So... he wants someone who kinda sounds like Amy to sing in this song... just like he wanted a FEMALE singer for his new band who looked kinda like Amy... huh. -_-
This song is about amy and 10_22 is the day he left the band he wrote this song that night and he said "Moody: Actually, there was one song, called "10/22," that when I wrote it, I thought it was about Amy. Then about three weeks ago, I realized it wasn't about Amy at all — it was about me, and I was projecting feelings I had about myself the day I left onto her. So that song was about the night I left the band. It's going to sound like I'm bitching about [her] but it's not."
It could be he could not sing that well at that time. Just like playing an instrument, vocals can totally be learned (although some people naturally already can do it, unlike instruments)
Ben was the one who made evanescence sound "cool", mixing electronic and industrial sounds, with strings and rock influences, all mixed and blended togehter wonderfully.
Since he left, evanescence became pretty 'corny' as far as itcomes to their sound and compositions (ben composed alot too), almost a clear imply that Ben was responsible for much more in evanescence than often is thought.
Ben is underrated , and was the one that made evanescence great
@PowerRedBull thats not right at all!!! I love Ben and his way of writing.. He will always be a part of Evanescence but Amy's talent is what makes band go on.. she is magic and the music she makes gets better and better.. Put togethere where the best, but Amy still grows and I think that he is kept to memories..
@PowerRedBull thats not right at all!!! I love Ben and his way of writing.. He will always be a part of Evanescence but Amy's talent is what makes band go on.. she is magic and the music she makes gets better and better.. Put togethere were the best, but Amy still grows and he remains the same (think about we are the fallen music)..
I'm sorry to say, but all what you're saying is purely an opinion. The band getting better, amy being what the band moves(ed) on? I think their music has lost being intersting after Ben left. I do not say it's because of him, but there could be a relationship there. Now Evanescence does not sound distinctive anymore, sound wise. No more electronic sounds mixed with rock elements etc. But as I said "I think", since it's nothing more than an opinion..
I like the kind of instumentations he makes. Also has the mood of this song a nice flow (like most of his songs). He has great producing talent. I do hear autotune though in his voice all along. However, I have no problems with it, since it makes everyone's pitch totally perfect
@PowerRedBull He might very well be using autotune.but so does Amy Lee & many other artists out there.Autotune is only able to be used if you are ALMOST on pitch but need just a slight correction every once in awhile.The thing about autotune is that if you're WAY off, it'll correct you to the note above or below what you're trying to hit & then you'll just sound terrible.So if you have no talent, no amount of autotune will help you.So you have to have talent to even use it in the first place :)
Yes I know, I have autotune..if you sing very far off pitch, it becomes very clear you're using it, and the sound becomes very "synthetic' sounding, where you can clearly hear the autotune "forcing" the pitch bend to another pitch
@CanadaBunny I don't know about Fallen, but Amy Lee never used autotune on The Open Door. All the vocals are purely her. The producer, Dave Fortman, provided that piece of information. I know I read it somewhere.
@InvaderExodus She still sounds like shit on TOD. Her voice changed between albums, and for the worse. She lost her ability to enunciate, as heard on the song All That I'm Living FFFAAaaaAAAAuGGHhhh
@MasakoXer So I can listen to her barely manage to squeeze out a note? I can't see your staaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAAaAAAaaaaaaH. With an H. because god forbid the cunt manages to say the r at the end of the word.
And that's just the complaint I have about that song that DOESN'T have to do with the mediocre inanity of the lyrics or the mind-numbing monotony of the guitars.
Lmao, are you actually trying to make me laugh? and like I said before. You are a straight up dumbass. Nothing you just said makes an ounce of sense. TOD is a beautfiul album. Sold millions of copies. Gtfo and learn the fact that TOD is a beast album.
Every song on there is beautiful. That's a fact. get over it...
@dotcake So what about in the last chorus of SWQ when like every word was pronounced like "ow"? Don't scream any m-OW my l-OW-ve cause OW-l I w-OW-nt is you. She totally lost her ability to enunciate between Fallen and TOD and thusly, even the better songs on TOD are cringe-worthy at times.
@Semirhage666 You can see it like that but really I'd say it's the emotion she must be feeling right there and then recording. The meaning of the song is from when Amy was being stalked a few times and so the song has the perspective of the stalker and of Amy and the way she sings really captures the torment the stalker must be feeling, so instead of wanting it to sound normal it sounds more dramatic and I think it's just personal preference in that song
i don't care about the personal details of both parties the only thing i care about is the talent. ben and amy both possess talent and are very good at what they do. this is a good song told from his p.o.v. and the musical composition is pretty dang on good.
i gotta say... amy lee said that ben moody wanted to go "pop" and more of the typical stuff you hear on the radio and her and the bad didn't.... this doesnt rly sound to me like he wanted that in any way...
@iLOVEChihuahuas123 I'm sure Amy Lee is indifferent to WATF. She probably wants Ben to succeed in whatever he does..just like he wants her to succeed.
Listening to this song, I got it clear, He's the success of the Fallen, but even this way I like Amy too. And I wanna believe that I'll see they playing together again one day...
Tell me again you're ****** up excuses, Dying fighting a life of abuse, When fame is your game, You say I'm to blame, But you know, but you know... This moment carries my last hesitation, Seducing anger to haste my separation, This solemn piece of a guilty net it grows, so cold, Your every breath now strengthens my affliction, My tears have faded, all hope of your conviction, You were never the martyr you pretended to be, And you know...
How they love you now, Tear drops rain down, Nobody cares, nobody cares, Tell me again you're ****** up excuses, Dying fighting a life of abuse, When fame is your game, You say I'm to blame, But you know, but you know... You know... How they love you now... You know... Tear drops rain down... You know... How they love you now...
ben moody was the real soul of evanescence and amy is the body . i want both to be together as a living thing

Even though Ben Moody wrote lots of Evanescence's songs,
Amy still has the best voice in their genre.. Better than most singers out there.
She is unique and if it wasn't for her amazing and haunting vocals,
Evanescence wouldn't be what it is today..
