Fallenreleases by countryFallensongbookThe making of FallenFallenJournal- Going Under (Fallen, 2003) Bring Me To Life might have delivered the breakthrough, but Going Under was the moment Amy stepped properly into the spotlight: a fully-formed symphonic metal icon with enough sass and self-belief – even as a 21-year-old woman – to stand her ground in a male dominated scene. ‘
- My Immortal (Fallen, 2003) A simple, slow-paced piano ballad that totally eschews electric instrumentation (aside from the final third of its single release), My Immortal was the song that properly set Evanescence apart from the pack.
- Bring Me To Life (Fallen, 2003) In the early-2000s, Bring Me To Life was a song that changed everything. Although the nu-metal subgenre was in its dying throes, its blunt force and broad machismo continued to echo through popular metal.
- Lithium (The Open Door, 2006) ‘Lithium, don’t want to lock me up inside / Lithium, don’t want to forget how it feels without / Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow / Oh, but, God, I want to let it go…’ The Open Door’s second single was a showcase for Amy as the classical powerhouse, built around a tinkling piano and her incredibly wide-ranging vocals, with crashes of metallic instrumentation layered onto a base composition she penned as a 16-year-old.
