Amy wrote a new message on Evthreads a few days ago. It’s a nice long message and in it she talks a lot about the closing of record stores and tells a little story from when Fallen was released. She also talks about Legends & Lyrics and briefly mentions the new music she’s working on!! Amy should get on twitter so us fans can follow her and see how it’s going with the new music ;)
Hey everybody.
I just wanted to check in and say hi. I saw all the stuff about “evanescence day” and didn’t realize it was the anniversary of our first major release! Six years!? It feels all that was a lifetime ago. I remember the day it came out, we were in Seattle on tour and we walked down to a local record store, which is crazy in itself now that those are basically extinct, and bought a copy apiece. Actually I bought 2 copies for extra luck. I don’t really remember much from around then- its a blur. But I remember that there was a poster of our album cover in the window of the little place, and that was a big deal. I took a picture.
Speaking of record stores, did you guys hear that all the Virgin stores are closing? Its so sad. And weird. We really will see the end of record stores in our lifetime. It wasn’t as shocking when just the smaller stores started going out of business, but now no Virgin Megastore in NYC?? Circuit City is closing too. I don’t know, just rambling, but I’m going to miss walking into a music store, browsing around at stuff I don’t need, asking the guy at the counter what cd was on in the store because I like it and buying it, and just feeling like there’s a place where I kinda belong. Maybe its petty and stupid, but there’s just something really magical about looking around at the history of music- from the Beatles to Neil Young to Nirvana to Bjork- and having a little place there. Right between the Eurythmics and Everclear. I hope that this new era of seemingly limitless information will still have some magic. I hope great music will still shine through when there’s an impossibly bigger sea of noise. I hope that radio stations and record companies will either find a way to restore their confidence in music and originality or just go ahead and die already.
So the Legends and Lyrics thing was pretty crazy. Turns out Dwight Yoakam is a complete badass. I guess I’m the last to know because I don’t usually listen to country, but I don’t care what you like, he is the real thing. A musician, an entertainer, a storyteller, a pro. Gavin DeGraw was extremely talented too. He’s a great songwriter and his voice is insane. I’m only saying all this because I really didn’t know anything at all about either of them before going to Nashville. The fact that the three of us sat around in a circle on stage and played songs in the same setting was somewhere between genius and hilarious- we’re all vastly different. I think thats why I liked it so much. The banter was akward for sure but the music was really good. I’m nervous and excited to watch it. Thanks to you hungry, sleep deprived people that trekked it long distances to support us that day. It meant alot to me. Thank you to Susana and Kaiden for the cupcake kit and I LOVED THAT CARD! My sister Carrie was there with me and we played the pirate song over and over cracking up later that night. Kaiden, you are awesome and I wish I could get hugs from you every day!
I’m excited about the music I’ve been working on lately- no nametags yet so relax!- I hope to be always growing and edging toward the outskirts of my comfort zone. Thank you for appreciating the music I’ve made so far, and thank you for sticking around in the quiet times.love,
Amy

April 9th, 2009 at 12:00 am
Pretty soon all the major record labels will be available online, and since technology continues to improve this will drive other large companies to follow the trend. Its a good and bad thing. But your band continues to rock. Im doing my second tour in Iraq and I still play your video especially Broken and Bring me back to Life.
As for Virgin and Ciruit City the competition has driven them to close, and as economy continues to affect everyone this will be the end result. Were not saying goodbye to them its more like a farewell :-)
April 19th, 2009 at 7:47 pm
I’m So Excited For Any New Music Coming out,I Just cant wait. Hope your’e fine and well! Evanescence is the best. well no. amy lee! ^^

April 30th, 2009 at 7:56 am
first off im pretty nervous to even write this, ive been a fan for years. i really am looking foward to any new music you guys come out with, everything you guys do is beautiful to me, i mean shit it gives me goosebumps. XD your lyrics and every cord in your music inspires and pushes me to do better, your music has pushed me through many tough times in my life, especially with the loss of my dad. your all very amazing and im wishing the best of luck to you guys, i love you all and will never stop loving you, keep rocking one day i may just be able to meet and thank you and perhaps one day your band and my band can play and kickass one special day. love you all and goodluck with everything
May 1st, 2009 at 8:43 am
hi amy you are nice girl
May 4th, 2009 at 5:21 am
Hey Amy,
If you do read this (again. It could happen) I want you to know that you are my complete and utter inspiration. I’m working to sing as good as you, and that takes ALOT of effort because I’m an alto, but slowly moving my way up. I’ve been an Ev fan since..err..for a long time and your music has always inspired me.
I wish you best of luck on your new album, solo or not.
May 14th, 2009 at 2:11 pm

I was wondering if you ever have a day just for yourself. Just to sit back watch some movies on a rainy day, just vedge out and chill. Because it’s important to take some time for yourself. Everyone wants something from you, it must get tiring. So just a little reminder to sit back and set some time for yourself.
June 17th, 2009 at 5:17 am
hi..sweety how are you??
how is the life with you??

love.

Ello. I don’t know if you’ll ever read this, maybe one day you’ll check out the website and find my strange comment at the bottom, I hope so x I remember April 22nd 2003. I was nearly 8 then. And I remember hearing Bring me To Life. I was at my cousin’s house and she had a poster of you in her room. I always loved her room, covered with faces of singers, guitarists, drummers, basists, pianoists….it was like a great magical dark world to me.
Everyone seems to have a certain band they adore in particular. My friend loves any metal, any rock, but when she hears Avenged Sevenfold she’s says she finds her home, she finds who she really is inside. That’s what it was like hearing Bring me to Life for the first time on April 22nd 2003. I knew at that moment….in that second that I was eternally and forever in love with each sweet lyric, every incredible sound that went into the making of the Evanescence songs.
Now, I live my life by your songs.I always will. You are The Fallen Angel Amy. But you will never fall, never, and neither will Evanescence.
Thankyou for writing xxx Thankyou for singing xxx Thankyou Amy xxx
All the way in England, Listening to Nirvana :) Shereen xxx

Hi amy,I am not normally into the twitter thing.I just wanted to let you know that you are the best female singer I have ever heard.I don’t know whether to smile or cry when I hear you voice.I think it would be awesome if you did a song with
Maynard James Keenan,have you ever heard of Puscifer? if not listen to the song The Mission
