"Going Under" again with Evanescence! Vocal ANALYSIS of some more Amy Lee!

[@KARAAGE-METAL]

“Fallen” in its entirety needs a vocal analysis. Still an amazing album after 20 years.

[@jb7753]

The album takes me back to a great time in my life. I was 20yrs old when this came out... now 40, with a family and a business to run.

[@TheVampireFreddo]

I still think “Hello” is one of their most under rated songs. Her range in that one is insane!

Missing is also insane. Amy is incredible and love all her songs. When her Fallen album came out I had a CD Walkman and cried when my CD Walkman broke I went through 4 until iPods came out. This album has no skips. Whispers is insanely beautiful. Haunting is this genre.

[@seancurtis1199]

You would definitely enjoy "Lithium"

[@libbybaker86]

My absolute favourite and what I think is her most haunting song

[@ThaleasQael]

Definitely one of their best songs, would be so cool to see a reaction!

Well that song is by seether featuring Amy Lee live(Pepsi smash) 2004 I think! Great song all and all!

[@xhaleyxx]

Absolutely, their voices go together so well on that song. One of my favorite duets ever.

[@TheTruePhoenixAU]

The song is by the band Seether. She was dating the lead singer (Shaun Morgan Welgemoed). They then had a messy break up. "Fake It" is the song he wrote about her, and "Call me when you're Sober" is the song she wrote about him :)

[@essac1]

yes!! It will be the best way for her to get introduced to seether and then she will want to check out more of their songs !!!!

“Imaginary” always struck the deepest chord for me, personally.

Of all of her songs, "My Heart is Broken" I think really embraces her voice with the piano. I love that song so much because of her singing it. Her voice is amazing.

[@joshromanik4056]

I highly recommend "Hello" or "Good Enough" she absolutely floors me with those 2. It's crystalline and ethereal.

[@KainzMusic]

Amy Lee is a far greater songwriter than people tend to give her credit for. Couple that with an amazing voice and you get the powerhouse all around musician she's been from the start.

[@PittDaddy]

Amy Lee was so different from anything that was on the radio when Evanescence first appeared. I remember being fascinated by the beauty of her voice. It wasn't until I was introduced to symphonic metal that I realized how truly special she is. Thanks for this one Elizabeth!

[@nortski78]

I just love how Amy's classical voice blends so well with the grungy guitars, gives it a real gothic feel to it.

[@dsmiley53]

100%. She was my gateway drug over to symphonic metal 😊

[@ItsShatter]

The timbre of her voice is incredible, like you said balanced. If I had to describe it I would say her voice sounds like it is balanced on a razor edge. So consistent, sharp, and smooth.

[@pokerfacevinny]

Amy Lee's most incredible vocal range I'd have to say is Sweet sacrifice, it's a must listen. And shout out to all of Elizabeth's unknowingly making Evanescence references, "whisper", "haunted" etc

[@bvierasan]

Oh, yes!!! Her work in Sweet Sacrifice is amazing!

[@nissan300zxmike]

In the music video of Sweet Sacrifice @ 42 secs she does a Siren's Call. She hits the high and melancholy notes and holds it.

[@ronaldmorgan7632]

Yep. I recommend that one as often as possible.

[@samanthas2280]

I took noticed that those were also song titles.

[@steffanixoom]

I was giggling at all the unintentional song titles lol

[@benketteridge9150]

I love the way Amy's bell-like tone both floats above and pierces through the instruments. Wonderful production, IMO.

[@MST3KNJ]

You could do a deep dive on every song on this album. Even songs that never made the radio like "Hello" or "Imaginary" are just audio smorgasbords.

[@JacobMinger]

The “Fallen” Album is one of my favorite albums of all time. So much that I bought it on vinyl twice.

[@RoseForEverafter]

So true. Fallen is one of those albums that will go down in musical history.

[@genny5309]

Talking about haunting… “Hello” is such a haunting song.

[@derman1907]

"Tourniquet" is my favorite song on the album, but the funny thing is, it’s not entirely an Evanescence original. It’s a partial cover of "My Tourniquet" by Soul Embraced, Rocky Gray’s death metal band. The original didn’t have the same second verse, Amy wrote this one.

[@dsmiley53]

I listened to a ton of Evanescence in college. They got paired with Lincoln Park a lot in my dorm in 2002 (we had a weird section 🤣). I haven't listened to Evanescence in a while, but I always remembered Amy Lee's voice. It's such a magical, golden voice. It was my gateway drug to symphonic metal, so to speak. Also, she's doing that piano herself. Multi-talented. One funny thing I took from this: I must have listened to this song 50 times and I always thought the line in the pre-chorus was "I...dive again" and not "I'm...dying again". Which made sense in my brain because "dive" goes with "going under" and the imagery of diving into water in the video. Crazy that I've had this line wrong in my head for over 20 years!

[@deathtrap_99derp41]

Lp and evanescence go well together

[@NekoNekoMe123]

[@htt232101]

As a teenager, the first time I heard her voice I fell in love. She just had something I'd never heard before in this type of music. I love the Wilson Sisters and Stevie Nicks and all the great female leads, but Amy Lee just made me feel like she was singing to me.....just beautifully amongst the chaos

[@davidkerr2830]

As someone with no vocal talent who has a strong appreciation for incredible vocals thank you for helping me to understand why I love so many vocal lines so much. Articulate and informative

[@Cadinho93]

Amy Lee has one of the most amazing voices ever and she's gorgeous as well. I'm glad you're listening to this song and giving your take on it. Also, "Going Under" was one of the outrageously best songs of the early 2000s.

[@miamiman24]

Yeah very underrated. Her singing voice but while other women singers through time were noticed for their beauty with their singing. I think she was do damn pretty, I think she had striking beautiful eyes

[@auradmg]

I love Amy's vocal clarity, she was one of the first singers when I started really paying attention to music, who didn't use a lot of vibrato and had super stable sustain. Then literally as I was typing this you specifically mentioned stability and sustain :D Her vibrato is used very specifically on individual notes and syllables, excellent control.

[@unraveling-8]

Highly recommend analyzing one of Evanescence’s live videos from their Synthesis tour. Amy’s voice sounded so strong and the backdrop of the orchestra was just beautiful.

[@jeancoc93]

And Amy's voice sounds more mature and developed. End of a dream from the Synthesis concert is a chill inducing song and helps to appreciate her journey.

[@fuzzlyzoo8630]

Absolutely need an analysis from Synthesis with the orchestra. The End of The Dream is haunting, but honestly I don't think there's a wrong choice, they're all so good

[@EDuGoIHuvvet]

I LOVE how music kinda stores itself in another memory bank. Because I had 100% forgotten about this song, but the moment I saw the title, the whole thing just came rushing back. Seriously word for word, as if it wasn't 10 years ago that I last heard it. It's so cool!

[@DarkVelizar]

I remember this song fondly. It used to be a huge hit on MTv back in 2004, and one day I was sick, so I stayed all day in bed, and was only watching MTV hoping this song would pop up. That day, it emitted like more than 5 times. What a day it was for me

[@Abbym22]

I think the self-titled album is underrated... It's very good, Never go back is my favorite...

[@rickcole349]

I saw Evanescence open for Muse last year. Amy Lee was amazing. There were two young women (early twenties) a couple of rows in front of me. They were super excited to be there. They sang along and danced for the entire set. I wished I was thirty years younger so I could join them. It amazes me when young people get off on music that was released decades ago.

[@ronaldmorgan7632]

I saw Plush first, then Halestorm, then Evanescence as EV was promoting their last album.

It would be awesome if she ventures into her other albums like The Open Door with songs like "Lithium" and "Your Star." Or even the comparison of Fallen album with Synthesis.

[@texasnewt]

Lithium and Everybody's Fool are thematic complements, profoundly moving performances The lyrics touch the soul.

Everytime I hear Amy's voice it just unlocks all the feels from my teenage years. Amy is iconic, this woman could own any genre of music.

[@James-gm9cs]

I really like one of the small details at the beginning where she sings 'I'm going under' in the background. An effect is applied to make it sound like she's gargling, like drowning under water, to fit the theme of the song.

[@bobbycollins6783]

Amy Lee is a rock Goddess 'nuf said. One of my favorite songs is "My heart is broken" the vocal on this song is total 🔥. The emotion is off the scale. And the in the video she uses her whole body to express the emotion. Most people seem to have forgotten this one. But it will always be one of the best performances by Amy. Watched it many times. And still feel the same way.

[@larrylindgren9484]

The belt at the near the end is insane. I've said it before those vocal cords should be gold plated. About every ten to fifteen year, you get someone who just special. Amy is one of them. Linda was one. LeAnn was another. There are a few more of course. But those 3 voices are special. You can't teach it. You just have it.

[@derman1907]

Evanescence was, by far, the most influential band for my musical tastes. Before Tarja, Floor, Sharon, etc., there was Amy Lee. Evanescence still sounds amazing and their older music holds up incredibly well.

[@25Dzone]

She's a generational talent - I cannot believe how good her voice is and I cannot believe how amazing Elizabeth is at these reactions!

[@5swans]

Amy's songs were my "support" during the breakup of my abusive marriage. Her words and emotion spoke to me and for me. She and this era of Evanescence helped me see, accept, and over-come so much.

"Everybody's Fool" is one of the best videos from that era, and a great song on top of that.

[@Deplorable_Garbage]

[@notyoaveragesouthernmama5734]

So hyped for this and returning back to Evanescence!!! The craziest thing about all these songs is that not only is Amy's voice amazing but this song is the perfect example of Amy's songwriting talent, as she is the primary songwriter of all of her music. Going Under, Imaginary, and Tourniquet will always be my favorite songs from Fallen. They exemplify Evanescence's sound and Amy's voice perfectly. Hopefully Elizabeth checks out some songs from the Open Door too 🤘

[@Hipp0campus_1]

The more "metal" songs had a lot of songwriting influence from Ben too! That's why this dropped out on later albums. And Tourniquet (probably my fav song from Fallen) even has writing credits from their drummer at that time Rocky.

Amy Lee is an absolute LEGEND of the 2000's. You couldn't go anywhere without hearing her voice. It's so unique and piercing and haunting that you can't confuse her with anyone else. I used to think that her vocals were highly studio altered until I had the opportunity to meet her during a concert in Indianapolis while she was warming up. I can vouch that absolutely that is EXACTLY what she sounds like live. There is no strain or wobble in her voice AT ALL. She can easily shatter glass - did it as a party trick during the meet & greet on her first go. Crazy talented.

[@luziel3071]

Her voice was autotuned on Fallen because the label insisted on it. So she sang her heart out on The Open Door to prove that is was completely unnecessary

[@bennettk90]

Amy Lee is the best. The swell and tambre with the clarity she can belt out. 💯

[@andrewschatz9288]

Back in 2003 when Evanescence was touring for "The Fallen" album, the Charlotte, NC date had to be rescheduled due to Amy falling ill. At the makeup show, she said she got really sick from doing the underwater scenes for the "Going Under" video. The band did a KILLER cover of "Zero" by the Smashing Pumpkins and Amy sat on the edge of the stage while playing a keyboard to have the whole crowd embarrass her bandmate by singing happy birthday to him. Her voice was just as good in person as it was on the album. Also, the video has a lot of extra crowd sounds in it that are not present in the album version. The guitar solo was heavily drowned out by them. I recall guitarist Ben Moody's tone was harshly criticized at the time due to him using what were considered low quality Line6 amps. Considering "The Fallen" was the sixth best selling album of the 21st century, I think the band made out just fine.

[@RyanEglitis]

Ben always had a good eye for what made things commercially successful - never quite liked their other stuff as much after he left. Shame he has all his other negative traits...

[@notyoaveragesouthernmama5734]

​@@RyanEglitisEverything that made Fallen and Evanescence successful was because of Amy. Even My Immortal, "Ben's Song" was bound for the scrapheap before Amy pulled it out, changed some lyrics, and wrote the bridge for it. Ben needed to leave because if he stayed Evanescence wouldn't exist. He went on to write songs like Because of You by Kelly Clarkson. Ben leaving was the best possible thing for the band.

[@RyanEglitis]

@@notyoaveragesouthernmama5734 Amy definitely had the voice and a lot of the artistic flair. Ben reined that in and focused it towards what would be popular (along with their first record company). Yes, writing for pop stars kind of proves that point - it's in the name POP(ular). The results speak for themselves - Fallen and Origin are amazing throughout, the subsequent ones are merely good (with great singing). I also know he had to leave because of toxic interpersonal stuff, but barring that (not possible, I know), I think they were better musically with him. Saying all that, it's clear he needed a ton of the things Amy brought to the table, because while good, We Are the Fallen is in the opposite boat as Evanesence. They have the hooks, but can't quite deliver on the flair and singing chops of a truly top tier band.

[@rhuulu110]

Lithium was one of my favorite Evanescence songs.

[@Singraft]

She did a tour with these songs sung classically. It was such a good idea and fits with her voice perfectly

[@Whiskey11Gaming]

Probably because she was a classically trained opera singer before creating Evanescence. :)

Amy Lee is one of the best vocalists in the world, regardless of musical genre. And how good it is to listen to Evanescence.

By the way, I would love to see your analysis of a song called "What It Is" by Jonathan Davis, lead singer of Korn. It's a strong lyric with a powerful message. It would be incredible.

I'm happy to see another Evanescence video on your channel. They are one of my favorite bands. I know there's a lot of suggestions for them but I still want to put down mine. "Sweet Sacrifice", definitely a good hitting Metal song. "Good Enough" and "Hello", both ballads but is piano focused songs with Amy Lee's incredible vocal range. I think you'd really love them. And "Everybody's Fool", the music video really makes a difference with this song. I think it's something many of us should watch when it comes to the expectations of celebrities and the insecurities they go through personally. 💖😎👍

If you do more Evanescence, I would highly recommend "My Last Breath". It's one of my favourite songs by them for an especially great moment that I feel compelled to sing along with even though I can barely hit the notes.

"My Last Breath" is an Evanescence song that I don't think gets enough love. Almost no reactions to it. It may not feature Amy's full range, but the mix of electronica and metal with soaring violins is unique!

[@Spectreffex]

Evanescence has been my very favourite band for over 20 years now, literally since childhood and well into adulthood. They're my most listened to band on Spotify. I was a young pianist (about 10 years old) and the only piano music I knew was Classical. Then, I heard Evanescence. Amy showed me that I could do so much more, and that influenced the creation of my own compositions. That inspiration has kept me playing piano throughout my life. I am grateful for the way this band has touched my soul, through all of the darkness.

[@davidturner2974]

The piano hits in there really reminded me of "Call me Little Sunshine" by Ghost. Love how in both tracks those really add to the uneasy feeling you get from them.

[@Meower68]

Many performers (musical and otherwise) talk about getting "in the zone." When you see a guitarist who seems like they're in a trance, when you see a dancer who seems like they're completely lost, and both of them are always pulling off an absolutely killer performance, that's it. Amy Lee routinely acts and sounds like she's there. That's correctly known as a "flow state." Hungarian research Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi is best-known for researching this, in-depth. Other people seek this state as well. As a developer (programmer), I can get into a flow state while working on code (frequently requires some fast / loud music, a certain amount of caffeine and avoiding certain technologies) and ...geez, where did the day go? But man ... I got SO MUCH done today.

Amy Lee is right up there with Ann Wilson as some of the best vocalists in rock music. Not just female vocalists, but vocalists, period. Going Under is one of my favorite Evanescence songs. Great choice! Check out Whisper too!

No other is like Amy she is amazing!!!! Simply beautiful in everything she does musically she is the BEST nobody is close . PERIOD

[@aliciafreeman734]

If you want another hauntingly beautiful Amy Lee song, I recommend Lithium. Also, Esoterica’s “Firefly” is a must experience video and song.

Love this analysis! Amy is amazing with the perfect mix of classical vocal technique with rock angst and power!

One of my favourite female voices 💜🔥💜 Going Under Timeless classic 🔥🤘🔥

Hear me out. Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society) , In This River LIVE in Paris (2006). What an incredible performance with a heart-wrenching story behind it. Even if not for a video, but just your own personal enjoyment.

I have this particular obsession with Evanescence; more so with Amy Lee herself and it started in 2003 when they were featured in the abysmal Ben Affleck led movie of Daredevil. In that instance of the film when I heard "Bring Me to Life" for the very first time, I was IMMEDIATELY transported to a safe space in my world of just her mesmerizing vocals and I. There, I continue to live within the foundations of what her sound fills my life with in the comfort, the healing, and the absolute enchantment of her pitches and hypnotizing range of voice. I attribute such a passion and obsession to a highlight in my life where I nearly lost my life as a vehicle I traveled in fell 45ft off a cliff and left me hospitalized for 3 months. Laying there, paralyzed, speechless, and comatose for a good duration of three months and broken still, I was provided her music and chilling vocals by family who recognized my admiration for her and to say Evanescence saved my life is no understatement. Laying there absolutely broken bodily with a swollen brain, as the primary impact and injury was sustained mentally with lacerations and trauma to the brain itself, vegetative and a composure likened to a corpse itself the one memory that I was fortunate to retain was the lyrics and emotions that her music touched in my heart that I mouthed the words to (before my ability of speech had returned to me) to each and every one of her tracks; both mainstream and unreleased (such as "Missing" look it up if you have the time). I apologize for the long-winded rant of an obsessed fan, but Amy Lee is on a whole plane to herself in my life when that first moment I heard her vocals I was boarded on the years-long infatuation train of everything Amy Lynn Lee, and will forever regard her as the saint to bring healing to my world.

I LOVE Amy Lee's voice and Going Under has always been one of my favorite songs. You've been through A LOT. God bless you. Years ago, my father had a couple freak accidents that required surgery, and after unlikely post-surgery complications, he had to relearn how to walk, talk, read, and write. It left him with partial perm. disabilities, so I FEEL for you, Mathew.

It's a complete change of being, really, and I hold you all in prayer and wish him nothing but healing and strength to prevail ahead no matter the challenges within and without he may, and is facing in his day to day. 🙏🏼

Está es mi canción favorita de Evanescence, siento que transmite tanto y hay tantas formas de interpretarlo, es una obra maestra y amo tu explicación e interpretación ❤❤

[@celestialdemon1316]

Amy Lee has one of the greatest and yet underappreciated voices of all time. I've loved it since I first heard it back in 2003, and I still love it today. Nobody's voice pulls at my emotions like hers does.

[@jimwoidyla5139]

Amy’s voice always sends chills down my spine!

[@carriegibson2202]

I love your reactions! I just saw an old interview a few weeks ago and saw that Amy Lee and Lzzy Hale are really good friends. Amy even sang with Halestorm on Break In, it's a great song! Those two ladies are soooo amazing! I never thought I'd like any female vocalist more than Ann Wilson or Bonnie Tyler and Stevie Nick's, but my goodness, I was wrong! They all have so many special things about their voices and are just insanely talented. Another awesome song and review! I love how you truly listen and pick up on everything! It's hard not to smile watching along, and i love that you stop and explain whats going on and rewind so we can all hear everything that makes these vocalists so special! ❤

I think Elizabeth has done a reaction to Break In.
