Bring This Music Back To Life

Evanescence
“Bring Me Back To Life”

How can you see into my eyes like open doors
Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb
Without a soul (without)
My spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back....home

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become

Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life

Chorus
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life

(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life

Frozen inside without your touch,
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life, Are my life!

(All this time I can't believe I couldn't see)
(Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me)
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
(Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul)
Don't let me die here
(There must be something more!)
Bring me to life

Chorus

(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside!)
Bring me to life

First they were 7 and now they’re down to 4. Almost 2/3rd’s of the original band has gone. Those were Ben Moody and David Hodges but only left with Amy Lee. Ben Moody and Amy Lee was founder of Evanescence when they’ve met in church camp. Ben and Amy soon began recording songs like "Give Unto Me" and "Understanding" under the name Evanescence. With such influences as Type O Negative, Living Sacrifice (who, rumor has it, once asked Ben to join as guitarist, but he turned them down to continue focusing on Evanescence), Portishead and Sarah McLachlan they began to craft a unique sound that took in elements of metal, electronic music and (probably without intending it) goth rock. Their debut EP was released in December of 1998 at their first show at Vino's in Little Rock. The run of 100 CDRs sold out quickly that night. At some point David Hodges joined the band on keys. Ben Moody is a notorious perfectionist who has a hard time finding anyone who he feels comfortable playing music with. In time the Evanescence live show was rounded out with such members as Will Boyd (the Visitors) John Lecompt (formerly of Mindrage, currently of Kill System) and Rocky Gray (of Soul Embraced, Kill System and Living Sacrifice). Recently David Hodges has parted ways with the band, hoping to return to his musical roots and start a new band in the Christian market.

Rumor has it he and Matt Outlaw are currently writing songs for this project. Last year, Ben Moody was joining Anastacia to appear in the pop rock singles called Pieces Of The Broken Dreams. John Lecompt and Rocky Gray are now considered full-fledged members of the band. Their major-label debut Fallen on Wind-Up Records, home to bands such as 12 Stones and Drowning Pool has gone 5x Platinum in the US alone. The overpowering sounds of Evanescence have definitely set them apart from any other band in 2003, and have won them many awards to include two Grammy’s! However with all their success, also came lots of disappointments. But who knows what happen to them on the next 3 years. 3 years had been missing in the music scene and finally, they went out with another album called The Open Door. Part of their band members went to the rehab and some was keep waiting what will happen to them. However, with this album was their new hope to bring a light to their band. Their first singles called “Call Me When You’re Sober”, was newly success singles at the chart and even had been played on air everywhere in 17 countries. This will hit them back to the stage again. After the success of ‘Call Me When You’re Sober’, the second singles, ‘Lithium’ had achieved the success to the top of the period but in the short period.
