this little rock band was formed in the
mid 90s by Amy Lee and Ben Moody
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
evanescent songs
for this list we’ve chosen our entries
based on a combination of the artists
and favorites and their most
commercially successful songs
number ten hello
Oh
we start off the list with a
lesser-known but highly emotional song
that’s been said to be the only tune
from the band’s first album that has
never been played live hello is a
tribute to Amy Lee’s sister who died at
the age of three
for this tree
the singer was six years old and in
school when she found out the sad news
while we obviously weren’t present at
the time this track takes us there
attempting to tackle the death from a
child’s point of view the
three-and-a-half minute track
demonstrates what it’s like for those
who cannot cope with that level of loss
and find themselves reverting to
childish black and white ways of
thinking
No
number nine what you want the first
single off the band’s third studio album
this song gave a lot of fans what they
wanted more music charting in multiple
countries what you want had the band’s
signature driving beat and alternative
metal sound but also contained more
unique musical elements like strings and
piano
with its hook these powerful vocals and
much positive critical acclaim the
Evanescence track also manages to relay
the message to be true to yourself with
perfection
number eight good enough
Oh
a huge departure for the band lyrically
at least good enough is about a woman
realizing that she is in a good place
and most importantly that she deserves
to be there
there aren’t too many rock bands with
the guts to release a song let alone a
single that features nothing more than
piano strings and vocals and that may be
why Evanescence has such a loyal fanbase
Oh
written for her then new husband and the
love they share the track has received
much acclaim
one critic called it the most unique
song li has ever released and we have to
admit that we totally agree
No
number seven my heart is broken
on the surface the single from the
band’s eponymous record could be
mistaken for a typical track about lost
love
however Amelie was actually inspired to
write it after she got involved with an
organization in New York that helps
rescue victims of sex trafficking
you
cited by the singer is one of the most
passionate songs of their third album my
heart is broken was written with the
attempt to envision the fear that the
victims of that sordid industry must go
through
with one critic stating that the song is
among the best material this band has
ever recorded and the alternative metal
tune finding its way onto several charts
we can’t deny the truth of that here
number six everybody’s fool
holding the belief that superstars like
Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera
have sold their bodies for fame and
fortune Amy Lee co-wrote this track with
Ben Moody and David Hodges about a woman
with a double life
available to download in the video game
rock band 3 which is a huge testament to
how well-known the song became the
accompanying music video for everybody
school also let fans see the singer in
an all-new way
finding its way onto the charts of eight
different countries as well as the
year-end charts of two others this new
metal number is one of the band’s most
noteworthy songs for good reason
number five lithium
I see
if good enough is the band song about
embracing happiness lithium is it’s
polar opposite as a track about being
afraid to be happy though to be fair it
does end on a slightly upbeat note
stating that she has never taken the
titular drug songwriter Amelia instead
revealed that she used it here as a
metaphor for numbness charting in 14
countries and reaching the top of the UK
Rock chart lithium’s themes and melodic
sound found an audience worldwide and in
us
you would I don’t
number for going under Sacre
CV and lead
at first track on the band’s debut
studio album going under serves as a
fantastic introduction to what
Evanescence is all about if you’ve ever
been in a relationship that makes you
feel like you were being dragged down
then this song was written for you
however going under steams are also
easily applicable to anyone fighting
depression or sadness a certified gold
single that charted in more than 15
countries the new metal track also has a
lesser-known
acoustic version that some would argue
is even more moving and effective
so cry to me if you have me number three
call me when you’re sober this symphonic
metal tune was written about Lee’s
former boyfriend and see their lead
singer Sean Morgan who checked into
rehab the day the single was released he
may or may not have liked it but call me
when you’re sober definitely hit a chord
with fat
retro actively referred to as a chick
anthem by the singer you didn’t have to
have an addict in your life to relate to
the sorts of problems talked about in
the track
you just had to feel underappreciated
considering it was certified platinum in
America and gold in Australia while also
charting in multiple countries it’s
clear that we’re not the only ones who
enjoyed this too
number two my immortal
if this piano rock palette doesn’t speak
to you on a fundamental level we just
don’t get it the song to really
introduce the world to the band’s
multifaceted sound my immortal showed us
that Evanescence was capable of
recording moving numbers with the best
of them peaking within the Billboard Hot
100 top 10 and earning a Grammy
nomination the single had rock and pop
fans singing along throughout the early
2000
also nominated for an MTV Video Music
Award for best rock video my immortal
remains as powerful today
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
why
you’re gonna drowning
number one bring me to life
was there ever any doubt about what
would take the top spot while the lyrics
can be interpreted in many different
ways there’s no question that this is
the song that brought the band’s
commercial career to life
nominated for numerous awards and
ultimately winning the Grammy for Best
hard rock performance bring me to life
is undeniably the group’s largest
commercial success as well being
certified platinum in the US and double
platinum in Australia
with its diverse range of genres Lee’s
trademark vocals and its new metal sound
this is the definitive Evanescence track
