Ben Moody is truly Talented! He's helped many famous Artist out there make #1 singles! Its just sad that he Left Evanescence... Well at least he uses his talent in the most positive way ever! I <3 Ben Moody!
Honestly "Fallen" is one of my most favorite albums of all time, and Ben Moody is a great song writer, instrumentalist, and vocalist, but Evanescence has become their own entity. Even though their music changes styles slightly each album they are still a great band. Yes, it is a shame that Amy Lee and Ben Moody aren't co-operating anymore but it was obviously for the best that the group split.
well why cant he be the lead singer to we are the fallen or at least a co lead singer or something, he actually has a nice voice he should sing more if you ask me!
Fact is Amy isn't the person we all thought she was. Ben and them are better off with Carly and solo careers. Let her keep Evanescence, after all she's the only true member left in the band. It's just an empty shell of it's former self.
hes with we are the fallen now nd hes a better writer now and the entire band gets along its like a second chance. and carly smithson is just completely AMAZING
@MetalXana yeah i play guitar and even trying to talk while playing without screwing it up is hard so i admire people who can sing and play at the same time im sure its the same with other instruments
You know why I think he left? Shuan Morgan. He left sometime around when Shuan and Amy had already started dating. Poor Ben. He and Amy were made for each other. Evanescence is still a wonderful band, but it isnt the same, and not as good. Ben was a part of something now lost.
@CatocalaLacrymosa84 it was about the situation not just amy lee. and after he started really writing it and listening to it he realize it was actually about himself. according to an mtv interview he did several years ago.
Just a little note: It should be "Your", not "You're". He's not saying, "Tell me again YOU ARE" fucked up excuses. That would make no sense, now would it? :-P
Had no idea this man could sing... Damn good artist... have a lot of respect for this guy... Really glad he left Evanescence.... Amy Lee is a BITCH!!!!
Ben Moody is really talented! I never knew ...he plays the piano (well, not just banging a few notes), he's an amazing guitarist, he has a good voice and he writes really good songs!
I always thought of him as just the other main character from Evanescence, but as a solo artist he's really really good.
I'm glad he left ... simply because clearly he enjoys this, and now that they've gone their seperate ways Ben's talents are really starting to show!
Very beautiful and powerful song. Definately about Amy Lee and it makes you wonder what type of person she really is. In this song he says "you were never the one you pretended to be" and in the Seether song supposedly written about Amy Lee he says "you sold your soul to fool the world" and of course "fake it". Hmm... I'm seeing a pattern...but this song is a poetic beautiful way to express his feelings about what was going on.
IT'S THOUGHTLESS IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE CHORUS. not fuckless. i love the song too btw. it would be awesome if he made an epic video of him leaving in that crazy slow/fast motion. and them throwing shit.
keeping bands together is friggin hard, that's why i respect the bands that stayed together for years, like the beatles, the rolling stones, the doors, lots of those awesome oldies. it sux that evenescense cudn't b that way with ben but if there was a problem with artistic differences than it was best.
@iyuppie maybe not the best examples: The Beatles were together only 10 years, with Ringo joining for the last eight, The Stones have had mutiple changes in the lineup (Mick Taylor, Brian Jones, Bill Wyman...and more) and The Doors...no need to go into that one. Perhaps U2 is a better example, the same 4 memebers since 1978 and still together today.
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 have seen Evanescence in concert 3 times. The first was with Ben Moody. He was very defensive on stage even calling some dick head in the crowd out for throwing something on stage and almost hitting Amy in the head. To me it just seems like Ben and Amy both wanted to take the band in separate directions but she had become the unofficial face of the band so it came down to Ben leaving. Now Ben has a chance to have a band the way he wanted Evanescence to be... with We Are The Fallen.
She did not you moran. Ben and Amy weren't dating for quiet awhile before she dated Shuan, in fact I'm pretty sure they broke up before Fallen even came out.
Ben Moody wasn't the son of bitch who abused towards Lee!! that's an urban legend. The abuse he talks about in this song was his problem with the drugs after leaving the band.
Long time ago (before Ben's departure) SUPPOSEDLY one of Amy Lee's ex-boyfriends abused physically towards her. But I do not remember if Amy ever confirmed that, and his name is unknown - what it's understandable, because of fear.
Yes, she also felt "abused" by Moody, but it was emotional and psicological abuse.
amy has never really confirmed that ben was that guy that abused her, but in an interview she was asked if "the last song i'm wasting on u" was about him she said:" i'm not going t answer that.. but i sort of just did, didn't i?" she has also said "most of the songs in fallen were about an abusive relationship " and that that song supposed to be the last one about him... well u can tell by yourself!
just see the lyrics in"tlsiwoy"..she was asked if the song was a joke and said it was literal
Lyrics to 10.22 : What a tragic affection to harbor The sun is seeking salvation to squander Such a beautiful burden to bear alone I know Writes of fiction, of violence Breaking the silence Hiding the wake of our deception Guarding desperate secrets buried below, And you know [Chorus:]
This is a beautiful song .....
