So BMTL is what introduced me to Amy but this song is what made me fall deeply in love with her and the band. This song is about losing someone and having their spirit staying attached to you. I lost my sister a long time ago and everytime I listen to this beautiful masterpiece it reminds me of her. Amy is an all time goat and my personal favorite musician of all time. I relate to her so much and she has saved me from doing some stupid shit. She is not just a fantastic singer but she is also a fantastic pianist and harpist and she also writes all of her songs. Just an all around beautiful and talented and amazing artist that to me deserves way more love and respect. Great reaction and please react to more of her. If you want another beautiful ballad then I suggest reacting to “Hello”. It’s about her sister that she lost when they were super young. If you want to rock out then I suggest to listen to “Going Under”. That one is an absolute banger. Anyways again great reaction and sorry about this long ass comment. Lol.

Amy Lee is playing the ghost of a girl who recently died. She is being mourned by her lover (played by Ben, the guy is walking around in a suit in the video, and who is also the songwriter.) The lyrics are her interpretation of his thoughts as he grieves. So, the song is from a man and is about a woman, and its sung by the ghost of the woman it was written for.

My perspective of the theme of the song is that even though she is singing, the guy in the suit walking around is the one that is feeling this about her who has passed away. You can see him walking around aimlessly looking for her on the streets, but she's in a different plane of existence (which is why she is dressed as she is and never on the ground, she's always on top of something keeping her away from him).

It's not about a breakup, but also I always like to remind myself that what a song means to me can have a very different meaning to someone else. If it resonates with you as being about a breakup that doesn't make you wrong. For me it was always clear to me that what the song made me feel was that it was about losing something, and being in mourning, specifically being stuck in a type of perpetual mourning. To be specific I always thought the song was about a mother mourning the loss of her child. I didn't see the music video for many many years but when I did finally see it for the first time, all those years ago, the imagery served to strengthen the foundation of my original thoughts and feelings about what I thought it was about. In fact it took me from a place of imagining it was about a mother mourning the loss of her child, to, after seeing the mans presence in the video, it actually seemed about not just a mother but a father also, both in mourning. Both stuck in perpetual morning. The name of the song "My Immortal" translated from the obvious meaning of someone living for ever, to, someone who lives forever and being stuck in this type of mourning for their child.. indefinitely.

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."

If you want to hear an example of how she can harmonize, look up Break In by Halestorm featuring Amy Lee. While My Immortal shows how strong her voice can be, Break In shows her ability to pull it back when needed. Something that is difficult to do. If you want some more Evanescence, look up Call Me When Your Sober. It is more like Being Me To Life than My Immortal. But all three are great songs.

In case anyone cares about the truth anymore... "The song's words were originally written by Moody from fiction and the music written by Lee on piano when they were 15, after which Lee added the bridge.[8] The lyrics of the song refer to a spirit that haunts the memory of a grieving loved one, according to MTV.[2] Lee considered it Moody's song as he wrote the lyrics.[9][2] She contributed "a little bit" to the lyrics, but does not connect with the song as it does not have personal meaning to her."

The story behind this song is actually a little murky. There's several different things people have read or heard. I read that Amy wrote the lyrics as a poem when she was only 16 and it's about a close friendship that faded away. I've also heard it's about her sister who died when she was a child. I've also heard it was written by the lead guitarist (no longer with the band) about his grandfather who passed away. The video heavily portrays there was a death, though. I think the band likes the mystery behind the song. It allows everyone to take something different from it.
