General information
Listen to the Rain is an outtake from Evanescence's demo album, Origin.[citation needed] The song was written by Amy Lee for her high school choir.[1] On Origin, it was meant to divide the song Eternal into three parts - Eternal, Listen to the Rain, and Demise.[citation needed]
Amy talked about Listen to the Rain when she was featured in an episode of MTV's When I Was 17, which was aired on September 10, 2011. She explained how she approached her choir teacher about performing the song:[1]
|
By my senior year, I talked to my choir teacher and told her that I've written a choir piece and that I would love to show it to her. I gave her the sheet music and she said she loved it and that I should direct it. I really loved that! I was definitely more nervous directing than I would have been if I was just one person in the choir, but we had a few months to rehearse the song. So every day when we go to choir class we'd work on that one, and my teacher, who's so supportive and so cool to me, and really pushed me to do even more than what I was asked to do, because I wasn't asking to step up in front and direct the choir, but she wanted me to. We started out just performing the song that I wrote for the choir at the choir performance, and they liked it so much that they asked us to do it at graduation too. So that was really, really special. |

Amy's sister, Carrie Lee, was also featured on the episode and talked about Amy directing the choir at her high school graduation at Pulaski Academy:

She was really excited, it was a first for her, it was a first for the school. The whole audience gave her a standing ovation and she was just overwhelmed by it, and at the end it was magical.[1] |

The episode featured home photos and video clips of Amy performing and directing the choir at high school.

Listen listen

Listen listen
Listen [listen] listen [listen]
Listen [listen] listen [listen]
Listen [listen] listen [listen]
Listen listen
Listen to each drop of rain [listen listen]
Whispering secrets in vain [listen listen]
Frantically searching for someone to hear
Their story before they hit ground
Please don't let go
Can't we stay for a while?
It's just too hard to say goodbye
Listen to the rain
Listen listen listen listen listen
Listen to the rain
Weeping
Ooh ooh oh oh oh oh
Ooh ooh oh oh oooh
Listen [listen] listen [listen]
Listen [listen] listen
I stand alone in the storm [listen listen]
Suddenly sweet words take hold [listen listen]
Hurry, they say, for you haven't much time
Open your eyes to the love around you
You may feel you're alone[4]
But I'm here still with you
You can do what you dream
Just remember to listen to the rain
Ooh ooh oh oh oh oh
Ooh ooh oh oh oooh
[Listen]
