Amy talks “Sally’s Song” in new message    ·    October 12th, 2008

“Hey guys! I just wanted to say a few things about Sally’s song.
I first saw the Nightmare Before Christmas when I was about 13 years old. I loved it so much- the art, the music, the story- that I have watched it at least 40 times since then. It has been an inspiration to me since my artistic identity was just beginning to form, and it never gets old- it still puts me in the mood to create. I was the girl in high school who was blasting TNBC soundtrack in my car instead of whatever was cool back then. In all honesty, Sally’s Song has always been “my song” on that CD, and I used to play it over and over, making up harmonies to sing with it. I just want to gush out loud that I am SO lucky that I got to do this. Please believe me when I say they couldn’t have gotten a bigger fan to do it.

The coolest part about it was that I had complete creative control. It was just like, “go for it!” and I got to recreate the song however I wanted. So I went to my good friend Will Hunt’s studio in Ft. Worth (not the evanescence drummer, weird coincidence but its a totally different guy), who is a very creative producer and drummer, and we just had fun with it. I decided to whip out my new budding skill and play harp on the track, which I LOVE and intend to use much more in the future. Even though my version is different than the original, I wanted to pay homage to Danny Elfman and to Sally in every way I could, from the creepy background vocals to the droning harmonium (which reminds me of the accordian in the song). I can’t wait for it to come out, I love it so much! Thanks Will!
I’m not sure if you guys know this yet, but I’m going to play it on the Tonight Show on October 13. Tim will be up there with me.
I hope you enjoy the song, I cant wait to hear what you think!
love,
Amy”

    OMG!!! I Saw You On Jay Leno!!!! U Were Amazing!!!! And You Sound GREAT On The Harp…By Any Chance Are You Making A 3rd Album???

  2. alex Says:

    I love your version of the song. Sally’s song has always been my favorite song from that movie, and i was so exited when I heard my favorite singer was singing my favorite song. Is it true that your making another album?

  3. Amber Says:

    Hey Amy..You were Awesome on Leno. You sang that song better than the original. And..you looked AMAZING:)

  4. Amber Says:

    Amy, I have a question for you..its kind of off the topic but I don’t know where to look or who to ask for this question. I went to The Open Door Tour concert in Boise, Idaho on 11/20/2007 and you sat down at the piano and sang a slower song. All I can remember is that the chorus contained the word “remember” in it. lol. I know..sounds funny. haha.
    But it has been eating me up because I loved the song and I am just DYING to know what its titled. I would be so happy if I knew. For a year now I have been searching relentlessly for the song and for the life of me I cant find it. I know my friends would be happier if they heard me sing more of the song besides “rememeber”. lol. Thanks,
    Love, Amber

  5. Amber Says:

    p.s. it was the last song you performed…

  6. Anonymous Says:

    Was the song not “Cloud Nine”? “Remember, that all alone, is where i belong” I know that’s not a slow piano song, but that’s the only one i could think of. Btw Amy sounded and looked great on the tonight show. And the harp was amazing… I could tell she was really proud, and so was i!!!

  7. Cale Says:

    Wow! Amy, you had more than enough power in that song to give the reader an almost..I dunno how to put it. Like a romantic chill to it. She’s in questioning of not only Jack, but of herself and her purpose. But what do I know. I LOVED the song and was the first (hopefully) to get it off of iTunes.
