Lacrymosa

[@ianfigures]

I love how they used Mozart's Lacrimosa Requiem in their song. It perfect mix between classical and modern music.

[@bonobo2go]

I am 52 years old...I love Mozart's requiem....and I love this version....it is powerful and emotional. Excellent lyrics.

[@ELITExSHINOBI]

i love the background vocals, they are an excellent tribute and backup to amy's voice. They make the song more smooth as it provides an easy transition and flow of the words

[@KingArthur13th]

to turn a classical sound like Mozart into something like this is an amazing beauty of nature. Evanesence is truly the best

[@devilyncrys]

a beautiful song. The mix of music and her voice goes perfectly. Love it!

[@truellaksala]

Wonderful song! Awesome combinations of vocal, instrumental, and emotional. I practically sway w/ the violin! Love it!

[@seattlegrrlie]

I just love it when a band incorporates strings into their music.

[@BettytheAnimalLover]

This makes me happy. It makes me sway. It makes me sing along against my own will. The classical beauty of the instumental blended with Amy's voice is perfection.

[@xElectricVibe]

Perfection, I love their style and I absolutely adore Amy. The violin is just beautiful.

[@kiss9hug]

i love the way they combined the mozart piece with some rock elements-it works soo well!!

[@king1091]

OMG! I love this song! I love you soooo much! Thank you for making this song!

[@ItachiSensei13]

I agree, this is an amazing song, very well done. Mixing today's music with classical makes the song almost poetic. A lot of classical music is actually really powerful. I have a lot of respect for composers like Mozart, and musicians today that appreciate their work.

[@flerfymcflerf098]

this is the only band in the world who can sound creepy, awesome, peacefull , and epic all at the same time :D i love evanescence

[@caribbeanscorpion]

freakin awesome...genius. this takes my breath away every time

[@TheNessie26]

This song is AMAZING!!! I can't stop listening to it!

[@amberlover678]

One of my favorite songs on The Open Door, so unique!

[@snoopy108]

the sound of the violin is very beautiful and mysterious, i can relate to this song alot

[@miasereana]

this song got me into show choir....the best songs do amazing things and this is one of them

[@lizbethgray]

I'm a huge fan of Mozart's Mass, but this is just an adjunct of someone's expression. I personally love it. I'm a Elgar and Mozart fan and I play the French horn and am well into the classical music world, but evolution and creative freedom is the same thing Mozart had back then and he had some terrible critics that didn't recognize his talent until he died. He was buried in a pauper's grave. Passion! Embrace it.

[@TheFuzzyLemonXD]

This peice is amazing! I can't get enough!

[@michaelashmore1]

This is amazing, I love how they have taken a beautiful song, and kept it, but made it have a haunting more atmospheric feel, if anyone else in the world did something like this it could not work, they do not have the operatic quality Amy does to her voice, and man they could never compose something so beautiful... Mozart would genuinely say good job... and he would be right.

[@TheJonnyRogers]

I know many people think this ruining Mozart, but I think it's great how they are trying to introduce a new genre in today's music! AMAZING song!!!

[@SnowWhiteQueen29]

Mozart=Favorite classical musician Amy Lee=Favorite modern musician This song is AMAZING. I love love love it. XD

[@jormannvalenzuelaflores8295]

Esta es una de las pocas canciones que retoma un gran clásico y no lo entorpece, al contrario, lo engrandeció!! GRANDE EVANESCENCE

[@silverchyld]

It is definitely a great performance. I thought of the band KiTTiE--how Morgan Lander's voice got stronger as she started touring. As with any artist, touring usually helps strengthen the voice. Thanks again for recommending it to me :) And thank you for giving recommendations instead of blasting me; I truly appreciate it.

[@jake5234]

i love this song its is one of the best evanescence songs!! and thats not cos it has got mozart's theme in it!! I think that by changing this piecec they have not diminished it at all but have merely taken it to a different level!! still love it

[@VaughnHart]

I love this song. I'm writing a vampire series (an actual gothic horror one which takes place in WW2, none of that Twilight shit) and I've had trouble writing the sequel because it's supposed to be even darker, more thrilling, more emotionally consuming. I just realized that I need to drag out my old Evanescence albums because this stuff really puts me there. I love them and I can't wait for a third album.

[@yahhello]

Beautiful song.

[@puddycat10136710year]

love it, her songs have so much meaning to them. Her songs can also help you make it through hard times, amy lee is the best.... no doubts about that.

[@twistazoomalark]

I love this song!!! It's addicting!

[@Drbolla345]

Classical music isn't something that people can adapt or upgrade, its something that is a statue of its own posture. Out of all the music in the world, classical music is meant to be felt, seen and heard. Its music that no matter how many years it has progressed, its going to be the same. You cannot recreate what took skill, dedication and time to just some modern music. Its meant to be left alone. Its meant to dazzle in its own beginning structure. Played how it first began.

[@LaurenGriffin1983]

Love this playlist!

[@AnteForsman]

"The Requiem" itself are a composition made mainly for the Dead, for memorial. "Lacrymosa" or "Lacrimosa" is arguably the most popular movement of the Mozart's Requiem. Noone can love this piece, or song, more than me! You can't! ^^ I have just one word for this song, and it's: "MAGIC". Don't you all agree? THIS IS MAGIC. Hey, I'm only 15, but I love goth metal and classical music. Hah, what a mix? :D

[@Akkary]

Part II Even in acting and poetry where the text is always the same for a certain poem or play, the reader may understand it in a different way because he/she's a different person and 2 different actors may play the same character in 2 different ways and maybe not even in the exact way the play writer thought of it. It's the same about this song. They took the original, added their message/emotions and turned it into a rock song. They did a really good job.

[@jajenni]

this song is so beautiful..I love it

[@silverchyld]

Thanks for explaining :) I really hate it when people call her "fat", and someone even said she was "overweight". Wow. She's not. She's just not scrawny.

[@Itachisbadgirl13]

this is my favorite song of hers ^^ amazing

[@Lizflow]

amazing!!! i love this song...

[@jamirohertje]

Ik vind het heel erg gedurft om dit meesterwerk van Mozart te bewerken tot dit en ik vind dat het Amy erg goed gelukt is. Moedig, heel moedig! Mijn complimenten!!

[@madonnasniffspoppers]

this song is great, we're singing Lacrymosa by Mozart in our choir class, so our choir director let us listen to this song and she said it was a great adaptation of the original song. I agree with her, I love it.

[@Urmotherrocks]

I have to say, this has to be by far their most epic song. It seems to hold a plot. I could actually imagine reading a book about the lyrics they seem to be able to have so many different meanings! I know Mozart did the original composition, but Evanescence have done an amazing rendition on an amazing classic. They've changed it into a mixture between a heavy metal and classical song - amazing.

[@iRockHisWorld13]

you don't think that it's incredible that so many years after the man is gone, people still care enough about his music to incorporate it into their own?

[@aubre_sings]

Such a beautiful song. Mozart is one of my favourite composers and with Amy Lee singing along with makes it 10x better :D And that's probably my favourite photoshoot from Evanescence. :]

[@blackcherry182]

la rola es muy buena y la musica esta super padre. felicidades

[@LUXAETERNA6603]

This girl is really good, she doesnt ruin the song at all; I mean she doesnt have to remix the sound to much to make it work, she kept lacrimosa in there and its still beautiful. Even Mozart would approve, I think.

[@mrsspanner14]

Love Mozart, love Amy's voice, love this.

[@PrincessAriel2sing]

this song is bloody amazing. I just love it. It can mean so many things to so many people. For me personally it reminsd me of my anorexia.

[@OiM27]

This was my favorite song from TOD for a long time... I don't think I would've love it without the choir singing "Lacrimosa dies illa" in the background, though.

[@ladyyuna2000]

love the picture it goes well with the song

[@KingArthur13th]

So beautiful that even Mozart would approve.

[@jazer426]

i think your just mad cuase she did a great job with a classic piece and made it modern my hats off to you amy the godess of rock

[@JillValentineJV]

this has to be the song of my life.... And for many others also, with all the stress and guilt out there.... i'm sorry Josh :(

[@JalenMonday]

Who says it has to be defended? As a composer myself, the duty we have as musical innovators is to affect society as a whole by getting them to listen and be inspired. Obviously those who adopt his style or have their own renditions have been affected by his music, and that's exactly what anyone who creates anything for others wants. To affect and inspire others.

[@EVILxBADEEND]

beautiful song!

[@Akkary]

Part I I think this song is really good. It was not meant to be an exact copy of the original in a rock version, but the original was just the starting point. When something that is meant to express emotions is performed by someone else in a different way, it expresses more of the emotions of the one who performs it than of the one who wrote it.

[@delkitten]

amy lee is a genius in her own right and truth be told, she has turned mozart's ambiguous deathwish into a desperate hunger with her version of lacrymosa i'm proud to be her fan and if they were living in the same era, i'm sure mozart would have taken her under his wing by now

[@moneyhunny3507]

Dear haters of Lacrymosa: Some of this song is dedicated to her sister, Bonnie, who died in 1987 at the age of 3. Amy was 6 at the time and found out when she was at school. This song is very close to her heart so please don't hate; understand. Show some sympathy for this amazing woman who even took the time out to write a song like this. Most of the haters probably haven't even gone through what Amy's gone through. Don't judge before you know the story.

[@upindust]

I think the music is beautiful and well classical music is the foundation to all music today. It's always good to work with classics. She didn't butcher it

[@fuseileter]

This used to be my go to song in middle school where I got picked on daily by a group of nasty girls. This song pretty much empowered/got me through it all. :) Well... a lot of her songs did. So I won't ever be one of those people who turns my back on her music. I still listen for old times sake from time to time.

[@awesomeness413]

when i hear this song, i have this image in my head. its so beautiful

[@SnowyXx]

I sooooooooooooo LOVE Evanescence!!!! I think this is one of my favorites :D

[@3crazypets]

Love this song so much!!!!!!!

[@MsMinoula]

this song is superb!!

[@phatgirlz333]

when i listen 2 the lyrics i think of so many things I LUV THIS SONG!

[@Prazynka333]

Można tego słuchać i słuchać ... 5!

[@Drbolla345]

His music was written with skill, dedication, passion and immobile depth that is unbreakable. This is just a remake with some beats that was placed in her perspective, its nothing but some nonsense that is going to live for only a few months. Never even heard of it. Ask everyone in this entire globe who Mozart is, and you will undoubtly get a response with understanding. He is ubiquitously well known even to the unknown regions of the planet. A murder to one of Mozart's pinnacle music creation.

[@EmilyRoseSally]

classic! love it, beutiful!

[@brunoblood]

Perfect!! Lacrymosa Is one of the best songs of Evanescence, So Lacrimosa (From Mozart's Requiem k626) it's Good Too

[@humbertocuevas]

[@temarifan987]

[@AkiraAsuka]

great song ! is voll cool.

[@vampirewish]

Amy Lee (the singer of Evanescence for some of you who don't know) decided to cover lacrimosa because she is a huge fan of classical music. and for some of you who say they ruined it or why they even covered this piece uhh lets see, she played classical piano for 9 yrs... she is also is inspired by mozart and she is also a huge choir fan. thats why she incorporates all that into her songs

[@scorpiomarie]

how does amy sing that loud in the end when she sings "I dont want to hold you back now love" Wow, amy is amazing, I could never sing at that high pitch for that long lol!! :)
