Every now and then, a song comes along with the power to change your world. For the year 2003, My Immortal is that song.
There are many who thought that Evanescence had already passed their use-by date, but this song triumphantly proves them wrong. A far cry from their two previous singles from the album Fallen, My Immortal sees the band indulging in epic, ground-moving balladry that will bring a tear to the eye of anyone who gets emotionally involved with the music they listen to.
The single version of this song differs from the album version, and both versions are very enjoyable. The album version has a gentle air of quiet reflection, whereas the single version mixes this with raw passion by bringing in the full band in its dramatic climax.
This single is a must-have, for those with the album *and* for those without.
