Goth-rocker Amy Lee accepts her lyrics can be dark and depressing at times – but she has learned they actually help save lives too. The Evanescence singer hopes her songs about loneliness and desperation help troubled fans realise they’re not the only ones going through difficult times – she’s been there too.
But now Lee has a more upbeat view of life, she’s thrilled to hear suicidal fans have chosen life over death after listening to her songs. She explains, “I’m all about making people feel like they’re not alone. One fan told me they were seriously contemplating suicide, but that night they were playing our album, something pulled them back from the edge. “I know how it feels to be completely alone and helpless, and the last thing you want to hear in that situation is, ‘It’s going to be OK.’ “The only thing that seems to really help is that someone else who has felt that low expressing those feelings to you.”

Amy and the band did save my life. I was going to kill myself one night, and I was listening to their cd and I decided not to.their music is a lifesource to me. I know that if amy came through it and became an incredible musician then whats stopping me

I love evanescence!!! Going over the edge is bad, but dangling over the edge and daring to step over is fun. I hope they make another album soon, I really want to go to one of their concerts.
