Ever wondered what it’s like to sing a rock anthem so many times that it becomes your unsolicited morning alarm? Well, if you’ve ever caught an Evanescence show, “Bring Me to Life” probably feels like that endless ride you never asked for but secretly love. And speaking of rides, with Mercury retrograde kicking up communication chaos today, wouldn’t you think the universe is testing those epic, nerve-shredding final notes? Imagine being at the end of a grueling set, your voice hitching on that signature long note while the crowd is hanging on every breath — talk about cosmic pressure! But hey, sometimes you just gotta leap without looking, trust that vocal chord, and hope the stars and your lungs are aligned. More than a hit song, it’s about that leap of faith that keeps a band—and its fans—alive through the years. So, what about the deep cuts from Evanescence’s early days? Are they just dust-collectors, or gems waiting to shine again under today’s starry skies? Let’s dig in and find out. LEARN MORE.
What about “Bring Me to Life”? I feel like at this point you can sing it in your sleep!
I can do that no matter what’s going on. It does have that really long note. I would only be scared of “Bring Me to Life” because it is usually the last song in our set. So if I’m ever sick or, like, exhausted at the end of the show, I just try not to be nervous. That’s one of those moments where I have to tell myself not to freak out and worry that your voice isn’t going to be there.
But other than that, like no matter how tired my voice is, you know, it’s “Bring Me to Life,” so the rest of it’s easy for me. But when we get to that part at the end, I just have to trust and take the leap! You just gotta take the leap without fear. That’s the trick!
Your fans will love you either way! Throwing it back to your first three albums [Fallen, The Open Door, Evanescence] — is there a song you feel is underrated now that it’s been some time?
It’s hard to say that anything is underrated by your fans. When we were first coming out, I felt like, “I hope people like me, and that we’re able to last. I hope that people hear our second single and our third single, and not just the very first song, and then throw us away.” I have such a different feeling now, when we have people all over the world who love our music and grew up with our music. It means something to them, you know, they love the deep cuts as much as the hits.
To be honest, I feel so much more appreciation for all of our music than I ever expected when we were starting out. It’s hard for me to sit around and think about what’s underrated when I feel like everything’s been rated much better than I expected! [We laugh.]
