  • @dragontooth81 Well, yes, there's nothing wrong with utilizing new technology and drawing from the material of masters, but one has to wonder if Mozart's intentions and ideas that were present when he wrote his Requiem are being thoughtfully worked with here, instead of just being ridden to lend Evanescence's material artificial depth. If this encourages people to go and listen to the classics, then kudos to Evanescence, but compared to how it was originally constructed, this *is* kind of tacky.

  • I cant change who i am

  • I wish, i could change who I am, just for ye.

  • blame it on me, set yeself free

  • I never really played Final Fantasy but I have always loved videos about them I don't know why and when Evanescence is on the video it makes it a bonus to me!

  • "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.

  • @furiousmat I can tell you right now that I listen to a *lot* of Mozart, and if he had wanted the Lacrimosa to have a drum track and a breathy vocalist, he darn well would have written them in. His Lacrimosa is an expression of man's creeping fear of death- precisely as he heard it- and I find myself struggling to hear that underneath these needless additions. It's not... *ugly* music, but it's over-the-top and unnecessary, and it's certainly not doing Mozart a favor.

  • @Pentarches I think evanescence did a good job on this song ^_-

  • @PentarchesThe biggest fools are ones who take others for imbeciles! You make some BS opinion and present it as if it were actually Mozarts? I listen to a lot of Mozart and I can say he emulated (borrowed) styles and compositions from many other artists in his time. All artists do, any that would say otherwise is lying. I'm cirtain if Wolfy were alive today, he would make full use of any tech that wasnt avail 300 yrs ago. I really hope EV inspires people to discover the classics for themselves!

  • God i hate this game but the song is nice

  • lol at most people saying "poor mozart". most of them posers don't even listen to Mozart and just try to look fancy. Truth is they found themselves on a video from Evanescence and they knew damn well what Evanescence is. Mozart should be glad that he's had enough success with an unfinished composition for it to be reproduced so long after his death. I say Congrats Mozart.

  • I love this song! <3 

  • I love evanescence... More than you can imagine.

  • to be or not to be... not to be...

  • Honestly, given his character, if Mozart had been born today, he most likely would be a rock musician of some particularly insane flavor...

  • I know it's not, but i swear that looks like Pan and Trunks!

  • she makes mozart even cooler YAY AMY LEE!!!!

  • Mozart in this song is the only good aspect. Lacrymosa is the best funeral theme, and Evanesence made this music poor, not Mozart

  • I like how Squall's Hair is so Shiny! XD

  • wat game is this

  • 3:22 MSN lol

  • Is that Tifa?! I thought she liked Cloud?!

  • @animefan8293 In the blue? Thats Rinoa xD

  • @PoisonousMushroom101 Ya.... I'm smart xD Oh well.... my brain was fried at the time xD

  • all is new that has been forgotten. Those who wish for the classical musicians should at least appreciate what amy lee does. P.S she is not trying to be classical or "gothic rock". Her niche is untouchable by virtue of her unreachable skill. but w/e mozarts gonna mozart, bachs gonna bach

  • My favorite song. <3

  • Evanescence are not bad...but they are a copycat of what Europe was doing ten years before them. Moxart was a genius and unfortunately in an era when Lil wayne and Lady Gaga is the cream of the crop it makes me realize how poor music is today compared to Mozarts era. Artistry is no longer appreciated...image is. So, so sad.

  • Game was fun song is great!

  • The game and the song are well matched. :) beautiful.

  • when will people stop using these crappy Evanescence songs in videos it's like every fifth video is bring me to life, or this song or going under.

  • @julianmilam

    in the famous words of almost everyone's mother..."If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all"

    and now my bitch:

    When will people stop bitching about things like this? Is it so hard to avoid clicking on the link to a certain song if it's a song you don't want to listen to? I mean, it does say, "Larcymosa - Evanescence" at the top of the page.

  • @imperatorklaus my mother always said say whatever is on your mind. And yes it is hard to avoid clicking on something when the video has a game you recently played in it.

  • @imperatorklaus Very true :D

  • What game is this??

  • @maxblack1221 final fantasy 8

  • This scene goes perfectly with the song. I should know, I was playing it whilst listening to this ;P

  • AWESOME vid!!! absolutely love it <3 love evanescence, love SquallxRinoa, love ff8, love Lacrymosa and mozart :D amazing!!

  • its sad how people cant apreciate music. evanescence did not ruin this song, its an opinion but i believe a singers best wish is thet hes music transends time adjusting to the new generation, evanescence integrated his work into her lyrics making a brand new song.

  • o_o

  • This song sounds different from the original, like different guitars on some parts

  • can someone tell me what happen in this final fantasy? love evanscence and some of mozart work! awesome video!

  • Poor Mozart yeah... Final fantasy and Evanescence are ruining his music.

  • I like the song, I've actually performed Lacrymosa with a Regional Honors Choir, and must say... Mozart is a musical genius. Gotta give Amy some props here for making it her own. Love the song and her version. Nicely done AMV as well

  • amazing mix!! love ff8

  • this song is awesome and i agree "realitysuckz23"............i mean i like mozart i even know how 2 play a couple of his songs on piano.........but 2 b honest this one is better than mozarts.........also one more thing from 'IftIitm' ......Imitation is the greatest compliment.

  • seriously people! I personally don't care if they stole some parts of the song from mozart! its just the background music anyways. i don't see what everyones getting all worked up about just enjoy the song. the video was also nice.

  • So many people saying poor Mozart. Why? Imitation is the greatest compliment.

  • @lftlitm Yeah right on. I love classical music,but these kids are die hard classical music fairies.

    kindly click on the back arrow to get to any other page that doesn't have Amy Lee

    "butchering" your precious Lacymosa.

    Jeez, you bitches make me want to cry.

  • Love the song! Can I get a download link please??

  • y do u need a download link when their is youtube converter.......its as easy as 1, 2 and 3.just type it in in google

  • @percyhudson01 i got it already. thanks though :D

  • Also, this video was well made, don't ruin it with your synicism..

  • Look. We all know that Mozart is amazing. We know that his song is better. This is a pop song based on it. You can call it rape, I call it the fact that Amy didn't retitle it. Her mistake, but it sounds good too, so take the parking cone out of your *explitive deleted*.

  • Yes, YOU appear to know, but do you think that a majority knows? I doubt it. To me it looks like this band get a hit out of harvesting someone elses work? I accept that this is the reality in the commercial league, but should they be praised for it? She didnt just forget to rename it, they have stolen parts from the song (just listen to the intro, chorus etc). Why don´t you take the Amy-shaped cone out of YOUR *ss instead...

  • This song is an absolute fucking rape on Mozart´s masterpiece. Listen to the original instead....retarded christians *sigh*.

  • Christians? How do you figure?

  • How about "We hope to express through our music that Christianity is not a dogmatic set of rules" (Paraphrasing Ben Moody)?

    How about all the christian marketing channels (yeah, like they didn´t know). Maybe they used that image to lure religious people to buy their crappy music, and that deserves some respect, I conceed. They got big because Christians promoted them, that is the bottom line.

  • this..is final fantasy 8....if u think its a nice game try it out....if u dont have a playstation or ps2....it doesnt matter..u dont need one...just get a playstation emulator....and download the game iso....idk...how 2 explain...message me...if you want to know more...there is also.....final fantasy 8 for pc...if u dont feel like getting the emulator......anywayz...msg. me

  • @percyhudson01 Complicated way of saying download a Emulator, then get a pirated version of this game from the internet lol

  • maybe its complicated for you........and the games are easy to download your just not looking at the right places..on the web...anywayz the emulator is easy to download just one download is all it takes everything is all ready their....i could give you the links if you want...msg. me if u want the links....the games are easy to download...and i say this..DONT DOWNLOAD THE GAMES FROM PIRATE BAY OR OTHER TORRENT SITES..get them from the internet

  • i never said it was complicated for me im just saying you went the long way roung to say something like that..and i dowload form piratebay its simple >.> just go for the one witht he most Seeds..no viruses then

  • oh im sorry i misunderstood...but when i downloaded that piratebay one...i got a spyware rogue.....and all my money and everything was gone.....on my WOW account...anywayz sorry 4 the misunderstandment

  • then lol at you for not reading the comments XD

  • awesome song..with a great game

  • One of my favorite songs by Evanescence, and my favorite game.. WIN! :p love it.

  • Poor Mozart!!!

    But nice video!

  • @umbyronco85 Why is it poor Mozart? xD

  • @umbyronco85 excuse me? her voice is amazing, i believe you have hearing problems.

  • @ForgottenMemmory No the problem is not the voice when she sing modern music is beautifull and interpretative. But the comparation with the original, CLASSICAL, piece can't be done. The original is for a chorus and is really more and more complex armonically than this. That is only one of the melodies that compose this masterpiece.

    But for an adaptation is not bad (no more than this)

  • @umbyronco85 maybe people should try and appreciate the song for itself, instead of repeating this "adaptation" thing. and btw, who in hell are any of you to speak for Mozart?

  • @revilo178 i now what your saying mozart is so cool!!!!!!!

  • wow! this was awsome! I really like the way the vid is made!

  • this vid fits very well with the song. I love it and I'm not even a Final Fantasy fan! Great job!

  • I love this song and the video is realy nice *-*

  • I get goosebumps when I watch this! :O

    It's so amazing! =]

    FAVOURITED!

  • awesome video! very beautifully done! very moving!

  • Great vid :)

  • I love it, its awesome! Nice Job ^-^

  • wow

  • Love the video. is that tifa?

  • No..That's Rinoa. Greatest heroine of all time. lol

  • looks like her, though. im not familiar with anything other than FFVII...

  • I highly suggest you learn about the other Final Fanatsies. They are great. This video has clips from Final Fantasy 8, my favorite Final Fantasy. I hope you look at them and if you do, I hope you like them! They're all very great. Good luck in your adventures. ^^

  • Oh, and if you have any questions about the other Final Fantasies, just private message me. I know a lot about 'em. o.o

  • omg!! amazed by your video!

  • I think this song goes really well with the video. It's awesome!! :D

  • NO!!!!! WHY DOES LEON HAVE TO DIE?!?!?!? (hasn't played FFVIII yet XD)

  • Great song, love the video. :)

  • A great song by my favorite band combined with my favorite video game. Love it. 5 stars and favorites.

  • How is the song ruined?? Amy Lee's vocals are beyond anything, any beauty I've heard in my 21 years alive. If you're referring to the Video itself then you've gone mad... this is an exceptionally made AMV and anyone who says otherwise has a horrid musical palette.

  • sometimes music needs to be revived. yes, mozart's was a masterpiece and a half, i love it... but amy actually wanted to be a composer, she's a fan of classical. what's sad, however is that many many people do not know that this is a remake, lol.

  • @Artimis23 /agree

  • who gives a shit grow up

  • sa pete... rien a ajouter...

  • good video! bring me to life by evanescence would go good with this too!

  • erm.. hello? She said on an interview ((amy lee)) that this was her favourite mozart piece!!! {{the piece she KINDA used in this, its more of a remix that nicking it}}

  • nice

  • That game looks cool, but I do like the song, it's very pretty

  • its an awesome game.

  • @bluezebra95

    quite an old game though

  • @bluezebra95

    It's owesome !!! :) Evanescence is a genius band !

  • beautiful song but i can only really hear lacrimosa in certain parts.

  • a stain on a musical masterpiece

  • its stolen by mozart :D :D

  • It's stolen FROM* Mozart.

    I can't say she's made excellent use of it, really.

  • yeah,,,

  • i love this song <3 this is my 2nd fave song by evanescene

  • i love this song. evanescence rock

  • they made a final fantasy 8 movie? whoa

  • ...No, those are FMVs.

  • So the male main character in this game dies?

  • No. He lives, but at the very end of this video was only the half way point of the game.

  • If only. if only.

  • the song is untouchable but they seem to have made a pretty good job..relatively.

  • well done

    great video

  • 5/5 por el amv

  • they're the only one they can do it!!!

  • i agree..

  • At least they have real taste in classical mood music. I don't think the aim was to make better then the origonal wich would be futile, so much as a theme and fulcrom to build upon. Inspiration if you will.

  • personally prefer the original

    can't change perfection to make it better

  • Quite possibly the best video game footage put to music I've ever seen.

  • great video

  • awsome vid, awsome song! ;D

  • wat game is this?? or wat....watever is it??? it looks cool

  • click "more info" in the video description

    or if you're too lazy or can't find the link then it's Final Fantasy VIII (8)

  • its a video game

  • i love this song

  • It's wonderful

  • CLOUDS AN ANGEL?!!!!!!!!!!!>:O

  • great job! how can i find this game?

  • it may be hard check online or gamestop the game is like 10 years old good luck really...

  • gredennia - They didn't "steal" anything. It was legitimate use. Read the Copyright Act.

  • if you dont like it, dont listen to it.

    easy solution.

    amy lee likes and respects mozart a lot and i think this is a great adaptation.

    dont try to ruin it for others.

  • i dont think gredennia ment it was illigemate anyway let him/her stick to their opinion... personally i think this better then the original lol

  • i love this video!!! the amv video fits in with Amy Lee's Lacrymosa perfectly. great job LoneFlower. Plus I watch this video everyday to get rid of the horrible memories of retarded gangstas and gay chavs(no offence to those out there)

  • Death to chavs

  • GREAT SONG COMPOSED BY MOZART :)

  • wow i was only looking for the song - great btw - but thought the amv was awsome, gotta hand it to ya u did a great job!
