Evanescence - Bring Me To Life (2002 Demo - Lyric Video)

The previously-unreleased 2002 demo of "Bring Me To Life," taken from the 20th Anniversary Edition of Evanescence's Fallen.

Evanescence are celebrating the 20th anniversary of Fallen with a series of special reissues via Craft Recordings.

Available on Deluxe 2-LP, 2-CD, and Digital — as well as a Super Deluxe Edition collector’s box set — Fallen (20th Anniversary Edition) offers newly remastered audio, including the albums singles “My Immortal,” “Going Under,” “Everybody’s Fool,” and “Bring Me To Life.” The expanded set also includes a trove of bonus material – ten tracks in all – comprising previously-unreleased demos and live recordings plus a selection of rare B-sides. Alongside reimagined artwork, all physical formats will include previously-unseen photos from the era, plus a handwritten foreword by Amy Lee, who oversaw all aspects of the reissue. The vinyl, CD and digital configurations will release November 17.

I'm still floored that this song had a guitar solo at some point and it eventually morphed into a rap verse.

[Alsterz]

This is actually my FAVORITE version of this bop

[damongould]

You can definitely hear the Origin sound in the background. Love this! Once an Evanescence fan always an Evanescence fan.

I see many comments about the lyric vid being unneeded - but I kinda disagree. Maybe people finally get that there's no BACK in Bring me to life. Bring Me ̶B̶a̶c̶k̶ To Life!

After being a fan for sixteen years I'm gonna finally see Amy singing it live, can't wait! So many high school feelings 💖

[Alex-uywd]

after learning that amy lee DID NOT want the rapping in the song and it was pushed on to her by the record label, this version feels almost empowering, like its HER song. I love this for her and this version.

[VanessaLockhart]

No matter how many years may pass, a masterpiece is a masterpiece! 💜💜💜

I believe a lot of us die-hard fans have heard of this version before. I know I had. The early Ev stuff, pre Fallen, the arrangements will always have a special place in my heart. I love rough, grungy guitars.

[Deziraye]

Amy Lee still amazes me to this day! I cannot believe she wrote the song when she was only 19 YEARS OLD! Like what!? What an insane amount of talent that is for someone so young! I cannot imagine all the pressure and just the amount of insane craziness for a girl so young to deal with after this song Exploded when Daredevil was released. What an awesome, amazing, crazy journey for her and her bandmates! Forever and Always an Evanescence fan. 🖤💖🖤

[iamizumi]

This version is even more beautiful😢💙 And I believe Amy wanted it this way from the beginning.

Evanescence beautiful unique gothic metal style was a major contribution to music

[OceanVibez]

YESSS GUYS WAKE UP THE BEST BAND HAS POSTED

[willopeda]

I am sooo grateful I get to live during this! It is so surreal! Evanescence has been my favorite band since I was like 6 and they mean the world to me!!

[beautyalaritz]

Knowing the back story of this song makes this ever so special. It never needed a male singer. Amy carried this and it was always be better than good enough with this version. My heart is full now that I've heard the song as it should've been released.
Thank you for sharing this. 🖤
Evanescence fan since the early 2000s.

[drewtheunspoken]

I'm really digging the industrial flavor of this demo. It's also got a raw edge to it that gives it a little more bite, musically. I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite version as both are strong tracks.

[thibault]

Bring me to life song never gets old and a true masterpiece, Evanescence never disappoints us. The early 2000s was the best era

[brysoneshleman]

I like this version better and especially like guitar part at 2:32

[marwanal]

Still listening to Fallen never get old always give me the same feelings as the first time, Evanescence Rocks Amy Lee voice it's like magic .her voice, the lyrics she wrote, i don't know how to describe it, a lot of people don't appreciate real Art.
