Now almost 32 years of age, and this song makes me feel 16 again. Her voice.... Just perfect.

the past..

[@TruckerWife]

My husband just found this song in 2024. He's an over the road truck driver and is gone for a month at a time with only a few days home. We have 2 kids, and it's super lonely for all of us without him home. He just sent this to me, and I cried listening to it.

[@lebanese996]

People ask why I love Evanescence? Because they literally sing poetry! They're songs are deep with many meaning and are beautiful. They make an entire story with a strong emotional base, so rare, that it can consume a person to his very soul! Evanescence are my life!

[@МеталВантузъархив]

@Daniel Cabrera Loa Evanescence it's a pop-equivalent of DSBM - DSPR. Depressive Suicidal Pop Rock

How to get to it this year but I'm not sure what is going for you have a great day at school today and

Every now and then, I log into this account to check comments and see how much the views have gone up, and it’s weird to me that a random lyrics video that I made in an hour when I was 14 years old is still being watched and appreciated today. It meant a lot to me as a kid. I’m 24 now and engaged and this is still one of the coolest random things I ever did. 😂

[@eduardoorvananosarcher4053]

I come back from time to time because this song is nowhere to be found except here, and it's probably the best Evanescence song ever created

[@siswanabe9721]

Thanks to the 14 year-old you. You made a lasting contribution.

[@angiedamien137]

Thank you so much ! That's amazing 💕💙 so happy you found love :) I hope that you're both happy.

[@SnickyNicky96]

Her voice... Enchanting. Haunting. Angelic. Beautiful. There aren't many other artists with these qualities.

[@vsma70]

The most powerful song ever produced by the old Evanescense. It's explosive and emotional. One of my all time favorites.

[@Moonlight-xk9yl]

So so deep song for me

[@fallenbrubaker3166]

I never thought that I would be using this song for my wedding last summer but also not even 10 months later for my late husbands funeral. Years ago he found this cd and bought it for me. I've loved it then and I still love it to this day. This song has helped me get through his passing as I envision him to be my guardian angel. I fly so far away in my dreams with him by my side.

[@_FearNoEvil]

This is simply one of the most beautiful, unique, and ethereal songs that I’ve ever heard in my life. Those vocals, the melody, the harmonies...musical magic. Evanescence forever ❤️

[@wanderessmusic]

I found this video when I was 17 years old and I used to listen to it and think to myself “I can’t wait to grow up, and find love and run away with him and live in a sanctuary with the love of my life” I was under the idea that maybe when I got older - love would be more simple and that we would create some sort of nymph Woodland together of life and this song carry’s those little dreams I harbored within myself about what I dreamed love to be when I was an innocent teenager. I’m 30 now and I’ve learned that love is more painful than it is magical. But I still listen to this song to this day, and it brings me feelings of immense peace and solace. I knew the song from when I was like 13/14 I downloaded it off of limewire - but when I stopped using limewire and switched to KZbin, this video helped me fall asleep so many times when I was crying myself to sleep. It really helped me to feel safe in my dreams about love. I think that the male vocals with hers are so beautifully blended. I hope to be able to write a song this powerful and soothing someday.

[@vampirequeenofficial]

Such true words. I've also found much comfort in this song. Seems that the only true paradise is within our own souls and the beautiful worlds that live within us.

[@nadaelnokaly4950]

Hey there. same thoughts I had and same age as you now. cheer up may all your pain go away and all your dreams come true❤

[@mishuncompree1362]

This is such a beautiful and serene song. Its fantasy like, and the beautiful background just adds to it.

One of the MOST underrated song ! For me it even beats 'my immortal' ..... Beautiful placement of lyrics and tune combined ! Backing vocals hits home ... Beautiful chord progression .... LOVE THIS SONG till my last breath

Her songs are not just beautiful but emotional and realistic, I made a cover: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p57OiKCHntWle9k

i had lost this song in my memory...i was 14 when i listened...now 27 years old.

[@anapaulinonaranjo4956]

im 22 now and listening to this its bringing me back some old memory vibe when i was one heck of a sensitive 13teen year old emo girl who was practically highly emotional and very easily to get hurt of crushed so i would listen to songs like this beautiful soul songs and cry cause i could lityrally connect my whole life to this songs thanks to this song i was able to let out my saddness and darkness and relrif myself with this song and open my heart and heal again from painful wounds that been caused!!!!!!!!!

[@anapaulinonaranjo4956]

in my heart i will still forever be an emo and now im a wonderful artist i love art!!!!!!!!!still have lots of ways to go to fullfill my career fream goals wich is to become of real life long term proffessional artist someday!!!!!!!!!!

So True

[@xXSkyWarriorXx]

Hello, everyone! I thought about this video again today and thought I’d give you all an update on what’s been going on since I last posted. I’m 26 now, and living with a cousin in a brand new place! Very exciting stuff, and I’m thriving in my new environment. But more importantly, as of today (when I most recently checked anyhow 😅) this video has 1.6 MILLION views, which honestly blows me away! Thanks so much for validating my edgy little 14-year old self after all this time. ❤️ I’ve often wondered if I should make another lyric video whenever I have the free time and the motivation strikes me. What would you guys like to see if I do decide to make another?

[@mymissingpuzzlepiece1983]

im happy for u, thank you, take care yourself

[@lydiageekz6848]

I hope you do make another! To see someone who is still active on an 11 year old video is amazing, and if you came back it would mean the world!! ❤️

[@aacgonew]

Wash it all away/understanding

[@bennett475]

Nice to see you're still around and kicking after all these years; back when you was 14 and I was 16, these songs were our everything and helped us out when we were fed up with everything going on around us - the Lyric videos were a fantastic outlet where you could let out so much of them emotions. Your audience have moved on just like you have with life, I'm not sure another lyric video would hit like these types did hehe. I still come back here every x amount of months when I want to reminisce back to my edgy teenager days. Typically at 2AM when I can't sleep, like I did back then when Myspace was a thing :P

[@ySaito.]

I'll sure see it. Glad to hear you're doing good

[@sew-n-so]

I found a journal entry from 14 years ago where I said this was my favorite song. I did not even remember it. The moment I clicked on this video it all came flooding back. I'm so glad I checked it out again. (Plus I'm going to see Evanescence and Muse together next month, so it's perfect timing!)

[@49days]

This is the song ı relentlessly listened to while pondering over committing suicide. Luckily, these hurtful, bad days have passed by and this song doesn't hurt me as it used to hurt.

[@BinTtown]

Glad you all made it through those tough times...but the truth? Most of Amy Lee's songs that sound PRO-SUICIDE are actually ANTI-SUICIDE...she's telling you to run away with your love. That said, it doesn't take away from what you all went through and it's good you made it through.

[@49days]

Alex Macmillan Thank u for your heart-warming comment. I've already been better than i used to be. I was having great difficulty in coping with the events or thoughts surrounding me, but now i can handle them in a better way. :)

I love Evanescence. They have songs that are just so powerful and emotional and Amy's voice is just flawless

[@kurtlightning7115]

i came out in 8th grade, where im from gay wasnt a thing you advertised, i felt so alone, didnt know anyone else like me. i used to listen to this song and imagine my soulmate. im 25 now, still no soulmate but this band has helped me through some trying times that have made me a better stronger person ❤ love one another, hates hate, dosnt matter who or what, its all the same hate

[@Station-613]

Kurt Lightning I know the feeling, Evanescence and Amy’s voice saved me and gave me hope, not I’m still alone too. At least we have her music!

[@49days]

I can totally relate. I hope you are ok.

[@BranwellBlack]

I've been listening to this song for a good 12years and I gotta admit this is a masterpiece of a song! Like honestly it's kinda heartbreaking it's never really seen the light of day by anyone other than big Evanescence fans - the world deserved this x

[@LaraCroftFan1011]

Amy's like...the best female singer I have ever heard. I just love her songs. it is sometimes as if they even speak my life. Amy is just plain amazing and a beautiful singer. That is saying something. ♥

[@JeevasxKeehl]

This video takes me back to my teenage years. I’m 28 now 😢

[@MixDream95]

This is one of the few songs that can make people live a memory they never created.

[@alexawhite4748]

Every time I hear this song I cry my eyes out. It means more to me than any other song I've ever heard. The sound of It brings back memories of happier and more peaceful times. But now my life is harder than it used to be, and the beautiful feeling this song gives me I hope will never leave me. I hope one day I can personally thank Amy and the band for what they've done for me :)

[@megannelocke7697]

it makes running away seem so perfect and so easy. it makes daydreams real and she is like a conveyor of other people's inner emotions, the emotions some people dare not expose.

[@sereneblack199]

This song is gorgeous, absolutely amazing, her voice is so incredible.

[@mariajosecbmc4342]

I was 16 when I watched this video and still come here to watch it again after so many years, now I'm 29!!! Well done!!!!

[@handyrams4664]

Amy Lee's voice is the spirit of the woman of my youth who loved me only in my dreams. I've never known love other than my family and the love of Jesus.

[@alyssalucas8592]

Amy Lee has such a beautiful voice!!!Love your songs so much!!!

[@Elly3981]

This is the first time I've heard a song from Evanescence that is not so dark and depressing. Beatiful song!

[@justinwallace269]

Easily one of my all time Evanescence favorites. As with all of Amy’s songs, there so layers, feelings, and stories embedded in the music and her voice. Absolutely love her and her work.

[@yumisanwich8714]

Thanks to this song, I can by just closing my eyes and listening to it, be completely transported years ago to a different time in my life and sit in the same room and cry myself to sleep all over again. They may not be completely happy memories, but this is so fucking powerful. This is beauty, I still appreciate it.

Hearing this song after a couple years and I'm in tears. Takes me straight back to my dark, emo, teenage years but I'm crying because this reminds me of how much I have grown over the years. Thank you, uploader, I needed this today.

What's wrong with dark and depressing? Amy speaks from many people's hearts when she sings. And that's what makes her amazing. Not her fault so many lives are so dark.

[@hakimzermane]

I agree with you and if only she had do a song with chester Bennington from Linkin park

[@Ichigobleachzangetsu]

While each individual song by Amy Lee has its own beauty, this one has a unique beauty. I don't know how to explain it, but it has a way of sounding so serene. So beautiful that I'm crying.

[@MrTuxedoCat1]

Meet me after dark and I'll hold you again. I want nothing more that to see you there. And maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away, we'll be lost before the dawn...This is an amazing song
