The Ultimate Breakup Anthem? Evanescence's "Call Me When You're Sober" Vocal ANALYSIS

I adore Amy Lee. Not only is she a brilliantly talented and emotion eliciting singer, she's just such an inspiration. So to hear that this song helped singer Shaun Morgan of Seether check into rehab after releasing it, I knew I needed to analyze it. Music is such a powerful motivator, and Amy Lee can show us why.
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Evanescence performing "Call Me When You're Sober" for the first time.

[@notyoaveragesouthernmama5734]

Ok now we need to do a Tea Time with Amy. I’m sure she would be down for it since she’s done a lot of radio shows and other podcasts these days. So glad you are doing the Open Door!! Lacrymosa, given your classical background, would be an interesting next step, but Lithium is a must do.

[@belindavanzyl6685]

YEA! Plus she could probably get in contact with amy pretty easily cause she can did a tea time with lzzy from halestorm

[@tonyl9404]

Yes! Please!

[@Wilson-7676]

Ohh I would love to see Tea Time with Amy.

[@aps5150]

That would be GREAT.

[@ElizabethRodriguez-zd3rs]

I love that song for its classical vibe

[@le_potate3861]

Lithium please!!! I really think this is her best vocal performance.

[@pyro4squirrel]

Lithium was her best but now I think Good Enough is better

[@adrianaa2767]

elizabeth is gonna love lithium, agree that it is one of Amy Lee's best

[@libbybaker86]

Lithium is so beautiful ❤️

[@Kelly30stm]

Please do lithium!

[@stratomix333]

Yep, Lithium is probably her best ever.

[@Ascawien]

"Good Enough". Amy's vocals are just peerless in this song, would love to see you cover it.

[@Dreron]

Allways makes me think of my son and daugther.

[@mirandamcafee6024]

Yes yes yes. Good enough is so fantastic

[@kenwood82]

Love that song!!!!

[@drej1714]

Y favorite Evanescence song from that album. They also used the song in an episode of CSI

[@heffatheanimal2200]

Absolutely! Good Enough and Call Me When You're Sober so made me fall head-over-heels with Amy

[@flyflorida2001]

Their entire Synthesis album is recorded with a full orchestra and is AMAZING! With your classical background you would LOVE it

[@hannahremmel9550]

I’m from Little Rock and so she was always easy to see live before she became mega famous. I had to drive five hours to see this concert and it was easily the best live I’ve heard from her.

[@egmccann]

Not to mention the "Bring me to life" without the corporate mandated "We need a guy singing something in here." Very different feel.

[@mosemister]

Lost in paradise from that album is really something else

[@zackstrong8034]

As someone classically trained, I think you would enjoy Amy's rendition of Lacrymosa. It's one of my favorite Evanescence songs.

[@YuniLenne]

Yes! Yes!

[@brandischultz1131]

This one for sure!!!! Please do!!!!

[@alteromihi]

One of the top two pop songs ever to sample Mozart's Requiem (the other I can think of being Ludacris' Comin' 2 America)

[@hannahremmel9550]

I’ve been screaming about this for years. I only wish there was a live performance with the choir or even music video. That’s one of the most slept on songs of her career. You have to be such a choir nerd to understand how cool it is. Not my favorite requiem, but it’s definitely up there.

[@johnrobert493]

That whole album is insane

[@joenobody5631]

Nothing vague or open to interpretation about these lyrics. She's coming right down Main Street with this one and smacking you right between the eyes. Incredible song. Incredible singer.

[@damienmaynard8892]

between the eyes or lower!? OUCH!

[@andyschnell58]

Oh how I wish I could travel to Canada to see Evanescence, Halestorm and The Warning ON THE SAME BILL, later this month. Top tier women who rock concert!!!! 💯💥

[@rockero1313]

I'm still waiting for her to check out The Warning

[@FreeSpeech4All]

​​@@rockero1313 She already did. That's how I got introduced to them. She's done both "Choke" and "Evolve".

[@my_own_pace]

I was wishing the same thing! After she posted “Evolve” I have been in love with The Warning! Watching and listening to everything they do and a chance to see Halestorm and Evanescence with them would 🤯 mind blowing

[@AIRDRAC]

Amazing! Now we just need "Everybody's Fool", and you've covered every single of my favorite Evanescence songs that has a music video! Thank you so much for covering this, and also for giving praise to the fantastic contribution from rest of the band, despite Amy's absolutely haunting vocals!

[@bikwah90]

"Breakdown" by Seether is a good follow-up to this. Shaun Morgan has stated that it's *not* about Amy Lee, but it is a great song.

[@DLeRoux]

And I wish that people understood how much she lied. Saw it first hand.

[@RustbustersCA]

i prefer "Fake it"

[@the_eaglefan]

I prefer No Jesus Christ, perfect breakup song for the situation.

[@scerpian6478]

he *has* stated it's at least partially about her and their relationship

[@doofinator4285]

Upvote but I think he was just trying to keep it classy, to a degree. He stated it was part of it but didn’t want to hang it all on her. Breakdown Fake It No Jesus Christ All good recommendations in this thread. I approve. Also a big fan of Eyes of the Devil.

[@HiFiListener]

Simply my favourite song by Evanescence. Doesn't matter what the song is about, I can listen and enjoy it, even if it doesn't compare to my personal situation and feelings.

[@Tapac78]

My Immortal is definitely worth listen. Will leave you in tears. And since you are doing a female vocalist - i know it's not rock BUT Alanis Morrisette Uninvited gives me the chills everytime I hear it. Her vocals on that are one of a kind

[@belindavanzyl6685]

She already did a breakdown of my immortal a while ago

[@adamwhite3811]

uninvited, but the unplugged version, it is unbelievably good!!

[@LucasSantos-ef5cg]

Oh, I’ve always wanted her to check on Alanis! Uninvited is right at her lane with the big orchestra and haunting vibe, I think she would love it!

[@hannahremmel9550]

Holy shit, yes.

[@samhell2492]

Have to admit, it's one of those songs that you have to fight the tears. Very emotional song

[@samuelmiddleton7876]

"The Only One" is literally one of ( if not ) my favorite tracks from Evanescence. It is so incredibly underrated and awesome.

[@Ravenwish1990]

Had the incredible chance to see Evanescence live. Amy Lee is simply breathtaking. I couldn't get enough of the concert, wanted to go see more.

[@kim_2918_]

You NEED to listen to Evanescence’s Synthesis album! I was fortunate enough to catch Amy Lee perform with a full orchestra promoting this album. “End of the Dream” synthesis version is my favorite ❤️

[@flyflorida2001]

It’s an AMAZING album, start to finish!!

[@rabeksmom]

This whole album was a masterpiece. Really. Not one bad song on it. "Your Star" is one of my favorites for combining great vocals and classical infused rock (Amy called it "classical sauce" in an interview). And "Good Enough" is just Amy and the piano. It's all so good!

[@bobsmith613]

I've listened to this song for decades, and I STILL get full body chills every time I hear it. The message, and the music are powerful enough on their own; but the video is pure genius!

[@matthewcioffi6385]

The giggle at the end is one of my favorite parts of the song, oddly enough. Something seems so real about it.

[@Shortlovey]

YES!!! I am ALWAYS up for you doing anything Evanescence/Amy 💜

[@le_potate3861]

@@Shortlovey fun fact: Amy Lee has an entire album of children's songs.

[@christopher9076]

I'd like to see you react to Hello. It's not a song that gets played a lot (very personal song for Amy, and she said she will never sing it live) but her voice is incredible in that song.

[@genny5309]

That one always make me tear up. So emotional and powerful. I played it over and over when I first bought the album.

[@vicariousu9048]

I strongly recommend "Good Enough". One of their lesser known songs, but it's truly wonderful

[@terryc7142]

Her performance of Hello is by far my favorite thing Amy has ever done. Highly recommend!

[@JeffOfTheMountains]

GREAT choice. If I recall, this is right after Amy Lee broke up with Shaun Morgan of Seether.

[@0Onyx13]

You are correct, the whole album was pretty much about that but this is the most obvious example

[@MrDoubled0000]

Most definitely

[@JP47471]

uh yeah the song is about him, obviously

[@WillsonT011]

😁I love Shaun response with the song "BreakDown". With his head as a rubix cube because Amy plays alot head games😮😮😮😮

[@101Mant]

​@@WillsonT011did he say she plays head games or is it just what you infer from the video?

[@keithrussell6766]

QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE

[@LostHate]

Oh, I've been hoping for this one. Should be a good video.

[@ThisUsernameIsAlreadyInUse]

Brushing up your Evanescence, eh? 😄

[@UnderappreciatedFemaleArtists]

Finally a song from the Open Door 😫

[@gwooledge]

That entire album is fire, seriously. I think there's only one song on it that I don't absolutely love.

[@libbybaker86]

Love this album and was listening today whilst working from home

[@fOrGiiVeMe]

All that Im living for, Lacrymosa, Sweet Sacrifice, Your star... ❤❤❤❤

[@phantomf4747]

The impact of this video is not only aural, but visual and emotional just the way the song was written. She's AMAZING.

[@KiltieMacBagpipes]

God, I'm so glad to see someone react to this that actually notices all the awesome subtleties of it.

[@jeremyhamill6614]

Looking forward to this and hopefully more Seether!!

[@nopsychedelic]

“Speak to me” is an AMAZING song she sounds like heaven!

[@bretbret5221]

I highly recommend reacting to Apocalyptica - 'Bittersweet' feat. Lauri Ylönen & Ville Valo The stark contrast between Ville's and Lauri's voices is unbelievable yet they fit so well and sound beautiful together!

[@drewstar7116]

Yes please

[@braverleonheart5035]

Oh man this would make for such an interesting analysis. And I’m not sure she’s reacted to either of their voices before either.

[@sirenblue5356]

This!

[@Fallenroyalty3032-e2e]

YES! then go down the rabbit hole that is HIM and the Rasmus

[@camillamarie852]

You should react to Hello. It's one of their saddest songs, and it's one that really showcases her range, but it's always ignored by reactors because it's criminally underrated and not as popular as some of their other songs.

[@hannahremmel9550]

It’s also because she never does it live. Unless I’ve missed it.

[@WildsomeBrat]

OMG I can’t believe you haven’t explored Amy Lee extensively yet! She’s not a screamer but her harmonies and vocals though are just… *chefs kiss*

[@Dragonthrulife]

This is the 5th song she's done with Amy Lee.

[@WildsomeBrat]

@@Dragonthrulife ok, I thought so, and realised that after a while. 😅

[@Dragonthrulife]

@WildsomeBrat she's definitely spaced it out enough that it's easy to forget. Still so much more to explore too.

[@davidriddick82]

TEA TIME WITH AMY LEE!! Oh my god that would be a dream and something I need in my life ❤️ I recommend LOST IN PARADISE, the vocals with the piano in that song will send you to the moon and beyond

[@starlight55971]

Loved seeing this song analyzed. She gets me every time on this one, especially with the key change up near the end. How COULD I? You were never mine! Awesome.

[@EbonieBlackforest]

When this came out, I remember I read about how when she 'flies' the harness bruised her ribs. Also, those are wolves. The sheer production value of this MV is incredible.

[@mattdranchak8]

I’m so happy you caught Amy’s lyric change at the very end. So many people miss it and it was so prophetic of you in saying just before sometimes you have to love someone (and yourself) enough to know you have to let them go

[@LucasSantos-ef5cg]

Amazing reaction as usual Elizabeth! I love this song so much, might be my favorite from them besides My Immortal for all the reasons you have just pointed out. I would also like to suggest you to check out Alanis Morissette, as you have been reacting to woman in rock and she’s a big part of it. She has got some great hits, I’d particularly like you to check on You Oughtta Know (another breakup anthem!) and Uninvited (which I think you would completely love because of the orchestra and haunting vibes)

[@PaulaDeitch]

The song that turned me on to this band.iam not a fan of all their music but I adore Amy's voice in general and I love this song!

[@abpob6052]

Experiencing artists when they are at their peak is always a treat especially if you get to see them live.

[@aafpeptoe4209]

Nailed it !

[@laurieemme1534]

SEETHER - "Tonight" (one of my favorites) but there are many others: "Remedy", "Fake It", "Rise Above This", etc. 🙂

[@adamwhite3811]

Plastic man, driven under, sympathetic, there are just so so many. Again, I wish more reactions to live singing instead of the recorded versions were done. One cold night has some great versions of their songs

[@Rockachyk1715]

Amy Lee has been an integral part of my life, through every kind of heartbreak I've ever experienced. I've been listening to her since middle school (I'm 32 now)and to hear somebody break her music down more to an even deeper level, Between technique and admiration for the emotional aspect of her music makes me emotional. I feel like she captures pain in such a beautiful way that it's easy to digest like medicine. It just makes me love Evanescence and Amy Lee just so much more. I've listened and sang my heart out to every song on every album and also the little secret songs she's released and I just thoroughly appreciate every little bit of it. She sings with so much emotion and is such a powerhouse. As for a song, if you should analyze next, I would recommend Whisper From her Fallen album. I'm interested on hearing the feedback on her techniques as well as the emotional value of the song.

[@gohogdog2]

I’ve been waiting for you to do this one!!! I’ve seen several reactions to this video, but I knew none would compare to yours…..and I was not disappointed!

[@thomasnovak9119]

Great Choice, I along with many others recommended this one after the last Amy Lee song you did. You're gonna love it.

[@jaybuffie9624]

I wondered if you would ever do this song considering the other ones you've done of theirs. This is one of my favorite ones, simply due to the all around pleasing sounds. The lyrics are not positive, but her voice and music cause it to be so amazing that it actually heightens the message itself. Very good song.

[@cmondevils]

'Understanding' is my favourite song by Evanesence. It was an unreleased song but it's brilliant the narration through fits perfectly

[@SadMangaGirl]

Amy is one of my favourite female singers. Her voice is hypnotic for me.

[@lpsoldier2920]

Avenged sevenfold afterlife live lbc. Shadows voice was fenomenal he was pushing it to the edge. You’ll love it

[@michaelmurphy8792]

My favorite song from the open door followed by lithium.❤❤

[@ImSoUnhood]

Eeeee this is my favorite Evanescence song! I am so glad you covered it!

[@sachalessdarktide9813]

This song was my introduction to Evanescence. My son had me listen to it when my husband (after getting kicked out of the home) kept calling me drunk on almost a nightly basis. The next time he called I sang it to him instead of just saying it. Told (begged) him to get some help. He never did. 9 months later I got into a wonderful relationship and he and I are still together 17 years later. (also have listened to all the Evanescence I can. I just love this group. They mean so much to me. Thank you for reviewing and analyzing this.

[@darkannemette]

"Speak to me" by her is also a wonderful piece that always make me cry

[@officialHEL]

I bet there were too many mentions of this song in Broken comments section for Elizabeth to get curious. Since we already covered finger-pointing, let's skip who's to blame and just enjoy this song. I wonder if Elizabeth noticed that unlike in any other Evanescence song, harmonies here are done by Amy's sisters Carrie and Lori. They also helped record Amy's album for kids Dream Too Much. Premiers in 13 hours 😵‍💫

[@hannahremmel9550]

I WAS WONDERING WHEN SOMEONE WOULD MENTION THIS!!! I sang in all region with Lorri. She’s a couple years younger than I am. Little Rock is definitely Little. And Dream Too Much is awesome.

[@vl0pez206]

The whole album "The open door" is so good! One of my top 5 ever. So all songs are going to be a treat to listen to but please do Lithium or Lacrymosa 🖤🖤

[@mikelafaille]

It's important to note that the harmonics or "doubling" are not actually Amy being duplicated and tacked on via overlay. Those vocals are her sisters, Lori and Carrie. This is one of the few unique songs where they sing the harmonics with Amy.

[@Pickledwitch]

I must have heard this song HUNDREDS of times, without fail I get goosebumps still

[@SNDLKaraoke]

Been watching your videos for so long, but it still feels me with joy watching your face light up at parts in songs.

[@fernandagraciolli5572]

Love every Evanescence analysis!! Little different than your usual, but have you heard Alanis Morissette's Uninvited? It's got really interesting vocals and instrumentals. Very unique song.

[@jonfazzone5125]

Amy Lee’s Powerhouse Vocals Featured in this Song. Her Voice is Hauntingly Angelic Another Female with Powerhouse Vocals is Dorothy Especially on the Song What’s Coming to Me” Unplugged or the Dorothy song “Rest In Peace”.

[@aflood3446]

I love how excited you get the first time you hear something... it's adorable

[@Sassy_Kat]

I just had the time to watch your reaction. I absolutely loved seeing it. I knew after your other reactions to Amy Lee’s voice that you would love this song and was SO excited anticipating when you would see it. Thank you, for a great reaction. 😊💖💐

[@TheMadWookiee]

Out of all the recent bands evanescence's and Amys voice is one of my favorites she has so much going on lyrically and sonically. she can at times have a hunting quality to a beautiful sound and almost any ware in between. lithium is a pleas do for us in the audience.

[@kevincunningham74]

I’m late to this, but… “The Last Song I’m Wasting On You”. PLEASE. From the first breath to the final breath, I think you will find this song an absolutely fascinating performance that will either bring you to goosebumps or draw out some tears. When you hit that third “Run!” in the song you will be absolutely overwhelmed. You talked about bringing an emotion to a performance…this song can not be done without it. It’s not-traditional in its structure but it just absolutely works. I know that the song is not a big single, it doesn’t have a music video, and it’s outside the pop culture zeitgeist beyond the hardest of hardcore Evanesence fans. But even if it won’t bring in the views, it’ll be such a fascinating listen for you, and the analysis will be fascinating to us. Thank you!!!

[@jasonrichardson1208]

This ☝️

[@oshow1412]

Should give here "Speak to Me" solo a listen. I'm always listening immediately when i see Amy Lee

[@rockwithjerry]

Her message came through loud and clear! It's too bad it didn't work out for them! He's pretty amazing also!

[@winterwolfcr7]

This song and the Seether one take me back to my teens so much lol Amy Lee has always been such a phenomenal singer and artist. I'm so happy for you to go on a journey of her amazing music. Edit: This was early 00s. So definitely before the TV show for Game of Thrones lol

[@wallywest2360]

The entire album this song is from is just fantastic. The band, production, and of course Amy's voice just line up perfectly. I still listen it frequently.

[@altennent156]

Amy's amazing, as they all are!! Saw them live in 2022.

[@ericflick5697]

Rare chance to catch a premier and with my fav singer to boot! Been 20 years of enjoying Amy's vocals :). Thanks for the reaction to my favorite singer Elizabeth! A recommendation on operatic style that was just released I would check out Xandria no time to live forever. If you have not listened to it think you will appreciate it.

[@jeffstevens4262]

Love the 'Little Red Riding Hood' vibes. So cool...

[@sinnyozzy]

Amy's live Nobel Peace Prize performance of Lost in Paradise is incredible, you should check that out.

[@ysinvangulik1004]

Yes indeed, incredible song incredible live performance.

[@briarrose7016]

Yes, finally! This is my go to karaoke song and definitely my top 3 Evanescence songs. Amy does this so well live too. Also that guy in the music video is a babe. I'm glad you're doing more Amy videos, to me she has the best vocals of any female rock artist. She should have won so many awards.

[@markkappe1995]

The combination of Amy's voice and the heavy guitars, seen so profoundly here, was what attracted me to Evanescence in the first place. Only getting two albums of that mix was just criminal.

[@MichaelCarney-y6n]

Great evanescence, call me when your sober. Love it so much.

[@waynebenedict5785]

I've had the pleasure of hearing Amy Lee live, and she is just incredible in person! I wanted to hear her sing to see if she could indeed be that impressive live, and the answer is indeed she is! One of the best voice in rock ever!

[@danam.5127]

I agree with other commenters that "Everybody's Fool" and "Lithium" would be awesome songs to analyze next! Also songs from her "Synthesis" album! The entire "Fallen" album was so influential in my teen years. It came out in 2003, and the Game of Thrones show came out in 2011. The book came out in 1996, but I'm not sure when it became popular. Now I need to listen to Fallen again!

[@brianware8934]

Suggestion: Red Handed Denial - “Father Said” (Lauren Babic live one take performance) amazing performance by an even more amazing artist.

[@jezzibooker]

The giggle is the best part. Hands down.

[@Cadinho93]

Amy Lee was in a relationship with the lead singer Shaun Morgan from the band Seether from 2003 to 2005. After their separation due to his addiction to substances, she wrote "Call Me When Your Sober" about him. Also, her voice is so haunting, yet dreamy. Excited to hear your breakdown of the production, lyrics and everything! Always so enlightening. Thank you for everything you do!

[@mx.horrorwood5003]

to add on, Seether's song "Breakdown" is believed to be a response to this song and about Shaun's perspective on the relationship

[@EchoesDaBear]

Great reaction Elizabeth!! Had the wonderful fortune to see Evanescence open for Muse on their last tour here in Toronto - what a one-two punch of heavy, awesome music!! Amy's voice sounded as strong and powerful as it does here!! The new album is something to behold as well - highly recommend checking it if you haven't. This song live was incredible! Cheers from Canada, eh!

[@Silieol_Nails]

There's a really good behind the scenes making of video about this song that's worth a watch. Really hope you do more of The Open Door, such a great album. Would also love to see your analysis of Wasted On You, there's a string sessions version with Lindsay Stirling that is absolutely beautiful.

[@lewyocom4724]

I could listen to that song on repeat for hours, and the laugh at the end hooks me every time.

[@kenzieblye4939]

Hey Elizabeth, you really need to check out the band InThis Moment, Maria Brink is a real force of nature. Thanks for everything you do, you are a true gem!

[@TheSpartanfan84]

The last shot at the end when she is smiling, I remember I had a pic of that on my MySpace page. Good memories

[@WillsonT011]

Happy birthday too mee 🥳 such a good song, Amy singing with her whole chest in this one, always 💜

[@jdbly5934]

Until addressed, addiction always wins. Those without addictive personalities can never understand what it's like to want, more than anything, to stop being addicted but simply can't. Those with addictive personalities can't simply explain what's going on in their heads...they are totally aware of what's happening around them and the destruction they're causing, but the sickness doesn't care at all for anything other than being satisfied.

[@TheErikBallew]

It just popped into my head, that I've been in love with Amy Lee for like 30 years now!! Where did all that time go?!?!

[@WIG1276]

16:45 is the moment when I first listened to this song that I fell in love with Amy Lee. Her voice is soooooo amazing, the sustained notes. Goosebumps!

[@MichaelLabriola-f8s]

Great job as usual Liz. My favorite Amy performance is " "My heart is broken." I am enjoying your videos and performances more than anything on you tube.❤

[@Relvamon]

NO FUCKIN WAY! I've been looping this song over and over for weeks and had no idea why I craved it! So rare to have songs as good as this move you when it debuted, with lots of buffering as I was downloading it

[@Tinkerbell9332]

Ohhhhhh Evanescence!!!! One of my favorite bands! Incredible album! Love Lithium too!

[@bobbycollins6783]

"My heart is broken" Best song Greatest vocal performance best video. Emotion off the scale. And a brilliant piano part. Amy is the best. When she sings the word broken it's breathtaking.

[@ZincMaster]

holy shit i was just looking for the last evanescence & charismaric video which was going under and THIS is tomorrow

[@alexhazlett9587]

There are few songs that have me heartfelt singing along, stabbing pointing fingers and throwing the bird as I sing along. I love this song. This is a GREAT song to sing along to in the car, belting along with all the emotion.

[@dimelives1]

You've got to check out their video for the song "Imperfection". Powerful message and performance.

[@Darkswordz]

Please do "Good Enough" next. I think it's her best vocal performance in a song.

[@wildlyawakened]

Im a singer and Amy Lee has been my biggest musical inspiration since i was in high school. Her voice is just magical! If i could suggest my favorite Evanescence songs. My first would be "Good Enough", second would be "End of the Dream"(from thr Synthesis album), and "Sweet Sacrifice". "My Heart is Broken" is my absolute favorite but i believe you reacted to it! If not, do it now!!

[@aafpeptoe4209]

Good choices!

[@andrayellowpenguin]

I think my favorite Evanescence song will always be Imaginary, because i rezonate so much with the lyrics. But the "enough us enough" vibe in this one is just so precious! I think it came out when i was feeling about the same way about my avoidant attachment boyfriend, and having finally "made up his mind", as it were. I remember feeling heard when i listened to this song.

[@mara.luthien]

INVENT ANIMATE - WITHOUT A WHISPER !!! hes incredible omg, the regular and reimagined versions are just pure bliss, id love love love to see a vocal anaylsis on one of these versions

[@LokRevenant]

Good Enough is my favorite Evanescence song, but I also ADORE "Hello." There's a moment at the end of Hello that BLOWS MY MIND every. single. time.
