Bring Me to Life

I totally love this song - not just the single version, but the unaccompanied version with just the female singer on it, which is included on this CD.This is an excellemt song - a fusion of rock and pop and goth that works surprisingly well. Vocals are excellent, and if this doesn't have you head-banging, nothing will!!

Love this

loved this song forever

Brill.

Fantastic service, it came quicker than expected. Lovely to hear this cd again after so many years. The quality is brilliant for a second hand item

Brilliant single.

Magical

I absolutely loved this CD - the mixture of nu metal combined with Amy Lee's stunning voice and the orchestral stuff really works for me. Not the most cheerful collection of songs, granted. In fact there's rather a lot of lost love, despair and a bit of death thrown in - but it's great when you're in that sort of mood! It needs to be played loud, in my opinion. Doubt it'll ever be followed. Best track is Bring Me To Life but there are some other good ones too.

Perfect condition. Been a big fan of Evanescence for a long time this is a great cd to add to my collection such a classic song.

"Bring Me To Life" is not only the best video ever made, but possibly the best video that ever will be made.The song meshes gritty rap-metal with the symphonic elements of classical piano and violins, fused together with overpowering lyrics and vocals. The resulting "Bring Me To Life" is beautifully haunting and intensely passionate. I haven't heard anything as richly layered and complicated since Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven". Plus the contrasting duet between Amy Lee and Paul McCoy raises the intensity to unbearable levels.After paying close attention to the lyrics, and crying through the video a dozen times, I think I've finally figured out the power of popular music, at least in this case. It's nothing new, really.Interestingly enough, even the artists don't know why their song is so powerful. Moody expressed his ignorance when he told Entertainment Weekly, "We're actually high on the Christian charts, and I'm like, 'What the <expletive deleted> are we even doing there?'" The Arkansas goth-metal group came up through the Christian circuit and amassed a loyal following through live shows and limited-edition singles, but they seem to have been backing away from their faith backgrounds, giving a clue of Moody's ignorance. Still, Moody hasn't walked away from his faith, as evidenced when he wrote in the album acknowledgements: "Jesus, all the life left in me is you."But even when artists are intellectually confused, they are still well-connected to their own subconscious, and to the spiritual side of reality. And looking through the glass darkly, they are often closer to the truth than they themselves realize.So what is the power of "Bring me to Life"? The answer is in Pope John Paul II's theology of the body, though one can find hints in the contrast between the Islamic and Christian perception of women. In Islam, the wife is seen as slave to the husband, reflecting their belief that humans are slaves to Allah. In Christianity, the husband must sacrifice for his wife as Jesus sacrificed for His bride the Church, while the wife defers to the husband's leadership, thereby reflecting the relationship of humans to God as children to a father. In both cases, marriage reflects theology. In the "Theology of the Body", the pope makes it clear that the sexual union within marriage reflects the communion of persons within the Trinity. So when we fall in love, it feels so good precisely because God is love, and we are made for love - it is part of our essential nature as human beings, made in the image and likeness of God.As Augustine put it, "Our hearts are restless, Oh Lord, until they rest in you." Accept no substitutes, and don't confuse the reflection for the real thing.The dramatic video begins in Daredevil's gothic New York, with whistling wind and sirens in the background. The camera zooms past a few skyscrapers, then swings through the open window into Amy Lee's bedroom, where she is tossing in her sleep, disturbed by a frightening dream of falling. This is followed by a long, silent pause (something that valuable radio airtime normally does not permit).She bolts awake at Paul McCoy's "Wake up" yell, gets out of bed, and then steps out of the window onto the ledge, drawn by the music. Walking carelessly along the narrow ledge, she passes a number of rooms in which people are living empty lives, echoing the lyrics, "Without a soul, my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold until you find it there and lead it back home." The reference to heaven is unmistakable, but only if one is familiar with the Gospels ("In my Father's house are many mansions" John 14:2) and the Psalms ("I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever" Psalm 23:6). One seeming exception to the persuasive emptiness is a room in which Mardi-Gras partygoers are dancing wildly. But their energy is meaningless, as shown by a masked figure who lifts her mask to reveal an elaborately painted face underneath, poetically expressing the lyrics, "Save me from the nothing I've become." Desperate to fulfill her unmet need, Amy scales the high-rise apartment to find what she thinks will satisfy her. But only God can satisfy both her deepest yearnings:Amy: "Only you are the life among the dead."Christ: "I came that you might have life, and might have it abundantly"Amy: "Call my name and save me from the dark."Christ: "I am the light of the world...I will be with you always."Amy: "Breathe into me and make me real."Christ: [He breathed on them, and said to them] "Receive the Holy Spirit"In the end, the man can't save her, and so the video ends on a dark and tragic note, though softened by ambiguity. But it is perfectly correct: placing our absolute love and trust in anyone but God is futile, for no mere human being can save us:Paul: "I've been living a lie. There's nothing inside."Jesus: "I am the way and the truth and the life."One hopes and prays that after their fame and glory passes, and before they prepare to meet their maker, the members of Evanescence solidly connect with the meaning of what they sang. And pray that we, their fans, should also be as fortunate.

...Let me say this loud and clear: This single is NOT for the mass of new fans brought in by BMtL who already have 'Fallen' or the DareDevil soundtrack. ...So who should be buying this 4-track cd? Those who only want a cd copy of BMtL and not either of the above mentioned albums, and the original fans.I've been a fan of Evanescence ever since December, '98, when I was lucky enough to catch their concert at Vino's in Little Rock, AR while visiting a friend. I'm one of the 100 who own the first EP, as well as one of 50 who were able to sneak in an order at BigWig Enterprises for the second EP. ...So this single is for me, and everyone else who fell in love with Ben and Amy's music before BmtL was ever released. It's for the fanbase that's been desperate for a copy of BMtL WITHOUT Paul's vocals, as it was originally intended. For those who were angry when it was announced that the label insisted on cutting Farther Away, Missing, and Breathe No More (still yet to make an appearance) from 'Fallen', despite protest from the band.And honestly, if you know who Gabe is, smile at the mention of Exodus, and cringe when 'the board that shall not be named' is brought up....you probably preordered this single the instant it was listed on Amazon.Like I did.Just for drill, here's a track by track:1. Bring Me To Life - if you haven't heard BMtL, you've been living under a rock.2. BmtL (Bliss Mix) - Paul's vocals have been cut out from this version, which is something half the original fandom probably wept with joy over.3. Farther Away - hard edged song, complete with guitar riffs...most definately a favorite within the original fandom.4. Missing - Beautiful ballad..it's been a favorite of mine since I got my hands on the 2002 demo.
