"My Immortal" by Evanescence

June3

Music totally drives my life/emotion/energy. I have to have music on all the time. I can’t run a block without listen to music, but crank some “DJ Trashy” or anything with a strong beat and I can easily run 5 miles! I’m the type of person that is totally honest, but I can stuff my emotions away, so when I’m alone and hear a song or watch a movie that hits certain cords, I will totally cry my eyes out (as long as no one is around). With that being said, this song by Evanescence has made me cry more then once. I’m not going to go into details as to why this song twists a dagger in my heart, but I’m sure some people can probably guess:

My Immortal by Evanescence

I’m so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
‘Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won’t leave me alone

These wounds won’t seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There’s just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I’d wipe away all of your tears
When you’d scream I’d fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I’m bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won’t seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There’s just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I’d wipe away all of your tears
When you’d scream I’d fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

I’ve tried so hard to tell myself that you’re gone
But though you’re still with me
I’ve been alone all along

When you cried I’d wipe away all of your tears
When you’d scream I’d fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You can listen to the song here.

    hasn’t been much around for a while that’s good, but some of the old stuff:
    delerium/maclachlan (rmx by airscape??) rather extreme, bordering on silly, so i’m sure a lot of people (including me) think the mix is silly. but if we (you?) are the type that music drills into… http://mp3.juno.co.uk/MP3/SF162364-03-01-03.mp3
    corsten,andrew “forever”

    kraftwerk “the model”
    james gang “the bomber”
    police “bring on the night” (that one reminds me of running at night (but you wouldn’t run to it.) some others of that era remind me of walking on a windy beach after a storm) I used to run to a cutdown PIL like bass (in my head)
    But wait! how did this topic “jog” away from “the jagged icicle thru the heart” topic? :-)

    (searing icicle?)

    roger sanchez “another chance”
    talk talk “life’s what you make it”
    LMC vs U2 “Take Me To The Clouds Above”
    r stones “2000 light years from home”
    blind faith “Can’t Find My Way Home”
    nirvana (cover) “man who sold the world”
    “Moonage Daydream” David Bowie
    goldtrix+andrea brown “trippin”
    ebtg “Tracy in my room”
    Chicane+Bryan Adams “Don’t Give Up”
    Ultra Naté “(you’re) free”
    lyrics don’t do much of anything to me (i’m a guy :-) )

    don’t hear much good stuff recently, but here’s some old stuff:
    maclachlan “silence/delirium” (airscape rmx) so extreme it seems silly, but it works.
    blind faith “can’t find my way home”
    r stones “2000 light years from home”
    lmc vs u2 “take me to the clouds above”
    goldtrix+andrea brown “trippin”
    ebtg “tracy in my room”
    bowie “moonage daydream”
    nirvana “man who sold the world”
    kraftwerk “the model”
    police “bring on the night” (reminds me of running afer sunset. some others of that era remind me of walking on a gray windy beach after a storm.) But lets get back to the jaged icicle thru the heart topic.

    talk talk “life’s what you make it”
    roger sanchez “another chance”
    ultra nate “(you’re) free”
    chicane+adams “don’t give up (do what you wanna do)”
    those 2 are sad ones, but lyrics don’t do much for me
