Katya:

Amy Lee is credited to have worked on the movie’s soundtrack (her name even appears on the credits). However, her voice was not used in the soundtrack. According to a KNAC article, there were 4 songs that Amy worked on. The titles of three of them are "Now I Know," "Down in the Lab," "Death Dealer's Descent." She may have also worked on "Falling Through the Sky." All of those tracks made the album without her vocals. Amy stated in an old interview (MuchMusic 2003) that her vocals weren't used because of "legal stuff."

The name of a promo EP released in January 2003 prior to [[Fallen]]'s release in early March. It features the version of My Immortal originally intended to be on Fallen before Wind-up decided that the Origin version should be on the album. It was an unmarked burned CD with no artwork.

Sweet Sacrifice

2006-12-23T23:03:01Z

Katya: /* Single */

{{Songs}}

== General Information ==

Written by: ''A. Lee, T. Balsamo''

'''The Open Door:''' Track 1 
 
Described as a song about "a post-relationship catharsis that head-dives from an otherworldly intro into a hard-driving thrash of hard rock guitars and soaring rock vocals" by [http://evanescence.com Evanescence.com]. 
The listener is captivated by Amy’s universe as the very first notes start off. Amy repeatedly takes a deep breath in order to absorb us for an hour. Terry’s guitar part flirts with high notes, as Amy’s voice follows the same tonality path. 
Amy's description of the song: "It's the one song on The Open Door that's about the same abusive relationship which was the source of all the songs on Fallen. It was appropriate to put this song at the beginning, but it comes from a much stronger standpoint than Fallen. It's not saying, 'I'm trapped in fear and somebody save me.' It's saying, 'Fear is only in our minds ... I'm not afraid anymore.'" [http://www.vh1.com/news/articles/1540914/story.jhtml VH1.com]

== Single==
It is rumored that Sweet Sacrifice will be the third single from The Open Door. There has been a lot of talk about it but '''no information''' as to whether or not it will be the third single.

== Lyrics ==
It's true, we're all a little insane 
But it's so clear 
Now that I am unchained 
 
Fear is only in our minds 
Taking over all the time 
Fear is only in our minds but it's taking over all the time 
 
You poor sweet innocent thing 
Dry your eyes and testify 
You know you live to break me - don't deny 
Sweet sacrifice 
 
One day I'm gonna forget your name 
And one sweet day, you're gonna drown in my lost pain 
 
Fear is only in our minds 
Taking over all the time 
Fear is only in our minds but it's taking over all the time 
 
You poor sweet innocent thing 
Dry your eyes and testify 
And oh you love to hate me, don't you honey? 
I'm your sacrifice. 
 
[I dream in darkness 
I sleep to die 
Erase the silence 
Erase my life 
Our burning ashes 
Blacken the day 
A world of nothingness 
Blow me away] 
 
Do you wonder why you hate? 
Are you still too weak to survive your mistakes? 
 
You poor sweet innocent thing 
Dry your eyes and testify 
You know you live to break me - don't deny 
Sweet sacrifice

Fall Into You

2006-10-20T04:10:07Z

Katya:

The first vocal collaboration between David Hodges and Amy Lee. Recorded in 2000 for Musical Demonstrations Pt. 1 now out of print.

Though a rumor has spread that this song has been performed live in the 2006 tour, that is not the case; this song has never been performed by Evanescence.

== Lyrics ==
''Amy's part is written in italic'' 
 
Seems so far 
That I have gone down this road 
Only to find that it ends 
But lookin' back 
There is one thing that I know 
I can't make it all alone again 
'Cause I’m too weak to stand on my own 
But all I need is you 
 
So lead me 
Guide me 
Hold me 
Hide me in love 
With all that you are 
And all that you do 
 
Hear me 
Take me 
Mold me 
Break me a god 
Just fill all of me 
As I fall into you 
 
Just catch me as I fall 
But all this time 
I have felt so alone 
Losing myself in my despair 
With loving arms 
You were waiting for me to let go 
With every step 
You were there 
'Cause I'm too weak to stand on my own 
When all I need is you 
 
So lead me 
Guide me 
Hold me 
Hide me in love 
With all that you are 
And all that you do 
 
Hear me 
Take me 
Mold me 
Break me a god 
Just fill all of me 
As I fall into you 
 
Oh my child 
How I have longed 
For you to come home 
To where you belong 
All of your life 
If you could just see 
All of my joy 
When you are here with me 
 
Oh my child 
''(Lead me)'' 
How I have longed 
''(Guide me)'' 
For you to come home 
''(Hold me)'' 
To where you belong 
All of your life 
''(Hide me in love)'' 
If you could just see 
All of my joy 
''(With all that you are)'' 
When you are here with me 
''(And all that you do)'' 
 
''Hear me'' 
''Take me'' 
''Mold me'' 
''Break me a god'' 
''Just fill all of me'' 
''As I fall into you''

===Amy Lee===

Co-founder and lead singer of Evanescence. Born in Riverside, California on December 13, 1981, moved to West Palm Beach, Florida; Rockford, Illinois and finally stopped in Little Rock, Arkansas. Responsible for many of Evanescence’s hard hitting lyrics and is the main songwriter on the new album, [[The Open Door]]. John Lee, her father, is a well-known radio DJ on "The River" in Little Rock.

==Out of the Shadows==
In 2005, Amy became a spokesperson for the Epilepsy Foundation and launched a campaign called [http://www.outoftheshadows.com Out of the Shadows]. The goal is to help spread awareness about epilepsy and to encourage people to not discriminate against people with epilepsy. This campaign is important to Amy, as well as her family, because her younger brother has epilepsy and she has seen first hand the effect it has.

[[Image:002.jpg|thumb|left|190px|Amy Lee]]

==Other Projects==

In 2000, Amy sang guest vocals on [[David Hodges]]' songs 'Breathe' (The Summit Church: Summit Worship CD) and unreleased song of his called 'Fall Into You'.

She did back up vocals on [[Big Dismal]]'s song '[[Missing You]]' off of their 2003 debut release CD, Believe.

Did some vocals on the [[Underworld]] soundtrack in 2003 but after some issues with her record label her voice was never used. Her name still appears in the credits though.

Amy is featured on Seether's song 'Broken. The song was released as a single in 2004 and can be found on The Punisher soundtrack and on Seether's Disclaimer II album.

TRL Crashers

2006-10-20T03:59:08Z

Katya:

== General Information ==

The TRL Crashers consist of Evanescence fans who are ardently devoted to getting [[Call Me When You're Sober]] on MTV's TRL countdown. The original mission of the TRL Crasher's was to simply get Evanescence onto the countdown, but expanded into a much bigger plan of actually obtaining the #1 spot, after more and more Ev fans joined the team.

On 08/28/06, CMWYS not only became Ev's first #1 video on the countdown, but also a first #1 for the bands label, Wind Up Records.
