Little Rock, Arkansas (USA) era nota al mondo per essere la cittadina dalla quale Bill Clinton partì per ascendere alla presidenza degli stati uniti (minuscolo, tiè ). Ed è nello stesso luogo che la band degli Evanescence (ev'e-nes'ens: a dissipation or disappearance like vapor) si riunisce intorno al nucleo fondamentale composto dalla cantante Amy Lee e dal chitarrista Ben Moody. Influenzati musicalmente tra gli altri da Denny Elfman (Batman), Tori Amos e Bjork, il sound degli Evanescence è tutt'altro che etereo. A far da contrasto ad un potente tessuto sonoro rock puro la voce angelica di
Amy Lee sembra cantare perennemente su una scogliera durante una tempesta.
Dark Rock - fortemente consigliato l'ascolto durante la lettura di Neil Gaiman.
How can you see into my eyes like open doors
leading you down into my core
where I’ve become so numb without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I’ve become
now that I know what I’m without
you can't just leave me
breathe into me and make me real
bring me to life
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I’ve become
frozen inside without your touch without your love darling only you are the life among the dead
all this time I can't believe I couldn't see
kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I’ve been sleeping a thousand years it seems
got to open my eyes to everything
without a thought without a voice without a soul
don't let me die here
there must be something more
bring me to life
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I’ve become
(Bring me to life)
I’ve been living a lie, there’s nothing inside
(Bring me to life)
