PATREON PICK OF THE WEEK! | EVANESCENCE "MY IMMORTAL" (REACTION)

[@mrbaddog4749]

Amy's voice is what I imagine an angel's voice would sound like. Pure angelic.

[@katemccrea6963]

I got to see her live last year and I think my soul left my body. When she performed My Immortal, the whole crowd was singing along and she looked like she wanted to cry. It was one of those magical experiences that makes going to concerts worth it.

[@mollieking7432]

Ethereal is the perfect word for Amy Lee's voice on these emotional slow ballads. Angelic is another. She has the most amazing voice. The official video for this song is beautiful and spawns great discussions.

[@shanemyersmyers1379]

This is my favorite Evanescence Song. I have seen probably more than half of the U Tube reactors tear up when they hear this song. It makes me tear up. The song reminds me of the most heartbreaking breakup that I went thru 15 years ago. There isn't a day that I don't think about her.

[@davephillips7209]

Amy Lee, truly a gift vocally. It's just one of those songs you want to sing too. When you watch the official, realize as you listen she never touches the ground, she is a ghost that he can't let go of. It's amazing in that context. IMO great material

[@rachelk8937]

Amy Lee is iconic. What a voice!! ❤️❤️🔥🔥

[@gcevanlp23]

That electrifying feeling you have, her voice does that to you when you’re in that room. They are incredible live, I see them every time they come around.

[@jasonbarts9202]

Another unbelievable female voice is her friend Lzzy Hale from the band Halestorm. Yes I spelled her name right. The song to listen to is Break in they both sign on it.

[@2trntbls]

@jasonbarts9202 Yep. 2nd that.

[@jerryactrik1901]

my Wife and I saw Halestorm when they were the opening band on the main stage at Uproar Fest (2010?). The lights were down, Lzzy walked onstage by herself and belted/screamed and held the first word of "It's not you" with no accompaniment and the whole place went absolutely silent. I think we all just thought, "WTF" at the same time. You had to be there, I can only compare it to what I imagine people feel when they start holy ghostin' in church. I doubt many in the crowd even knew who they were, but a lot of us became instant fans. I 3rd that.

[@joemckinley754]

And they sing too!!!! JK

[@rusyakel8918]

I have Requested that one repeatedly

[@-scrim]

It's a shame she's such an embarrassment in her personal life!

[@rls110961]

I saw them last September in concert. This song hit hard. One of the most beautiful live performances I've ever heard. By the end I was sobbing...

[@matthewdooley7855]

She's got a great connection with the lyrics. And her voice is just brilliant.

[@kelvinboard5541]

When I helped run a young lads football (UK) team from under 10s to under 16s we had a young lad called Stevie Gee, and this was his favourite song. Unfortunately he drowned of the coast of Majorca at the tender age of 17. This was played at his funeral, very emotional. RIP Stevie.X

[@Drumcarver]

I took my Daughters to see Evanescence on their first tour when they came to Detroit. When She did this song on the piano it was amazing.

[@TheSoulwriter88]

Amy’s voice is so haunting… in a good way. Gives you chills & you can truly feel the emotions behind her words. Great Reaction! 🩵🥰

[@richmorlang1854]

Her voice is angelic, literally can bring tears to your eyes

[@Caldyman]

I always appreciate you candor, Britt. Nice reaction. I saw Evanescence, along with Holy Wars this past may in Puerto Rico. An amazing show. Amy Lee's voice is intact, just pristine. 👌🏽

[@billgatt7816]

I love watching your videos and ill cry listening to this as this was the last song my friend Beth sent me before committing suicide I never thought she would do it as she always talked about it but I would talk for hours she must have had pain I can't even fathom

[@071949]

For the "record": "The lyrics of the song refer to a spirit that haunts the memory of a grieving loved one. Similar to several other songs written by [Ben] Moody, the lyrics of the song are based on a short story he had previously written. According to Lee, it was "Ben [Moody]'s song." Moody said that the song talks about "a spirit staying with you after its death and haunting you until you actually wish that the spirit were gone because it won't leave you alone." He also stated in the booklet of Fallen that he dedicated the song to his grandfather, Bill Holcomb. In "My Immortal", Lee expresses her feelings through the line, "Though you're still with me / I've been alone all along.A writer for IGN said that "'My Immortal' is a song of pain and despair caused by the loss of a family member or very close friend and how it drove her [Lee] to the edge of insanity."

[@NickGrana]

“Lost in Paradise” The Session… Fantastic!

[@michaelrudolph7003]

I'm pretty sure she's getting at with the "My Immoral" line is that she's saying you are gone and I'm trying to move on but you haunt me, you're immoral in an entirely different sense. Like she said she's basically being haunted by this person who she can't have and can't move on from no matter how she tries, its like they're immortal and can't die or be erased or moved on from. A very unique way of thinking about someone being immortal.

[@morrigan_fayre3778]

Amy Lee is my girl forever. Her voice is a warm blanket on a cold day. Enveloping, warm, sultry, ethereal and otherworldly at the same time. She is so calming, listen to her all the time

[@93kingu]

First off, excellent reaction to a beautiful song. Secondly, I love that shirt and must have one....looks like something your cousin (sub there too) should own and certainly wear! Kindness is in fact free! Thanks Britt!

[@StevenRay66]

I believe she wrote this song in remembrance of her younger sister who passed away at a young age.

[@ManuelAngelMartin-om4xy]

My inmortal, you died but your memory lives inside of me and feeds my pain forever; you are inmortal for me.

[@davidbradshaw2293]

In my opinion, I always listen to studio first to catch everything and then watch the lives

[@allenbridges2787]

Her voice is Angelic. Plain and Simple. When i go i definitely want to be sang to the gates by her voice.

[@quinjesuis9187]

Beyond incredible 🙏🙏🙏

[@cameronk6205]

OMG! I can't wait til you hear something from the Synthesis concert. Full thing available on YT. This song is in there, plus a bunch of other really incredible . . . No . . . Masterful works of art.

[@race3wide]

Evanescence and Halestorm are going to be performing together at Rocklahoma on Labor Day Weekend.

[@brianburwick5175]

My Immortal Beloved.

[@tomheinrichs7058]

The song is about the loss of a child. It’s unclear whether she is referring to a sibling or a child. However, for those of us who have felt that haunting space left over after a child is lost. It’s quite unique.

[@mattpotter8725]

It was her sister I believe that the song is about.

[@markrobinson176]

The video was so awesome. You have to see it if you haven't. I love your breakdowns and reaction

[@brittreacts]

I will check it out

[@CarelessOne222]

If you like her more melodic stuff you should check out " Broken" it's by the band Seether ft. Amy Lee. Goosebumps every time.

[@pamagnolia]

So awesome!! I love this song!!!

[@WolvenHeart1]

First time hearing, and it is beautiful. Anytime the percussion holds off until later in the song, it just hits you in the face , it's then you realize that there were no drums until then.

[@Jasper0o0]

I’ll be seeing them in October, & I can’t wait!

[@sje8670]

With Halestorm and The Warning-those shows will be lit!

[@chrismenoscal8213]

Lost in paradise live at the Nobel prize cerner is a MUST

[@CheddaOne]

Britt from the snippets of yourvoice you’ve shared, I’d dare say you’d give Amy a run for her money 😮❤

[@jessicamccard9602]

I agree! Britt, you have a beautiful voice!

[@richardfeldkamp1707]

Amy Lee did a concert with Wagakki Band from Japan, The pairing on Bring Me to Life and Senbon no Zakura are amazing

[@anitanino8435]

Watching them live was amazing!

[@brittreacts]

I can only imagine!!

[@joemckinley754]

For my money, the ultimate start slow and explode song is Going Under. But what do i know?

[@Hili47]

The arrangement is the studio version, but there is two versions on the album. The other one doesn't have the heavy part.

[@AndreiCarol-c6j]

AMY LEE THE QUEEN❤❤❤

[@PeaceMakerS2]

Loving the comedians. Shane and all the guys as well

[@stevemcgoogan4470]

There’s an incredible acoustic version of this. If you check it out, you won’t be sorry.

[@2trntbls]

They are conducting. And thankfully - it's soothing, reflecting, heartfelt - not violent promoting etc. In my opinion. Yes I know anyone can make anything out of anything. But the crowd is swaying, not beating the **** out of each other. Although I'm sure there are examples of that at any kind of anything that anyone wants to bring to our awareness. It's true though, that there is a power in this, and how you use it, matters. Whether you just wanna do the thing, or not.

[@ryanm776]

Britt I notice we are opposites in that you like watching live versions and I tend to like studio versions!

[@MrHws5mp]

Amy didn't leave the band, it was the guy she formed it with (guitarist?) who left after the first album. Nobody 'lets' her do the song this way: it's very much HER band: she decides they're doing it this way, then this is how they're doing it...

[@justinward9046]

This was written in remembrance of her younger sister that died when Amy was very young. She's done a couple others that are about that too.

[@JustatypicalMILLENIAL]

From somebody who saw this live 20 years ago and 1 year ago she sounds the same live and gives the same emotional range live. Amy is an actual goddess!

[@JustatypicalMILLENIAL]

I was at the Australian release concert not long after my dad died. Just over 20 years later they came back and no lie it was the first time I cried.

[@Voldrani]

I’m not sure if it’s ever been said about this song but I’ve always felt it was about her sister that passed away when they were young. The song ‘Hello’ from the same album is also about her.

[@Voldrani]

Also, the original version of this song didn’t have the heavy part at the end. I first heard that live and it took me off guard in the best way. There’s a version with their friend David Hodges doing the harmony vocals as well.

[@stevekozle7247]

I think this song was written about her sister who passed away 😢

[@cliffordsmith8230]

She has a song with Seether called "Broken", u should check that out.

[@AngieCarr]

Her name is Amy, Amy Lee. There’s 2 versions of this song (that I know of), the one you’re listening to and the other takes away the power ballad portion and maintains the softer tone throughout.

[@joecovey2235]

Amy didn't leave the band, for all purposes she is the band, she's had a lot of different member in the band over the years, but she plays with the band and has done some solo work and work with other artists. She is amazing in concert, I've seen her/them twice. I'd love to do it again if I get the chance. This is an awesome performance of her and them doing My Immortal.

[@Rob_Infinity3]

The original studio version was just Amy and the piano. Then when the song was released as a single. They added the rest of the band and it was just like this performance.

[@blkcerberusgaming8256]

You need to listen to Bring me to life from this same concert. It's amazing.

[@yeti4954]

There's a bunch of music videos from that debut album. Check 'em all out lol.

[@johnnyg.2799]

You need to watch the official music video to really understand this record.

[@scottNNJ]

Yes, the album version is this slow. I suggest you check out Evanescence’s more recent song “Use My Voice”. A very appropriate song for the current time.

[@rusyakel8918]

Amy Lee. She duets with Lzzy Hale, Break In. Simply AMAZING

[@jasonwhite5609]

'Squirrel' lol

[@mattokeeffe3972]

What I love about this song, aside from the musicians and, obviously, Amy's voice. It's the way the lyric tempo doesn't change. Regardless of the way the music rises & falls to different levels.

[@jonelmer3518]

I liked your video 16 seconds in because of your fantastic shirt!

[@brittreacts]

Yay, thank you!

[@paulrowe006]

You just need to take a quick trip to Canada this fall. Evanescence is touring with Halestorm, and the Warning are opening for them. Great bill overall.

[@rantoppp]

Hi Britt, I like your shirt!

[@brandonseyfried1251]

The song is about the death of Amy's baby sister, and how she's struggling trying to move past it.

[@2trntbls]

Evanescence - Hello

[@JohnPaul-hm2ys]

I love her voice - ethereal is a great description. Their song Hello is hauntingly beautiful. As for this song, love it, but it is associated with my long-time (25 years) stalker. When this came out, he told me this is our song. And then told me he bought a lithograph of me that is part of a museum archive, so I can be in his home. I haven't physically seen him in over 20 years, he is harmless to me, but his last message included a picture of my new home off of Google maps - i didn't give him the address. I am just his obsession, and, oddly, I would miss him if he stopped trying to be my mate. When his wife left him because of the obsession, I was a little nervous, but years have passed since then. It's a little creepy, but I guess I learned to live with the little love notes and the yearly gift of heart ornaments. It is part of my most interesting life's journey.

[@toddellison5128]

Amy Lee did a really cute Kid's Music Lullaby album in 2016 called "Dream Too Much", you should check it out. Also, the official video for this song is crazy, good and better seen first. IMHO

[@joe10852003]

Im gonna get to see Amy in a couple months at louder than life. Can't wait

[@vishd33]

If i am nto mistaken she wrote it for some1 from here closest circle that got cancer I believe and was dying

[@Vann132]

Amy's adorable! ❤

[@doctor8342]

Not only one of the greatest voices, but Amy Lee is one of the most beautiful women to ever walk this earth...

[@grindhouse53]

In the song she is the one who died

[@John-d5j9o]

❤❤❤u it's a little sad this morning but it's a good song

[@JFrazer4303]

It's been suggested that she's a ghost. Stuck in one place and time while everyone else has moved on. In the video her feet never touch the ground (she's on something like alow wall of a fountain rim), and nobody seems to see her. Please look for acoustic versions of her. Just her and a piano or a guitar player.

[@jeffhardytributes1125]

Gotta check out my heart is broken by them

[@johncook2913]

Please react to the Evenesense official video "You Never Call Me When You're Sober" and Seether's "Broken", which Amy sings on. These really showcase her vocals.

[@jamesgirard1090]

Emo is literally short for emotional, so emo kids couldn’t lack emotion

[@haraldisdead]

Omg why would any reactor EVER use the live version?

[@adammckinney792]

You got to do epica next check out unleash the archers too

[@leephoenix4041]

I know artists like to make their works Nebulas and Vague so that the audience can make it their own; Therefore given the given, this song reminds me of the Colton Burpo movie “Heaven is Real”. Where Colton goes to Heaven and asks Jesus where the Holy Spirit is and Jesus says that the Holy Spirit is on Earth with The Body of Christ. TO ME, this is the Holy Spirit’’s love song to Jesus.

[@brianbreckler9685]

Amy Lee has one of the best voices you can hear. Se has a Whitney Houston level voice. You really need to react to Evanescence(Amy) cover The Beatles(John Lennons) ' Across the Universe'

[@unkeymoo]

If you're going to blur the video anyway then why don't you just watch the official video?

[@GaryHicks]

Live videos still get copyright. She wanted to react to the live version so she did. If you want to clearly see the video why don't YOU go watch the original video?

[@brianhowells1547]

The song is about her deceased sister

[@options378]

No it’s not it was inspired by Ben Moodys Grandfather. Hello is about her sister

[@Nick-mg5bj]

Look up "The Band" song-"Paint my masterpiece" A Bob Dylan cover but think you'd enjoy it

[@alexparker1911]

Lost in paradise is great

[@rickyork7089]

Bring me back to life was the other song

[@doctor8342]

Imagine writing a song like this at like 16 I think it was....

[@marysellemaldonado6182]

React to Amy Lee Speak to Me you will cray with her voice and The change but the caustic version in Germany.

[@WillFlyTheLightingGuy]

The studio version is pretty much the same. The majority of the song is Amy and a piano (with some added light strings in the background), and the band doesn’t come in until the last chorus.

[@FreddyBrewster]

Watch the official video of it... not stop goosebumps

[@nauseantrock532]

Amy is my frankenstine singer she captivates

[@LloydBennett-ky6jl]

Hey its lb2 again, i gave u the wrong title of that video i wanted u to review its,,,the day elvis died, media coverage, american trilogy,,,

[@HerryPalebangan]

Hai britt, you have to watch and react this man... Dimas Senopati, a singer from indonesia....

[@barshank15]

I know you're a fan of Putri Ariani... She has a cover of Labrinth - Jealous

[@mistybenefield5796]

She's extraordinary, but I do wish you'd been linked to a different version. I find it so difficult to hear her through all the ambient noise from the crowd, etc. But my hearing isn't great so maybe it's just me.

[@Truzak]

Should have reacted to the music video. It has close to a BILLION views. There's a reason for that. It adds so much to the lyrics and their meaning.

[@SmallTownMusicFreak]

After hearing Dan Vasc’s cover of this song, I cannot listen to any other. He just elevates everything he does so much that the original song is just ordinary. This isn’t bad; it’s just nice and ordinary, and I prefer more than that from my music now. Still a very good reaction, though!

[@kellymarklong]

Watch the official video, Britt.🤦🏻‍♂️
