  • @ImaginaryPiano Yeah, I just saw that interview a few days ago..oh well, it's still a very nice song :)

  • *___*

  • @Sherley881 Thats exactly what i think too...i think by swimming home it means she will take some time to get to her home cause she has to tour

  • Remember, this was friday the 13th... things were bound to happen.

  • I think this song is for her husband. She took 5 years off to be with him. When she says "swimming home" I think she's saying she's going back home to Evanescence and she adores her husband still, but she hears them calling (she hears the fans calling). "I cannot betray my kind"(the fans, or the band) "It's my time"(it's her time to shine) ...Not sure, but that's how I interpreted the song..what ya think?!

  • @Sherley881

    I always thought it was about someone dying. Amy confirmed that it was about death, the person who is dying is the one singing. 'I can hear them calling' refers to the dead calling the person.

    I love this song very much.

  • @EVaplynHD whatever your not an evanescence fan if you were you would like every single song ii am a huge evanescence fan ok so shut up

  • GOSH, I can't thank you enough! I never thought they'd perform this one live... It's impecable!!! Awesome, really; can't wait for them to come here. x)

  • Te worst song ever!

  • @EVaplynHD so why u are wastin' ur time watchin' this?

  • never thought that they'd ever play it live!!!it's fucking AWESOME performance.

  • I really dont get why she didnt get the I adore you still note. It´s an easy one. Anyway, I totaly adore her voice!! Im in love with it :D

  • Well it's the first time they played live, it's gonna more awesome, and she's gonna hit the "I adore you still" note next times :D

  • I really want all the songs they recorded with Steve Lillywhite in 2010. :)

  • Wow! Thank you so much for posting this. It's one of my favourite songs off the new album only second to My Heart is Broken.

    And guys and gals, she doesn't have to sing everything perfectly. She's a human being and sometimes she messes up the notes, it's all part of singing live. Show me one artist who sings live and never messed up a note and I guarantee you they lip-synch. Amy sang this song very well, though there were a few problems. In my book that's not a problem at all.

  • perfeitoo

  • Não entendi essas desafinadas dela O,o Me pareceu falta de ensaio... mas fico linda a música.

  • tim playing the synthesizer!!! they're literally a BAND now! :) awesome performance

  • Amy... what's wrong with you in the part "I adore you still"? ...u failed the note two times :O

  • @SakramEleventh11 the song is really hard to keep sycronised with. i think she lost her place. but she did amazaziiinggg XD

  • @SakramEleventh11 Have you thought about the fact that this song is about her died sister, and it's hard for her to sing it? Have you thought about the option that this line has a special meaning for her?

    Instead write a comment like this just think about the REAL meaning, about its lyrics.

  • @ty0kroitoru1 I can't believe she is singing this..

  • @irealife1 Me TOO!

    So AWESOME. <3

    isn't it? :D

  • @ty0kroitoru1 Hey hey hey, calm down! ;) I only said why she can't sing "I adore you still" for two times, I'm not here and sayin' "ooooh she sucks live!".

    I adore Amy, I adore Ev! ;) I was only wondering why...

  • @SakramEleventh11 ok... just wanted to say that Amy would never sing this note in a bad way if it wouldn't mean nothing for her.

    She sang the end of the song peectly and... these notes are a way harder than I adore you still.

    Well, I'm not nervous or Angry, Hope you understand :)

  • @ty0kroitoru1 even if since the 1st time I heard the song I thought it was 'bout Bonnie for lot of reasons, this thing constrasts with the fact that she never sings live songs 'bout her little sister... so I think that Swimming Home is about the death in general...

  • @SakramEleventh11 I thought about that too.. but.. if it's about a random death, why she almost cried there? Idk.. For example "Even In Death" is a song which talks about a random death, not a real event- you could see that she is not get emotional while singing it. but this song.... ive never heard Amy like that. she has a special feeling for this song. That's what i feel, that's what I hear. it's amazing to see that even in 2012 there are real artists :)

  • @SakramEleventh11 Yeah, it talks about death. Amy said in an NME interview: "It's like from the person's perspective that's moving on to the next life."

  • so it was not inspired on her sister, otherwise she wouldn't have performed that ¬¬ D:

  • @kwtf564 The theory is that perhaps Amy has gotten past her sister's death to the point where she is comfortable performing these songs live. She is, afterall, married to a therapist who perhaps helped her to overcome the trauma of that loss. She's never spoken about whether any of the songs on this album are about her sister or not. She did, however, state that it is about the acceptance of death, which perhaps reflects a new perspective regarding the loss of her sister.

  • @darkseaofempathy Still, it's not about her sister. Amy said before that there is no song about her sister on this album.

  • AMAZING show. AMAZING night. Finally met my idol <3

  • Wow, that was amazing...They have to play this again, I completely love this song.

  • <3 I need the remaining 20 seconds, NOW! <3

  • The final part of the song kicked ass!!!

  • Awesome....sound just like the recordings they play on the radio !

  • How was the show??? Tonight in ATL!!!

  • @ChamoPeskdor They will blow your socks off. :)
