Supercut of Youtubers reacting to Evanescence's "My Immortal"

[@alpha1481]

The drums kicking in gives you the cathartic release you need from the slow build

[@autumnlinsinbigler9385]

Personally I like the all piano version about the same as the drums. They both have a perfect place depending on what you need.

[@rawkmode6315]

For those that don't know, Amy is playing the ghost of a girl that haunts Ben (the dude at the piano.) The lyrics she is singing are actually the thoughts of the man, who is grieving her death. While the lyrics themselves are fiction, Ben (who wrote them) has said that he was inspired by the death of his grandfather, whom he was very close to.

[@shawnannul]

It was even more haunting, because the video came out AFTER MTV News reported that Ben left. So, as a 15 year old, I thought this was his way of departing and her being hurt by it. Edit: I hadn't listened to the entire CD at this point, so forgive my ignorance as a 15 year old in the early 2000s.

[@knifesmith]

To reinforce the point, note that not once in the video do her feet ever touch earth. Even when she's walking, she's walking on the elevated rim of the fountain. In every other shot she's on an elevated surface (roof, car, phone box?, tree...)

[@sharielane]

This whole time I thought the song was about the girl being in a relationship with someone who has long since checked out from the relationship emotionally but not physically, and as such feels haunted by his continued presence of the lover he used to be.

[@VonOttoMusic]

​@@knifesmithI imagine her being the departed one, grieving her living man. She can't wipe away his tears anymore. She can see him but he can't see her...maybe I'm just high😂

[@FormalCooks]

After all of these years, still gives me the shivers!

[@jdspecht682]

If you don’t have some kind of visceral reaction to this song you are dead inside.

Kills me every time I hear it,a masterpiece!

[@johngoodson4642]

Amen! I love this song yet it also tears me up so bad knowing the true meaning of the song 😢

[@stuyrides5144]

I've been dead inside for years, because you don't know what I've seen and where I've been and I'm not going to cry for KZbin views......

[@OneFingerYT]

I suspect other people who are a bit dead inside have an even more visceral response.

[@paul-t-geist4245]

Played this at my granddaughters funeral, beautiful song brings me to tears. RIP my little princess xxx

[@jackiefax2315]

I saw Evanescence in Leeds, England a couple of years ago and she sang this just playing the piano. The audience was absolutely silent, she totally captivated the audience. Am-az-ing.

[@georgejcox9241]

This is came out 20 years ago and this video just shows us how much of A classic impact full song it is.

[@GabrielDeafBlindPupFamily]

The first time I heard this, my heart stopped ... This was my song to my deceased son. My last words to him "You are my life. I love you. You are my life." 40 minutes later, he was gone. This song resonates so deeply.

[@aliciadineen3441]

Still hits me hard, this came out originally when I was 18 years old. Imagine the teenage pain, to this. Her voice makes me cry.

[@xrey25]

I can usually handle one reaction at a time for this song but all of these at once had my crying. I loved this and sometimes a good cry is healing

[@DarrellFanning-bx7xz]

What a stunning song by a stunningly beautiful woman

[@callmefrog76]

I’m get jealous seeing when people get to hear such spectacular music for the first time. I wish I could bottle it up and sell it. It’s such an amazing feeling when you have a song speak to your soul

[@huettvideos]

Her voice always sends shivers through my entire body.

[@skildude]

I knew she was proffesionally trained the first time I heard her sing. This is what a real singer sounds like. Not that autotune crap.

[@LovelyBeachCoast-us1ec]

so true

[@richninety]

Even then, training only gets you so far, some talent just can’t be taught 🤩

[@JimmyLeeDragon]

She was trained beautiful voice and actually autotune came out 6 years before this, heard her live back then, didn't sound much different

[@zippaman100]

In an interview available on KZbin, she said that she did not have any vocal lessons/training. She had taken piano lessons for nine years. Pure. Raw. Talent.

[@xorderofchaosx]

ive been listening to this song for 20 years and it still makes me cry every time

[@Titokhan2]

her voice is enchanting.. she casts a vocal spell on you the first notes that leave her mouth and NEVER lets go.. that so many people are just hearing this now.. OVER TWENTY YEARS LATER, still baffles my mind.. kinda like the reactions to EVH's eruption masterclass solo or the Phil Collins's live version of in the air tonight Sorry I have to add that it STILL gets me in the feels.. and i've listened to it at least weekly since I discovered the band BEFORE Fallen was released

[@johngoodson4642]

I love this song so much when she sings it but it also tears me up knowing the true meaning of the song and how I directly relate to it 😢

[@DeAnne1233]

There couldn’t be a better band behind that voice. Just as powerful! 🫶🙌

[@BAMBEEZS1-gg7ef]

I cry every single time ... everything she does is stunning. Even the fiesty songs. Beautiful tone!

[@dyrtybarstud5261]

This song came out a few weeks after my first love was killed by a drunk driver on her hens night and captures the sheer devastation that overwhelmed me. I think i cried myself to sleep to this song for for about 18 months and it was my true companion through that very, very dark time. I am not sure where i might have ended up if i did not have this song that i could vent to quietly in the dark that so perfectly understood my loss, loneliness and emptiness.

[@stevebollocks]

@@dyrtybarstud5261 I'm sorry for your loss. Music is such a powerful and helpful tool when you go through a difficult time in your life. You just need the right music for the situation. One point in the life, the depression was trying to get a stronger hold on me and without help of the music, I would have done something terrible to end it.

[@DanielHarris-tq4px]

There are so many tears i see shed for this beauty of a song. She is an angel and we dont deserve her.

[@stevebollocks]

I saw notification about comment where user told that about listening mainly heavy stuff (mentioned Pantera, Sepultura etc) and sometimes listens Evanescence. Sadly the said user deleted the comment so I'll answer this way. Don't you ever be shamed about what you listen and don't limit yourself on just one genre. Be brave. Go outside of your comfort zone and explore different genres. You'll never know how awesome band or album you will find that widens your musical horizon and brings emotions to your listening experience.

[@TananJess]

Cemetery Gates is one to listen to.

[@dsherwood3889]

I agree, this old (58 f) metal, punk rocker has become a huge BTS fan over the last 2 years. You never know where you'll find that musical connection.

[@RodneySam-b7f]

I remember when this album and song was out. She has one of the best voices I've ever heard in Rock music. Her voice is so angelic and operatic. I can tell she has classical vocal training.

[@natetoopi567]

Such a powerful voice and one you can easily recognise.

[@MDSlatanica]

Such an emotional song about loss and the difficulty of letting go.

[@XllXJACKXllX]

This song always breaks me. My dad was never a father to me, my grandad raised me. When he died I lost a part or myself, this song is so emotional

[@ivanamendez478]

Evanescence has been making me cry since i was 15! I'm 37 now. Amy Lee is my favorite singer for all time.

[@undergroundjunction]

I've heard this song a thousand times... I cry every time. She is so beautiful... her voice is amazing. The production on this is also fantastic. For the longest time I always thought it was about a heavy break up... or somebody she loved passed away... Now I actually think I understand it... SHE is the one who died and she is holding on not necessarily knowing that she has passed. All the visual clues point me in that direction... Her appearance is flawless... She is dressed all in white and her clothes flow in the wind... She is always alone and when others are close they never seem to see her. Her "boyfriend" or "lover" is the guy playing the piano... black suit and tie looking devastated I could go on but maybe you can feel me on this...

[@monicabang_]

How is your channel not bigger!?!?! These Supercuts are fantastic... I've been watching this playlist you made all night! I chose to comment on this particular video because this is one of my favorite songs. Evanescence is amazing. You also did Butterfly! I love that you did that one... (RIP Shifty) 😢 I was watching the Drumeo of Chad Smith for the millionth time, (I'm obsessed) and KZbin recommended your video right under it. You clearly put a lot of work in to your videos and I'm very impressed. Looking forward to what you do in the future!

[@stevebollocks]

@@monicabang_ Thanks. It's partly youtube algorithm and I only had like 25 subscribers when I did the first Supercut on a whim seven months ago. So I started at very bottom of the youtube food chain when the views started rolling in. Yesterday I checked some stats on my channel, I still have steady grow on subscribers so either this will blow up at some point or not but I'm still happy for the content I have uploaded even if nobody watches it. And I'm doing this editing on my free time and it's just a fun hobby for me so I'm not really interested promoting my content on social media. I firmly believe that good content always find its viewers.

[@tonyhanley9458]

This song is unforgettable- her voice is amazing, even if you don’t understand every word. Every woman watching this from the KZbinrs were really touched. I cried when I first heard it. And I’m a male.

[@shawnannul]

So when I was a kid, I used to watch the music videos on MTV while getting ready for school. I was already a fan of Evanescence because of Bring Me to Life and Going Under. I heard the song start and RAN to my room and was GLUED to the screen!(Remember, the original CD didn't have the band on this track.) Then I walked to school. There was this Goth girl who went to my school and would hang out by the same tree with me and a few other friends. It was like the start of winter or something. We just stared at each other like, "Did you see that, too? What the hell was that?" It was just stuck in my head all day. We just kept looking at each other throughout the day, thinking that was definitely a game changer.

[@stevebollocks]

[@WrenchS13]

the raw power of Amy Lee. I've been a huge fan since I first heard her on the Evanescence Fallen album when it dropped. her voice is so captivating. in my opinion, she is in the top 3 vocalists of the symphonic metal genre. Amy, Floor Jansen, and Tarja Turunen. round out the top 5 with Christina Scabbia and Simone Simons. Its hard to put them in order but Floor would be number 1 for me.

[@Spyrit2011]

The original version of this song did not have the metal music part. That part was added when it was made into a video. She was playing a ghost as her feet never touched the ground, this song was for her sister who passed away.

It's a ghost story. Her lover died, and his ghost haunts her. Some people say she's the ghost, but, IMO, Ben Moody is the lover in this video, in a suit, like a deceased, and he is the ghost in this context.

Amy Lee is amazing. She has had a fairly public struggle with bipolar. Lithium is the best medication I have taken to control the low"black" moods. But at the same time it destroys the highs as well. The struggle is when we lose those highs creativity becomes a struggle and you wind up frustrated and wishing there was another way to not slip into the blacks. I am afraid of when it stops working for me.
