"Lacrymosa" - Evanescence

"Lacrymosa" by Evanescence
The Open Door - Track 07


LYRICS
Out on your own
Cold and alone again
Can this be what you really wanted, baby?

[Lacrimosa]
Blame it on me
[Dies illa]
Set your guilt free
[Lacrimosa]
Nothing can hold you back now
[Dona eis requiem]

Now that you're gone
I feel like myself again
Grieving the things I can't repair and willing

[Lacrimosa]
To let you blame it on me
[Dies illa]
And set your guilt free
[Lacrimosa]
I don't want to hold you back now love
[Dona eis requiem]

I can't change who I am
Not this time, I wont lie to keep you near me
And in this short life
There's no time to waste on giving up
My love wasn't enough

[Lacrimosa]
And you can blame it on me
[Dies illa]
Just set your guilt free, honey
[Lacrimosa]
I don't want to hold you back now love
[Dona eis requiem]

Amen


Amy:
""I saw Amadeus when I was nine years old and fell in love with Mozart. The part of Mozart's Requiem called "Lacrimosa" is my favorite piece of music ever. I always wished we could cover it, but with programming and guitars and make it cool. It's our moment to try all the things I wanted to and couldn't, so I started messing with it in Protools. Terry wrote some riffs and turned it into this awesome metal epic."

Mozart must be smiling right now..

[Whitelight1970]

I think Mozart would be thrilled to hear this!

Isn't it the greatest compliment if your music lasts through the centuries and is beloved by young people as well as old?

Purists need to relax; it is a wonderful thing if someone loves your music enough to wish to incorporate it in his or her own creations.

[MaestroTJS]

The best thing I can say about this is that perhaps there will be a handful of people who will go and listen to the actual Requiem and realize what great music actually sounds like.

[MuseDuCafe]

@Whitelight1970 love being ripped off and in a much less deeply meaningful pop commercial setting. Oh, yes, just I'm sure what the man wanted.

[MuseDuCafe]

@mesich22 So severely doubt it. This is a terrible idea, cheap, not talknig about bad performance, but a shallow rip of a deep bit of music rendered pop-cheap with that adolescent breathy bad singing so many tweens think is,like 'really emotional. Fucking dreadful, really. Now, if they'd made up their own everything.

[bailenat000]

everyone needs to stop saying that she ruined it, my deciding factor if i like a song is that it sends chills, and both this and the orriginal do that to me, plus if anyone now incorporates classical into rock it should be appreciated, the fact that lacrimosa has withstood the test of time and is used in a popular bands song is amazing

[mcmuffinerson]

Lacrymosa comes from the Latin word lacrimo, which means cry (or more specifically, I cry). A fitting title if I say so, myself.

[KaityCookie]

Her voice is so soothing! Close your eyes and fall.

[goeatbox1]

Mozart was a fun loving musical radical in his time. on top of which he died young. I doubt he would be at all upset if he heard this song. The old people who are too conservative on the matter of music are the reason for the death of classical music. you should welcome the constant revival of classical music by each generation for it is the only way these divine pieces will survive. it's mearly evolution not destruction.

[Pieman6711]

@AntiqueAngel44

should be, mozart's music and other famous composers' music shouldn't be abominated by this person

[Pieman6711]

no,

just no.

take out the guitar, the unnecessary drums and just use the original percussion used in the original song. ._.
