She was meeting a few of her friends at a restaurant when a guy she barely knew looked into her eyes and asked her "Are you happy?". She knew that she truly wasn't, and those simple words really struck her. That is how the opening lines to the song "Bring Me To Life", "how can you see into my eyes like open doors..." came about. ... continue reading...

It was originally believed that the Evanescence song “Good Enough” has parts of the song they wrote for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe before it was cut from the soundtrack to the film. It was recently revealed that there may be another couple of songs. The one we’re not sure of is Lacrymosa, and the other song is called Together Again. Together Again is available to anyone that is willing to donate $5 to Haiti by way of the United Nations. A minimum of $5 is required to get the download. Here’s where you can Donate to Haiti!
Amy Lee says of the song: I wrote something else that was moody, dark and really cool, and the director wanted something that felt more hopeful. The song was about saying goodbye and moving on, and that’s what they’re doing in [the beginning of] the movie when they’re leaving their parents and going into some scary, unknown place. That’s how I wrote it, from their perspective. I thought the song was perfect. And it wasn’t like I put a bunch of guitars in it. I made stuff that was cool and vibey but was still haunting, and I think that’s the part they didn’t like.
Here are the lyrics:
Never thought that I’d be leaving you today
So alone and wondering why I feel this way
So wide the world
Can love remember how to get me home to you
Someday
We’ll be together again
All just a dream in the end
We’ll be together again
So many fears were swimming around and around in my mind
Who would have dreamed the secrets we would find
I’ve found a world where love and dreams and darkness all collide
Maybe this time we can leave our broken world behind
We’ll be together again
All just a dream in the end

Lead singer Amy Lee said that the work for the next album are in full swing – but reveals that the band will not play unreleased stuff in Sao Paulo on November 8.
“Let’s give our best.” This is the assurance given by Amy Lee, Evanescence’s lead, to show that the band will do their best at the Festival Machinery in Sao Paulo on November 8. After an hiatus of nearly two years, the group prepares for a second visit to the country, where, according to the singer, the fans are “more special”.
By telephone, Amy was relaxed and excited about the presentation. However, the Australian public does not care for the new tracks: the last album, The Open Door, was released in 2006 – and the next one is planned to hit the market next year. Meanwhile, guitarist John LeCompt and drummer Rocky Gray, members of the old formation, left the band. Leaving the band so sudden, the process of creating and compositioning new stuff for the band came basically to a standstill, a fact lamented by Amy. … read more »

M.I.A., David Byrne, and more attend the two musicians’ experimental collaboration in a bookstore. SPIN’s Charles Aaron explains.
And with good reason. Last Friday’s intimate benefit show at Housing Works bookstore in New York’s Soho neighborhood was an acoustically nuanced, elaborately voiced performance by the Brooklyn-based indie-rock theoreticians Dirty Projectors featuring pop’s most likable experimentalist, Bjork. And everyone — most of all the patrons who paid $100-$400 a ticket — wanted to hear every carefully composed strum and croon and otherworldly hocket. So they shooshed. (…)
Meanwhile, the increasingly lubricated crowd was warming to the task of spotting musical “celebrities” amongst the crowd of 300 — M.I.A., David Byrne, St. Vincent, Evanescence singer Amy Lee, members of Vampire Weekend and the National. All right, so it wasn’t an Us Weekly field day, but still, a lively turnout, which reportedly raised upwards of $40,000 for Housing Works’ efforts to assist homeless, HIV-positive New Yorkers (read more..). More from this event: HousingWorks.org Huge thanks to EvanescenceVille for this find!
