Evanescence - Like You (Remix)

Evanescence - Like You (Remix) By Alan Faria. Uploaded by LifeExit.

This song was the second song Evanescence did for The Open Door following Snow White Queen. Terry Balsamo has said that it was one of his favorite tracks to work on.

From Metal Edge magazine:

"The most personal song on The Open Door. "It is about something that's hard to even talk about but feels good to write about" - explains Lee - "It's about my sister who passed away when I was a little girl. I was six years old and she was three. It's affected my life and definitely affected my music writing, and it's made me who I am. It's one of those things that happens early enough in life that it forms you. I think in a lot of ways I made it a thing that I can use in a positive way in my life. I've learned from it and grown up, and I've always felt older. Twenty-four sounds young to me, it's weird."


Having lost a sister at such a young age put things in perspective for Lee, who says she cherishes making music and wants to love. "What else is there?" she ponders. "I don't care about the stupid things as much as I would if I hadn't been through that. The song is about me from the perspective of a child back then, and I go back to that place a lot of times. I went there and wrote the song that way. It's not the kind of thing that I would normally say on a megaphone in front of millions of people."

"It's something that changes you" - the singer stresses - "I love her, and I will always love her. Her spirit is always with us. I feel like I'll always want to have a little place for her on every record. On the last record, it was 'Hello', and I wrote that from the perspective of a child. I was talking about it in a little bit of a different way, but it's the same inspiration".


From VH1.com:

"Amy's description of the song: "'Like You' is maybe the most intimate song on the record. It was about losing my little sister when I was a child. On the last record, I wrote 'Hello' about her. 'Like You' is her place on this record."

@kellyfan57 sorry to hear

This song really describes my feelings when I was depressed, just LONGING to lie cold and dead. The words she uses to describe the grief she went through is incredible and really touching, so powerful! I'm really close with my sister and I cannot image how difficult it would be to be forced to live without her.

Amy always has been and always will be an inspiration, and this song will always be one of the most powerful and emotion filled songs I've ever heard!

I always thought that this song was the most emotional, the most absolutely moving song on the album 'The Open Door' ... the other songs have power, and as a songwriter I've learned to understand that even the smallest words or phrases can mean SO much, all the other songs have so many deep meanings, but this one makes me cry sometimes when I sing it
