EVANESCENCE Singer Says Her Music Makes People Feel Like They're Not Alone
September 9, 2006World Entertainment News Network reports EVANESCENCE singer Amy Lee accept her lyrics can be dark and depressing at times — but she has learned they actually help save lives too. Lee hopes her songs about loneliness and desperation help troubled fans realize 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."
EVANESCENCE's new album, "The Open Door", arrives on October 3. The disc follows the band's 2003 major label debut, "Fallen", which has sold more than six million copies in the U.S.
The group recently recruited THE REVOLUTION SMILE bassist Tim McCord to replace Will Boyd, who left earlier this summer because he no longer wished to tour for lengthy amounts of time.
