Before I wrote the song "Imaginary" I wrote Self Control which was recorded by Laura Branigan. The two songs have something in common, besides me..."Where the raindrops as they're falling tell a story" - Imaginary..."Before the morning comes, A story's told" - Self Control. Self Control inspired me to also write Lose Control performed by Evanesence.
"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 re-create that VIRGIN sensation - that almost numbing exhilaration - of witnessing something NEW and different and exciting in the theater FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME." Review of A Chorus Line, Frank Rich, New York Times Oct 1, 1983 inspiration for me to name a band Evanescence & write Like A Virgin for Madonna
I honestly like this origin version better than the other one. it sounds better on this one. Great job to the one who made this video and to @EvanescenceVEVO they made the song.
When i listen to that part over and over its like i can feel myself fading in and out of this physical world and into another realm. So Haunting!! I love it.
this is my most favorite song from evanescence. i love amy lee with all my heart. she is inspirational and knows how to make me feel better with her music she writes.
This is awesome!! Thanks for uploading it! Hey, have you ever tried polyvore? Your artwork looks a lot like a polyvore set (and pv is not just for fashion sets - there is a huge network of artistic sets only). Just thought you might want to check it out. Lots of Ev groups on there too with contests for best art. Check it out if you want: polyvore.com
I honestly can't decide which version I like better. The one on Fallen is so amazing, but this rocks my world, too. Just goes to show what a great band they are.
@GothFaery65 well origin was never sold in stores..but you could probably get it on amazon...except some people sell it for as much as 99 bucks...but thats for the unopened copy...if you get the used copy...you could get it for about 25 bucks..maybe higher...it depends... =)
holy crap! i like this version better than the commercially produced "Fallen" version. I don't know who did their recording in the beginning (them?) but, whoever it was is genius!
I love Evanescence!!! and this song really is like my life. I hope that her and the band get back together. But i think she's great solo so what ever. I love this song :D
i like this version so much better than the cd version! this is amazing! i like the beginning a lot. im deffinetly planning on getting that sheet music for the piano this is amazing i love it! good job :)
I like this better than the Fallen version...but then again i'm a sucker for a good piano intro :) not only that i think this is done better and written better
I like the sound of this version more than the other one. But it actually depends...sometimes I prefer this one, sometimes I prefer the other one - both of them are coll
Nice arangement, kinda trippy, a shame that that verse became a missing verse, it was fitting to the song, but the part that was at the begining had more effect in the middle, and made the song more trippy,
I would, trippy trippr trippy, not tripple trippy, just plain trippy, not that there's anything plain about the sone either, haha, I'm rambling so ay something simple now... haha
I like the piano in this version better, but I like the finished sound to her voice and the more complex sound in the other. *shrug* Just preference, really.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
na this was on a album when they were a relgion rock group then they began goth music this is the orginal version of it the albums hard to find though
Thanks! It's great that they like the pictures =) ... All I do with photoshop, imagination and patience haha xD ... They are in my fotolog At the bottom of the video ( Forgive me for my bad English ) xD Traten de comentar en español porfavor jeje
I like the beginning of this version, but yeah..it's the same as the bridge in the other version and I like that one better!..it sounds so awesome when the guitar fades and the piano starts playing!
I love this vid! There are so many new pics i havn't seen that look so amazing! 5 stars!

One of my favourite Evanescence songs! It has a nice combination of guitars, piano and the voice of Amy Lee!
I like its lyrics very much:
,,In my field of paper flowers,
And candy clouds of lullaby,
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me.
If you need to leave the world you live in,
Lay your head down and stay a while.
Though you may not remember dreaming,
Something waits for you to breathe again.''
