The lyrics for the song LACRYMOSA were written without giving it a title.
Later, the song received its name & finished when Kurt Cobain’s friends the Melvin’s recorded the song Lacrimosa released on the Stag album in 1996. Kurt had been on the Def Leppard tour in 1983 when Joe Elliott discovered me. The lead singer of Evanescence uses my name as her stagename. I am Amy Lee the songwriter and named the band when I was 15 in 1983 after I started writing songs.
"The only sad thing about a great night in the theater, is its EVANESCENCE. When it’s over, it’s over. You can remember the performance forever of course, but you can’t recreate that VIRGIN SENSATION – that almost numbing exhilaration – of witnessing something NEW and different FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME." - article "A Chorus of Love" by Frank Rich of The New York Times Oct 1, 1983 inspired me to write Like A Virgin for Madonna, New Sensation for INXS, & inspired the band I named Evanescence.
@redovnost you cannot just have said that mozart isn't important. he is one of the most influencial composers there has ever been! music would be so much different without him! so don't go around saying shit that you don't really mean. amy lee has a beautiful voice but she won't be remembered as much as him.
Anyways, the sound quality on this vid is really bad.. :(

evanence = low unoriginal piece of shit, disgraceful, un-professional, disrespectful band that makes an uneventful and failed attempt to create "music".. songs like these should be illegal..
uh hello i didnt.. "listen to them" as in download-and-put-in-my-ipod listen, i dont.. pls copy and paste from the message board where the fuck i put anything related to "i listen to evanesence"? fag.. i had the misfortune of venturing into this video because i was looking for the original lacrymosa, or fully known as Requiem..
all you have to do to listen to them is watch this video moron. its that simple, it seems you are too stupid to even grasp the concept, kinda sad really.coward
what concept you fag.. i dont listen to evanesence, PERIOD.. can you grasp that concept you dumbass? or are you so little that u can give in when ur wrong? i listened to this video yeah, thats past tense, never again, in order to comment on it i "kinda" needed to.. but i dont listen to them, thats present tense, can you grasp that concept? ur fucking sad making a fool out of urself here... and coward? wtf.. go suck a dick
why dont you? seems to me that your the one that really wants to, and you listened to them PERIOD you said you never did but guess what idiot you did just by listening to this video. i never said you were a diehard evenescence fan i just said you listened to them at least once moron.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
read moron, i have faith in you.. this is what u said "i love their music, this video sucks but all of their music is good, if you have a problem with it then dont listen to it (listen to them, not listened)" and what did i say? "who said i do?".. now where do you get that i ever declined having listened to them ONCE? just tell me fag, those quotes both say listen, never listened, past tense.. which means that i never declined ever listening ONCE to the fucking song.. dumbass
whatever you are such an idiot fighting with someone online, what do you think im offended or scared because of what you say? your being an idiot going on about listening to them just shut it already. oh im so scared of this faceless person calling me names whatever. stupid males.
lol, im not fighting you nor am i threatenening you, again ur makingn up stuff.. i was pointing out that you made a wrong statement and i corrected it.. plus i do think u are upset cuz ur wrong.. but its ok we arent always right.. and again, i dont LISTEN to them, i LISTEN to them once.. what is so fucking hard to understand, huh..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
lol typo.. i meant i: i dont LISTEN to them, i "LISTENED" to them once.. what is so fucking hard to understand, huh.. but anyway theres no point in discussing with u.. u dont want to get it..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
another fucking inbred! damn, retard, the only reason i came to see this video was cuz i was looking for the original lacrymosa, not because i wanted to, and the reason why i come back to this damn video is because of ppl like u..
ex: i imagine u hate war, but then again u might be seeing videos about war.. liking and seeing something u like doesnt have to go on par always, imbecil..
well still no reason to bad mouth everyone else and no reason for everyone else to bad mouth you although i must agree this is a bad video but i still love evanescence i think she is a great singer
Without Mozart music won't have developed. Amy Lee said she was influenced by his music. He died because either didn't know how to handle his fame and money and wasted it all, or some jealous rival killed him. You can't say that you really know how Mozart's music effected everyone who listened to him. Nothing personal it's just I don't think you know much about Mozart. And yes he is dead. Who do you know that is like almost 300 years old. His music is obviously still alive.
Amy was so good, even if the video doesn't show it...but seriously, they checked bags for cameras, so no one got in anything that would get great quality.
And to anyone who says the crowd shouldn't sing along: I sang along, as did everyone else, and no one cared. Have you ever been to a concert? That's how they work. The artist sings, the crowd sings along and screams at the apropriate moments. Very simple.
What the hell ?? Some people need to stop masturbating in front of bony slut like Paris Hilton ! Amy's a bit less skinny than she was in the Fallen era, but yet she is not FAT, you need to go to an optometrist !!!
omg. she has a great body, shes not freakin anorexic like every other girl artist. shes perfect. and thats what makes her a great role model, she doesnt make every girl feel like they need to be skinny. shes amazing.
Is that a joke? Singing along is a great way to show how much you love a band and connect with them. It's a unity thing and can be very cathartic. Bands love it when you sing along, anyway. Why do you think they point the mic to the crowd and say "sing!"?
what does the band do while amy and the computers sing the song? :) i was expecting a more rocking version with more guitars in,for concerts.cos that's what they generally do ; they involve the band even into ballads.
Yeah...the sound quality isn't very good but you can tell that it does actually sound awesome!!! Can't wait till the 21st of November! COME ON MANCHESTER APOLLO!!!
AVALON. <3 I'm SO fucking pissed I couldn't go, I go to billions of shows at Avalon all the time...Fuck >_> Thanks to Judaism I couldn't go, thanks SO much for posting this.

Mozart is nothing comparing to her !
His songs didn't save any lifes , hers did !
He died because of his music ( it was that bad ) , and Amy is alive , and she will be forever !
