"Bring Me To Life"

Published on November 13, 2003 By CariElf In Music

I first heard this song by Evanescence in the movie Daredevil, and it just stuck with me. I usually listen to soft rock stations, but I've started listening to a different station lately, in protest of my usual stations already playing Christmas carols. So I've been hearing this song more often, and the more often that I hear it, the more I like it.

The music is a juxtaposition of a delicate piano arpeggio and a driving beat from the guitar, completed with passionate lyrics.

I went on amazon looking for this song because I couldn't remember the name or artist from the movie credits, and I'd never caught it on the radio. I listed to some clips from some of Evanescence's other songs. I might have to go out on my lunch period and get that CD, I'm so addicted now.

In the meantime, mp3.com will let me listen to "Bring Me to Life" for free. I've listened to it about 10 times in a row so far.

My suggestion would be to not listen to it that often. I really liked the song, but got really burnt out on it because they played it on the radio too many time.

You are knowledgable about music I take it (from the terminology you used). What do you think of Josh Grobin? I have an appreciation for strong, well disciplined singers. His voice has so much strength and control! I just close my eyes and breathe in his voice when I listen to him.

KarmaGirl: Well since I have to keep hitting the play button, I have more incentive to just listen to music I have on my harddrive.

When I get the CD, I'll probably play that in the car and at work for awhile, then just shuffle the tracks into my playlist.

JillUser: I play the acoustic guitar. I'm not great, and I don't have a lot of music education, but I've picked up some of the terminology.

Josh Grobin is an excellent singer, but his songs (at least the ones that I'm familiar with) are too exaggerated for him to be one of my favorites, because he seems less sincere and heart felt (and more operatic) than say Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven".

I went out and got the CD last night. It's pretty cool, and a nice change from soft rock. I also picked up The Essential Simon & Garfunkel (2 discs of Simon and Garfunkel's best) and WOW Christmas (a compilation of Christmas music from the best Christian Rock artists). These are also great CDs. I'm a longtime fan of Simon & Garfunkel, and I've been suffering from Simon & Garfunkel withdrawl since I moved out of my parents house. I haven't gotten all the way through the WOW Christmas CD yet, but I like what I've heard so far, and my experience with the WOW series has been that I can pick any of them without listening to them first, and get a great CD (or two, as the case may be).

Amy Lee definitely has one of the freshest, most powerful voices since Pat Benatar. While I fall in with the "overplayed" crowd, that is the nature of the RIAA beast, not the fault of this great band.
