Songfacts®:

This song is about a love so strong that even though the couple is separated by death, the love goes on. Evanescence lead singer Amy Lee explained: "That song was a little bit of storytelling about not wanting to accept the death of your loved one and just going nuts - to the point that I would go out and dig up the grave."
Amy Lee started writing this song around 1996 when she was still a teenager. She completed it with her Evanescence bandmates Ben Moody and David Hodges, and they released it on an album called Origin in 2000, which was sold on the web but really served as a demo to help them land a record deal. They played the song live but left it off their debut album, Fallen, released in 2003. In 2016, Lee released a new version of the song on the compilation album Lost Whispers.

GaryGreat song, Amy's so talented. The demo is solid but I love her re-recording of it for Lost Whispers even more
Ward from El Paso, TxThis is absolutely one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. The arrangement, the strings, the piano, and (without question) one of the most talented and powerful female vocals! This is art, in it's purest form. I sincerely wish Amy Lee would create and magically perform more songs like this. This song, Lithium, My Immortal, and almost all of the Synthesis album, clearly shows an extremely dynamic voice and instrumental expertise - her talent is unmatched!!! God I love this music!
Villy from Detroit, MiActually, it isn't based on The Crow, it's just about a love strong enough that you'd want to bring them back from the dead. It does, however, use a clip from The Crow movie.
Caitlin from Colmesneil, TxReminds me of the book "Steve and Me" by Terri Irwin. She actually said she still feels close to Steve, even though he's been gone for years. Sad, but romantic.
Samantha from Dover, Nhthis song is one of the saddest ones I have ever heard, with both the strong lyrics and the beautiful tune. it's amazing how powerful it is even to me when I have never lost anyone like this
Sarah from Boston, Mai think this doesnt exactly have to be a coupl it coul also be for family members but evanescence songs are meant to be interpreted by the listener as they like
Michelle from Titusville, FlThis is my favorite Evanescence song, besides My Immortal. It's so beautiful, how somebody can love someone else so much, and death can't even separate them.
Cassandra from Houston, TxMy fave song as well.cant get enuff
Cassandra from Houston, TxI knew exactly what the song meant.it hits home..I listen to it back to back
Stacey from Vic, AustraliaThis is without a doubt my favourite Evanescence song. The lyrics are amazing as well as Amy Lee's vocals
