't listened to it in years, but now that I understand music more, this is just addicting. Incredible music

[@ISIS-ks8ir]

This is definately the best song from the open door.

[@EvRocksMySox]

One of the best three songs on the Open door along with Lithium and Good Enough

[@kindbloodedArlanna]

I absolutely love this song, absolutely love it.

[@MDE-11-84]

[@lisalingafelter8838]

She's an amazing artist

[@heladooscuro990]

Such a great talent

[@isabeaublea8008]

I love how you put the background of the song and meaning from the artist. Awesome video!

[@jwhitloctombraider]

Turn the volume up. Does anyone else hear. "Do it." After she says "Though I patiently waited bed side for the death of today."

[@Tiggster-qr8mw]

Holy shit you’re right!

I really love this song!

[@london2120]

beautiful voice , nice song

[@PureLightHealer]

I love this song! So eerie! I like the starry-background you used. Fit the melancholy feel and the lyrics of course :)

[@ksenijamiljevic996]

+bobby powell When she was on tour in Lisbon she felt homesick and lonely. And when she went outside of her hotel and looked up the sky she wasn't able to see stars (like she could at her home) be cause of too bright mechanical lights of Lisbon.

[@superstarduck3823]

she wasn't born in libson

[@ksenijamiljevic996]

I know, I said when she was on tour

[@heathercamball4691]

Makes me sob totally amazing and stunning love Amy love evanescence perfection

[@fallenangel6241]

[@eilonamram14]

[@iris33204]

ME ENCANTA ESTA CANCION!!! ME IDENTIFICO MUCHO CON LA MUSICA DE EVANESCENCE

[@EliaAngst]

This is probably the soundtrack to the "Petite Prince"... I keep weeping.

[@stalag2112]

This is probably the most awesome lyric video I have ever seen.

[@Emma-hd8kr]

Esta canción obra maestra.

[@francescaellis3615]

Amy Lee is great

[@whoknows8874]

*Astoundingly Amazing

[@SpookyGhost20]

This song hurts me so much. My aunt was murdered in 2007 when I was little. The Open Door was the CD in her car and the last CD she listened to. My mom told me the brightest star in the sky was her smiling down at me.

[@jatzirigamer5534]

i love this song

[@13tzenaki]

this song is the best love it

[@theoriginaljoker9729]

This woman has a strong powerful soul of a Angel that shine stronger than most as there a powerful ora around her and thru her voice I have always felt from her. Love is the source of magic from the holy ghost within us all that gives us life. My soul is a original from the beginning of creation and we all are one through the holy ghost as I have restore my wings to my vessel the more I rise in spiritual pressure of love magic of the family of Light I sense a huge build up of spiritual pressure within her ready to bust out

[@thatweirdotakuskai]

shes amazayn i love her!!!!!

[@AlexanderAquarius]

stunning

[@anamecalledname]

Good to know it isn’t “only pots and pieces will hold me”. I think “all in parts and pieces, swim lonely” makes probably more sense 😂

[@annahuet7893]

Ohhhh, I've been trying to figure out what it is for a while, I heard "swim lonely" but I thought that was too weird and was probably wrong XD

[@theodorag.7675]

amazing song

[@treverlaunzinger3774]

Love this song so much. 12 yrs later

[@heladooscuro990]

This song is abolutely beautiful

[@Cosmic_Ocean_]

One day universe will go apart, everything will be so away to even see. With this song, im imagining those days. I hope that time is a circle and universe will start again from its own.

[@nadine6948]

I hope in those days music like this helps
