  • I have not listened to Evanescence for, I even dare say, several years now, but today I was very depressed, and the first song I typed into the search bar was this one. I'm not Christian and have never in any way felt that this was a christian song - all I felt was that it has been able to fix me, if that makes any sense, wiht its beauty. Undoubtedly its an amazing song.

  • Dear lord, this song sounds so depressing despite it's beautiful message.

  • I don't know y its called October.. anyone know?

  • Uh... This says nothing about god. She could be talking about anyone.

  • this song, while it is gorgeous, i find it hard to listen to. it seems like it is about christianity and last summer i went to a Christian camp and i learned about God for an entire week. When I came home i spent almost another whole week on the verge of tears because I believed the camp when they said that everyone is a child of God. I just felt so guilty because I didnt believe everything they said and I thought that made me a bad person. :'(

    it is a beautiful song though. :)

  • @TheIsobel51  ANyhing wrong with not believing them?

  • @TheIsobel51 .. it doesn't make you a bad person. And Amy Lee is christian but the band itself isn't a christianity band - personally I don't feel it is about God, I feel it's about a real person (sorry for those who believe in god - I am not trying to demean your beliefs - just to explain mine.). I agree with the rest - it's a really beautiful song<3

  • all these emotions.. this music ist medic for me, but its pain too

    i wish i coul forget the past, but thats it what make me to what i am... no there a 2 friends ,, i need them but i will losse them.. im lying on the floor

  • This is how I felt,just before I was saved (turned to Christ) I knew I needed Him.

  • muhteşem bir şarkı...

  • this song is so beautiful and you have chosen some wonderful pictures to help express it, where did you find those pictures?

  • At one time, bird-feathers on angel-wings just started annoying me. Because anything which resembles a mammal should have bat like "wings", which actually are elongated fingers with skin in between them.

  • any news about upcoming album? 

  • @njnikusha lol

  • brings tears to my eyes. every. damn. time.

  • amoo de mais  evanescence pra sempre

  • This is beautiful, but i can see why it didn't get into Evanescence EP; it doesn't compare with the other songs on the album.

  • J'aime vraiment Evanescence depuis que je suis jeune j'aime sa.

  • whoever put the pictures together for this did an exquisite job

  • @Mercop8 agreed its beautiful

  • We ALL are broken in some way..

  • 9.10.2011.....

  • Where did you get theses beautiful pictures?????????

  • I want to see Ben back with Evanescence his part of the writing was so GREAT!!

  • beautiful <3

  • I'm so sorry too....

  • The best song ever *-*

  • Lunacy , she's singing to her father, heavenly father. Pretty evident, but morbid works too lol

  • this song makes me think about self injury, I usually think of it like she's singing to a razorblade.....

    that's just the morbid side of me.

  • esta cancion es muy buena la melodia me recuerda el dia de mi adios de este mundo pero dije perdon no mas el estar solo es mejor perdon.........

  • @NiiiNaaa96 Well, let me know if you find any songs called "March" will ya? :)

  • amazing,very very amazing

  • My friend hates Evanescence, he thinks thier music is too depressing. I told him if you listen to thier music backwards you can hear her wisper things like.. "kill yourselfffff" and "death is a relief from your burdensssss"

  • I My BirthDay In October :D

  • Such a sad song its so hauntingly beautiful

  • WHEN CAN I GET THIS SONG ON ITUNES!?!?!?!

  • @BCBKCheyne You can't. Its like a VERRYYY old EP. Lol :P Its not gonna be on itunes. I had to dwnload this and others from the internet. Sucks, I know :/

  • @FrankIerosWifee you can download all of the old stuff from evanescencereference dot info slash music. and unlike iTunes its free. How does that *suck*? :-)

  • @revilo178 i meant it sucks for some people because Its not on iTunes. I guess its better that you don't have to buy it... lol. i don't know. Now that I read it, I sound supid lol, :)

  • it's sad song for me but it's beautiful omg T.T

  • The pix matches the song

  • October is the month of my birthday!!!! :D

  • </3 .

  • I want to give Amy a spermbath.

  • @0ddler LOL!

  • how did you find the pictures?

  • Where do you get your Pictures?

  • It's incredible how vulnerable this song makes the writer (assuming it's Amy Lee?) Because who wants to admit that they've fallen from grace? The beauty is that we all do, and I love how open the lyrics are saying that she DOES make mistakes, but wants to reconnect. Even Christians are imperfect.. we ALL are, no matter upbringing or religion. And it's beautiful how broken this is. It's something people from all walks of life can relate to. <3 Thank you, Amy Lee.

  • @ChristinaShoresXo im atheist but the statement u made on this video could not have been more true :)

  • This is the song my fiance and I will have for our first dance at our wedding. We were away from each other for 21 years before we reconnected. Also, both of us were born in October- 1 year and 2 days apart.

  • @cruelblueskies God bless your love and happiness...

  • @rustyrunaway why? Im a guy and I cry to this song

  • I've been looking for this song for years.

  • @stfugtfofgt me too

  • Love Love Love this!!!! Can't sleep without hearing it... Love it too cuz i was born in October! lol

    Amy Lee got a tremendous voice! none can come across!

  • If i ever go back to being a christian...im going to sing this

  • @iceruler22 wat religion are u in now?

  • @rojah13 Athiest

  • as a guy i hate that i like this song...

  • @gabbycosman how is give unto me, understanding, bring me to life or going under christian songs? going under is about ben moody, and bring me to life is about josh hartzler. definitely not christian.

  • To clarify the things for some of you who enter this page. At the beginnings of the band, Evanescence was a christian band. They wrote some songs on that theme: "Give unto me", "October", Understanding(i'm not really sure but it seems that is a christian song) and of course "Bring me to life". Now evanescence unfortunately is not a christian band; it seems they turn up against God. Listen to "Going under" that songs says everything.

  • @gabbycosman You forgot Tourniquet. I think.

  • @gabbycosman christianity is a cult. evanescence was never christian, thats what david hodges wanted, good thing he left from seeing this! "october" is the only evanescence song to ever even come close to being directly about god (using metaphores like in "touniquiet" and "the only one" do not count) and not even "october" seems to be revolving around christianity, it could easily be about a lover. typical christian trying to make everything about your cult.

  • @sTapleEVA Amy Lee is a christian and has admitted some of her songs have been about God/christianity. However, they didn't want to become a Christian band so moved away from that. In my opinion, this seems about God, but you may see it as about a lover. It's about how you see it. Please consider that before bashing other people's religions

  • @MissDaintyK "religions", more like "religion"(but i would call it "cult")! And when i see people trying to make songs about their cult, it ruins the song for me, because i can not concentrate on what i saw it as in the first place, from my disgust.

  • @sTapleEVA im not gonna bash ur disbelief, so dont bash my belief. if you have a problem, feel free to keep it inside ur head.

  • @OMGILOVETARTS well im not going to, lol, this is a public forum, you have the freedom to express your opinion, and i have the freedom to express my disgust with that opinion

  • Why is this song called October?

  • @ThatVideoMakingKid idk. maybe it was the month she went back to Christanity

  • the photos are beyond kewl!!!! ♥ I love this song ♥ It's beyond uhhh-ma-zing

  • i love this song so very much. <3

  • This is a beautiful song :)

    I was reminded of this song today by my great friend izzy :) xxx

  • WOW... such a beautiful song...

  • i like it..where'd ya get those picture??

  • And btw, "falling away from faith" is the natural course of action when your fucking eyes are open. Xianity is full of lies, and anyone who keeps their head anywhere but the farthest depths of their ass will realize that. Oh, how dare she come to her senses? She must have no shame at all!

    Really, it's people who push beliefs like those on others that should be ashamed.

  • @Valkyr333 amazing song. so Valkyr333, are you a producer, or do you own a record company? If not, why not keep the negative opinions to yourself. Post a song of yours, like you have any.

  • @Valkyr333 Blah Blah Blah. -_____-

  • There is nothing more pathetic than people who believe they have to apologize to deity for anything... Except of course those who believe it constitutes rock music. Honestly, I love Evanescence, but Amy really disappoints me with shit like this. Xians are so trapped in their vicious cycle of repression, failure, guilt and repeat that they don't realize they have strength outside of a so-called god who advocates rape, murder, slavery, child abuse and more. Epic fail, epic fail. -.-

  • @Valkyr333 So you can write a better song than this? If so we would be commenting on your songs, but you're not as talented, so.........

  • @Valkyr333 you don't really seem above the people your critique. hmmm... if there's any love in the world that's good it certainly does not seem to be coming from you.

  • @Valkyr333

    You've just proven from your comment that you know nothing about God, Religion or Amy

    please refrain from embarassing yourself in the future...

  • @Valkyr333 SHUT THE HECK UP! omg i cannot believe u just said that. thts just a horrible thing to say

  • @Valkyr333 If you'd ever read the Bible or been to church you'd know that God and Jesus don't advocate anything of the sort. Just because you may have had a bad experience doesn't mean you have to tear apart others' beliefs.

  • whew thankfully they got away from this kind of music or they would have never made it big.

  • why is it called october?

  • @Kiyoko4173 yea i've been asking myself that question too...

  • @Kiyoko4173 yea i've been asking myself that question too... does anyone know?

  • I just love this song...Amy has such an amazing voice and the message in this is wonderful. I'm singing it for a musical audition tomorrow :) I'd like to get an a' capella version on my channel soon.

  • this song was actually written as an apology to god for straying from her faith due to her music and career. she sung it in a church with a gospel choir behind her. it' a song asking for forgiveness from god, not from a boyfriend or anything like that. but, however you wanna relate to it is fine anyway, as music is for everyone anyway <3

  • can u send me the video!!!!! XD that'd be the best!!!!! thxxxxx

  • what? the video to the church singing thing? there is no video. :U it's just what I found out from researching the song.

  • oh poo :( XD thts ok where did u find tht?

  • I dunno, some website. I was looking for lyrics and one of the links explained why the song was made. |D

  • @VocaloidIchigo not to be argumentative, but this song is so old Amy didn't yet have a "career" back then...

  • Gr8 job!

    Wonderful pictures!

    This song is sooo beautiful!

    I love it<3

    Thnx 4 uploading !!!

  • Hey guys, this is not just a sad song. It's an apology to God from Amy. She wrote it when she fell away from her Christian faith. Listen to the lyrics very carefully. And yes it is a beautiful song. This song is an acoustic sung in an actual church in Little Rock Arkansas. The people you hear in the background are the church worship band. X

  • HA! I was right! that's what I thought when I first found this on my Ipod(older sister dumped all her songs on it when I got it and I had no idea what she had). that's amazing. I adore this song, and I sing it all the time.

  • @mrsthirdday It's not really an abology letter God. I understand that you would think that but you have to realize that was Ben Moody's thing. She even says in interviews that shes not a christain band. This is about being in love and being so consumed by it you give up everything to be with that person, or at least in my opinon that is. But eh, who knows? I could be right, I could be wrong.
