My Immortal....

Ever since Evanescence, a rock band, released their album Fallen, I have been a fan of the song 'My Immortal'. The song is written by Ben Moody, who co-founded the band with Amy Lee. Although Ben has left the group citing creative differences, this particular song has assumed a hit position in the minds for a million people. The song basically is about the loss of a loved one. The way people move on after the loss. The lyrics are powerful and brings tears to the eyes of countless people. What I love about this song is that it is a piano piece and a beautiful one at that. The best way to experience this song is to close your eyes and listen to it (preferably on a surround sound system). It makes you feel as though you are riding a wave of music. Amy Lee sounds amazing right from the deepest lowest note to the highest pitch. The song infact shows the immortality of the person in essence. thats what touches us all the most than anythin in the song. The music, the lyrics, the emotions.....they all work up to that effect and that effect alone. A recommended song for the ones who have lost something precious in their lives. As usual I part with the lines from the song and urge everyone to atleast listen to it once...

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
[Chorus:]
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
[Chorus]
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
