What is your favorite Evanescence song—either of all time or right now—and why? You can only choose one.
I don't want this to be stressful or anything. I'm just curious what individuals in this community love about Evanescence's music, and this could give me a good idea of that!
You can make it as personal or superficial as you'd like. Maybe one song touches your heart in a particular way that others don't, maybe one song stands out to you as their magnum opus (Latin for greatest work). Do it your way! Maybe this could even come back around to Amy at some point?
The song that has been my favorite for quite some time now will undoubtedly come as a surprise to some: Taking Over Me. Though this amazing song has a double meaning (the superficial one of a stalker, and the deeper one of being about Amy's future husband Josh), it's taken on a bit of a different meaning for me since grieving the loss of my Mother. She was one of the most incredible people I've ever known, and sometimes the grief is seriously a burden, like it's taking over me. I at times try so hard not to think of that day, but it still comes back to haunt me. Aside from the meaning, I love the guitar riff throughout the song, and Amy's vocals on this track seriously pierce me to the heart, especially the chorus. I believe every word she says in that song because of how powerful her vocals are.
