[IroNSol88]

Makes me cry. Fuck.

[smildonfatalis1]

The last lyrics are wrong its

"God just don't hate me. Because I'll die if you do"

[revilo178]

There is an action planned to go on the bring me to life video on July 2nd to raise the number of views. Maybe you guys are interested in participating in it.

[SahnemitHase]

nur geil  liebe es !!!!

[SahnemitHase]

nur geil  liebe es !!!!

[bluedge77]

beautiful......

[aaronaustin31]

This song is on the sound asleep ep. Never made it to the fallen album. Only one song did whisper. Same with the Origin album only a few made it to the Fallen album.

[revilo178]

@aaronaustin31 this song was in the Evanescence EP as well, even before the sound asleep EP. This latter EP, on the other hand, includes a wonderful shorter version with syntesizers.

"Understanding" is, if I'm not misinformed, the second song ever composed by Ev, straight after "Solitude", and was written by Ben Moody.

[iloveJDB1772]

I love this song

[HanTisha]

amy lee...amy lee...

[pinkrocks1988]

[123456gege1]

eu adoro a emy lee a banda evanescence é tam da horaaaa

[nonioiminette]

This version is the fucking best!

[randomawesomeness57]

6 people don't understand.

[GnarledStaff]

This would kick ass in a hard rock version!

[Marta666ism]

Ate pode ser uma das vossas primeiras musicas mas esta muito louca...

aserio adorei...

Não parem

[christiangoth84]

Lyrics at the end are "because I'll die if you do," not "because I'm tired of it, too."

[caiexaf]

Fackin' Melaconlinkin' good.

[RockabillyChase]

As her loyal fans, we've had express permission from Amy Lee and Ben Moody to download their "Pre-Evanescence" work for free since 2003. those of you that are interested in downloading Amy Lee's Pre-Evanescence material, you can do so for free when you google up "evanescence reference." It's the fourth link down when I performed the search myself to check. I don't blame you guys for wishing to download her songs. In my opinion, her earlier material I believe is her best work.

[GnarledStaff]

@RockabillyChase I love you

[SaradThamia]

The first time I ever heard this song was on a Star Wars fan vid. It was done very well and I fell in love with this song. I really love when it picks up at like 4:40. Great song. Thanks for posting. ;)

[jetfire1984]

hammer top das lied^^

[rwbterminator]

they should rerelease it on their new album!!! and make a music vid 4it!!!

[MissafroditeD]

one of the best songs ever

[deathblade1154]

i idolize this woman she is soooooo amazing

[Thehighschool8888]

what album is this from origin, fallen or open door

[RaBidMoNk3y]

@Thehighschool8888

I believe it's Origin.

[Thehighschool8888]

@RaBidMoNk3y thanks! :) 

[RaBidMoNk3y]

@Thehighschool8888

I believe it's Origin.



[MissRehyan]

I guess, that she is saying at the end: Please, God dont hate me. Because I´ll die if you do.

[alessis266]

es la cancion mas hermosa de evanescence!!!

[Archdirewolf]

I want to make my first child with this song playing in the background!

[Thehighschool8888]

@Archdirewolf this and lose control

[fa51983]

la verdad que esta muy bueno el tema... y a amy le doy todo el dia de corrido jajaja

[sagradoish]

is so amazing the way this song is reproduced, her voice is superhuman.

send me flying every time I listen to it.

[caiexaf]

não acredito que teve gente que não curtiu essa música épica.

i just can't belive, there's ppl who don't like this epic music !

[job1181]

This is one of their best songs and sadly it got no radio play and was over looked so many times. But nearly everything Amy Lee sings turns out beautiful.

[Karemelja55a]

i love Amy Lee so damn much, wonder if we could find another girl like her.

this song is great.

[lilevanescencefreak2]

Amy is awesome and Ev is great!

[belozero69]

it is god please dont hate me because i'll die if you do you can clearly understand it in the movie when a man loves a woman meg ryan is telling andy garcia not to hate her for pushing down maybe their kid or something i never seen the movie but seen a clip with her saying it

[nightarchie]

This is the best song of Evanescence...The most amazing lyrics I've ever heard..The most beautiful music...

[isfreakythegirl]

este tema es hermoso

la entrada con esos teclados tan medievales y goticos

la voz perfecta de Amy

la letra

todo

[EatMyCrayonzz]

Part of me really loves this song but part of me really hates it because it makes me feel so empty, Just reminds me that though my friends helped me and sometimes I feel so much better. I'm still not over 'this'

[loyalkid]

I agree with you.

[lilevanescencefreak2]

i like this song. i also like the acoustic version too they're both good

[GottaLoveWebkinzlid]

the pictures scared me but ya its just makeup lol :/

[whatever13130]

das schönste lied überhaupt

[Jescm124]

This is gona be my funeral song

[evanescence9314]

how do you know lol?

[rwbterminator]

@Jescm124 mine 2 or my immortal

[Janetfsho]

@Jescm124 IKR! The beginning is soo funeral-y

[xericaemogirlxx]

please god don't hate me because i'll die if you do because i';; die if you do

[Sam09619]

@ hapibth0pel3ss it's actually "because i'll die if you do"

close but not quite

[4everKaulitzTwinz]

You guys(if u like tokio hotel) need to watch Bill Kaulitzs car accident part one...this song fits it in so many ways this song is like one of my life songs....like what i live in my life...my description...long live Amy Lee & Tokio Hotel...

[VladimirRothar]

"...but the imprint is always there. Nothing is ever really forgotten"

[hapibth0pel3ss]

its "because i'm dying to" not " because im tired of it to".

[ariserrocks]

@dotcake my friend molly has that condition to. im really sorry): i couldnt imagine not being able to understand lyrics, i would die.

[SweetSacrifice25]

The new cd has more of a Celtic feel. Amy Lee wanted to try something new, she said she wouldn't even call the new stuff Evanescence. I'll bet it won't sound like anything she's done before.

[AnimeGuy9]

I hope to God their new album has songs like this one. That in and of itself would make my 2010. Easily one of the best Evanescence songs in exsistence.

[PokefanLoojopop]

i thought that last part was "because I'll die if you do" but whateva.

GO AMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! truly inpirational.

I only wish i could buy all of her songs...

[Planetaryy]

Wow she is so deep and emotional. So totally unique oh my gawd...

i want to be just liek herrrrr.

[SweetSacrifice25]

Amy Lee is Amazing. I hate it when people make fun of her, jealous sickos.

[rwbterminator]

@SweetSacrifice25 ikr who would make fun of her she has a beautiful voice and isnt plastic

[123456gege1]

@SweetSacrifice25 

[dannyclark1973]

@SweetSacrifice25 Making a good fun of her through and however from Jesus Christ is not bad.

[AymeHitari]

@SweetSacrifice25 Who made fun of her?!? Are they on crack or something?

[aaronaustin31]

@AymeHitari No they are deaf can't hear any good music.

[Bulby93]

@SweetSacrifice25 people make fun of her? First ive heard

[jesshilaryna95]

I love this song!!!!!!so amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

[PutrescentSoul]

saddest evsong EVER!

[MZ3yeLiner]

Hmm.. I heard the acoustic version of this before i heard this version... this is awesome but i still prefer the acoustic :)

[svlust06]

one of the best songs by Evanescence!!!

[spacecalander]

Awesome, but i wish i knew where to buy

[hapibth0pel3ss]

the beginning of the song reminds me one of a7x 's songs

[ric7702]

[ALICF8712]

[avalonw7]

[RJBMusic]

[CatAngel77]

This song is one of the most beautiful from Evanescence. Never another song will make me feel the way I do with this one...

[CatocalaLacrymosa84]

"Because I´ll die if you do" is the right lyric!!!

[lolaspakola]

i cant find this song on itunes! how can i get this song!?!?!?!?!?!?

[Ilovekirby]

Perhaps find it on the dreaded "L" word?

[mmfen4e1]

Can't wash it all away

Can't wish it all away

Can't cry it all away

Can't scratch it all away

(Can't fight it all away)

(Can't hope it all away)

Can't scream it all away

"But the imprint is always there. Nothing is ever really forgotten."

"Because I'm dying too."

[DJJT365]

lol i almost forgot how much i love evanescence until i heard this song again. This song = My Happiness :)

[00BlackHeart00]

it's sooo saaad and awesomee :')

[Roxane1178272]

this song is everything about me. She finds the words that i cant even begin to imagine, yet it describes me so well...

[rosanaemely]

i send this song to my boyfriend everything i needed to say to him is in this song

[Roxane1178272]

HOW DO THEY MAKE A SONG SO BRILLIANT AND SO SAD?!?!?!?!?! AWESMENESS!!!!!! O but ya this song makes me cry....realeses life in me....brilliant.....so beautiful.....god please dont hate me...because I'll die if you do....this song describes me in ways i can't even find myself enough to explain.

[ved3ta]

love this song ! ;(

[hadesblackbloodangle]

u said at the end "Because I'm tired of it too"

its really "Because I'll die if you do"

and u were rong on the lyrics in 4:58-5:29

i love this song!!

[inesita209]

I think its: because i'm dying too

[hadesblackbloodangle]

nah im pretty sure it because ill die if you do

[jetluvr32]

I thought it is "Because I'm dying to." I'm pretty sure...not being rude, just thought that's what it was. :)

[hadesblackbloodangle]

eh u have to listen real close but i can see where u get because im dying too but if you listen real closly to the words u can hear her say because ill die if u do. lol srry im not trying to be a bitch

[moimadamoiselle]

wat zegt ze op het laatst nou?

want ik heb verschillende songteksten gelezen van dit liedje.

'because I'm tired of it to'

'because I'll die if you do' of

'because I'm dying to'

ik versta het echt niet ;)

[westoak2010]

rip dylan n eric i <3 u 4eva

i miss u c in heaven

[xXenemyxlinesXx]

i agree, they were victims too, no matter who disagrees

[westoak2010]

i no rite they were bullied ppl aint got a heart

[xXenemyxlinesXx]

your right, just look at the facts, they were driven to that point

[Heidikins017]

I love this song. (:

But just a heads up... at the beginning where you said "shame we idolize"... it's actually "shame we hide our eyes". Just thought I would point that out. But great job overall. (:

5/5

[westoak2010]

rip dylan n eric i <3 u

[AvatarTLABFreak]

[collinslfc]

Love this song.

And nice intro to Freudians theory of repression. =)

[krewhead]

On the first "because im tired of it too"

doesnt she say "god please forgive me"

If you listen very carefully it sounds like shes saying it.

[deanafriend]

no she says god please dont hate me

[Tyliss93]

Eum... I can be wrong but I read somewhere that it was.. :

"God, please don't hate me"

"Because I'll die if you do." bis

[BlackBloodBrothers0]

Yeah, you're right

[deanafriend]

ohh well i have the lyrics and stuff so yeah but ithink im right

[LeeRocksAmy]

[ToBriZ]

[justrescueme]

xD

that's unexpected.. I like it too, but it sounds so depressingly sad. :p

[gfe702]

I still love this vid everytime I watch it.

[CloisFever]

It's "Because I'm dying too" NOT "Because I'm tired of it too"

[aletini]

I agree. It's very subtle, but you can hear it at the beginning if you pay attention

[inesita209]

yeah, you are right

[RebelstarDawn]

... actually.... it's "Because I'll die if you do"

[Alexisrawr15]

yeah thats what i thought it said when i first heard it

[gkn5]

5/5, favorited!

[EvanescenceKrazed]
